THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1903. 3 HOW ABOUT SMOOT? His Election as Senator From Utah Assured. KEARNS BROKE CONFIDENCE Ing the arrival of proper papers from China. The papers did not come, and Miss Miner spirited her wards out of the city. They -were arrested and sent back kto San Francisco. Again the determined missionary left the city with them, and next appeared in the neighborhood of To ronto. The president of Oberlln College made a special trip to Washington to argue with the Secretary of the Treasury for the admission of the two Chinese. Under the law, however, they could not be admitted with the papers they then held, but as soon as the proper docu ments were received they were promptly released. Made Public a Private Conversation. "With Roosevelt. Which Helped Smoot Along: Senate Not Like ly to Shnt Out Apostle. OREGONIAN' NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 12. Representative Suther land, of Utah, had an extended conference with President Roosevelt today on tho Senatorial contest In his state, and much was said about the case of Apostle Smoot. While not Inclined to talk of the inter view, Mr. Sutherland says tonight that, while the President expressed the opinion to Senator Kearns and to others that the election of Smoot would be unwise, yet he has not intended and does not now Intend in any manner whatever to interfere in the election of United States Senators In Utah or In any other state. The X-Tesident Is much surprised and em barrassed at the turn given his remarks by Senator Kearns a few days ago, and feels that hig personal declarations were warped beyond their true Intent. What he said about Smoot was personal, not an expression from him as President. He naturally expected that a personal conver sation would have been treated as such. Repeated reports from Utah received here Indicate that, since the publication of the President's sentlmentg under an im proper light, the election of Smoot is as sured. What will be done by the Senate in the event of Smoot's election Is a mat ter of speculation. There have been less than half a dozen cases of expulsion from tho Senate. It Is quite probable that some Senator when the 5Sth Congress organizes may ob ject to the swearing-in of Smoot and a long discussion may result, but he Is not a polygamlst, and the same reasons do not prevail against him as against Roberts. The Senate, furthermore, is less suscepti ble to public opinion than the House, and. It is believed generally, will not refuse Smoot a seat merely because he is an apostle in the Mormon Church. FOR. RELIEF OF SETTLERS. Bill to Allow Use and Sale of Tlnibcr on Public Domain. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 12. Representative Mondell, of Wyoming, today introduced a general bill repealing the conflicting and largely obsolete statutes relating to the use and appropriation of timber on the public do main, and providing in simple terms for the free use of timber from public lands by settlers, miners, prospectors, etc., and for the sale after advertisement of the timber from the unreserved and unappro priated public lands. It does not in any way conflict with the laws relating to the sale of public timber lands under the tim ber and stone act. Under the Mondell bill, settlers, pros pectors and others will be allowed to cut timber free of cost from the public do main for use for firewood, fencing, build ing purposes, and for development of their lands, its mineral and other resources, but one person is not to exceed stumpage value of 550 per annum, which, at the usual stumpage valuation made by the In terior Department, would give them from 50,000 to 100.000 feet, board measure. At present, under a decision rendered a year and a half ago, there is no way In which timber on public lands can be pur chased, the department having held that the statute under which sales had been made for many years previous did not au thorize such sales. At this time those op erating sawmills for the purpose of sup plying the wants of neighborhoods and those desiring timber for purposes for which the free use of timber is not al lowed, and who are not able to buy under the timber and etone act, find it Impossible to secure timber legally. KEEP GOVERXMEXT TRANSPORTS. Hull Remonstrates With President Apralnst Contract System. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 12. Representative Hull, chairman of the House committee on mil itary affairs, had a conference today with the President on the proposition to aban don the Government transport service on the Pacific and turn the business over to private steamship concerns. Mr. Hull Is opposed to this being done, and gave his views to tho President "It would be bad business for us to re linquish our own transport service," said Mr. Hull, "and I shall oppose any effort to do so. We have the best transport ser vice in the world, and It is much cheaper than any similar . service by commercial lines would be. The fact Is that we ought to hold on to these transports and keep them in good repair. We haven't too many vessels, anJ never know when we may need many more." No Action on Bnncroft. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 12. Owing to the fact that there was no executive session of "tho Senate today, because of adjournment out of respect to the memory of Representa tive Tongue, no action was taken on the nomination" of Fred A. Bancroft as Post master at Portland. ARE ADMITTED AT LAST Chinese Students' Long S.trufffflc Ends, Thanks to Mis Miner. WASHINGTON. Jan. 12-Kung Hsiang Hasl and Fel Chel Ho, the Chinese stu dents whose expulsion by the Treasury Department has excited the Interest of the missionary world, have finally been admitted to the country. The authorities at Buffalo have been notified by Com missioner of Immigration Sargent to al low the. young men to enter that port, and they are now on their way to Oberlln College. Oberlln, O.. whither they wore bound more than a year ago when they landed at San Francisco and found them selves barred by the Immigration officials. v-iig and Fei were brought to the ?ntry by Miss Luella Miner, the mis sionary. During the siege of the legation at Pekin, it is said, they rendered valua ble services to the foreigners. In rec ognition of this work. Miss Miner made arrangements for their reception at Ober lln. When they landed at San Francisco, however, It was discovered that they had no regular papers. They carried pass ports from LI Hung Chang written In Chinese, which were rejected as Irregular by the Immigration officials. The only concession the authoritler would make was to take bonds for the roung Chinamen In San Francisco, pend- MAY DEPOSE PRESIDENT. Colorado Senate Gives Strange Pow er to Its Secretary. DENVER, Jan. 12. After the joint ses sion of the Legislature this afternoon, the Senate met and adopted its rules. A sensational feature was one making re ports of the Colorado elections undebata ble. Another was a rule providing that, if the president of the Senate shall at any time refuse to submit a question to vote, the secretary of the Senate shall, upon the request of any member, super sede the President until the question is disposed of. The Senate Is strongly Dem ocratic, while the Lieutenant-Governor is a Republican. The Legislature, In joint session, can vassed the vote on state officers. The vote for Governor stands: James H. Pea-, body, Republican, S7.774; E. C. Stimson, Democrat. S0.S1G; Frank Owers, Populist, (ACS; scattering. G324. The only Democrat elected Is Mrs. Helen M. Greenfell. Su perintendent of Public Schools, who re ceived S7.013, against S4.942 cast for Mrs. A. B. Brandt. Republican. Mrs. Greenfell was Indorsed by the Populist State Convention. THREE CANDIDATES IX KAXSAS. Legislature Meets Today io Begin Choosing Senators. TOPEKA, Kan.. Jan. 12. The Kansas Legislature will convene tomorrow noon. Governor Bailey's message will be read and then arrangements will be made for the disposition of the State Printer fight and the election of a United States Sen ator. The Senatorial fight will be the feature of the Legislature, and little else will be done until It Is disposed of. The Leland faction Is divided between Gov ernor Stanley and Congressman Chester L Long, while Congressman Charles Cur tis Is the leading candidate of the oppo sition. The Leland people organized the House this eenlng by the election of J. T. Prin gle as Speaker, and this Is regarded as showing to a great extent the sentiment of the House on the Senatorial question. Speaker Pringle, however. Is a Curtis man by virtue of the Instructions received from his constituents, and will be obliged to use his influence for Curtis In the Sen atorial caucus. ' Curtis is now in the lead In the num ber of votes pledged, with Governor Stan ley a close Second, and Long third. The Curtis men have a compact organization, while the sentiment of the Leland faction Is divided between Long and Stanley. The Inauguration of Governor-elect Bai ley and other new state officers took place at the Auditorium today, beginning promptly at 12 o'clock. Governor Stanley, aa retiring executive, made a brief speech, followed by the Inaugural address of the new Governor. W. A. Johnston, who to day became Chief Justice by reason of seniority,' administered the oath of office. An Immense crowd witnessed the -ceremony. This evening a public reception was given at the Statehouse for the in coming and outgoing officials. GOVERXOR M'MILLIX RETIRES. ire discusses the Truwt Evils In Last Mcssngc to Legislature. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 12. Gover nor McMlllln retires from office this.. af ternoon after an incumbency of four years and his last message was pre sented to the General Assembly today. On the subject of trusts the Governor says: "Our peoplo have no prejudices that would cause them to urge the enact ment vf laws discouraging the use of capital, however large the amount, for industrial development. Against this there can be no complaint; but combina tions to crush competition, restrict pro duction and thereby enhance the price of necessities are prejudicial and de mand the wisest legislation." The message declares that to Con gress must be left the application of those remedies against trusts which exist by reason of the protective tariff, but there are on the state statutes strenuous laws for the sufficient enforcement of which a fund should be set aside to be used by the Governor or Attorney-General or both, acting conjointly. The message de clares that something can be done by urging all organizations of this state to report to the Secretary of State the facts In regard to their capitalization, bonded indebtedness, receipts and expen ditures, but It will take more than pub licity to reach the root of the evil In many cases. Governor McMlllln defends his action In refusing to call an extra session of the Legislature to deal with the contem plated railroad merger upon the ground that the exigencies of the case were not imperative and says that any consoli dation of competing lines In Tennessee which would result In destroying compe tition could not be other than detrimental and recommends that such legislation b'e enacted as will best subserve the inter ests of the state. An appropriation for an exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Is strong ly urged. Cnucnx Nominee Elected. SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 12.

Mr. Darrow, on cross-examination, dis puted the method of witness in arriving at conclusions contained in the state ment.

The committee said they would have to consult with Grand Master Hannahan, of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Firemen, before taking final ac tion. It is believed that a settlement will be reached at future conferences. ' Snnla Fe Ilendy to Compromise. TOPEKA. Kan.. Jan. 12. The grievance committee of the Santa Fe conductors and brakemen organizations, in session here, were today notified by General Manager Mudge. of the Santa Fe, that Third Vice President Kendrlck would confer with them regarding an Increaso in wages. No action on the invitation was taken, but it Is expected the conference will be held in Chicago some time next week. The men are holding out for 20 per cent increase In wages. This will not be granted by the road, but the Santa Fe is anxious to agree on a compromise measure. The expression occurs so many times in letters from sick iromen to Dr. Pierce; "I. was completely discouraged." And there is always good reason for the discourage ment. Years of suffering.

George 'Anderson, of Scranton, a clerk m uie coai aejwrunwii i uouipauy. fl t Dettrey took occasion to say. while presented numerous statistics bearing up- on h stad th h, famy ; on the issues before the Commission. One ' , , . i." . ' I of the statements showed that 23SS of the cut or should receive "a good thump ing,- was summonea to the witness-stand by the miners. He denied the charges ab- ; solutely, and several witnesses were called ' who corroborated hie statements. Presi- Sre2kStea that K ' healthy dr ai n s, Company's 13.25S employes have been working In or about the mines for from 10 to CO years. He produced data showing the workings of the company's relief fund, with which more than 5000 of the com pany's employes are connected. The workers pay to the fund one day's pay each year, the company contributing an equal amount. -Men who are Injured re ceive JG a week for three months and. In case of death, their heirs receive $50 for funeral expenses. The widows receive $3 a week for one year and $1 a week for one year for each child under 12 years old. The company fixed $2 18 as the amount a contract miner should contribute as a day's pay. Mr. Anderson also presented a state ment showing that the 25 collieries of the company lost 3CS ten-hour days In 1901, for which the employes were responsible. Of these 115 were lost on account of picnics and other holidays (not including legal holidays); 59 days on account of "Mitchell day" and other days, and 54 days on ac count of the strikes. Another statement admitted showed that since the strike ended In the latter part of October, the 2S collieries lost 110 days, reducing the coal noyed and his house stoned by enemies of the union while he was away from home on business connected, with the union. David Davis, foreman of the Langcliffe ! colliery, and H. T. Hughes, foreman of I the Plymouth No. 5 colliery, and Fred- ! crick Hadman, foreman of Plymouth No. j 3. all testified that" since the strike of 1900 the miners and laborers do not' load ( as many cars as they did prior to the ' strike. The men were willing, but were afraid of expulsion from the union. Mr. Hughes told of how a portion of the men : In his colliery struck because the com-' pany would not pay for standing props, t and that one chamber in the mine was ' boycotted because it was hard work. A ' certain mark was placed in the chamber, ' he said, and when a union man was asked to work the place and saw the mark, he refused to do It.
