TRUSTEE REMOVED
C. E, Wood Not Acceptable
to Creditors of Bankrupt,
ALLEGE ATTEMPT TO EXTORT
ITe Deafen ChHrpre of Isaac M. Baird
and Insists That Every Effort Was
Made to Hamper Ilia Admin
istration of the Estate.
C. E. "Wood, trustee for the estate of
Isaac M. Baird, bankrupt, -was removed
resterday morning by Judge C. B. Bel
linger after a hearing In the United States
Court. Wood was accused by Mrs. M. M.
Brannon. one of the creditors, of having
made an offer to Baird to closo up the
estate Immediately In the event he were
paid $200. offering as the alternative the
threat to keep the estate tied up for a
rear or two and to further harass and
annoy Baird. George Hutchln, a friend
of Baird. and the latter supported the
charges.
The hearing before Judge Bellinger did
not bring out anything beyond the
charges previously made against "Wood.
Both Baird and Hutchln testified that
Wood had made the offer to close up the
estate provided he were paid for so doing,
and they accused the trustee of having
declared that he did "not find much In
It for him." For himself, Wood denied
the charges, and accused Baird of having
Interfered with his management of the
estate and falling to give the proper as
sistance to the trustee.
Judge Bellinger did not endeavor - to
pass upon the charges made against
Wood to establish the truth or falsity of
them. He removed Wood on the ground
that the scandal growing out of the ad
ministration of the estate had created
such friction that It would be difficult for
him to proceed, and the interests of all
parties demanded the appointment of a
new trustee. Judge Bellinger will name
the new trustee later.
Baird filed a petition In bankruptcy last
November, showing liabilities of $14,631.01
and assets of $975. The assets were
claimed as exempt from execution. Wood
was named as trustee to close up the
estate.
A complication arose which delayed
settlement. Young Wo, a laborer em
ployed by Baird, claimed a prior lien
upon $400 worth of farm machinery, which
Baird also insisted was exempt from
execution. The Chinese laborer took
possession of the machinery, and Wood
as trustee sought to replevin this, prop
erty, holding it belonged to the estate.
In the charges filed against Wood and
in the testimony given yesterday before
Judge Bellinger, Baird claimed that
Wood approached him on February 2S of
this year and agreed In consideration of
the payment to him of $200 to dismiss the
replevin Bult against Toung Wo and to
immediately closo up the estate. In the
event this money was not paid to him,
Baird claimed. Wood threatened to pro
long the case for a year. Wood was
accused of declaring he had taken the
case believing there would be "money
In If for him, and falling to find the
position remunerative sought assistance
from Baird. Baird testified yesterday
that Wood had instructed him to go to
his friend George Hutchln for financial
assistance in order to secure the $200.
Hutchln claimed that Wood made a
similar statcmeut,-io him, as a -friend of'
Baird's. Hutchln,' however. Insisted that
he bad favored Baird upon previous oc
casions and could not accede to Wood's
demands.
Aside from his testimony In which he
-denied the charges made by Baird and
Hutchln, Wood filed an answer yester
day wherein he charged Baird with fall
ing to give him the assistance the Fed
eral bankrutcy act demands and with
having hampered him in every way.
"Wood accused "Baird of having Incited
Toung Wo, the Chinese laborer on his
farm, to assault Wood and cited the
municipal court records of Portland to
show that the Chinaman had been fined
for an assault upon the trustee. Ever
elnco December, Wood claimed, Baird had
interfered with his administration of the
estate and bad endeavored to prevent
him closing up the affairs or showing that
portion of the Baird holdings was liable
for his debts.
Mar Work the Elder Mine.
Judge Bellinger handed down a decis
ion in the United States Court yesterday
wherein he held that J. O'B. Gunn was
entitled to work the Elder mine In Jo
sephine County, otherwise known as the
Waldo mine, and the claims in the south
half of the same section. A. W. Fox
had brought suit to compel Gunn to de
liver to him a one-half interest in the
properties, but Judge Bellinger found upon
Investigation that Fox and Gunn had
agreed the latter should work the claims
and reimburse himself from the proceeds
for money advanced by himself in de
veloping tho claims. T. W. M. Draper,
who had purchased a one-flfth Interest,
was held to be entitled to that claim upon
the property, and the court ruled that
when Gunn had reimbursed himself Fox
should have a four-tenths Interest Fox
was the locator of the properties, now
valued at $200,000.

TO WITHDRAW NEW STAMP

Prlala Too Red.
The handsome new 2-cent stamps just
Issued by the PostlfUce Department are to
be of but short duration. Already a storm
of protest against the new label has made
lta appearance In the East and the offi
cials of the Bureau of Printing and En
graving are at work on a deeSgn that will
be more appreciated by the general public.
The principal objection to the new stamp
seems to be the portrait of Washington
that adorns It. This picture Is engraved
after Stuart's likeness, and it was thought
at first by the engravers that they had
done a fine piece of work. The oval bear

wreath extending up the sides, and Is dec
orated above with two American Hags.
When the stamps were first printed, the i
nose of the Father of tils Country was
seen to be of a fiery-red hue, and the
whole face of the man resembled that of a
rake of his time. The laurel leaves looked
like banana and tobacco leaves, and there
also seemed to be an overdoso of reading
matter on the stamp. These points were
picked out by the enemies of the sticker.
and as a result there will be a new design
engraved.
It was at first Buppoaed that the
reason lor tne carmine tint pi tne
great General's nose was due to
the fact that the first printings
were made with an overabundance of
carmine ink, and that after the workmen
had become used to the new plates, they
would be able to regulate the ink supply
more accurately. With this proposed
diminution of Ink It was also supposed
that the red nose would disappear. But
not so. Experiments were made with
a smaller quantity of ink, but with no
success. Tne nose still remained red. The
laurel leaves still looked like bananas, and
the engravers decided that nothing short
of re-engraving could make matters bet
ter. That Is what will be done.
The picture of Washington used on the
new stamp was the first ever used on an
American stamp, and was for many years
the principal decoration for the postal
stickers. The 10-cent black denomination
of the first regular issue In 1847 carried the
Stuart picture, and four years later, a
10-cent green stamp appeared with the
eame portrait. It was used continually
until ISO. It was In that year that Uncle
Sam issued the finest engraved stamps
that he has ever placed in use, and the
6-cent denomination carried the Stuart
picture. Since that time the familiar
bust picture has been used on all oc
casions, and it Is only the old-timers
that remember the days of the Stuart like
ness. Evidently the people have become
rather fond of the new love, and do not
care to have the old one thrust upon them.
Whether or not the design will have the
Stuart picture or the bust Is not known,
but It is thought at the present time that
the Stuart likeness will be used, with the
few alterations that have become neces
sary. Of the new series, there havo been al
ready placed in use the 1-cent, 2-cent, 4
cent, the 8-cent, 10-cent and 13-cent, to
gether with the special delivery stamp.
There seems to be no objection except to
the 2-ccnt denomination, and" that will
probably be the only ono re-engraved at
the present time.

received last inght by H. W. Corbett,
president of the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion. In a dispatch to Mr. Corbett Sec
retary W. B. Stevens,, 'of the St. Louis
fair, set at rest the rumors started In San
Francisco, and made It certain there will
be nd counter attraction offered to tho
Portland Fair In 1905.
Officers of the Lewis. and Clark Fair
have never entertained the Idea of a post
ponement of the St, Louis exposition seri
ously. They have regarded reports that
such action was contemplated as Idle
rumor, or "hot air," as some havo char-.
actenzea it. jjut even in the event St,
Louis should postpone its fair there never
has been any intention on the part of
tne oniciais in cnarge of the Portland Ex
position to chancre their dntpn. Tt Vina
always been regarded that the dates were
uxea ana Dy no possioiuty could a change
be well arranged.
The Lewis and Clark Exposition depends
to some extent upon the Louisiana Pur-
cnase imposition lor a portion of Its ex
hibits. Displays . that are to be made
at St. Louis will be forwarded to Port
land when the St Louis Fair closes its
gates. Some of the states participating
in the .St. Louis exposition win nri thoir-
nonptrlshable exhibits West and the Ori
ental displays are expected to come here.
A postponement of the St Tui. fa-
mitrht have madp a riiinHr-Hnn nf anma
of these exhibits necessary, and this was
me cmei reaeon ior wnatever concern was
felt relative to the disturbing renort fmm
St. Louis.
When the storr nf n. Ttndhla nncfms
ment of the Louisiana Purchase Exposi
tion was started the officials of the Lewis
and Clark Fair "paid no attention to them.
Later, in order to set at rest such
it was decided to ask the president of
tne bt. .Louis .fair ror a positive state
ment, and yesterday morning President H.
W. Corbett, of the Lewis and Clark Fair,
sent a teleirram to T'ntvlApnt T-vt. r
Francis, of the St Louis exposition, of
wmcn me iouowing is a copy:
"San Franrlivn niiri;niirur ni,vlloVin
port that Louisiana Purchase Exposition
wm De postponed until isoa. As this vl
tally affects our interests it ie nf th
most importance for us to know If this
report Is true."
Owing to the fact that President Francis
is absent from St Louis, the
telegram was sent to Secretary W.
B. Stevens, and he was asked to for.
ward it to President Francis. Last night
belt's dispatch in the following conclusive
manner:
"President Francis authorizes most posi
tive and unqualified statement that Louis!
ana Purchase Exposition will not be nost
poned until 1903. Over n2,OX.C00 obligated
on contracts for 190i. World's Fair could
not be postponed If there was such desire.
anu mere is no oesire."
While President Corbett had not believed
mere was any foundation for the report
that the St, Louis fair would be post
Poned. he was nleaspd tn wwlra nnei
live notification from St Louis to the
effect that there would be no conflict In
dates. Speaking of the receipt of his
telegraphic assurances, Mr. Corbett stated
iasi nigm:
"We are cratlfiod to learn fmm cvi
source that the rumor of a postponement
of the St Louis fair had no fatmrfntinn
While I believe, and all
hold the same opinion, -that even a post
ponement of the St Louis fair would
not seriously affect us, ltfcis pleasing to
know that we will be able to take advan
tage of the close of the St Louis fair.
This will give the pecple who visit the
Lewis and Clark Exposition the benefit of
the work of the St Louis fair officials
who will have collected a thorough ex
hibit of the world's resources.
;i have no doubt that the number of
visitors to Portland would have been as
great had the dates conflicted, but we
might not have been able to have made
such a thorough exhibit without going to
a heavy expense.
"As it is now understood, many of the
nonperishable exhibits of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition will be forwarded to
Portland at the close of the St Louis
fair This will obviate the necessity of
duplicating those exhibits, something that
some exhibitors might have hesitated tp
do. Their availability makes it certain
our Fair's showing will be much more
complete than it would have been other-wlsc
4 "I wish It understood, however, that we
have never believed there was any danger
of the postponement el the St. Louis fair
nor have we feared to go ahead with the
prparations for the Lewis and Clark Ex
position, even though we had to face sach
a handicap. - But It Is gratifying to know
such danger Is removed." . . v
Following dose upon the announcement
that there will be "np conflict of dates be
tween the two fairs comes an-announcement
that Missouri has taken, steps -for
making a. complete exhibit at the Lewis
and Clark Exposition. A telegram was re
ceived yesterday "by Secretary Reed an
nouncing that an Item of 510,000 was con
tained In the general appropriation bill
passed by the . Missouri Legislature lor
making an exhibit at Portland In 1905.
This appropriation is declared to bo
equivalent to an appropriation of $100,000
made under ordinary circumstances. The
sum is sufficient to -provide for the re
moval of the exhibit of the State of Mis
souri made at St Louis to this city. The
exhibit made at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition by the State of Missouri will
be the most complete the state can collect
and promise of its display in Portland
is regarded with satisfaction.
ATTACK ON PORTAGE ROAD
Colnmbta River Man Answers the
Baker City Democrat.
ARLINGTON. Or.. March 2a (To the
Editor.) Our attention has recently been
called to a copy of a petition asking that
the portage railway bill, providing for a
portige railway at Celllo, be referred to
the people with a view of Its defeat, and
In this connection we desire to say that
the proposition 'appears tocome from
Baker City. In the frantior letters writ
ten by some Individual who claims to be
the city editor of the Morning Democrat
published at Baker Cltjv the very satis
factory and lucid (?) statement Is made
that this measure together with House
Bill 2, providing for the regulation of
corporations "are a mere graft on the
people for certain political reasons."
This Is, Indeed, refreshing.
For 40 years Eastern Oregon has been
clamoring for an open river to the sea,
and now when the Legislature -of the
state has heeded this almost universal
demand, and afforded -all the relief with
in the power of the state, we believe the
people, regardless of party, will demand
that the measure well calculated to afford
relief not only to the whole Columbia
River basin, but to the great City of
Portland, shall not be annulled by any
clique or combination, with Its headquar
ters at Baker City, or elsewhere.
That the building and maintenance of
this portage railway at Celllo would re
sult In saving to the farmers and others
of Eastern Oregon, each season, more
than twice the entire cost of the building
of the road no one with any knowledge or
honesty will deny, yet some vaporing up
start furnishes the valuable. Information
that this is la "mere political graft and
imagines that the people of Eastern Ore
gon will do, everything possible to pre
vent competition In freighjt and passen
ger rates; that they will now repudiate
and reject the relief they havo been de
manding for 40 yeirs.
That a portage ralllway will not be as
beneficlar as a canal ail will admit but
it Is a step In the right direction that
will add materially to the development
of the Columbia River basin, and will not
retard the work of building a canal by
the Government Those of us who "were
in Oregon And watched the building of
the canal at the Cascades remember the
long weary years of waiting between tne
commencement and completion of that
great enterprise, and while the work at
Celllo will not in all human probability,
require so many years for Its completion,
yet most of us know the canal will not
be completed for some yeirs to come. If
the building and maintaining of the port
age railway will, after It Is in operation,
save each year more than enough to pay
for Its entire cost then we ask. In all
seriousness, why not aid in the develop
rrient of the state? Why. not. afford re
lief to the great industries of Eastern
Oregon and the whole of the Columbia
River basin?
But this little clique of political moral
ists, evidently headed by the Morning
Democrat advises us that this bill is also
tho "Portland portage railway bill,"
thereby endeavoring to arouse some op
position to the measure upon the ground
that ,it will result in benefiting Port
land. The argument that although this meas
ure will -benefit the great country east
of the ' Cascade Mountains, yet because
it will also benefit Portland, it must
therefore, be defeated. Is, we Bubmlt,
about as refreshing as the further asser
tion that it Is "a political graft"
We are glad there are not many peo
ple in Eastern Oregon who are so narrow-minded
that they do not desire to
see the City of Portland keep pace with
the remainder of the state In whatever
tends to the development and improve
ment of the whole people, financially or
otherwise. The people of the City of
Portland and the whole of Multnomah
County never did themselves greater
credit than when they came to the as
sistance of Eastern Oregon and helped
to pass the portage railway bill at tho
last session of the Legislature.
It Is a well-known fact that the senti
ment in Eastern Oregon has for years
been so strong for tho opening of the
Columbia River that any candidate for
the Legislature known to be opposed to
the opening of the Columbia, either by
the state or Nation, would have been de
feated at the polls.
We very much mistake the peoplo of
uregon it tney do not indorse the al
most unanimous action of the last session
of the Legislature In providing for a
portage railway at Celllo.
No bill that has ever passed the Legis
lature of this state has brought such
hope and encouragement to the farming
interests of Eastern Oregon as has this
portage railway bill, and no appropria
tion ever made by this state will result
in such manifold blessing to he people
