EDDENE, Or" April 21 (BpecUtiThe
present whereabouts of Miss Marie Ware,
-who U wanted by tie Federal authorities
to answer charges of .crookedness while
Beting as United States Commissioner,
cannot be learned. She has not been In
Eugene for the -past three weeks. 'When
she left here she said she was gome to
visit friends. It Is learned that she spent
a few days In Portland, then went to Se
attle and visited a few days, returning
about a week ago. She, did. not stop In
Eugene, but went through on the night
train, whether to visit some Intimate
friends In Ashland or to go farther south
cannot be learned. She has 'apparently
made no effort to conceal her where
abouts. Before leaving here she told
some of her friends she expected an In
dictment would be brought against her.
She was well qualified to act In land
matters coming before her. and all who
hare had business relations with the of
fice will so testify. Her Mends are con
fident that if any crookedness has been
done tt has been at the Instigation of an
other party, who has seemed to have un
due Influence over her.
Reports of a crooked -transaction in timber-land
matters. .In' which an outsider fig
ured, and which was quickly hushed up
when discovered, were current .some time
ago. Her friends do not think she would
commit any frauds for personal gain, and
If she has done so It has been to shield or
old those who have seemed to have an un
due Influence;

nsked what the course of Ms office would
be regarding the case of Miss Marie Ware,

My Instructions, if I am to receive any,
will have to come soon. If the matters

WASHINGTON". ADril St By. direction
of the Secretary of War. Judge-Advocate-General
Davis today addressed a letter to
Brlgadler-GeneratTunston refusing his re
quest for a court of Inquiry to Investigate
his conduct In the Philippines, Tne text
of the letter Is as follows:
T have to acknowledge the receipt of
your communication of the Uth ultimo..
In which you requested that a court of in
quiry be appointed to Investigate certain
allegations contained in a letter aaareasea
to the President by Herbert. Walsh, of
Philadelphia, In which It is charged that
on or about February 10. 1S30. certain
orders in respect to the treatment of
prisoners of war were given by you to tbe
regiment of which you were at that time
the Colonel, as a consequence of which
two prisoners of war were put to death
during the, progress of an engagement
with the enemy at Caloocan, Province of
Luxon, P. L. by officers or enlisted men
of the Twentieth Kansas Volunteers.
The Secretary of War directs me to ex
press his satisfaction with your attitude
In respect to the above-mentioned allega
tions, as expressed In your urgent request
that the Incident be made, the subject of
an exhaustive investigation by a tribunal
having power to administer oaths and to
compel the attendance of witnesses. He is
especially gratified at the disposition man
ifested by you to waive all responsibilities
which stand In the way of a thorough
Inquiry, and the statement which, your
letter concludes that 'If a court of Inquiry
finds that I gave any other orders before
the battle of 'Caloocan or before any en
gagement in the Philippines that I partici
pated in In the Philippines that would
Justify the giving of no quarter, that I
will at once resign my commission in the
United States Army." '
'rne matter has already been made tbe
subject of official inquiry upon three sep
arate occasions. In one of these investi
gations, which occupied 18 days of con
tinuous examination, an officer authorized
to administer oaths to witnesses and exer
cising his authority .whenever necessary
examined over aw witnesses. Neither In
that or In any other Investigation was
there any testimony elicited showing or
tending to show that orders directing the
killing of prisoners of war had been given
by you at any time, or under any cir
cumstances; on the contrary the evidence
leaves no reason for doubt that the charge
was without foundation. The Secretary is
therefore of the opinion that the nubile
Interests will not be served by a further
prosecution of the inquiry and directs
that yon be so advised."
FAITH IS BROKEN.
(Continued from Flrrt rate.)
United States will move first In the matter
'of representations to China to withhold
acquiescence In the Russian terms Is that
Russia has made, as one of the conditions

of Manchuria, the condition that there
shall be no treaty ports In Manchuria,
whereas the draft of the new commercial
treaty between the United States and
China provides for the opening of Muulen

BRITAIX MOVES SLOWLY.
Has Too Much Trouble on Hand to
Get Into Fresh Trouble.
LONDON. April 21 The Foreign Office
has heard nothing confirminir tbe re Dotted
dispatch ' of Japanese warships to kNIu
Chwang. It received no information to
day regarding Initiative steps on the part
ot Japan, actual or In contemplation, al
though no doubt was expressed that Japan
wouia join in tne protest.
-At the German Embassy here It was
pointed out that Count von Bulow, the
German Imperial Chancellor, had ex
pressly excepted Manchuria from the British-German-Chinese
agreement. Count
Bornstorff, First Secretary of the German
Embassy, said: "While Germany Is a
friend and supporter ot the open door,
our Interests In Manchuria are scarcely
sufficiently Important to Justify our In
terference."
Both on account of International politi
cal conditions and King Edward's ap
proaching visit to Paris, where Russian
sympathy is -strong, the announcement'
from Pekln came like a bombshell to Lon
don. It Is discussed with much reserve.
No attempt Is made, however, even by
the most careful students of far Eastern
conditions, to underestimate the gravity of
tbe situation. Nothing definite will re
sult until Wednesday of - next week or
later. Lord Lansdowne Is moving slow
ly, on account of lack of Information and
because he realizes that Great Britain
has her hands full, owing to the troubles
In Bomallland. the governments attitude
in the matter of the Bagdad railroad, the
difficulties In South Africa and party dis
affection. The Foreign Secretary has
been warned not to take any steps to em
broil Great Britain In unnecessary trouble.
There does not appear to be the slight
est hesitation, however. In joining .the
United States and Japan In a joint pro
test in the event of confirmation of the
construction which has been placed on
Russia's attitude.
Baron Hayashl. Japanese Minister to
Great Britain, was questioned tonight on
tne situation. He said there was every
reason to believe the correctness of tbe
reports of Russia's demands, which he
characterized as contrary to the provi
sions of the agreement. He pointed out
that China had not yet given ber consent
to these demands. The Minister declined
to express his opinion as to the possible
aation of Japan.
FORCIBLE JOIXT PROTEST
Br Three Powers Against Itnailsn
Action, Which Violates Treaty.
LONDON. April 2i.-The Associated
Press learns that there is In contemplation
a forcible Joint protest on the part of
Great Britain, the United States and
Japan against the Russian demands In thei
matter of tbe sovereignty of Manchuria.
cir Ernest Batow. British Minuter to
cnina, in a dispatch to the Foreign Office,
confirmed tbe synopsis of the. note ad
dressed to China by M. PJancon. Russian
Charge d'Aft aires at Pekln. Further of
ficial advices regarding tbe Intentions ot
the Chlneo government snd explanations
from St. Petersburg are' awaited anxious
ly. In the meantime tbe British govern
ment Is not taking active measures, al
though Foreign Secretary Lansdowrro In
tends to circulate pour parleurs looking to
Joint action from Washington, London and
Toklo, provided further Information sus
tains the present abstract of the Russian
demands.
The Associated Press is authorized by
tbe Foreign Office to state that the Chi
nese government correctly represents the
Russian claims. These claims constitute
absolute; breach of all the undertakings
given In connection with Manchuria and
utterly abrogate the principles of the
open door, territorial division and Inter
national comity to which the British gov
ernment constantly and publicly has com
mitted Itself. It is added that In these
principles Great Britain has always acted
with the United. States and It Is presumed
that similar feelings exist In Washington.
Nothing, however. Is definitely known, as
with the exception of the "British Minis
ter to China no British Ambassador has
yet reported.
It is pointed out that Russia s explan
ation may throw a different light on her
demands, although In official circles there
la a frank, expression of the belief that
Russia has no Intention of evacuating
-Manchuria, and that the hopes, after de
manding the maximum, to secure a com
promise.
FREXCII AVILL ACQUIESCE.-
Her Relation to China In South Same
as rtuiala's In North.
PARIS. April 24. Owing to the absence
of Foreign Minister Delcawe, Foreign Of
fice Officials maintain reserve In the mat
ter of the Russian terms for the evacua
tion ot Manchuria, but the belief appears
to be generally accepted that the strong.
ties existing Between trance and .Rus
sia assure at last sympathetic support
ot Russlas position, or else silent ac-
qulesenoe.
It is pointed out that France- and Rus
sia have been In accord throughout In the
matter of policy toward China: further
more, the view prevails in well-informed
circles that the continuance ot the bonds
of amity between Russia and .France Is
of far greater importance than any ques
tlon relating to China.
It im Aln nnlnted nut th PVnrh In.
terests In Southern China are Identical
with those of Russia in Northern China,
as the. Chinese territory abutting on
French Tonquin bears the same relation
to France that Manchuria does to Russia.
Advices recently received at the Foreign
Office Indicated disturbances all along the
French-Chinese border following the re
moval of Viceroy Lu. and it was then
seml-offidally announced that French
troops wonld be moved across the border
If French Interests were further menaced.
This corresponds to the Russian course in
the north, where Russian troops original
ly occupied Manchuria on the ground
that this step was necessary for the pro
tection ot Russian interests.

LONDON. April 25. The daily papers
this morning, while protesting at the
cynical -and almost brutal methods of the
Russian move In Manchuria, take differ
ent views as to how this action should be
met. No surprise is expressed at the
tenacity displayed by Russia In holding' on
to Manchuria. Little else has been ex
pected since Russia built tho railroed. and
no one has thought for a moment that
China would be able to make an effective
resistance. It Is recognized that the

Tbe opposition papers attack the gov
ernment for Its "weak-kneed policy In
China." and contend that It ought to have
secured some equivalent If Russia is to
nave Manchuria. The Dally News, re
ferring to the claim of the United States
for treaty ports In Manchuria, which Rus
sia Is opposing, says:
it is their quarrel, and not ours. It is
to our Interest to come to terms with Rus
sia in Asia and let her have Manchuria,

The Standard thinks that this virtual

to pass without tbe strongest protests
and something more.

WILL VOTE ON STRIKE
GREAT XORTHEItX DISAGREES
TVITH ITS TRAIXME.
Demand for Double Par for Doable
Headers Rejected and Question,
Xott Rests .With Employes.
ST. PAUL, April II The question of
whether or not a strike snail be declared
on the Great Northern system is to be
submitted to a vote of the trainmen. The
conference held here today between Gen
eral Manager F. EL "Ward and the officers
of the trainmen's organization resulted In
an absolute disagreement upon the ques
tion of double-heading. The road was
willing to grant, the concessions in wages
asked by the men, but refused to be dic
tated to In the matter of double-headera.
According- to Mr. "Ward, the rreat
Northern does not use" double-headera ex
cept In the mountainous districts, of Mon
tana, and then only uses "helper engines
to assist trains over the mountain
ranges. The company, be says, has re
duced grades and Increased tbe motive
power of ltd locomotives for the sole
purpose of avoiding the double-header
system entirely. But it contends there
is no reason for paying the men employed
on double-headers in Montana twice as
much as men in Minnesota receive for
practically the same amount of work
where trains are pulled by a single loco
motive. This Is the position of the com
pany. The officers of the trainmen's organiza
tion admit that the Great Northern tins
offered them all the wage concessions de
manded, but maintain that they must re
ceive the same treatment on the double
header question from the Great Northern
as they have from the other transcon
tinental roads, all of which, they say,
have agreed to abolleh the double-header
or pay double time to the train crews on
such trains.
The trainmen's officials have gone to
their homes and the question of whether
or not- there shall be a strike has been
submitted to a vote of the employes of
the road. Each side is confident that the
vote will sustain Its posltlod. It will prob
ably be a week or ten days' before the
final result is known.
