ANKS ON AMERICA! Rothschild Says Stock Mar ket Alarm Is Undue. EUROPE IN NO WISE EXCITED "Voted Financier Term the Alleged Dead Set of Britain Against United States Secarltles the Remark of a Fool. LONDON, June 1L Lord Rothschild was Interviewed by an Associated Press representative today on the financial sit uation in America. "It is no good to look further than your noee in these matters. The depreciation In stock values Is not caused by European selling for the very good reason that Europe has scarcely any American secu Titles to selL Yesterday's sales in London were almost entirely on New York orders, Amsterdam sold slightly, but not nearly so much as was attributed to that city by the dispatches. When an American wants to sell he has got Into the habit of sending his order here and leaving it to the arbitrage houses. "There is absolutely no feeling of dis trust in Europe over the financial condi tions in America, Only a fool would say that the financiers here are making what you call a dead set against American securities. What do I think of the fpture? Well, the best an swer I can give is this," and Lord Roths child handed over a stock ticket showing that he had just purchased 500 shares of an American railway. "That, of course. Is only a drop in the bucket, but I may tell you that one of the wealthiest capi talists I know yesterday inveated 200,000 in American securities, and he has put another 200.000 into them again this morning. That sounds large, but It is nothing compared with the selling orders which come from New York. At such pe riods as thla the transactions of even the large Investors have a small effect on the market, in which speculators figure so largely." Lord Rothschild's explanation of the re cent serious shrinkage in values Is this: "Speyers went into street railways. Yerkes came over here to electrify the undergrounds. Morgan bought British se curities, and I am told Schwab went in largely for British Industrials. They all thought that British or European Invest ors would take a larger share In these European enterprises than they did. The result is that some of the largest capi talists in America have been obliged to realize on their securities on the other side in order to provide capital for their undertakings here. Under such circum stances, quotations were bound to go down." PREVENT FOREST FIRES. Destroy Debris and Decayed Trunks Lying: on the Ground. HILLSBORO. Or., June 8. To the Edi tor.) As the dry season approaches, it Is hut natural that our thoughts should turn to the forest fires of last season and the means of preventing them for this and future seasons. While I -do not believe that the actual destruction by forest fires to the standing forest is as great as usu ally estimated, it must be admitted that ?-5ong as any unnecessary destruction oc- !I Sts we should use our best endeavors to f '-"-"-prevent them. The Government, in setting aside the forest reserves and taking the means of protecting them, has done a commendable .service, at least sq far as our forests are roncerned, but I do insist that the means Used for preventing forest fires is not well advised, but sure sooner or later to react upon us in the was of furious and de structive fires. By preventing fires in the lorest wa permit the accumulation of offal from the trees from year to year until ,the ground becomes a veritable brush heap, which only awaits a dry sea son and chance spark to send the fury of the flames through the timber, thereby causing it to be killed and eventually de stroyed. Believing' that it Is practically impossible to prevent fire from visiting any large area for the period of a genera tion of our forest trees, our chief care should be to render them less destructive when fires do occur. Notices, with prom ises of diro punishment, etc., spread broadcast over the country, can only serve to permit the accumulation of debris on the ground, but cannot prevent the work of Nature from now and then dropping firebrands where and when they are least desired. It is not uncommon for fires to be set in our mountains By lightning. While this may occur at another season of the year, yet the fires may smolder along for weeks, and even months, until the day when the surrounding country is ripe, and then burst forth with all Its fury, and there Is no telling where It will end. We know that forest fires frequently travel many miles, from what source we may never know, but we do know that so long as fire is used for so many purposes as now. we should always be prepared to minimize the destruction which it brings. We note that every city is prepared to fight its fires, and that their apparatus is too often called into service. I think a better way to prevent the destruction caused by for est fires is to prepare for them by burning out and destroying this debris at times when there is no danger of the fires going to the tops of the trees. In the forests of this country there is very little danger of the killing of the timber by fire, except In the dryest part of the dryest seasons, and where there Is a great deal of debris on the ground. We may noet that In young and vigorous forests there Is vers little natural debris, such a s serves to feed the flames sufficiently to cause them to go into the tops of the trees, where the damage Is principally done. No farmer will permit a brush heap or slashing to lie near his house until the dry season of the year, but noting the danger to his property, he will go, as soon as he knows it is dry enough to burn, and, being pre pared to protect his buildings, burn out the dangerous object. While he may not get as good a burn, he feels much more safe In burning when he can be present with the means of protecting his property than in leaving the matter to chance, which might be very destructive. We also note that in cities rubbish heaps, wooden buildings, etc.. are regulated Just as far as private liberty can be restrained for the public good. Instead of waiting a month or more,' the Government should send men today into the forests to set out fires, destroy the brush heaps, rotten trunks, etc. that are lying on the ground. There would be no danger at this time of killing any valu able trees, and a week's work now would, in my opinion, afford more real protection than all the fire patrols that have ever been employed In our forest reserves. I have noticed In the newspapers that the Government proposes to extend bar riers at regular distances through the re serves, whereby a fire might be limited when it occurs. This. I think. Is the true means of preventing the destruction, but those "barriers, if established by Judicious use of fire, might just as well be made to cover practically all of the ground. While prevention of fires is a great problem, a still greater problem lies be fore us in this connection, and this is to start new and vigorous growth where the old forests have been burned or cut down. My observation is that this can only be done by first removing almost every ves tige of . the original forest. So long as the dry trunks of an old forest remain on the ground, so long will that forest be a fire trap and endanger any new growths which may arise. Very young fprest trees are easily killed by fire, and. being- killed, soon fall, forming a thick mat of most inflam mable material over the surface of the ground. This in turn must bo destroyed oy suDsequent ares or run the very nar row chance of being missed entirely by them. So, In my opinion, where a fire has recently occurred, we should use extra exertions to destroy all of the old stock re maining on the ground. Then we are ready to consider the question of starting new lores ta. L. E. WILKES. ROOSEVELT, BURROUGHS. The XatHrallt Is Appreciative of His Host. Chicago Evening Post. John Burroughs, the President's guest on his Western trip, and whom Nature has Inspired to write of her ways, told In the trip to Evanston of Mr. Roosevelt's love of the fields and woods and all that dwell therein. "The first sight of the prairies," said Mr. Burroughs, "made the President's eyes brighten. He spoKe this morning of Spragues lark. which we hope to hear singing In the West. Yes, that is the Missouri sky lark, many people call It. The President spoke of Its singing as It takes its zenith .flight early in the morning. He knew the bird and loved it when he was on the ranch In the West 30 years ago. We had a discussion -on the song -of the Western meadow lark. He spoke of the notes of the bird as forming a complete song. differed from him, for my impression is that the song Is not rounded out to com pletion. We will hear it together, I hope. and tne lark shall decide between us. -Mr. Roosevelt's, ear Is attuned to all the sounds of Nature. He spoke of the call of the sandhill crane, which, when heard at a distance, has a music of Its own. He has found something of beauty In the far off call of the bull elk. Near at hand the call is a bellow, nothing else; but across a valley, with the sound softened by the distance, there is something tnat is pleasing In the utterance of this dweller In the wilds. We are going where it may be heard. Mr. Roosevelt notes every bird which crosses the sky or darts into the shrubbery- He knows all the birds by name, and he knows their characteristics We dont agree on the mocking bird. -He rates it much higher as a singer than I do. We both heard and studied the bird In Florida. He tuld me of hearing the hermit thrush In the West The song appealed to him as no other bird song ever did. Of course, the hermit Is an Eastern bird also. No man can hear that song and deny Its transcendent beauty. "Mr. Roosevelt was kind enough to read an article of mine in the Atlantic recent ly. I had some things to say about one or two Nature writers that I think do not make all their writing spell truth. The President has pointed out to me one or two places where he said he thought I was skating on thin ice. The ice might break, he thought, where I spoke of in stinct as being the prime thing in mak ing animals fear man. He tells me that when he went West to the ranch life in the early 'SOs the grizzlies were compara tively tame, but that now they fear man, He holds that they have been taught to fear him. and that If Instinct had all to do with It the bear would have held their fear In the old days. Ho Is right in part, and I am right in part, I think I may say. A man strokes a dog, and then puts his hand, with the odor of the dog cling ing to It, near some kittens that never saw a dog. kittens just born, in fact. In an Instant, the odor caught, their backs are up and they are spitting like wildcats facing an enemy." RECEIVER ASKED FOR. Shipbuilding Company Ordered to Give Its Side of Case. TRENTON, N. J.. June U. Judge Klrk- patrick. of the United States Circuit Court, at his chambers Jn Newark, today, made an order returnable in Trenton next Monday for cause to be shown why a receiver should not be appointed for the United States Shipbuilding Company. The application was made by Roland R. Conk- lin, who charges that the company is in solvent, and also alleges fraud in con nection with the incorporation and man agement. The company was organized about a year ago, with an authorized capital of $20,000,000 and with a provision for a bond issue of $16,000,000. Of this, $9,000,000 was to be underwritten by a trust company. The applicants for a receiver are holders of some of these bonds. It is charged by Conklin and his co-suitors that the prop erties acquired were worth northing like $2,000,000; that the contracts on hand were only $14,000,000: that the working capital was less than $3,000,000, and that the earn ing capacity was oly $r,000,000, an amount insufficient to pay the company's fixed charges. General Fnnston and Herbert Welsh. Chicago Inter Ocean. A few weeks ago Herbert Welsh of Philadelphia addressed an open letter to the President charging that General Fun ston ordered his men engaged in the bat tle at Caloocan to give no quarter to the rebel Filipinos. As soon as General Funston saw the Jetter ho wrote the Secretary of War requesting that a court of Inquiry be appointed at once to Inves tigate all the allegations made by Mr. Welsh. General Funston did not evade any phase of the Issue presented. He gave emphatic and .specific denial to every' charge and insinuation made by Mr. Welsh, and added: "If a court of in quiry' finds that I gave any orders be fore the engagement at Caloocan or be fore any other engagement in which I participated in the Philippine Islands that would Justify the giving of no quar ter, then I will at once resign my com mission in the United States Army." Sesretary Root declined to order a court of Inquiry. Why? Because the charges had been Investigated by two courts of Inquiry In which 200 witnesses had been examined and no testimony had been produced to sustain the charges. Mr. Welsh must have known of these Investigations, yet he went before the country to repeat the Idle gossip of camp followers and give It the character of a serious charge against one of the most gallant of American soldiers. What the people cannot understand is why a man like Mr. Welsh should be eager to smirch the character of an American officer who has won his promotion to high rank in the Army by arduous and meritorious service and at the same time be as eager eo exploit the characters of those hostile to the flag and all It represents. The people have given Mr. Welsh a measure of confidence In the past, mak ing due allowance for his idlosyncracles when answering his appeals. But after the recent demonstration of his Inability to appreciate American achievement and of his hostility to deserving American soldiers why should the people give him any encouragement or support whatever?

He left the city immediately, saying he was going to Sherman, sixty miles north of Dallas. Darden is accused by affidavit with embezzling money from a Miss Martin, of Coldwater, Mich., who Is visiting In Dallas. During the three months -that Darden was in Dallas, prior to his ar rest a week ago, he played a dashing part, claiming to have unlimited capital behind him at Chicago and Portland for the promoting of canning factories, lrri- FORMER PORTLAND MAN JAMES G.

Uarden, Formerly of Port land, Is Arrested for Swindling. James G. Darden, who Is under arrest at Dallas, Tex., on charges of swindling, was well known In Portland, and several times barely escaped prosecution upon similar charges here. He attempted to break into politics last Fall, but on ac count ' of Investigations made regarding his record In Portland he was forced to withdraw his name. Darden was in Portland between 1S93 and 15. For a time he was employed as a traveling saleman for E. S. Larsen & Co. After having trouble with that firm he was employed "by the Oregon Packing Co. He was charged with having em bezzled funds from them but managed to return the money, and stop the prosecu tion. He was afterward In the employ of the D. C. McKercher Co., and forged their indorsement to a note. On this charge he was arrested, and forced to remain in jail for several days. His friends again came to his rescue, and furnished the money to square the ac count, thus avoiding prosecution. There now stands in this county an unsatisfied Judgment against him for $42,000 with costs. This judgment Is held by the Multnomah Box Company and was granted in January, 1S94. He bad managed to ingratiate himself into the good graces of the firm and borrow $38,000 on his note. Tho Interest on this amount, and at torney's fees amounted to a total of $42,000. His record In Portland was brought to light more completely than had been known during his stay here when he was nominated for Congress last Fall on the Democratic ticket. He was nominated In the Ninth Congressional District. Chicago, against Congressman H. S. Boutelle, who Is a warm friend of At torney O. F. Paxton. of this city. Mr. Boutell wrote to Mr. Paxton for infor mation regarding Dardcn's record in Port land, and the information he produced forced the candidate to withdraw his name at once from the ticket. From Port land he went to Seattle and Tacoma and is said to have been arrested In one of those cities on a charge of embezzlement which was also squared before the pros ecution was started. People who remember Darden while in Portland say that ho was one of the smoothest swindlers that ever came to the city. "He Is a man," said one, "who could go Into a strange city, and at once work himself Into the good graces of the busi ness people. He had a manner that was plearing, and a business way about him, that Inspired confidence In the people to whom he talked, and with whom he was associated in business." NORTHWEST DEAD.

File Under Xew Law, Pays a. Roand Sara. SALEM, Or., June 1L (Special.) A New Jersey corporation known as "Nlcoll tho Tailor" is the first "foreign" corporation to file a declaration in this state under the new corporation law. The declaration shows that although the company has its corporate organization and principal placo of business In New Jersey, all Its officers and all its directors, except one, live In Chicago. The company has appointed F. F. Boody. of Portland, as its agent upon whom service may be made in case of lit igation. The capital stock Is $250,000. re quiring the payment of a fee of $120, of which $50 is the declaration fee and $70 the annual license fee. While It Is yet some time before foreign corporations are required to file their declarations, it Is evident that nearly all the concerns doing a business of any .mag nitude in this state Intend to comply with the law. Some companies may withdraw from the state. If they are doing but very small business here, and others may neg lect to file their declarations, but there has been no Indication yet of on Intention openly to avoid compliance with the law. The Pullman Palace Car Company has secured blanks for the purpose of making Its reports, and a number of other large concerns have taken similar steps pre paratory to complying with the provisions of tho Eddy law. That the Eddy law will squeeze the "water" out of the stock of some- cor porations is shown by a certificate of de crease filed a few days ago. A company with a capital stock of $100,000 reduced the amount to $4000. It Is of course possible that the $95,000 was not all "water," but the reduction would leave the Inference that It was.
