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?

dames U. 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.

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

SQUEEZES OUTTHE WATER
EFFECT OF EDDY LAW ON INFLAT
ED CORPORATIONS.
Tailoring Firm, the First "Foreign"
Corporation to. 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.

able to the most delicate, they present to
those suflering from Eczema the most
successful curative of modern times. "We
know that this will be considered strong
language by those acquainted with tho
character and obstinacy of the disease
under consideration, but it is justified
by innumerable successes where all the
remedies and methods in vogne have
failed to cure, and, In many cases, to
relieve, even.
The first step in the treatment of the
chronic forms is to remove the scales and
crusts and soften the skin, by warm
baths with Cuticura Soap. The scalp,
ears, elbows, hands, ankles and feet will
require frequently a thorough soaking in'
order to penetrate the thickened skin
and crusts with which these parts arc
often covered. Dry carefully, and ap
ply Cuticura Ointment, lightly at first,
and where advisable spread it on pieces
of soft cloth and bind in place. Take
the Resolvent, pills or liquid, In medium
doses. Do not use cold water in bath
