EMBEZZLER NEELY MUST PAY j
Postal Official of Cuban Fame Cannot
Escape Attachment.
NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-Judgo Dacombe,
in tho United States Circuit Court today,
handed down an opinion overruling" f00
motion made by Charles A. W. Neely, con-
icted in Cuba' of appropriating $45,372 of
Its postal funds while acting as
director of finances of tho Cuban
postoffices during tho military oc
cupation of. tho Island of Cuba by
tho United States, to vacate the attach
ment filed by the United States against
?20,000 cash bail deposited by Neely with
the registrar of the United States Civil
Court in this district.
Neely's counsel had moved the dismissal
of tho attachment and civil proceedings
on the ground that the act of amnesty
passed by the Cuban Congress in May, 1902,
whereby all Americans convicted of crime
In Cuba during, the occupancy of the
islands ho pardoned, removed with It all
penalties and disabilities, and that the
money should therefore be returned to
him. The United States, which brought
the action prior to the amnesty act, con
tended the money so deposited prop
erly beldnged to Cuba, from which gov
ernment Neely had embezzled It
In his opinion. Judge Lacombo says:
"It is difficult to determine by what rea
son a provision as plain as this amnesty
act can be so construed as to transfer the
Utle to property from the true owners
to the thief who stole it"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. Without ex
ception Senator, Fulton has been given
better committee assignments than any
Senator who is now entering upon his first
term, and It Is a matter of some comment
that he, as a new man, is far better
placed yon committees than a number of
Representatives who are now beginning
their second term in Congress. From the
standpoint of a Western Senator, Mr. Ful
ton has secured everything that could bo
desired, and would be well placed were
this his second and not his first Con
gress. To begin with, he Is mado chair
man of the committee on Canadian rela
tions, and is a member of public lands, ir
rigation, fisheries, claims and revision,
of tho laws committees. Tho importance
of the committees on public lands and ir
rigation need not be explained. On claims,
a 'very active committee, the Senator can
place many of his colleagues under obli
gations, and on fisheries he can look -after
Columbia River Interests to a marked de
gree. His chairmanship gives him a committee-room
in the terrace, and carries
with it the appointment of a committee
clerk. His room adjoins that of Senator
MitchelL
Senator Mitchell retains his chairman
ship of coast defenses, and his member
ship on the committees of postoffices and
post roads, interoceanic canals, Pacific
islands and Porto Rico, and in addition is
made a member of tho judiciary commit
tee and committee on relations with Cuba.
Senator Foster and Senator Ankeny are
placed as stated in these dispatches two
days ago, save that Ankeny goes on coast
defenses instead of on fisheries, and is!
made a member of railroads. Foster goes
on commerce and Is chairman of the com
mittee on geological survey, while An
keny Is chairman of the committee on
coast and insular surveys.
Senator Heyburn, like most new Sena
tors, is given a long list of committee as
signments, but none -that are of particular
Importance. He Is made chairman of
the committee on manufactures, and has
membership on tho committees of coast
defense, geological survey, mines and min
ing, public health and National quaran
tine, revision of the laws and investigation
of trespassing upon Indian lands.

His Promotion the Only,' Point on

Why He Hesitates-About

V
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 23. There is a good deal of
speculation as to what 'Senator Hanna
intends to do politically and in the Sen
ate. It Is known he has discouraged every
effort to boom him for the Presidency,
and has informed President Roosevelt he
does not desire to take the chairmanship
of the Republican National Committee
next year. Immediately after the Ohio elec
tion a great boom, was started for Hanna,
and a great many men Intimated ho would
be tho ono man who could save the Repub
lican party from defeat next year. There
was started, at the same time, a move
ment In the South to procuro for him
Southern delegates. This movement ,the
Senator discouraged, as well as the talk
about his getting the Ohio delegation. It
is known one paper Intimately connected
with the Hanna machine In Ohio had an
editorial in type strongly indorsing Hanna
for the Presidency, and that it was never
printed, through the influence of Hanna'3
friends.
No doubtSenatoB Hanna would like to
be President If he could see his way clear
to win, but he is a man of great political
sagacity and be knows that it would be
almost impossible for him to secure the
nomination against Roosevelt and he also
knows his canaldacy would do mtich. injury
to the Republican party. He desires to
perpetuate the Republican control, if he
can do so. ;nl Is reyfectly willing to -sac
rifice whatever chance he may have to
secure the nomination. His best friends
know he Is sincere In discouraging the use
of his name, and those who have talked
with Hanna are convinced there will be n6
opposition to Roosevelt's nomination in
the Republipan convention.
Pet Hobby of Hanna.
Senator Hanna is earnestly in favdr of
the ship subsidy bill, and will continue
to advocate it although he must be aware
that it Is Impossible to pass that meas
use through tho House. He has not
pressed it at the extra session of "Con
gress, and will probably wait to'see what
the President may havo to say on he
subject in his message. It is generally un
derstood that tho President will urge the
rehabilitation of tb.e American merchant
marine, but will not specifically indorse
the shipping bill. At the same time
Hanna will take that as an Indorsement of
the programme of the last Congress, and
will urge tho bill that he passed through
tho Senate but which was not even re
ported by tho merchant marine committee
of the House. """
Senator Hanna is an earnest advocate
of tho Cuban reciprocity bill. He believes
it is carrying out tho pledge that his per
sonal friend. President McKInley, made
to the Cuban commissioners before they
adopted the Flatt amendment in their
constitution. Ho knows the McKinley ad
ministration was pledged to granting con
cessions to Cuba, and he has stood by
that policy and will support President
Roosevelt in his effort to carry out the
pledges made tho Cubans.
Split on Premotion of Wood.
Senator Hanna Is opposing the Presi
dent only one one important proposition,
and that is the promotion of Brigadier
General Wood to be a Major-General. In
this he has behind him a largo share of
tho Army officers, who feel the promotion
of Wood tendafto- discourage Army officers
doing their best for the service. Wood is
left over from McKInley. It was McKIn
ley who promoted him in tho first in
stance, and It Is now pointed out that if
Roosavelt is elected ho will find Wood at
tho head of tho Major-General3 in January,
1909, and will nof doubt make him Lleu-tenant-General,
an office he will hold for
15 ydJ-3, and prevent any of the present
Colonels, Lieutenant-Colonels and Majors
and Captains from reaching' the highest
rank in tho Army. More than this, Hanna
Is very much interested in Rathbone, who,
ho thinks, has bean unjustly treated. In
opposing Ro'osovelt on the Wood Issue
Hanna probably has half a dozen Repub
lican Senators with him, who think Wood
should not be confirmed.
As to National Chairmanship.
As to the National Committee, Hanna
does not want to manage another cam
paign, even to meet the request of the-
President Ho has been through two cam
paigns, and In each Instance the candi
date was his warm personal friend, and
a man he did more to make thanXany
other. Consequently there could be no
disagreement vHanna feels he might lot
be able to conduct a campaign satisfac
tory to Roosevelt and he believes that
some man who-will be in absolute harmony
with the President should be named for
chairman. It is more than probable that
Hanna does not wish to be blamed for any
mistakes that may occur In the cam
paign, and in case anything like a land
slide occurs to defeat the .Republican
party, he feels as chairman of the Repub
lican committee, he would have to stand
a large share of the blame. This view
Is obtained from those who are very
close to him, as he will not disclose any
of his intentions and views to any one'for
publication.
PLATT IS 'WITH ROOSEVELT.
New York Leader Confident Hanna
Knows the Way the Wind Blows.
NEWARK, N. J., TNov. 23. (Special.)
The News tomorrow morning will pritft an
Interview which its Washington corre
spondent had today with Senator T. C
Piatt, In which he declares New York is
unequivocally for Mr. Roosevelt for Presi
dent Among other things Senator Plati
says:
"I talked with Governor Odell on Satur
day, end hodedared to me that he Is In
favor of Mr. Roosevelt Senator Hanna Is
too wise a man to run counter to a
cyclone, and tho Roosevelt boom Is a
cyclone and tornado combined. It will
sweep the country, and there Is not the,
least basis for the anxiety some people
appear to have regarding New York state,
for It will help nominate Mr. Roosevelt
and he will carry it at the polls next
year. In the nomination and election of
Mr. Roosevelt next year, the Republican
party will be a unit No one realizes this
more than Senator Hanna."
' Odell Leaves to See Roosevelt.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23. Governor Odell
arrived here tonight en route to Wash
ington, where he is to see President
Roosevelt He left the city at midnight
He declined to say whether It was a pri
vate or official matter that was taking
him to the capital.
FOR TESTS OF TIMBER.
Mitchell Introduces a Bill Carrying
$40,000 to Hasten Work.
""OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 23. Senator Mitchell has In
troduced and will press a bill during the
regular session of Congress, appropriat
ing $40,000 to defray the expenses of in
vestigations and tests of American tim
ber, to determine the actual strength of
timbers of various kinds and sizes. He
proposes that the work shall be carried on
by the Bureau of Forestry, of the Depar
ment of Agriculture, and that when the
subject has been carefully and thoroughly
investigated the results shall be pub
lished for the benefit of timber users.
His bill stipulates that no less than 30
per cent of the amount appropriated shall,
be expended In investigating timbers of
the Pacific Coast States, provided state In
stitutions a"nd private citizens of any of
the Pacific Coast States agree to furnish
land and buildings for a testing labora
tory. The Bureau of Forestry Is already en
gaged In making timber tests, but the
work is progressing slowly, and results
are not being, obtained at such a rate as
to meet the demand. Senator Mitchell's
bill Js intended to hasten the work.

Vote on Cuban Bill December 16.
Before cdjournment the Senato unani
mously agreed to vote on the Cuban bill
December 16.
The Senate began the session with a
presentation of a resolution by Allison
providing for the appointment of F. J.
Prettyman, of this city, as Chaplain of tho
Senato for the present session. The reso
lution was agreed to.
Cullom presented the report of the com
mittee on foreign relations on the bill to
carry into effect the Cuban reciprocity
treaty. The bill went to the calendar.
Hale then moved to reconsider the vote
by which the Newlands resolution for tho
annexation of Cuba was referred to tho
committee on relations with Cuba. Ho
made the motion the basis of a speech in
opposition to the policy -"proposed by the
resolution, saying that this country had
already declared Its policy with reference
IE
to Cuba by enacting the Teller resolution
Into law. He would not extend such an
Invitation to Great Britain, for the union
of Canada to the United States, or to
Mexico for such a union. In this connec
tion Hale said incidentally he had no doubt
that there were men alive who would live
to see the annexation of Canada to tho
United States. He closed by urging tho
Senators to take no steps toward closing
progress In Cuba.
Hale's language in reference to tho pos
sibility of Canadian annexation was as
follows: "I havo little doubt that men
now listening to me will see the time
when Canada will become an Integral part
of the United States. If his plan Is car
ried out by one of the greatest of Brit
ish politicians, a colonial preference tar
iff will be Inaugurated between Great
Britain and the United States, and this
English politician will seek to set Can
ada up as a great rival to us, an agricul
tural rival. Out of that will arise condi
tions, discussions and considerations that
will end in the union of the two peoples.
But we do not Invite Great Britain to
send Canada to join us and join the
Union. She Is too large a power."
Newlands expressed gratification Mhat
his resolution should have such early con
sideration. He agreed with Hale In much
that ne said concerning the progress oi
Cuba and the character of Its people. Still,
It was a fact that Cuba had been com
pelled to confess her inability to cope with
other nations In business affairs. He also
referred to the concession of the privilege
granted to the United States for erecting
fortifications on Cuban soil, and to our
supervision of the foreign relations of tho
Islands, as well as to tho conduct of Its
sanitary affairs, ind said that as a mat- f
ter of fact Cuba has already assumed the
attitude of a. ward of the United States.
He also advanced the argument that" in
