THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1905- MAKE IT THOROUGH President Asked to Broaden Standard Oil Inquiry. OCTOPUS PREPARES DEFENSE Kansas Congressman Urges That Texas Be Included In Government Investigation Standard Will Resist to Utmost. "WASHINGTON', Feb. 20. Rerpresenta ile Campbell, of Kansas, the author of the resolution providing for :tn inquiry Into the operations of the Standard Oil Company, had an extended conference with President Roosevelt today reerafd lr.fr the investigation. He informed tho President he had received from the Bpeaker of the House or the Texas Leg islature a telegram urging him to re quest the President and the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor to extend the proposed inquiry to tho methods of the Standard Oil Company in the Beau nont field of Texas. He also told the President he had received hundreds of lelegrams and letters daily from all isectlons regarding the investigation. The Standard OH Company, Campbell Informed the President, already was preparing its defense, and would resist to tho utmost the Government's investi gation. The resumption by the com pany of the purchase of Kansas oil, he Eald, undoubtedly was decided upon in view of the action taken by the House of Representatives in requiring an in vestigation. It would not surprise him, either, if the price of the crude oil should be advanced gradually on ac count of the present agitation. The President will have a conference coon with James R. Garfield, Commis- loner of Corporations, who will direct the inquiry. At that conference a gen eral plan of procedure in the inquiry will be mapped out. President Roosevelt assured Mr. Campbell that all of the power of his administration necessary would be used In the investigation he is undertaking through the Bureau of Corporations Into the affairs ojt the Standard Oil Company, to the end that the small producer, dealer and consumer alike Bhall have fair treatment;-and at the same time no injustice shall be done the Standard Oil Company, or any other concern. "The President realizes," said Mr. Campbell, "that this is the most impor tant investigation, of the kind which has been undertaken, and he is going Into it with the determination that It shall be as thorough and successful as the machinery of the Government can make 1L He wants nothing but exact Justice and fair play, cut is determined .to have both." TWO MORE OIL BILLS TO PASS Kansas May Also Order Investigation and Annulment of Lease. TOPEKA, Kan.. Feb. 20. On account of a small attendance of members, the Kansas House today deferred consider ation of the anti-discrimination bilj un til next Friday. The Holdren bill, pro hibiting the pumping of gas, will be considered by the Senate this week. -It Is conceded that these bills will pass ami this will end the battle for the oil produoers, so far a3 legislation is con cerned. The anti-discrimination bill is de signed to prevent tho Standard Oil Company from underselling the state In any one locality unless the rate there Fhould be the rate throughout the state, and its friends asserted that it would undoubtedly be passed and be come a law. The fact that the Judiciary commit tee of the House was not ready to re port is one reason why the bill went over, and another is that the House desires to find out what action the, Senate will take on its railroad bill. There is a growing feeling between the two branches that may result In trouble. Kansas may make an independent in vestigation of the Standard Oil Com pany's operations in this state. The Legislature may also make demands of Congress regarding Indian Territory oil leases. Senator F. Dumont Smith has pre pared a resolution providing for the appointment by the Legislature of a committee to investigate the charges filed with the Commissioner of Corpo rations at "Washington by the repre sentatives of the Kansas Oil-Producers' Association. Tho leaders in the Legis lature have planned also, it Is said, to demand of the Kansas delegation in Congress that the Foster lease on the Oswego reservation in Indian Territory be annulled, on the ground that it is the intention of the Standard Oil Com pany to discriminate against the Kan Fas field by securing all the oil It -needs from this territory.

Corner Sixth and Morrison 1500 Pianos ATTACKED BY IRISH Balfour's Government Meets New Danger. FLIRTED WITH HOME RULE Redmond Leads Vigorous Attack, and Wyndham Explains Mac Donnell's Devolution Scheme, Which Was Disapproved. LONDON. Feb. 20. in moving as an amendment to the address in reply to the speech from the throne, the declaration that "the present system of government (of Ireland) Is opposed to the will of the Irish people," John E. Redmond led the Irish party in the House of Commons to day in an attack that contained for tho Conservative Ministry more of menace than lay in the fiscal debate Hast week. The Redmond amendment was carefully calculated to undermine the government's majolty. The debate drew crowded gal leries, and peers especially were noted, among them the Duke of Abercorn. It was generally believed that tho debate would bring out a sensational scene, but anything of this character was lacking. Mr. Redmond's speech was an uncom promising demand for home rule. It was necessary, he said, to emphasize the fact that tho Nationalists were irrevocably committed to home rule, because there was an attempt to limit the decision at the coming election, and to smother the issue. The present system was ruinously extravagant and Inefficient, and was dis trusted even by the Unionists. Ireland, he declared, "Is governed by a bureau cracy more devoid of responsibility than the bureaucracy of Russia, which Eng land is so fond of denouncing."- Armed revolt would be justified, if a chance of success existed. Both Mr. Redmond and 'Mr.' Moore (Irish Unionist), who followed, made, a special point of what they termed the '"shameful treatment" of Sir Anthony MacDonnell in connection with the differences in the Ministry over the devolution scheme. Mr. Wyndham delivered a straightfor ward explanation of how those unfortu nate misunderstandings arose. He said he had given McDonnell a free hand to deal with the situation. He knew that Mac Donnell and Lord Dunravcn had been considering a reform scheme, but he did not know all the terms of their plan. Mr. Wyndham said: "I had often discussed reforms with MacDonnell, who found analogies between my Ideas and ideas he had formed in India. Here we came to the first source of serious misunderstanding. I, with Ig norance of Indian affairs, did not know that a semi-elective council exists in In dia, and therefore it never occurred to me that he had in mind any board par tially elected as- part of the reforms' of which I approved. If I had thought he had any such idea, I would have told him that it was, in my judgment, quite Impracticable." Mr. Wyndham said the Cabinet never had doubted MacDonncll's loyalty, but simply had recorded itself as not approv ing the action of an under-secretary who had approved of a scheme without first submitting it to his chief. The night session was taken up by T. W. RuBsell, Winston Churchill and oth ers, who bitterly assailed the govern ment's management of Irish affairs. A special meeting of tho Cabinet has been summoned 'for tomorrow to discuss the situation. BALFOUR CABINET IS SHAKY MacDonnell Affair May Cause Resig nation of Lansdowne and Dudley. LONDON, Feb. 21. Until after today's meeting of the Cabinet probably nothing will be known definitely as to the out come of the MacDonnell Incident. In spite of denial, there is a strong Impres sion that the crisis will not end without ' some modification of the Cabinet. Sec retary Wyndham's speech Is admitted by his own newspaper supporters this morn ing to have been rather a weak perform ance, and throughout Jie appeared very uncomfortable, especially when Winston Churchill put to him the awkward ques tion why. Jf Sir Anthony MacDonnell were reproved, the Viceroy escaped re- ' proof. Lord Hugh Cecil to sonic extent saved the situation by following Mr. Wyndham with a witty speech frankly supporting the government, declaring home rule to be as dead as the dodo and. while advls- Irirr TfloYl Tinlnnlcln tr. nntlnn. .wtn t I Ing the whole mater as one of Utile I consequence. I In the course of his speech. Mr. Wynd- ham intimated that when he Invited Sir ! Anthony MacDonnell to become, under i secretary to the Lord-Llcutenant of lre ! land, there was a correspondence between them embodying a previous conversation on the proposed manner of dealing with Irish problems, including (I) maintenance of order, (2) a land bill, (3) education and (4) co-ordination in the direction and con trol of detached boards. It is understood that MacDonnell will now publish the correspondence. The Prince of Wales was an interested flstener to Mr. Wyndham's speech. It is still believed In many quarters that the Earl of Dudley's resignation as Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland has merely been postponed or that Premier Balfour j nas reiuseu 10 accept u. .wiouicr rumor t Is that Foreign Minister Lansdowne has threatened to resign If the Ministers make Sir Anthony MacDonnell a scapegoat. According to the Times' this morning, the Earl of Dudley has tendered his res ignation and the Cabinet has been sum moned to consider the resignation. The Times says it- is the belief that MacDon ncll's resignation will promptly follow. Willing to Be Premier. LONDONt Feb. 2L Earl Spencer, in the 1500 Pianos 1500 Pianos course of a speech in London last night, referred to rumors that he would be the next Liberal. Premier. He j?ald he had not sought, did not expect, - and did not wish such a high honor, but that, it called upon, it would only be with a stern sense of the duty to be done that he would accept such a responsible position. COMMITTEE TO REPORT FACTS North Sea Commission Divided on Justification of Russia. PARIS. Feb. 20. Admiral Baron von Spaun (Austro-Hungary) and Rear-Admiral Charles H. Davis (United States) have been designated to draw up the re port of the International Commission ot Inquiry Into the North Sea Incident. This will be presented in secret session Wednesday for discussion and final ap proval. The Austrian and American Ad mirals were chosen as representing the elements of the commission which are en tirely neutral. Admirals von Spaun and Davis held a session yesterday and met twice today. The main work is to fulfill the require ment of the protocol that the commission report all the circumstances of the Inci dent. The full board of Admirals reserves final determination of the main questions until after the presentation of Admlrat von Spaun and Admiral Davis recital or tho circumstances. There seems to be a definite inclination on the part of a majority of the com mission toward partially justifying or ex cusing Admiral Rojestvensky's action. It Is gonerally believed in well-informed quarters that the Russian, French and Austrian Admirals Incline to the fore going view, while the British and Ameri can Admirals are considered favorable to the British view that no torpedo-boats were present and that therefore there was no justification for firing. However, the board apparently is seeking to recon cile differences, so that the decision may not be a pronounced victory for either side, but measurably acceptable tb both. Court Decides Against Stephanie. BRUSSELS. Feb. 20. The Appeal Court today gave judgment In favor of King Leopold in the protracted lawsut Institut ed by his daughter, the Princess Steph anie (Countess Lonyay), and the creditors of Princess Louise of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, claiming that they were entitled under the Belgian law to half the prop erty of the late Queen Marie Hcnriette and to half the King's property on the. death of the Queen.
