HENEY EXPECTS HIM TO STAY Interview of Fulton and Baker With President Disposes of Rumors Heney Refuses to Dis cuss the Affair. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. March 8. It now appears that United States Marshal Matthews will be continued in office throughout the trial of the land-fraud cases. Humors that were afloat last week and indications that were apparent on sei'eral days strongly pointing to his removal are no longer in evidence. Harmony appears to have been restored, and Matthews is saved. Senator Fulton and Chairman Frank Baker called on the President this morn ing with John Fox. of Astoria. During their conversation the President asked if there was anthlng he could do for Mr. Baker, but was promptly -assured both by Mr. Baker himself and by Mr. Fulton that the Oregon chairman was in no wise a candidate for any position. The subject of Mr. Matthews was brought up and, while no positive .assur ances were given, both Mr. Fulton and Mr. Baker feel satisfied that the case has been dropped and that no official no tice -will be taken of the charges that were recently brought against Mr. Matthews. District Attorney Heney was asked if be looked for Mr. Matthews' removal. He replied that he did not. Asked if he had personally preferred charges against Mr. Matthews, he replied: "I decline to answer." Apparently Mr. Heney agrees with other interested parties that the Matthews incident has been closed by the President Mr. Baker and Secretary Elmer Dover, of the.. Republican National committee, leave tomorrow for a trip through the South and to Cuba. Place Wanted for Cavanaugh. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 8.

HOUSE SUPPORTS GOVERNMENT Churchill Leads Final Effort on the Fiscal Question. LONDON. March S. Winston Churchill led the flght that was prob ably the last full-dress debate of the session on the fiscal question in the House of Commons. The debate was on a resolution declaring that In the opin ion of the House permanent unity of the British Empire could not be se cured through a system of preferential duties based on protective taxation on food. The galleries were crowded and there were few empty places in the House, Mr. Churchill's motion being re- carded as the most serious attack on the government majority since the opening of Parliament. It was aimed to force the Unionist Freefooders into the opposition lobby and divide the House, not upon party lines, but upon the Chamberlain fiscal policy. From the outset the motion was doomed to defeat, and avowedly the opposition had no expectation of do feating the government. It was s political move, intended to demonstrate to the country the strength of Mr. Chamberlain's following. Mr. Churchill spoke at considerable length, directing himself exclusively to Mr. Chamberlain's fiscal policy. In fact. in tho course of the speech he an nounccd he was not attacking the gov ernment, but was aiming the entire force of his blow at Chamberlain. Mr. Chamberlain said he had been twitted with lack of moral courage be cause he had not submitted his fiscal proposals for discussion by the House, but he hated useless oiscusslon. His was a legitimate party maneuver to put out the government. He was surprised that any "Unionist Freefood fish should be caught In the net." Mr. Chamberlain, in the course of his speech, Bald it the representatives of the colonios put forward unreasonable demands at the conference, he, him self, would not support them. Premier Balfour sala he was unalter ably attached to tho principles of free trade and would never bo responsible for a. protective policy. He desired. however, that a perfectly free confer ence should, bo held on colonial rela tions. He said that the carrying- of tho Churchill motion would create a false tmprcsslon In the country and the col onics. Mr. Balfour insisted that the motion was not an attack on Mr. Chamberlain, but on the government. The House divided and Mr. Lyttle ton's motion of the previous question was carried. 302 to 260, thus defeating Mr. Churchill's resolution. The result was greeted -with loud cheers by the Ministerialists. lord George Hamilton. Sir John Gorst, Thomas G. BQwles and other Unionists voted against the govern men. Several Unionists, including Lord Hugh Cecil, abstained from voting. The Irish Nationalists voted -with the opposition. The government had practically the unanimous support or the Chamber lalnites. and the Ministers profess themselves as being more than satis fled with the result of the division, such a large majority not having been expected.
