THEIR FATE SEALED
Bridges and Booth of Roseburg
Will Be Removed.
STRONG EVIDENCE IS FOUND
Result of Searching Investigation of
Land Office Hitchcock Will
Choose Successors, but Ful
ton Will-Make Protest.
OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March 14. Secretary Hitchcock
Is still atter the scalps of Register Jo
seph T. Bridges and Receiver James L
Booth of the Hoseburg- Land Office, and.
this time he will get them. Bridges
and Booth have been suspended for sev
eral months because of irregularities
found in their office by Inspector
Greene. Since their suspension thg
Boseburg Land Office has virtually been
closed, and there has been a cessation
of all land business.
Ever since Bridges and Booth were
suspended various agents of the In
terior Department nave been making a
sweeping investigation to find evidence
which will warrant their removal, and
euch evidence they have secured. In
deed it is strongly hinted that Bridges
and Booth may be indicted when the
Federal grand Jury reassembles In Port"
land in April, though District Attorney
Heney denies this report.
At any rate. Secretary Hltchock is
satisfied that be has evidence enough to
convince the President that Bridges and
Booth must go, and, having that in
formation he is diligently searching
for two more to appoint as their suc
cessors. He has not asked Senator
Fulton to recommend men for this of
fice, but is looking around on his own
responsibility and, when he flnd3 two
men who meet his requirements and
Whom ho can trust, he will ask tho
President to dismiss Bridges and Booth
and appoint in their stead men of his
selection.
If this plan is carried out and Mr.
Fulton Is not consulted there will be a
renewal of friction between Mr. Hitch
cock and the Senator. Land officers
have to be confirmed by the Senate and
.moreover Mr. Fulton has the President's
assurance that no appointments will be
made in Oregon until he has been con
sulted. If men of Mr. Hitchcock's selec
tion should be appointed they will en
counter difficulty when their nomina
tions are sent to the Senate. The in
dications are, however, that Bridges
and Booth will not be dismissed until
after the Senate adjourns, and then
the President will be asked to mako re
cess appointments, which will not come
up for confirmation until next Winter.
Secretary Hitchcock is planning to
have the change made in this way so
as to make sure of his men. Senator
Fulton declares that any men appointed
to the Roseburg Land Office solely on
Mr. Hitchcock's recommendation will
never be confirmed.

He directed a particularly bitter at

FULL ACCORD WITH HAY
Through an Intimate Friend, He
Says, Rumors of Friction Ema
nate From Enemies of
tho President.
CHICAGO. March 14. (Special.)
Charles .B. Loomis, Assistant Secretary of
State of the United States, passed
through Chicago today on the way to his
ranch in the San Joaquin Valley of Cali
fornia. He will spend several weeks on
the Pacific Coast. Ha declined to dis
cuss the dispatches as to alleged friction
between him. Secretary Hay and Presi
dent Roosevelt over the Santo Domingo
protocol, but an intimate friend of his
said:
"There is not the slightest friction be
tween the President. Secretary Hay and
Mr. Loomis over the Santo Domingo
protocol. Mr. Loomis not only has not
been asked to resign, but has no Inten
tion of resigning and most cordial rela
tions exist between him. tho Secretary
and the Chief Executive.
"Secretary Hay made it plain In a pub
lished interview last week that the Gov
ernment bad acted advisedly In the Do
mingo case. The statement of January
22, which was given out through Mr.
Loomis, was submitted to Secretary Hay
before it was given publicity and also to
President Roosevelt, who entirely ap
proved It and requested that It be imme
diately given out.
"The stories set afloat as to friction
existing really emanate from the desire
of Interests hostile to the President to
'put a crimp' in him and his policies. It
may be unqualifiedly denied that there Is
any lack of harmony between Secretary
Hay and Mr. Loomis."

total appropriation for these ships was
$330,000 in each case, but it "became ap

money would be required because of gen

Therefore a deficiency estimate was
submitted, which Congress probably by
an oversight neglected to grant. The ves

as the post In Brazil has been elevated

Mr. Thompson Is understood to bo well

him.

TALKS OF ELECTRIC ROADS
G. B. Heneoen Thinks They Will
Some Day Build Up the State.
G. H. Henegen, of New York, a prom
inent banker of that city and one- of
the principal owners of the Coos Bay,
Roseburg & Eastern Railway, was at
tho Portland for a short time yesterda?.
Mr. Henegen has just returned from a
visit to his properties on the Coast and
is returning to his home at New York.
He has much to say concerning what
he has seen, but little abouC what he
has done In that district in and around
Marshfleld.
"There have been many rumors and
stories to the effect that tho littlo road
Is to be extended through Eastern Ore
gon, over the mountains, and I do not
know where it Is not destined to find
Its way. In the papers, but I myself
know nothing of such things. There is
possibility that some Improvement
and perhaps some little extension may
be made to the line, but there is no
foundation for the report that it is to
be built across the mountains."
"It Is rumored among other things
that you are here in the Interests of
some of the capitalists who are sup
posed to bo planning to gridiron the
state, or a portion of. it, with olectrlo
railways," it was stated to the visitor.
"I am connected with none of them,
was the answer. "Several propositions
have been made to me, but so far I
have not done anything with any of
them. Some of them are nothing but
paper roads and there is no money back
of them.
"The proposed road in the southern
or southwestern part of the state, in
which 'Josephine Smith' is supposed to
be interested, does not exist any place
but on paper, anTI do not think It will
for some time. I do not think tnere Is
any money back of those who arj mak
ing tho talk, and I believe that It is
made In par.t to force the hands of tho
Southern Pacific in some matters
wanted to be brought to pass in South
ern Oregon."
"There is nothing, so far as I can
find, back of the road projected from
Eugene to Salem." continued the speak
er, "and I think that tne project is
dead. I do believe that the plan to
build from Portland to Salem has some
life and will in time be carried out. I.
W. Anderson, of Tacoma, Is back of
that deal, and he Is also interested In
many projects in Eastern Oregon and
Southwestern Washington. I think
that ha will have something to say in
the future electric development of the
state.
'In .my opinion." concluded the
speaker, "the electric road will be the
one which will work the improvement
of this state in the next five years.
There will be many such roads built
throughout the valleys of the state.
The district Is blessed with abundant
power for the manufacture of electric
ity and the operating expenses of such
roads will be so much less than steam
lines that tnese will be the ones which
will be constructed to handle tho busi
ness which is demanding transportation."
Mr. Henegen will leave in a day or
so for his homo in New York.
