VOL. XLV. NO. 13,841. PORTLAND, OBEGON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 1905. PRICE FIVE CENTS. RESIDENT KILLS BEAR MID BOBCAT "Bully Sport," He Says, and Expresses Hopeidt'Wilf Keep Up. COURIER BRINGS OUT WORD Correspondents Swarm About tho Close-Mouthed Mountaineer, but Are Given Little Informa tion of the-Hunt. GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo., April 18. President Roosevelt has killed a bear and a "bobcat. He is satisfied with the hunt for ihe biggest gamo the Rockies afford. If he gets one more bear, or sev eral, he will be better- pleased, but to quote his own words, "I got what I was after. It was bully sport and I hope it! keeps up." This Is the story brought to Secretary Loeb tonight by Elmer Chapman, a cour ier with a close mouth, who was chosen to bear messages between the President and the temporary seat of Goyfrnment at the Hotel Colorado in this city. While he came through Newcastle, where are camped numerous correspond ents of newspapers, he brought his story intact. There was no leakage and all the information obtained at that place was derived from a view of a closely rolled fresh bear skin which Chapman transferred from his saddle to the car at the railway station. Is that all you've got?" he was asked. Isn't that enough?" he replied. TMs was about the substance of the conversation In which Chapman partici pated at Newcastle. He was chosen be cause he knows when not to talk. Be fore starting on his hunt the President eald he did not want any newspaper men to follow him. To the three correspond ents representing press associations who accompanied him from Washington, the President said: "You stick by Loeb and I will help you all I can. I cannot send out a mes senger -every day, but as soon as there Is anything worth telling you shall have it." The courier got through Newcastle without talking and the President made gcod to those who complied with his wishes. But if the courier was reticent at Newcastle, he was different when his journey was at an end, and Secretary Loeb "had removed the injunction of secrecy. His eyes kindled with a fire that told his- admiration for the Presi dent's prowess as a hunter more than could the words at his command. One expression which the hardy mountaineer Injected Into, his story was: "Say, fellows, he's a beaut and no mis take. The way he scents game would make you think he was born in the mountains and had never left them. Say now, "being President don't make any dif ference with a man that's got the real stuff In him. Goff said he was the real thing and did not need showing, but I didn't believe it" It was late when Chapman finished his talk with Secretary Loeb, so the story Is necessarily curtailed. FIRST WORD FJR03I THE CAMP "Lone Courier Hides In With Pelt or a Bear. GLEN SPRINGS, Colo., April 18. The first word from President Roosevelt's hunting camp on the Charley Penny ranch, 23 miles southwest of Newcas tle, reached Secretary Loeb soon after 6 P. M. today. He was notified over the telephone that Elmer Chapman, the courier, selected to bear messages between the President and his secre tary, had arrived at Newcastle dur ing the afternoon, and would take the 9:40 train over the Colorado Midland tor Glenwood Springs. If on time, the train would reach this city at 10 o'clock. Chapman was appointed to the post of courier because of the fact that he is famed for his reticence. It was known that a messenger from the President's camp would have to run the gauntlet of a dozen or more corre spondents who have taken headquar ters at Newcastle. "When Chapman was sighted riding horseback across the bridge Into the village, the correspondents went out to meet him. He proved worthy of his post, and in reply to questions said that if information was wanted of the hunt, the correspondents must get It from Mr. Loeb. Bear Skin on the Saddle. This did not prevent the correspond ents from learning that the President's hunt had been successful, however, for strapped across Chapman's saddle was a fresh bear skin, which was being taken to Glenwood Springs. Chapman admitted that this pelt was the only one that had been taken, but he would not say the animal had been brought down by the President's gun. It was taken for granted that this -was the case, for otherwise it was not probable the skin would have been sent to Glenwood Springs. Representatives of newspapers at Newcastle had to be satisfied with the information given by Chapman, "but they at once prepared to accompany the courier to Mr. Loeb's headquarters, where a full report was expected. It was learned here today that the President's party has not yet moved its camp from the place where it first located. A fresh trail was, found early today, and the hunters took it up be fore Chapman's departure for New castle. Because of the heavy snow east of the camp, it is not likely it will be changed for several days. The Indications are that plenty of sport will be found in the present sur roundings. The courier Is expected to remain here over night, and Secretary Loeb .will accompany,, him. to--Newcastlo...o- morrow. and together they -will ride to the hunting camp. He has a num ber of matters to lay before the Presi dent, and particularly his signature is needed to important documents. First Stirring in Morning. According to Chapman, the President is taking the true sportsman's delight in the rough life of the camp. He is one of the first to be stirring in the morning and al ways the flr;st to sit down to breakfast. The fare seems to suit him, although he has said trveral times he would bo as well pleased If it were less pretentious. "fflf idea of camp life is one kind of meat at each meal, and that fried; vegetables of the canned variety, coffee made over an open fire and the smell of smoke in everything that is cooked. Things are different at Camp Roosevelt, as the boys have dubbed the outfit on the Charley Penny ranch. But the President has been warned that the chef may not be able to do such good work after tho camp is moved, and that the party may get enough canned stuff to please even ihe President. The big white horse which tho Presi dent rode out of Newcastle on Saturday Is his favorite of the three that were taken along for his personal use. It Is not fast, but It is strong, and the trail is never so stony but the President and his steed cover it if any horse can get through. Big Jake Borah, known as the most in trepid bear hunter in the Rockies and the man who will take the most desperate chances on a ride after the dogs, admits that even the mountain guide of many years experience has many things to learn about riding. He says he can teach the President nothing. Chaps for the President. A huge pair of leather breeches has been added to the President's hunting costume. When he left Newcastle on Saturday he wore heavy canvas trousers without leg gins. The nap was taken out of the baggy pants by binding them about the ankles with coarse twine. Now he has adopted the leather breeches, as he has found that they better turn the wind while on a hard ride. The early mornings and afternoons after the sun has sunk behlCd the mountains have been cold. Storms have been numer ous in. tho vicinity of the camp, and far ther up the mountains it has snowed heavily. The thought of starting home apparent ly has not entered the President's head. He eald he intended to enjoy himself as much as possible during his outing, and his companions believe he is doing so. All Intent on the Hunt. If he has had thoughts of affairs at Washington, he has not communicated them to the mountaineers. Business will wait until Secretary Loeb's arrival at camp tomorrow. All of the members of the party, according to the courier, are as mucn in love with the hunt as the President. P. B. Stewart, of Colorado Springs, and Dr. Lambert, who accompanied the party from Washington, are not new at the sport, and are ready for any work the President cuts out for them. The courier says that Dr. Lambert had prepared for numerous accidents, but that he Is con vinced bear hunting Is not as dangerous as wolf chasing. The doctor sent word by Chapman that everybody in the camp Is "disgustingly healthy." MUST HAVE TRIBAL TIES What Indian Children Can Share in Lands. OREGONIAN NEWS .BUREAU, Wash ington, April 18. Indian Commissioner Leupp today promulgated the order de fining what children of Indian parentage are entitled to share In lands and annu ities of various Western tribes.

BREAKS ALL THE RECORDS Minnesota Crosses the Pacific in Very Fast Time. SEATTLE, Wash., April 19. The steam ship Minnesota, of the Great Northern Steamship Company's Seattle-Oriental fleet, and the largest freight carrier afloat, reached port last night, on her return voyage from the Orient, having broken all trans-Pacific records on her trip across. The Minnesota's time from Yokohama was 13 days 21 hours and five minutes. Among her nassengers were a number of Russian officers and their wives being sent home on parole from Shanghai, whither they were taken at the time of the capture of Port Arthur. There were also a number of American army officers coming from Manila, either on leave or under orders to report at Washington, D. C. Altogether the Minnesota brought 162 passengers, 47 of whom were first-class, and a little more than 7000 tons of gen eral freight, of which hemp formed the bulk. Ship "Was Torn to Pieces.

Bruns, an officer of the Russian armored cruiser Rurlk, pounded to pieces at Vladivostok by Japanese shells, and Mrs. Rlstoftseva, a Russian Red Cross nurse who was In Port Arthur through out .the siege.

Mrs. Bisoftseva tells thrilling stories of the fight at Port .Arthur and'of Its .siege and fall. FORCED TO JOIN IN POKED GAME Harriman Is Called East by Big Tumble-in Union Pacific Securities. CALEB'HYDE'S LITTLE JOKE Railroad 3Iagnate Had Refused In vitatlon, but the Equitable Life Owner Swore to Bring Him to the City. NEW YORK, April IS. (Special.) "Caleb Hyde," said a prominent finan cier, discussing the Equitable Life scandal today, "Is a misguided young man. Caleb is the pet name of James Hazen Hyde, and It was given to him by his father, Henry B. Hyde. "We all call him Caleb. He still be lieves the Equitable Life Is a sort of goods and chattel proposition belonging absolutely to him and that he can do whatever he will with things there. "On one occasion, Caleb Hyde thought he would like to have a fancy poker game a game which, like the Louis XV ball, would fasten Itself upon the Imagination of poker players as the greatest ever. He Invited a number of his associates to join in the play where the stakes would run into the many thousands. He wanted E. H. Harriman in the bunch, and he called up the lat ter's office to Bpeak to the railroad manipulator. Harriman Replies Curtly. " "Mr. Harriman Is out West looking over Union Pacific properties," he was told. Caleb Immediately telegraphed to Harriman to hurry East, explaining why he wanted him here. The railroad man replied curtly in the negative, un doubtedly being very much astonished at the Invitation. "Caleb was badly huffed at the curt ness of the reply. "Til bring him East pretty quick? he remarked to a friend. "Next day Union Pacific securities -were being unloaded, on the stock mar ket to beat the band. The street soon learned that the unloading was being done by men in touch with the Equit able. Wall street does not take long to make up its mind on such occasions. Hyde was Harrlman's friend. Hyde's brokers were unloading Union Pacific therefore it was time to get from under. Hurries by Special Train. When Harriman got the news that his stock was going to pieces, he was almost dumb with astonishment. He could not understand it. Something had .to be done and at once. Ho ordered a special train and rushed back to New York as 'fast as steam could carry him. Tt has always been more or less of a mystery how Caleb got into the 'di rectorate of a great railroad, and thereby hangs another tale of frenzied finance and the Illimitable possibilities In great funds handled by reckless young men. He felt he ought to be a airector in the railroad and with Caleb to wish a thing, Is to do It or have It. So he went to the head of the road who, however, could not see the force of the proposition and in his cold, busi ness way. sat upon the young man's as pirations hard. He had reckoned with out his host. "It might have been a mere coinci dence and it might not. Anyhow there was something doing in these securi ties. The powers that were saw a great white light and the financial world soon learned that Caleb Hyde was a director In the most conservative railroad management on the American continent." OPEN FIGHT WITH LETTERS Hyde and Alexander Are Exchang ing Correspondence. NEW YORK, April IS. (Special.) A let ter was given out tonight addressed to President Alexander by James H. Hyde, saying: "I see by the papers that you deny the statement contained In my letter to Mr. Frlck that you participated In the syndicates therein mentioned. If you made this denial please inform me whether you received from me the fol lowing cheques." Here follow details of checks aggre gating $61,447. Samuel Untermyer, one of the counsels for Mr. Hyde, said tonight that Mr. Alexander shared equally with Mr. Hyde in all the syndicate operations conducted under the name of "J. H. Hyde & Asso ciates." "There was nothing wrong or discred itable to either of these gentlemen," said Mr. Untermyer, "In those trans actions and neither of them will, in my opinion, ever be called upon to refund a penny. The only wrong consisted In Mr. Alexander's extraordinary denial, which he Is reported to have made of the fact of his participation." James W. Alexander gave out two let ters tonight which he sent to Henry C. Frlck, chairman of the investigating com mittee, and to James H. Hyde, respective ly. The letter to Mr. Frlck, relating to syndicate profits, says: "I deny that I have ever knowingly participated In the profits of any syn dicate for the purpose of underwriting bonds or securities, of which the society became a purchaser. "Mr. Hyde's statement to the contrary Is Incorrect.' Mr. Alexander submits a letter written to him by Mr. Hyde on March 22, sug gesting their reaching an agreement as to the proper disposition to be made of the syndicate transactions that have been criticised. In this letter Mr. Hyde states that he has drawn a check for 563.223, his share of the syndicate profits, and sent It to the society to be retained or re turned as the board should decide. Mr. Hyde's letter continues: "There is also the matter of the-Cam-bon dinner, the cost of which was thought a proper charge to advertising, following the common custom of other companies concerning such entertainments. There Is no legal liability about It, but as the dinner was given partly in my name I prefer personally to pay Its cost, which was $13,069. I have therefore sent my check for this amount." Mr. Alexander states that under date of March 24 he replied, saying: "You are mistaken In saying that the receipt by you of syndicate participations or profits was a mere continuation of a custom which you found In existence when you came into the society. "As 'to the Cambon dinner, I must ex press my astonishment that It should have been treated as an advertising scheme 'which you supposed would, benefit the .Equitable Society, until rI received your fetter I always understood and believed that the dinner. .was given by yourself and Senator Depew as a personal and social compliment to the French Ambas sador. So thelnvitatlons read, and I per sonally accepted acaj attended, as your guest on that supposition.' How you came to charge this tfllner to the society without the knowledge of the presldenb-fs a subject upon which I ask Information. Mr. Alexander's letter, to to Mr. Hyde dated April IS follows: "Replying to your letter of yesterday, permit me to say that you well knew the disposition I maue of the checks in question, and you have no occasion for addressing an inquiry to me on the sub ject. "I decline to be drawn. Into a dlslngeni ous correspondence with you for the pur pose of covering your position and per verting the facts." Habeas Corpus Is Denied. BOSTON, April IS. The application of Arthur E. Appleyard for a writ of habeas corpus to prevent his extradi tion to New York was denied today by Justlce Morton, of the State Supreme Court.

NOT EXPECTED TO FIGHT Harriman Influences Prevailed Dur ing His Administration, and the One Poor Man Now Has Millions to Spend. '$7 NEW YOttK. April lS.-(Speciai.)-Ex- Governor Benjamin B. Odell, Jr.. will re turn from his wanderings around Europe next month. He went away the recognized leader of his party. He will come back to find a formidable revolt, with which his enemies say he will be unable to cope. Here are the leaders In the antl-Odell crusade: United States Senators Thomas C. Piatt and Chauncey M. Depew. William L. Ward. National committeeman, representing New Tork. Ex-Governor Frank Black, who. with his ally, ex-Insurance Commissioner Louis F. Payh. absolutely controls at least one Con gressional District. William Barnes, chairman of the State Executive Committee. The attitude of Governor Frank Hlg glns Is In doubt. He was a strong Piatt man up to a year or two ago, and al though classed with the Odell forces, has notbcen a violent partisan. Of late hehas been listening to over tures from the Piatt forces. One thing Is very clear, the Governor's affection for Odell Is not so strong that he will Imperil his own political future for the benefit of his predecessor as ex ecutive. Black's Feelings Hurt. The winning over of ex-Governor Black has been greeted with joy by the Piatt men. Heretofore they have been quietly fighting under cover, now they have come out Into the open, and declare that Odell's days as a political factor are over. Black has never forgiven the treatment he received last "Winter, when Odell trotted him out as a candidate for United States Senator, and then, at the last moment, threw him over, and Indorsed Chauncey M. Depew. ' - It hurt Black's feelings so that he de clared he would never have anything more to do with politics, and for a couple of months kept his word. In fact, his principal reason for re-entering the arena Is to get satisfaction on the man who posed as his friend and then humil iated him. ' Governor Higgins is interested In. al lying himself with whichever fabtion can bring about his renomination, and the Piatt people say that he has prac tically decided to cast In his fortunes with them. The defection of Higgins would leave Odell without patronage of any kind and place him In a practically defenseless position. Two Old Stand-Bys. The only out-and-out Odell men nowa days are Senator Raines, leader In the Senate, and his right-hand man. Senator Malby, but the feeling against both of them among the Piatt men Is so bitter that they have nothing left to do but to fight the best they know how. Depew and Piatt, under the rules of Presidential and Senatorial courtesy, will absolutely control the giving out of Na tional patronage in the state, more espe cially because they work In absolute har mony. Governor Higgins Is not paying much attention to Odell nowadays, although a number of his friends are still In office, but he cannot count too much on that, as It is a well-known fact that politicians can give rats pointers in the matter of leaving a sinking ship. Getting: Piatt Converts. National Committeeman "Ward has been actively engaged during the past week or so in gaining converts for Piatt. He -has spent considerable time In Albany of late, and has had numerous conferences with members of the Leg islature, particularly with those from his own county. Congressman John W. Dwight, of Tompkins County, Is associated with him in the movement, and is expected to take a prominent position In the party when the Piatt men have reor ganized it to suit themselves. A number of the men actively asso ciated In the movement to restore Piatt to his old position, have their eyes fixed on the United States Senate, al- L though there will be no new election until 1909, when Piatt s term expires, while Depew Is just beginning his sec ond term. Piatt has stated privately a num ber of times that he will be willing to retire when the time comes to choose his successor. He will then be 76, and although there are men In the body much older than that (for example Pettus, of Ala bama, Aldrich, Morgan and many others) yet Piatt Is convinced that he will be tired of politics within four years. Mrs. Depew "Would Shine. The perennial Depew is now 71 years old, and It would not surprise anybody If he resigned from the Senate before his term was up. Mrs. Depew Is anxious to shine in some Important foreign country as the wife of an Ambassa dor, and President Roosevelt Is a great admirer of the "Peach," as Depew Is affectionately known. Depow gained that name nearly nine years ' ago. during- the first McKlnley campalgn. The "Senator invaded the Bowery at one of the first big Republi can meetings ever held In that section. The chairman of the meeting, a Repub lican Assemblyman (and they are scarce on the Lower East Side) by name Sullivan, and a former baseball umpire. And this Is how he Intro duced the Senator, In a voice that could be heard for blocks: "Gents, do you know who thjs Is? This Is Chaunce Depew, and he's a peach." And the name has stuck to him ever since. Odell No Iionger Poor. Enemies of Odell are using against him. with much effect, the cry that he Is Harrlman's" man. Odell was a poor man when he went Into office as Governor, January 1, 1901, and he Is now said to be worth $3,000, 000. He says he got It by fortunate busi ness Investments, but his foes declare that Harriman put him In the way of making It. and that Harriman has been the recognized manager of the Legisla ture during Odell's absence. They allege that Harriman, through his Odell Influence, has been enabled to block any action by either the Insur ance Commlsloner or the Attorney General Into the Equitable scandal. Both of these office-holders are stanch OJollites, and it is a fact that the insurance department has been con ducting whatever investigation It has made, under cover, which Is Jii3t what Vice-President Hyde's friends want, and the Attorney-General has failed to act in various instances where has powers have been invoked. Odell will find a sad condition of af fairs when he returns. The only ques tion at Issue Is: "Will he quit or fight?" The Piatt men are. betting that he will quit. NOTES HAD STING IN THEM Expurgated Ked Book Made Public by State Departments. WASHINGTON, April IS. Addition al chapters of the "Red Book" for 1904, made public at the State Depart ment today. Includes severely edited and expurgated notes between this Government and Morocco, The Nether lands, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Sal vador. The correspondence with Mo rocco refers entirely to the Perdlcaris incident. the department cautiously refraining from making, public any of the Interesting representations of the American representative of Tan gier regarding the political situation in that country. Following Is the offlqial paraphrase of the famous "Perdlcaris alive or Ralsuli, dead," telegram sent by Sec retary Hay last June, which made the Moroccan government produce Perdl caris when even the presence of war snips had. not availed. Mr. Hay, states that this. Government "wants Perdlcaris alive or Ralsull dead." Further than this the feast possible complications with Morocco or other powers Is desired. Mr. Gum mers is instructed not to arrange for landing marines or seizing custom houses without the Department's spe cific directions. The correspondence shows that The Netherlands government has refused to grant the request of the Washing ton Government that It be allowed to station officers of the United States public health and marine hospitals at the ports of embarkation In The Neth lands to make a medical Inspection of all persons Intending to emigrate to the United States. The reason as signed for the refusal Is that past ex periences have shown that the Ameri can medical officers thus stationed "will assume more authority." OYAMA'S BRAVE ENTRY Intention Was to Impress the Chin ese in Mukden. VICTORIA, B. C., April 18. According to advices received by the steamer Em press of China today, returned Japanese officers describe the Russians as objects of pity In the Tetreat from Mukden. They had discarded their arms and everything likely to Impede them, and for miles the roads were scattered with broken uni forms and equipment, boots, etc. Num bers of sick and wounded were left to die by the roadside. Marshal Oyama's entry Into Mukden was an affair of splendor, arranged to Impress the Chinese. Governor Tseng came out with his retinue to meet the Japanese. The procession of Marshal Oyama was similar to that arranged by General Kodama for the official entry into Taihoku, In Formosa. Cavalry led, then bands of music, guards of honor, then Marshal Oyama and staff, mounted, guards of honor, then Generals of the different armies, and their staffs, foreign military attaches, Chinese attaches and a large force of Infantry. Fifty thousand soldiers lined the route. Details are given by the Japanese of the great bravery of Colonel Murukaml's regiment, which was besieged for several days at the Chinese Imperial tombs north of; Mukden, by tremendously superior Russian forces. For three days the Japanese fought on a scanty ration of biscuit, holding the northern mausoleum against all attacks to dislodge them. The Colonel was killed and all officers save two killed or wounded. Judge Upholds the Ijaw. DENVER, April IS. Judge N. Walter Dixon, In the District Court today, upheld tbq constitutionality of the law of 1S97 relating to building and loan associations, under which President EL M. Johnson and other officers of the defunct Fidelity Sav ings Association have been indicted on charges of making, false reports. The law was attacked by Johnson's attorneys on the ground that the legislative records concerning Its passage were incomplete, a leaf apparently having been torn from the Journal of the House. Notice of an appeal from Judge Dixon's decision was given. Honor for Mrs. Dubois. . WASHINGTON, April 18. Mrs. Fred T.

PORTLAND LEADS III WHEAT EXPORT Officially Recognized as the Principal Shipping Point of United States. SAN FRANCISCO IS SECOND Foreign Trade in the Cereal This Season Has Been Almost En tirely From the Pacific Coast Ports. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, April IS. Portland Is now offi cially recognized as the leading wheat ex p.rtlng city of the United States; In fact, the wheat export trade of the United States Is this season confined almost ex clusively to the ports of the Pacific Coast. The Department of Commerce and Labor, through Its bureau of statistics, accords first place to Portland, on the basis of exports made during the nine months ending with March. 1905. San Francisco ranks second, and Puget Sound third. The Atlantic Coast and Gulf of Mexico have lost almost their entire wheat trade.
