' 'Me t . Denounces Qhlnese Exclusion,
KavIg&IontXaws and Some Fal

PRESTON. Minn., Sept. 20. James J.
Mill, president of the Great Northern
Railroad, addrossod the farmers of South
era Minnesota, who assembled at the FI11
rawe Counts Fair hero today. After se
verely condemning graft In public and pri
vate life. Mr. IJIll said:
Turmaln needs am an adequate market
i which your produce may be raid at a fair
jvrle and an eppertunlty to purchase those
tMags which you ' need and which the farm
floes not -nippl-. Am far as your grain is
concerned, you tnuxt sell in the markets of
the world. Tfle tariff wilt not help you, al
tfcewgh your politicians may say you are
protected and thereby helped, but you knew
beater. There is one way, however, in which
may be helped, and that is by lessening
Ike cost of transportation.
Distance Tariff IVould Kcsult
It is an easy prophecy, because it le a
iMuoaess fact, that railroad rates in this
country would decline more slowly under gov
ernmental eontrei than if fixed by tfcoe who
MttetMKONUy managed railways. No public
bods wotrtd dare make reductions m sweeping
as tbooe that have been made voluntarily by
iattwaj-9.
The eovemntont cannot discriminate between
ports or places. The Government must be
impartial. Therefore, it -would seenor or
later be obliged to ordain a distance tariff.
The lew charge for the Ions haal would dis
appear, 'and ou farmers here In illnneoota,
wipld he the most heavily tariffed people
In the world.

Nr. Hill touched on the Orient as the
future market of the wheat-produclrig
stalee of the United States. He observed
that the Panama Canal, while it might
be a worthy project, was an expensive
toy. but one that this groat country could
afford. He denied the argument that any
great benefit would accrue to the people
from it. Again referring to Oriental trade,
Mr. HUI said:
By oae policy- we have angered and insulted
a aatton of 400,000.000 people, all prospective
CHotomora, so that, though singularly pationt
b nature, they have gone to almost a national
determination not to admit our products to
their markets. By another policy we have
mode It almost impossible to control the
earrytag trade to the Orient, for lack of
wWcfc our foreign oommoree languishes in
every quarter of the globe.
Fallacy of Protectionists.
In dosing. Mr. Hill said:
TWs fallacy that the United States is
getting control of the market of the world
needs to he rtwdled and honestly answered.
Because or Mghly protected manufacturers
are able, by reason of the high prices they
eharge jwi. to send a certain portion of thoir
output abroad and sell it for half what
ytm pay, we are not conquering the eom
morelat worM.

Roosevelt, Root, Lodge and
Chdate in Conference.
MESSAGE BEING PREPARED
President and Chief Advisers Dis
cuss Recommendations on In
surance Question and For
eign Relations.
OYSTER BAY", SepL 20. A confer
ence of Importance was held tonight at
Sagamore HUI, the participants being
President Roosevelt, Ellhu Root, Sec
retary of State; Henry Cabot Lodge,
United States Senator from Massachu
setts, and Joseph H. Choate, ex-Ambas-
fdor to Great Britain.
While it Is a particular subject of
great concern to the country which
was under consideration, the nature of
it was not disclosed officially tonight,
and the opportunity was embraced by
the President to discuss with his visi
tors some matters relating to tho for
eign relations of America. This was
the first suitable opportunity the Presi
dent has had to talk with Mr. Root
since he assumed his duties as Secre
tary of State. Only recently the Secre
tary returned from a trip to Labrador,
and since has been completing arrange
ments for assuming actively his duties.
In response to Inquiries, Mr. Root
said he expected to go to Washington
about October 1, and until then would
not undertake to fully fulfill the duties
of office. He did not care to dis
cuss the object of his visit to tho Presi
dent at this time, further than to say
they probably would "talk over a good
many things."
Neither Mr. Lodge nor Mr. Choate
was more communicative.
It is not unlikely that among other
topics, the recent developments In the
conduct of the life insurance compa
nies received an Important share of at
tention at the conference. All of the
visitors are more or less familiar with
the insurance situation, and, as the
Presldont expects to take up that sub
ject in his forthcoming annual message
to Congress, in the preparation of
which he Is now engaged. It is natural
that he should wish to consult his close
friends and advisers about the matter.
All three visitors will remain as
guosts of. the Prosldent and Mrs.
Roosevelt until tomorrow.

UNCLE SAM WANTS M'LEftN
ARRESTED AT VICTORIA BY RE
QUEST OF CONSUL.
Crew of Carmenclta Band of Cut
Throats Captain Dodger of
Navigation Law.
WASHINGTON, SepL 20. Captain Alex
McLean was arrested Monday at Victoria,
B. C, by Canadian authorities at the re
quest of the American Consul, acting for
the Department of Justice, under an In
dictment obtained more than a year ago
at San Francisco on a charge of conspir
acy In fitting out the schooner Carmen
clta. In violation of the sealing laws. A
telegram received at the State Depart
ment today announcing the arrest says
that the Carmenclta had been refitted un
der the name or the Acapulco, of alleged
Mexican register, and with a crew made
up of men said to be as "choice a band
of robbers and cut-throats as has
manned a pirate craft since the days of
Captain KIdd."
The search for McLean has proceeded
since May. 15CL His movements have
been known a greater part of this time,
but his course In his pelagic sealing
cruises has been conducted so cleverly
and with so sharp an observance of the
letter of the law that it is said he has
made these very technicalities cover his
alleged evasions of the law. For example,
he always has been careful not to be
found within the three-mile limit of the
sealing preserves, and although an Ameri
can, carrying In large part an -English
crew, he has not been registered undo,
either American or British laws. On that
account the reciprocal arrangement be
tween these countries for the protection
of the scaling Industry has not applied.
He has operated under both Mexican and
Norwegian registration, and apparently
has been successful in retaining one or
the other, despite the fact that he for
feited Mexican papers at least once.
The schooner sailed from San Francisco
In September. ISM. for a cove on the
coast of California, where sealing appa
ratus had been shipped from time to
time, and there fitted out completely.
From thvovo the schooner took to the
high seaa and several times was seen In
the vicinity of the Pribyloff Islands, but
never within the limit of the preserves.
On August 16 of that year the British
cruiser Sherwater found the schooner
Carmenclta Just off the three-mile limit of
SL Paul Island and boarded her. The fact
that the ship flew the Mexican flag pre
vented arrests at that time.
About a fortnight before this the Car
menclta made a raid on the Copper Isl
ands, and had a brush with the Russian
patrol. At least one of the crew , was
wounded and he was sent to Seattle for
treatmenL '
When the facts concerning the raid be
came known, the Mexican government re
pudiated the registry and the Carmenclta
flew for a time the Norwegian flag. It Is
understood the schooner changed names
several times In order to preserve regis
tration, and that Anally under the name
Acapulco Mexican registration was again
secured.

ACCUSES DH. HER
Mrs. Hidden Reaffirms Charges
of Betrayal of Trust.
PRODUCES HIS LETTERS
Declares That Just Before Leaving
for Everett, Dr. Radcr Said He
"Would Do All He Could
for Her There.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. SepL 2a (To the
Editor.) In reply to the denial of Dr.
Rader In the morning's paper. I would
say It may be an outrage on the good old
word "confidence," which means so much,
to apply it in this case, still I must con
fess that I had confidence In Dr. Rader
from the fact that he was introduced to
me by an old friend and minister, as one
In whom I could have confidence, and In
whom I could rely at this time of trouble.
Dr. Rader may not have considered tho
interviews I had with him, when I ex
plained all the facts of my trial to him,
as confidential; but he assumed the atti
tude of a confidential friend, and advised
me In every particular Just the same as
one. He not only conferred with mo for
hours over my affairs, but also with my
counsel, who gave him his confidence also.
None of my friends expressed them
selves more vigorously than he In condem
nation of the whole proceedings In connec
tion wltn my trial, especially In regard to
the fact that Elliott selected the Jury.
At one time. In speaking of Dr. Landen's
ruling that I should pay the expenses of
the stenographer, when the court had
ruled that the church must do this, he
(Dr. Bader) said: "If Landen does not get
onto himself he will lose his official head.
He ought to study his discipline. The
bishop will never stand such work."
Before Rev. F. L. Young and 'myself,
he said. In speaking of the appeal: "If
you do not gain your case In the appellant
court, I will go up and fight It out with
you lri conference."
Quotes Dr. Rader.
When I expressed regret at the possible
outcome of Dr. Landen's many legal blun-.
ders (as I then thought them), Dr. Rader
said: "It would be all right. If a mail
could or would make such rulings he was
not fit to be a presiding elder"; and again,
after he heard of the verdict of the appel
lant court, he said: "I cannot understand
this." When I suggested that the jury
had been coached; that probably the elder
Instructed the triers, as he had Instructed
Temple. Dr. Rader said: "It looked like
thaL for they could not bring In such a
verdict on that testimony of the trial,"
and added: "I hate to think the things I
am compelled to about Landen." Again,
when I told him of Dr. Landen's rulings,
and we were discussing the hardship
which his many postponements of the ap
peal had caused to myself and family. Dr.
Rader said: "He has laid himself liable to
a damage suit."
No one knewbetter than Dr. Rader
what this trial had cost me. and what I
and my family have suffered In conse
quence, because, outside of my counsel, I
have not conferred with any one else. I
thought he was a wise and good man.
Maybe he does not consider his action
In defending Dr. Landen at Everett a be
trayal of confidence. I do consider It so.
and worse a betrayal of truth, of the
Master for nothing. In my eyes, could be
more perfidious than to express a belief
In the truth and justice of a course, and
then go out and help defeat It, and that Is
Just precisely what I think Dr. D. L.
Rader did.
Trial a Disgrace.
Dr. Landen's trial, so-called. Is a dis
grace to Methodism. What manner of
men could that committee be composed
of who would exonerate a presiding elder
guilty of such an offense as the preven
tion of a member of the church securing
a fair trial, which Dr. Landen confessed
he did by helping Elliott select the Jury,
and Instructing his subordinates to lines
of action regardless of law or justice! I
leave this matter to the judgment of hon
est Christian men and women, and will
only add the following extracts from let
ters received from Dr. Rader. which will
tell their own story, and reveal to the
public whether there has been any be
trayal of confidence or not:
Portland. Auir. 3, 1003. Mrs. M. L. T. Hid

fully your mind and situation.
As I understand it, you have a right now
to an appeal as provided In paragraph 273,
Discipline. Tou will see that these triers are
to be selected from various charges. The ex
penses ot the members of the appellate court
and of (he judge will be borne by the church.
I think you should C once secure an at
torney who l thoroughly familiar with our
law and will be able to conduct the case In
the best way possible.

"Do Not Be Unprepared."
Again. Portland. August S, 1S05:
Your letter of the 4th came yesterday morn
ing and Its contents carefully noted. Now
may I give a Uttle advice. As it appears that
Dr. Landen will not call the court for awhile,
I recommend that you ask Dr. Williams to
co-operate with Mr. Young In -this matter. I
think Brother Landen will call this before
September 1, and you should have your case
In good shape when It la called, and, there
fore. I think you would better glvo your at
tention to this at once, as you do not want
to be unprepared when the time shall come.
(Signed) DANIEL L. RADER.
Again. Portland August 12. 1S05:
Tour letter of Thursday Is at hand. I think
I fully appreciate the gravity cf your situs,
iton. and would be very greatly pleased if It
were possible for me to take your case and
carry it through the appellate courL But I
should be at the Montana Conference at Dil
lon next Wednesday morning, and by the
10th reach Baker City, the seat of the Idaho
Conference. But for these facts I should have
myself volunteered to have taken your case
when you were Ijt. my office last week. I am
rure you can seo now it is utterly Impossible
for me to conform to jour request under the
circumstances. Now I suggest that you either
get Dr. Williams or Dr. Ford, of Sunnystde.
to assist Brother Toung la conducting your
case.
Some way I feel, my sister, that if you do
your part you will have .no trouble In carry
ing this case and have it thrown out ot court,
though, of course, no one can tell until the
cee Is through what points may be In
volved," etc
(Signed). DANIEL L. RADER.
'The last thing Dr. Rader Bald to me. a
few hours before leaving for EveretL was
that he would "Do all he could for me
there."
I think that every honest reader of this
article will see plainly that all through
these proceedings, from the selection of
the Jury, the refusal to allow me a prompt
appeal, the disgraceful refusal to allow an
Investigation of the charges against El
liott, and the exoneration of Landen from,
the gravest offenses against the laws of
the church and of God are all a part of a
combination of evil which no one could
stand agalnsL
Thank God, there is a- higher court ot
Justice than can be found in any earthly
conference, to which' this must come. I
