OU12GONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. March 27. According to unoffi
Sal Information gathered at the White
House today. President Roosevelt Is very
Mch in doubt as to what course to pur
jie In rosard to District Attorney Bristol.
.Attorney-General Moody is standing by
Ms recommendation, made some time ago.
that Mr. Bristol bo removed; Francis J.
HHey is insisting that there is no
ground upon which to dismiss Mr. Bristol.
Thnse two advisers of the President do
tH agree as to the meaning of Mr. Bris
Ts !rtr to rhr Coos Bay Land & Im-
lrov-tscnt Company. According to Mr.
Moody's into, .station. Mr. Bristol was
attempting ojctortlon atid was seeking to
reprosont both parties to a business
transaction: according to Mr. Heney, Mr.
Hrfcuol was merely representing the land
company and was attempting to procure
merely a fatr compensation for his ser
vices. Mr. Honey has been to tho White
House several times recently to Insist
that Mr. Bristol's name be again sent to
thr Senate, and Mr. Moody, whenever
nsiltod. has reiterated his belief that
Mr. Bristol should' be let out.
Urlstol Could Not Be Confirmed.
Moan wlille Senator Fulton is taking no
lrt whatever in the controversy. There
Is wrap talk that the matter may be com
promised, for the President finds himself
In am onibarrnsslng position. To let Mr.
ltrtotl out Is to offend Mr. Heney; to
icidlH hint Is to overrule his Attorncy
tjrworwl. Itwt there are two other factors which
tie President has In mind. Whether Mr.
rsul be guilty or Innocent, the pub
licity given his case has brought sus
picion upon him, .which would be apt to
Impair his usefulness, should ho he re
HptHtintcd. Furthermore, the President Is
wre that, had he not withdrawn Mr.
Bristol's nomination when he did, the
Senate committee on judiciary would have
imported it adversely, thus making con
firmation impossible. The members of
that committee were satisfied, after read
ing Mr. Bristol's letter and the letter
from Secretary Maxwell, that Mr. Bristol
shottld not be confirmed as District At
torney. There Is no indication that the
mmittee would change Its views if Mr.
Bristol's nomination was again sent in.
Let Hcncy Name Successor.
The compromise talked of Is tp allow
Mr. Heney to recommend a successor to
Mr. Bristol. This would enable the Pres
ident to follow the advice of his Attor
ns -General and yet express his continued
ronfidence in Mr. Heney. The latter pre-
icrs to nave -Mr. urlstol retained, but, if
this cannot be done, ho will turn his ef
forts to the second proposition and urge
the President to allow him to name a
District Attorney.
Mr. Honey is extremely anxious that
'Senator Fulton should not fill this office
and it is reported he is arguing that a
Fulton appointee would not take as vig
orous a stand in the land fraud cases yet
to be tried as would a man of his own
selection. Mr. Heney, however, has no
intention of resigning his commission as
special prosecutor in these cases.
Prossnrc Becomes Intense.
The fight on Mr. Bristol waa never more
intense than it is today. It is strlctlv a
fight between Mr. Moody and Mr. Heney
wnd it is now up to the President to de
cide between them. B has not intimated
what his decision will be, but Jt is learned
on good authority that where he recently
seemed convinced that Mr. Moody was
Tight, he now hesitates and shows signs
or having been much Impressed by Mr.
Hcney's arguments. rt would not be
surprising if the case were disposed f
within a short time, for the pressure on
the While House is becoming intense.

still occupying- totally opposite stand
points relative to police inspcotlon. Mr.
White, seeing; the danger of disagree"-'
mcnt, took the Initiative In an attempt
to save the situation. He and his col
leagues drew up a fresh scheme, laying-
down tho proposition that the in
spector shall report simultaneously to
both the Sultan and the diplomatic
corps at Tangier, the latter having- au
thority to order Inquiries Into tho
working- of the Franco-Spanish police
scheme, thus guaranteeing- the carry

matic corps, after informing- the Sul
tan, may at any time also order tho in
spector to Inquire and report, should
any Interested government present
complaint. .
Acceptable to All Powers.
Before presenting this plan to the
conference, Mr. iWhlte approached the
principal delegates. The British, Italian
and Russian delegates unhesitatingly
approved the proposal and promised it
their fullest support- Mr. White then
conferred successively with tho French
and German delegates, who agreed as
to the practicability of the idea and
consented to submit the schemo to
their respective governments, whose
concurrence they considered to be vir
tually certain.
In the meantime the committee In
corporated the scheme In Its proposi
tion for presentation to the full con
ference, which adopted it provisionally

ment's ratification, which the delegates
do not doubt will be accorded.

the Fall the mlneowners were ship

mis time that Moyer aooroached
Adams in the presenco of Pettlbone. In
tne latter s store In Denver, and in
formed him that he wanted him to
meet him again at the store in the
early part of the eening, when he
would go with him down to tha train.
He said he wanted him to en tn Po.
caieno. Idaho, and carry with him
some Pettlbone dope.' which he was
to throw Into any train that was sud-
posed to be loaded with scabs and set
the train on tire as it passed through
focaieuo.
"Adams went on to state, that, ac
cording to appointment, he met Mover
at tne -feiuoone store, where Moyer
provided him with a telescope grip
sack. In this gripsack was a tin can.
wnicn. as he thought, contained two
quart bottles and three pint bottles of
the 'Pettlbone dope. Moyer bought
mm a tlcKct for Pocatello and told him
to get a berth in the sleeper, so that
he would get a good night's rest, and
to watch evory train that came
through Pocatello and If he could find
out the train that was loaded with
scabs,' he was to fill It full of this
Pettlbone dope. or 'hell Are': lust
throw the bottles through the windows
and they would explode.
'On arriving at Pocatello Adams made
some inquiries relative to the supposed
scabs that were to pass through, but so
far as he could learn. If there were anv
scabs being transported through the town
they were scattered through the cars.
therefore he concluded he would not take
any chances In burning up a train of in
nocent passengers, and did not use this
dope.
"Having been informed, through Mover

owners of Cripple Creek were shiDnimr

was not the case. Notwithstanding the
fact that this 'hell nrc. or Pettlbone dope,'

that it was smelling strongly, so he took
