PULLED OFF SPIT
Battleship Rhode Island Saved
by Four Big Tugs.
DAMAGE NOT DETERMINED
Native Pilot Is Said to 'Have Been
Refused, Although Services
Were Proffered "When En
tering the Heads.
NORFOIJC. Xa., May 6. The battlrship
Rhodo Island was floated at hlffh tide to
nlKht after having been ajcround on the
i ork Spit bar sincp Saturday mornlnic.
It was due to the efforts of four power
ful naval tuKS the Uneas, Wahneta, Her
cules and Mohawk that the big warship
waa drawn from the sandbar.
. The Rhode Island then dropped anchor
In the mouth of the York River and will
rnme to Hampton Roads tomorrow morn-
inir. The extent of thfl Injury to the
ffhlp la not known tonlfrht. It develops
that there was no natlve pilot taken
aboard the vessel when she entered the
rapes. The Virginia pilots say that one
was offered, but was refused. Xr other
pilot would have undertaken to take the
chip to York Bay.
off York Spit there are numerous ahoaJs
that extend far out Into the main chan
nel. These ahoals are marked with buoys.
Other ships have stranded near the scene
of the mishap to the Rhode Island. The
fthoals in thla -portion of Chesapeake Bay
are treacherous, and captains of vessels
unfamiliar with the ohannel are likely to
come to (trlef If they attempt to enter
York River without the aid of local pilots.
Captain Qarst. of the Rhode Island, has
been HI. and naval officers express the
opinion that he was not in command when
the ship struck. It Is generally helieved
that the ship In attempting to enter York
River before daybreak Rot out of the
channel or the pilot lost his bearings by
misty weather.
Inquiry to Be Made.
WASHINGTON. May B. The Navy De
partment was advised today of the
jrroundinit of the battleship Rhode Island
through a telesram from Captain Harring
ton, commandant at the Norfolk Navy
Yard. A court of inquiry will be ap
pointed to ascertain the cause of the acci
dent and report whether further action
should be taken against anyone who may
be responsible.
This court, usually appointed by the
commanding officer of the fleet or squad
ron, will in the present case in all proba
bility be named by the Secretary of the
Navy, as the Rhode Island had not yet
been attached to any squadron, but was
merely out for a shakedown. If the court
of inquiry flnd.s any of the officers culpa
ble, a court-martial will be appointed.
FULTON DJFWHIS BILL
SAYS CHAMBERLAIN' DISCOV
ERED A MARK'S A EST.
Snapping of Land Desired by Itooth
Kclly Company Approved,
by Department.
ORKOOXTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. May 6. Tf there is a joker In th
hill recently introdured by Senator Ful
ton, to permit thr Booth-Kelly Lumber
Company to conpolidate -its holdings on
the KJamnth Indian reservation, by px
changlng; a part of its lands for Indian
h nds, it has not been discovered by In
dian Commissioner L.eupp. In fact the
bill introduced by Senator Fulton vas
drawn upon tho advice of Mr. Leupp and
Jia hip unqualified Indorsement.
The bill van the result of several con
ferences between the Indian Commission
er and R. A. Booth, representing th
lumber company. Governor Chamberlain
and State Iand Agrent West have given
out statements to throw suspicion upon
the bill. Their statements came to the
attention of Senator Fulton, and brought
from "htm a denial that the bill was es
pecially favorable to the Booth-Kelly
Company. Senator Fulton said:
According to several newspapers of Oregon.
Oovertmr Chamberlain and Iand Agent t
ltav discovered that a bill Introduced by (he
Is liahl lo deprive the state of some 15, (MM)
cres of swamp land. It In difficult for me
to blteve tht the Rnt!emen named are pur
posely responsible for the publication of ich
articles. It occurs to me that a very ordi
nary wens of Justice wouid have suggested the
Importune of careful Invent 1 Ration before giv
ing publicity to so gmvft a charge.- I ajn not
.dlspoeM to quention the fidelity of either to the
lntertvtts of the state, but they should both re
member that there are others. I submit, there
fore, that It "wr-h their duty to inform them
selves of the facts before rushing into print
in th manner they apparently have In thla
Instance. Now the facts about the bill I In
troduced are n follows:
In April and December. 1871, and April,
"1S7S, certain Ian tin were conveyed by the Uni
ted Ftatea to the Biate of Oregon, pursuant to
ttxm act of 4'ongrem of July '2, 18ft4, to aid
the construction of a wagon road from Kugene
iiy o the eastern boundary of tho state.
Thews lands were, in turn, conveyed by the
State nf Orfipin to thf Wngon Road Company,
mi then by mesne conveyances to the pres
ent owner. tb California Oregon I-and Com
pany. Pom years ago a suit -was instituted by
the I'nited States at r Inst the latter company
to rnnoel Cie patents to certain of said lands.
Including the lands In question, on the ground
that they were excepted from the grant. That
suit was finally terminated by a decision of
the United State Supreme Court in 1WW (192
V. S. AM) In favor of the land company, and
atnos then the Government has recognized the
validity of ths company's title. (ln the mean
time, however, there had been (allotted, or an
attempt had been mads to allot a portion of
the lands in question to the Klamath Indian.
Ths wagon-road grant was of the odd-numbered
sect ions. Th e com pan y nat ural I y d e
lrn,thst It shall be in a compact body, and
the iSovemment la anxious to protect the al
lotments to the Indians and at the same time
bring thntr lands Into one compact ody. The
lands being all within the boundaries of th
Klamath Indian reservation. It haa been agreed
between the Depart rfUnt of the lhteiior and
the land company that the latter shall ex
change such allotted lands, and. I believe, cer
tain others In ths vicinity, for a -solid body in
one corner of the reservation. Such exchange
Is certainly very greatly in ths interest of the
Government and the Indians. Ths department
required Congressional authority to make the
exchange, and the bill I introduced Is designed
to grant such authority and has .been approved
by both the Interior Department and the land
ompany. That the state cannot be Injured or
H rights affented In any wise by the ex
change la manifest for several reasons:
Ktrst-The state granted the. lands held by
the land company and by It proposed to bs
t rwriffirred, to it grantor and bene can have
no Interest therein, and la claiming none, I
understand. Having conveyed them, how can
it claim them?
Second If the state has any interest la
either the land proposed to be transferred by
the company to the Government, or by tha lat
ter to the former, and suit Is pending to es
tablish such right, how can its title ba af
fected or extinguished by the exchange?
Third It is alleged that ths interest of the
attata Is In certain swamp lands. I am Inform d
Sitat not an acre of swamp land la Included or
intended to be included in tha deal, but if so,
and the state ha any title thereto, will it be
contended that Its title thereto would or could
be affected by such exchange? I cannot con
ceive that any intelligent person will ao. con
tend. . ,
Now this Is a matter that the Government Is
particularly -desirous of having settled, and
there seems to be no reason why the authority
should .not be granted the fiacretary of the
Interior to make the exchange. The bill I have
introduced simply authorises the Secretary to
do ao. in his discretion. It is very certain
that he will neither transfer to the company,
nor accept from it. any lands claimed by the
state. Can any person believe that the Secre
tary of the Interior would take the responsi
bility of transferring or accepting the trans
fer of any lands for which the state is now
prosecuting its claim against the Government
before the courts? Further, I am assured by
the Commissioner that they will be very care
ful not to transfer or accept transfer of any
land claimed by the state.
It occurs to me that It is up to the Governor
and Land Agent West to make one more dis
covery, and that is. hat they have been a lit
tle premature, to say the leaM.
BILL SATISFIES PRESIDENT
L.OXG STEP IX SOLVING THE
KAILKOAD PROBLEM.
HEARING A VOTE
Roosevelt Tells Pennsylvania- J5ta4e
Grange of the Effect of th
Allison Amendment.
WASHINGTON, May 6. President
Rnoiwvelt today' Reiterated his views on
railroad rate legislation in a telegram
sent to the executive committee of the
Pennsylvania State Grange. Th tele
gram follows:
"Washington. May 6. W. F. Hill and
Members Executive Committee Pennsyl
vania State Grange: Telegram received.
2 am happy to tell you that not only am
I standing on my original position as re
gards rate legislation, but - It -seems
There are only a few more days In
which to register. If you expect to
vote, you should get your name on
the. reg-iKtratlon books so that the .
clerks and Judges of election will
know that you are entitled to vote.
Vnless you are registered you can
' vote only by securing the signatures
of six freeholders to a certificate
concerning your residence, etc. Bo
not trouble your friends and incon
venience the judges on election day,
but register now.
likely Congress will' take this position,
too. The Hepburn bill meets my views,
as I have from the beginning stated. The
Allison amendment is only declaratory
of what the Hepburn bill must mean,
supposing it to be unconstitutional, and
no genuine friend of the bill can object
to it without stultifying himself.
"In addition I shall be glad to get cer
tain amendments, such as those com
monly known as the Long and Overman
amendments, but they are not vital,
and even without them the Hepburn bill
with the Allison amendment contains
practically exactly what I have both
originally and always since asked for.
and if enacted into law It will represent
the longest step ever yet taken in the di
rection of solving the railroad problem.
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
GAPON IN SWITZERLAND
Gorky's Vnderstudy Says He Has Re
ceived a Telegram.
CHICAGO. May 6. "Father Gapon
has not yet been lynched by Russian
anarchists. On the other hand he Is
in Switzerland, alive and well, as I
positively know," said Ivan Ivanovttc'n
Narodny in an address before a Social
ist gathering on the North Side this
afternoon.
Narodny came to the United States
with Maxim Gorky and was substituted
for Gorky as the speaker at the So
cialist meeting on account of Gorky's
illness. The meeting was held under
the auspices of the Industrial Workers
of the World, as a protest against the
arrest of Haywood and Moyer, of the
Western Federation of Miners, in con
nection with the assassination of for
mer Governor Frank Steunenberg, of
Idaho.
Narodny added that only last Mon
day a mutual friend in Washington, D.
C. had received a cablegram from
Gapon.
BOND FINDS SUPPORT.
Bait Act Against American Fisher
men to Be Strictly Enforced.
ST. JOHN. N. F.. May 6. Public senti
ment throughout the colony strongly sup
ports the Bond cabinet's aggressive en
actment against the American fisherman,
while from views expressed in official cir
cles It appears probable that the Premier
has the Indorsement of the British gov
ernment, which believes the restrictive
measures proposed are within the colony's
legal rights.
The government will employ whaling
vessels in addition to revenue cruisers in
enforcing the bait act against American
fishing vessels.1 The new foreign Ash
ing vessels bill is expected to pass the
upper house of the legislature tomor
row. Both houses will be prorogued
Wednesday.
BELMONT IS SATISFIED
Proposed Amendment to Publicity
Bill an Improvement.
WASHINGTON", May 6. Perry Belmont
was asked today what he thought of ths
proposed amendments to the publicity
bill. He replied:
"I believe the proposed amendments . will
improve' the bill, which already covers
National and Congressional committees,
but did not provide for the publication of
contributions and expenses under the
close of campaigns, while the amend
ments provide for publication, both ' be
fore and after elections. As the principle
of the publicity is preserved intact by the
amendments, I am confident that no mem
ber of our organization will object to
them."
WASTE OF CANAL MONEY
tContinued From Paffe 1.)
political dumping ground. It is my opin
ion, based on interviews with upward of
S00 minor officials and supported by my
own observation, that the Government
cannot complete the canal in 20 years nor
within double the present estimated cost
unless It can absolutely eliminate poli-tli-s
from the administration of canal
affair.
As to graft on the isthmus. 1 am glad
.to report that I encountered no specific
case that is supported by positive proof.
Some transactions "looked bad." but
when I have said that. I have said all I
know concerning them. XTnfortunately, a
certain percentage of dishonesty is a
human attribute. That graft does "exist In
some limited degree on the Isthmus I
haw no doubt. It will be found anywhere
In the world in a project of this magnitude.
Senate Will Probably Pass on
Rate Bill This Week.
MADE A PARTY: MEASURE
Compromise on Judicial Review of
findings of Interstate Com
mission Is Xot Expected to
Be Actively Opposed.
WASHINGTON May 6. Practically all
the members of the United States Senate
agree in predicting that the present week
will see the end of the discussion on the
railroad rate bill. There is among Re
publican Senators some disposition to an
tagonize the compromise proposition for
a judicial review of the findings of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, but the
fact that this provision is accepted by the
conservative Senatorial leaders on the
one hand and by the President on the
other renders it practically certain that
the amendment will in the end be ac
cepted as a party measure and that it will
receive most if not all of the votes of
Republican Senators.
It remains to be seen what effect the
consolidation of the Republican party will
have upon the Itemopratio Senators.
There Is little doubt that they will
criticize the course of their political an
tagonists, but it is not probable that
they will carry their opposition to the
extent of trying to postpone the final
vote on the bill for any great length of
time. The Democrats will probably con
tent themselves with expressing surprise
that the bill should be transformed into
a party measure, and then, after chaffing
their opponents, will let the votes be
taken, each man voting according to his
own personal views.
There is no agreement among Republi
cans as to whether the bill shall be other
wise amended, and It Is probable that a
day or two will elapse before any policy
Jn that point can be determined. The
consideration of the bill will proceed In
accordance with the unanimous agree
ment, the measure being considered sec
tion by section and each section disposed
of in order. The proceedings last Friday,
the only day on which the Senate has
been in session under the agreement. In
dicated that there is little prospect of any
general change in the measure.
At this time It seems probable that
changes may be made giving the com
mission power to compel trunk lines to
make connection with other lines and pro
hibiting the transportation companies
from engaging in the production of com
modities. Amendments for the accom
plishment of both purposes will be urged,
and so far comparatively little opposition
to them has been developed.
Opinions differ as to the length of time
that may be required for the conclusion
of the work on the bill, and estimates
vary all the way from Wednesday until
Saturday. The principal debate will be
on the question of court review, which
will probably be reached by Tuesday.
After that is disposed of there will be
little heart left for anything else, and
whatever may be offered will most likely
be acted upon after comparatively little
discussion.
There are as yet no plans for taking
up other measures after the railroad bill
shall have been disposed of, but it is ex
pected that some of the appropriation
bills will be ready for consideration by
that time." The discussion cf the nomi
nation of Mr. .Barnes, assistant secretary
to the President, as Postmaster of Wash
ington, will also proceed when oppor
tunity offers.
The National House of Representatives
will complete the naval appropriation bill
this week. If the foreign affairs commit
tee can get the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill ready in time, action
also may be taken on that measure.
Aside from this character of legislation
today is to be devoted to the passage of
bills under suspension of the rules and
Friday Is to be devoted to the passing of
private pension bills.
The reading of the naval bill Is ex
pected to occupy the House Tuesday,
Wednesday and possibly Thursday.
Should there be .any unoccupied, time,
however, there are two special orders
already on the calendar and the immi
gration bill is to constitute the third if
the present plan succeeds to give It more
status by the passage of a resolution tp
day. Pure food legislation has the right
of way after appropriation bills, and next
the bill creating a uniform system of
naturalization.
Night sessions are contemplated to get
through the voluminous codification of
the criminal laws which Is pending, but
no special order to this end has been
adopted. With the naval and diplomatic
bills out of the way, there remain but
two appropriation blllB to be formed and
passed. These are the sundry civil,, which
will 'be oxit of committee the middle' of
May, and the general deficiency bill,
which Is always the last and calculated
to carry the odds and ends of the money
necessities of the Government.
MOTOR CURS FOR THE WEST,
J- J. HILIi HAS EXPERT EXPER
IMENTING IX EUROPE.
Announcement That Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern 'Will
Improve Suburban Service.
In common with all other railroad
systems in the United States, the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific are
making experiments with gasoline
motor cars preparatory to their intro
duction for suburban services at vari
ous pcints on the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific systems. It Is likely
that a motor car will be placed on the
Portland-Vancouver, run when tne
Portland & Seattle line is finished and
will provide quick and cheap trans
portation between the two cities.
J. J. Hill has a motor car expert in
Knrope studying different styles of
cars there, and upon his return to this
country he will recommend the best
type to be built for service on the Hill
lines. The expert is C. J. Hoist. He
has made motor cars a study since
they were first introduced for railroad
service and his investigations now
are being carried on in France and
Germany, where the motor car has
reached its best development.
There is no doubt that motor cars
could be used to advantage at every
point of importance on the Hill sys
tems. The service to the lakes and
resorts near St. Paul and Minneapolis
could be Improved and made more
economical by the installation of fre
quent and cheap motor car service,
and the use of the cars on the run
from Spokane to Medical Lake and
other resorts, as well as for suburban
service, would be an Improvement.
Front Hoqulam and Aberdeen to the
Washington beaches would prove a
fertile field for the proposed motive
power, as. would the suburban runs
out of Seattle. The trip from Seattle
to Tacoma over the Northern Pacific
will probably be made by motor car
Instead of by trains within a Bhort
time if the Hill roads adopt gasoline
cars as motive power.
Louis Hill, son of J. J. Hill and vice
president of the Great Northern Rail
way, is quoted as having stated while
in Seattle recently that within a short
time his road would pay particular at
tention to suburban service from the
principal points on the line, and this
statement is taken to mean that after
a time motor cars will be built and
Bet to work along the whole system.
OPENING A BIG SUCCESS
First Cnitcd Cigar Store Visited by
Thousands.
Great attention has been attracted dur
ing the past two days to the Third-street
establishment of the United Cigar Stores
Company, which has just opened for busi
ness, marking the entrance of that com
pany Into the local retail field. There was
not a minute Saturday or Sunday when
the store was not crowded to the doors
with customers, and the management re
gards its opening as successful in every
way. It came as somewhat of a surprise
that the store on the opening day did
J100O of business, more than any other
store which the company has yet opened
on the Pacific Coast.
So great was the rush of buyers that 22
clerks found It almost impossible to han
dle the crowd, and It was found necessary
to ask the assistance of the police. More
than 6000 carnations were given away to
customers during the two days.
The window display was one of the most
attractive of the kind ever seen in Port
land, and held the attention of many
women, as well as men. The interfixtures,
which are very beautiful and were in
stalled at TOuch cost, were all manufac
tured in Portland, as were also the heavy
plateglass windows.
General Manager Rosenfeld, of New
Tork, who came to Portland for the open
ing, considers it the most successful la
the history of the company. He regards
the establishment as the most complete
United Store he has opened, as does also
Treasurer Edward Wise, who accompanied
him.
SUPPORT ROOSEVELT IDEA
Dr. Lyman B. Sperry in Address
Condemns Race Suicide.
Dr. Lyman B. Sperry, of Oberlin, Ohio,
a physician who for the past 20 years has
devoted himself to a study of sexology,
addressed a large audience of men In the
auditorium of the Toung Men's Christian
Association yesterday afternoon. He
spoke upon the subject, "Male and Fe
male," dealing with the theme from a
physiological standpoint.
Dr. Sperry is an advocate of President
Roosevelt's doctrine on the subject of
race suicide. He advanced the opinion
that the most important duty of every
married couple is to rear a familv and
that the fulfillment of this obligation
should not be, neglected because of the
press of business or social duties.
"Family life is the most important
thing on earth." he said, "and it should
not be sacrificed for any reason. Other
nations have gone to destruction because
of the disregard they paid to that unit
of the social body, the family. In their
fall there is a warning to us, and. how
ever much men are disposed to discuss
the subject lightly, it cannot be denied
that It is an important one and should
receive serious consideration."
