STANDSHSGROUND
Chandler Insists That" Roose
velt Was Correctly Quoted.
WAS USED AS MEDIATOR
Say Roosevelt Said He Finalfy Dis
agreed With Railroad Senators
and Authorized Agreement
With the Democrats.
WASHINGTON, May 1. Senator
Tillman today received from former
Senator William E. Chandler a state
ment of his course as an intermediary
in the negotiations between President
Roosevelt and Senators Tillman and
Bailey on the railroad .rate bill. The
communication bears upon Senator
Lodge's - denial ' for the President of
Mr. Chandler's statement quoting the
President as saying: he had lost confi
dence in Senators Foraker, Spooner
and Knox. It was offered in the Sen
ate by Senator Tillman, and will be
printed in the Congressional Record.
The text of the statement follows:
"My Dear Mr. Tillman: As the tele
phonic denial by President Roosevelt,
sent to the Senate through Senator
Lodge, remains in the Congressional
Record of May 13, it seems to me that
I should take some notice of it, which
I do now by reaffirming the essential
truth of the statement I made to you,
and which you repeated in the Senate.
Much as I regret that the hasty action
"f Senator Lodge and the President
has forced an issue between the Pres
ident and myself, the extreme lan
guage he used makes such issue un
avoidable, and I cannot shrink from
or evade it. although I cannot use to
ward the Chief Executive of the Na
tion' language like-his own. Upon our
respective statements I submit the
controversy with confidence to the
judgment of those who know me.
"For those who do not know me.
there-is fortunately circumstantial ev
idence of a high order which showi
that the President could not have
omitted to make in . substance the
statement which he denies. Nor could
he have -then made the whole state
ment which he now substitutes. His
impulsiveness has led him into serious
error upon a point of no Importance in
Itself, but only 'as affecting his attack
upon me. I give to you a further state
ment, as follows: -
Says -Roosevelt Sent for Him.- -
"Prior to March 31 I had not seen ths
President for a long time. I did not go
to the White House ns a representative
of Senator Tillman, but solely because
the .President . summoned me there by
the letter from Mr. Loeb, and I waited
for him to express his object. It was un
mistakably stated to be a communication
with Mr. Tillman, who had the rate bill
in charge, and other Democrats of the
Senate, for the purpose of securing the
adoption in th railroad rate bill of a
court review clause, limiting the inquiry
to the question whether th-s commission
bad exceeded it authority or had vio
lated the Constitutional rights of the car
rier. :i knew and he knew that it was Im
possible for him to open conferences with
Mr. Tillman, unless he was fullv satis
fied thst the President had absolutely
given up all Intention of coming to an
agreement with the Senators, who had
been making the contest for an unlim
ited court review, and in stating his ob
ject he said that, he had parted from
them -finally, naming Senators Knox.
Foraker and Spooner as the Senators
who had made the arguments in the
Senate to sustain that view, and he used
as nearly a I can recollect the language,
given in my statement repeated by Mr.
Tillman.
"The conversation Included the under
standing which he had that day reached
with Senators Long and Allison, the fact
that not over one-third of the Republi
can Senators could be relied on to vote
for. the limited court review and that it
was vital that the support of nearly all
the Democrats should be obtained.
" Tillman Consents to Confer.
"When an how later I visited Mr. Till
man and told him my mission from the
President. I found him distrustful and
suspicious. He questioned me closely as
to what the President had said, and I
related to him as accurately as I could
the statement made by the President to
me. and I convinced him that the Presi
dent had reaaed -.to hope for compromise
with the Senators named and the other
advocates of an unlimited court review.
When satisfied that this was the case, he
readily consented to co-operate with the
President, and said that he would see
Senator Bailey and report to me the re
sult, which he did, saying there would
be perfect accord upon the limitation of
the right of review if carried forward in
connection with a limitation, of the right
to issue exparte injunctions.
Agreement Made With Moody.
"The conferences thus begun were on
the 16th. at my - suggestion, transferred
to Attorney-General Moody, and at once
resulted in an understanding that the ef
fort should be made to limit the right
of court review, as stated in the Long
amendment, and in the paper drawn up on
April 1 by Mr. Moody and later per
fected by Messrs. Moody, Tillman and
Bailey. Waa it not natural and essential
that tha President should have satisfied
me that he bad finally separated upon the
question of the court review from the
Penators who were the principal oppon
ents of any limitation of that review,
which they believed would be unconstitu
tional, and that I should have repeated
his ataternents to Mr. Tillman? Is it pos
sible that I went directly that night to
Senator Tillman at the Colonial Hotel
and poured Into his ears a deliberate and
inquallfled falsehood?
Sore Roosevelt Is Mistaken.
"Consider next the statement which
the President says he thinks he made.
Instead of the ona narrated by me.
Senator Foraker, be says, waa not
mentioned. I am quite sure he Is mis
taken. Senators Knox and Spooner.be
says, were mentioned, but that all
that was said about them aa to Sen
ator Knox was 'that the President did
not agree with a portion of bis pro
posed amendment, but that he thought
he had made a wrong argument for
asserting affirmatively the Jurisdiction
or authority of the court; and as to
Senator Spooner, that his name was
only ..mentioned by him to express his
tordial apprqval of Senator Spooner s
amendment.
"This Spooner amendment was not
offered in the Senate until May 10, but
I learn that it had been in existence
and shown to the President, whether
as earlv as March 31 does not appear.
But this is certain, that If tb Presi
dent had on that night told me ha cor
dially approved of it and I had so re
ported to Mr. Tillman, there would
have ensued no conferences looking to
co-operation; therefore, the President
as to that amendment had in mind a
conversation at some other time or
with some other person.
'Ills Words Quite Harmless.
"It should be also bofcne In mind
that Th report ! made to1 Mr. Tillman
of the President's conversation is com
paratively harmless and inoffensive.
Hare It is: .
"Ha said that be had bean much troubled
by the advocacy of aa unlimited court r
Ttnr by soma of the lawyers of .the Senata.
naming Senators Knox, Spooner and Foraker
mm trying to injure, or defeat the bill by in
genious constitutional argument, but that he
hadcome to-a. complete disagreement with
thtra."
"What is there In tha ab6ve words
that Is untrue r should give grave
offense to the Senators named? They
were the great constitutional lawyers
of the Senate, making ingenious argu
ments against any limitation of court
review, and they vert troublesome
and likely to be troublesome in an at
tempt to carry the Long-Moody limi
tation through the Senate by the vote
of 25 or more Democrats and. 20 er
less Republican Senators.
"What harm waa there in tha Pres
ident saying that ha had come to a
final disagreement with them On the
day when he had held a White House
conference with a view to uniting
Democratic and Republican forces in
carrying a limitation of court review
then and there agreed upon? He could
say it in or out of their presence with
out giving offense to them. Nor was
it a very strong expression to say that
they were trying to injure or defeat
the bill by ingenious constitutional
arguments. It did not mean that they
were trying to defeat the bill if It
could be amended to-meet their views.
Mr. Knox had declared it to be uncon
stitutional unless amended, and that
was the general position of the op
ponents of limited court review which
led the President on that day to con
clude It would b.e best to expressly
grant the Jurisdiction to review, but
to rigidly limit it to the two objects
named.
Lucky He Can slill Talk.
"The only harm that I can see that
has come in the whole business was
the abandonment of any attempt to
carry that limitation of the review,
without any previous notice to Sena
tors Tillman and Bailey.
"On the whole, perhaps, I Ought to
consider myself fortunate. If the old
imperialistic days bad been fully re
vived at the White House, one whom
I considered the best of friends. Sen
ator Lodge, upon demand would have
cut off my head and taken it to Presi
dent Roosevelt on a charger, and I
should have spoken no more. Now, at
least, I have left to 'me the power of
speech. But I shall never use it again
as a missionary from .President Roose
velt to the Democratic party. Sin
cerely yours..
"WILLIAM B. CHANDLER."

HER SLEEP BROKEN
Oakland Sees Its Opportunity,
Does Not Seize It.
BOASTS, BUT DOES NOT ACT
Hope .to Supplant San Francisco,
bnt Drives Away People by Ex
- tortion and Lack of
Definite Action.
OAKLAND, Cal., May IS. (Special.)
Bleepy, conservative Oakland has
been rudely awakened from its time-
honored lethargy since the hustling
populace of San Frahclsco has taken
ud its Quarters here. It is almost amus
ing to see the hitherto slow, plodding
merchants of this town attempt to rise
to the occasion and reap the harvest
which has been thrust upon tbem.
Oakland now has fully twice the pop
ulation it had a month ago. Every
available room and dwelling-house in
the city Is occupied and travelers com
ing in are fortunate to secure a place
to lay their heads St night at any price.
Prices of everything have been put up
extravagantly blgh. and merchants are
simply overwhelmed with business.
Broadway street in. the evening looks
for all the world like busy Market
street, and one can almost imagine, as
one walks down the Oakland thor
oughfare, that the well-remembered
landmarks of the old city have been
brought across the bay.
Hope to Supplant Ruined City.
Two opposing sentiments are in the
minds of the Oakland people. They
want to make the most they can of the
present situation and they want to
build now also for the city's future
welfare. Many are firmly- convinced
that San Francisco's downfall must re
sult in Oakland's upbuilding. The local
newspapers teem with this talk. They
argue that the Argonauts only builded
in San Francisco because the waters
on the north shore were too shallow
for shipping. Now that the old city
iB gone And its merchants have locat
ed in Oakland, there is no reason why
they should not remain here and settle
rather than go to the expense of re
building on their old locations and fur
thermorethe native Oaklender can
never forbear this little thrust San
Francisco, being built on made ground,
is liable at any time to suffer, again
from earthquake shocks. . .
Letting Opportunity Slip.
If Oakland . were a live "town, it
would seize this opportunity and, even
if it did not supplant San Francisco,
an almost preposterous thought, it
could at least add greatly to its wealth
apd population. There are thousands
of people who are unwilling to return
to their old homes, Including many
merchants, and If the "Athens of the
West" would transfer its energy from
boasting of its charms to making
straight business propositions, it
would certainly secure many of these
San Franciscans for its own residents.
But it is plainly evident that Oakland
is letting slip the main chance, auch
as it will never get again. In their
anxiety to line their pockets at the ex
pense of the. San Francisco people who
have been forced within their town,
the Commuters are asking' extortionate
prices for everything. Furthermore,
they have adopted a most irritating
boastful attitude. They boast of their
destined future superiority and on top
of this they are taking no concerted
action to - rejuvenate their business
practices, which have always been not
ably behind the times.
Refugees More Determined.
The whole effect is simply that San
Francisco people are more determined
than ever to return to their old abiding
places and they are also more firmly
convinced than ever that the "Athens
of the West" is Indeed the "city of
unburied dead." Oakland will never
supplant Sari Francisco. It does not
deserve to. Now, when opportunity is
knocking at its doors, it is displaying
disgusting provincialism.
CONTRACTORS REFUSE WORK
Employment Refused to Destitute
While Outsiders) Are Hired.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 16. The follow-
ing important letter, having reference to
the employment of the destitute men of
San Francisco, was read at this morning's
meeting of the committee of 40. It is
signed W. v. Stafford, state moor com
missioner, in charge of the Red Cross em
ployment bureau, and addressed to Mayor
Schmltz:
'I beg to advise you that we have been
able to place about 800 men in employ
ment at the Red Cross fcimployment Bu
reau, in the Hearst Grammar School. Fill
more and Hermann streets. This is out
of a registration of about 3500. I am not
at all satisfied that we have met with
proper aasistance at the hands of employ
ing contractors and others who 'believe
they are interested in the practical solu
tlon of Ssn Francisco's needs. Many are
hiring labor as they require it from the
long line of men entering the city; men
who are deserting their labor In the m
terior. attracted by the statements of the
Immediate reconstruction of the city.
"We make insistent pleas for orders for
men with poor result. Contractors are
not alive to the importance of giving the
first choice to San Francisco's own peo
pie. Indeed. I am led to believe that some
large employers are uiougntiess to a ae.
tree bordering On cruelty.
"In one instance a firm has given out
the statement that men could not be ob
tained and has had signs printed and
Boated about the city calling for 1000 men
They advised a representative of this
bureau to send the men. We sent a num
ber, who were told, "no work' and "no men
needed.' I made a personal investigation
and was advised by the firm that they
did not need any men, that the signs were
old.. Some of these signs were still out
two days ago. and men tramped wearily
about the city in consequence. This is not
honest.
"I regret to advise you that some of the
contractors in and around tne city are
placing their pay-day mo far ahead as to
render their Work valueless to men wltn
families, and then discount their own
paper In a vicious and extortionae man
ner. These things were bad enough in
ordinary times: today they are brutal.
CAPFTAIi TO REBUILD CITY
Company to Loan $100,000,000 to
Be Organized This Week.
NEW YORK, May 1, The Herald today
says:
One hundred million dollars is to be the
capitalization of the new mortgage loan
corporation which is to be organized here
to advance money for the rebuilding of
San Francisco. The promoters of the en
terprise at first argued that $10,000,000 cap
italization would provide an ample vehicle
for handling hundreds of millions of in
vestments, - but It was found that San
Francisco favors a much larger capital
isation. giving opportunity for investmen
by the Pacific Coast. Hence it is now
considered best to capitalise for 000,000.
000, with paid in subscriptions reaching
$10,000,000 cash.
E. H. Harriman, president of the South
ern Pacific: Frank A. Vanderlip, vice
president of the National City Bank: Sen
ator Newlands, of Nevada, and H. S.
Black, president of the United States
Realty & Improvement Company, today
conferred with Franklin K. Lane and
Thomas Mages, both of San Francisco,
and members of the relief committee,
upon means to be employed to remove
from the minds of Investors in the East
the fear that the complicated mortgage
laws of California will inflict double tax
ation . upon owners of mortgages in San
Francisco.
Plans for the perfecting of the huge
mortgage loan corporation were adopt
ed, and it is now expected that all
of the preliminaries will be completed this
week and the work of advancing 1 00.000,
000 and more for the reconstruction of the
destroyed city will begin within 30 days.

terrible disaster. They are facing to the

city and make It a finer and better- metropolis

MAKE MONEY BY DISASTER
Enterprise of Stanford Students and
Refugee Musicians. -OAKLAND.
Cal.. May 1 (Special.)
Some verv curious schemes for making
money have been devised since the earth
quake and fire. Two Stanford students,
in the early days of the trouDie, securea
many views of the. ruins in' San. Fran
cisco and surrounding country. These
they had reproduced on lantern slides.
and now they are touring the small towns
of California presenting stereoptlcon .lec
tures. From latest reports they are re
ceiving heavy patronage.
In Berkeley, a group of musicians from
San Francisco, who have lost their all. are
banded together; and they propose also
maklna- a tour of the state, relying tor
patronage on their distinction as a. "refu
gee band. 1 Most of them also are mu
sicians of much ability.
PAY WHAT THEY LEGALLY OWE
Insurance Companies Not Bound by
Rule Heavy Loss to Police.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 16 The insur
ance companies will settle . their losses
in their own way, each company acting
for itself, according to the contracts em
bodied in its policies, and the Fire Un
derwriters' Adjusting Bureau will mane
no attempt to "dictate a general policy
or lay down uniform rules for the com
panies to observe in tne settlement ol
claims, according to a statement made
yesterday, by Attorney T. C. Coogan, who
is legal adviser to the adjustment bureau.
The adjustment bureau is merely to act
as a board of appraisers in dealing with
claims and only report on losses sus
tained, leaving the settlement entirely . to
the respective companies.
Limit on Height of Buildings.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-The sub-

CUT OFF MIES
Congress May Legislate Out
Land Receivers. .
NO APPROPRIATION, MADE
House Committee Cuts Out Amount
for Officials Whose Terms Ex
pire Soon The Dalles and
Other Offices Affected.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. May 16. The House committee on
appropriations will not make provision in
the sundry' civil bill for the salaries of
land office receivers whose terms expire
during the present year. The public lands
committee has refused to report a bill
abolishing the office of land receiver, not
withstanding the recommendations of the
President and General Land Office, but
the appropriations committee believes this
reform is Justified and must to be desired.
However, the- appropriation committee
has not jurisdiction over this general sub
ject, and can ' only 'act 'as outlined, to cut
off the salaries -of-those receivers whose
terms are about to expire.-
Under this charge. Miss Anna M. Lang.
the onlv woman land officer in the West.
will be legislated out of office unless the
Senate should restore this appropriation.
but no other Oregon official 'would be af
fected this year. -
In Washington. Receivers L. B. An
drews at Seattle and A. J. Cook at Van
couver would lose their office after July 1,
along with Edward E. Garrett at Boise,
Charles G. Garby. Lewlston: .William A.
Hodgtnan. Hailey:. Charles G. Warner,
Coeur d'Alene. and George A. Robethan.
Blackfoot, Idaho, and P. M. Mullen, Ju
neau, Alaska.
If is expected that -the eSnate win -re
store this appropriation to the sundry
civil bill. but. if it should not. the ofneers
named, with many others, will be dropped
on June 30 next.
REBUILDING OF STANFORD
NECESSARY STRUCTURES RE
PAIRED BY SEPTEMBER.
Plenty of Money, and Work Has Be
gun Damage Much Less Than
First Estimated.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 16. Stanford
University will be reconstructed at once,
and by next September every building nec
essary to the work of the college will be
in perfect condition. The work has al
ready commenced, and there Is plenty of
money on hand to assure the trustees that
the repairs may be accomplished as quick
ly as they desire.
The structures will be rendered earthquake-proof.
Three' experts have been
appointed, and their report will be the
basis for whatever changes are considered
necessary.
A closer examination of the wrecked
buildings shows the damage to have been
not nearly as great as at first reported.
The three most seriously damaged are the
Memorial Church, the new gymnaBium
and the new library. Of these, the new
library will probably have to be torn
down. The new gymnasium is still in a
condition to be reconstructed. The memo
rial church Is damaged, probably to the
extent of a quarter of its value. The
walls are uninjured and the tower is
standing. The magnificent organ was not

'OPBlt PUBLICITY THE BEST
GtTXRMNTT OP MERIT.
When the maker of a medicine, sold
through druggists for family use, takes
his patients fully into his confidence) by
frankly and fearlessly publishing broad
cast as well as on its bottle wrappers,
a full 11st of all its ingredients n ptofct
SngiitK, this action on bis part is tha
best possible evidence that he is not
afraid to have tha search light of inves
tigation turned fall upon nit formal
and that it will baar tha fullest erutfnjr
and tha most thorough investigation.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Presaription for the
cure of the weakness n. periodical pains
and functional derangementa of the or
gans distinctly feminine, it the only medi
cine put up for sale through drugaists for
woman's special use, the maker of which
la not afraid to take his pavieata into)
oil full confidence by such ape an4
honest publicity.
A glance at the published ingredient
on each bottle wrapper, will shew that It
is made wholly from native. American,
medicinal roots, that It contains no pot
eonous or hatnijormjng dregs, no nar
eotica and no alcohol pure, triple-refined
glycerine, of proper atreegth being ated
instead of the commonly emjpioyed alco
hol, both for extracting and preserving
the active medicinal properties found In
the roots of the A marl can forest plants
employed. It is the only medicine for
women's pecular diseases, soid by drug
gists, that does not eon tain a large per
centage of alcohol, which Is in the long
run so harmful to woman's delicate, nerv
ous system. New, glycerine is perfectly
harmless, and servos a valuable purpose
by poaeeesing intrinsic value all lis own,
and besides it enhances the curative
effect of the ether Ingredients entering
Into the Favorite Prescription."
Some of the ablest medical writers and
teacher endorse these view and praise
all the several ingredients of which 'Fa
vorite Prescription" is composed rec
ommending them for the cure of the
very same diseases for which this world
famed medicine Is advised. Ko other
medicine for women has any such f
earionol endorsement worth more than
any namber of ordinary testimonials. If
Interested, send came and address to Dr.

Ererr one haa a hereditary to a Pare Wood supply, which insures
a strong, healthy body ; but hovr many do we see who have inh-rijed that
greatest of all misfortunes, Scrofula, and are struggling under a legacy of.
disease and suffering? Scrofula is a constitutional trouble banded flown
from parent to child, a curse from generation to generation as long as the
scrofulous matter is allowed to remain la the family blood. As the very
foundation of the blood is diseased we see this awful affliction manifested
in many ways, such as enlarged glands or tumors about the neck, which
often burst and become discharging ulcers, weak eyes, chronic Catarrh of the
head, nkin diseases, etc. This blighting disease being so firmly intrenched
in the blood often attacks the bones, resulting in White Swelling, or hip
disease, while a pallid, waxey appearance of the skin, loss of strength, and
often lung affections show that the disease is entirely destroying the rich,
nutritive qualities of the blood. There is but one way to cure Scrofula and
that is to purify the blood and rid it of the germs of disease, and for this
purpose nothing equals S. S. S. Its purifying and building-up properties
--. make it the ideal remedy for Scrofula. S. S. S.
