FREE FROM BLAME
Charges Against Idaho Land
Officers Baseless.
E.MCENCE ONLY HEARSAY
Special Agent Pollard Called Down
for Smirching Boise and Hailey
Officials 'Without Cause.
Charges Answered.
OREGONIAN XBW3 BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 7. The land officers at Boise
and Hailey, as well &9 the Surveyor-General
ot Idaho, recently investigated by
Special Agent Pollard, of the General
Land Office, are all exonerated of the
charges filed by the latter.
Mr. Pollard, after spending many weeks
in Southern Idaho, found what he be
lieved to be gross Irregularities in every
office he visited, ranging all the way from
misuse of Government funds at Hailey
to misappropriation of Government prop
erty at Boise. His reports were bulky,
going into minute details, but upon ex
amination it developed that Mr. Pollard
accepted hearsay evidence as fact and
each and every official investigated made
a satisfactory explanation.
Mr. Pollard reported to the Department
without giving any official opportunity to
explain. He has been called down for
his methods and various officials have
been given a clean bill of health. The
Pollard charges it sustained would have
cost the Register and Receiver at Boise
and Hailey, as well as Surveyor-General
Kagleson, their positions.
PLEADS VAINLY FOB LOGGERS
Fulton Argues Against Forbidding
Them to Own Railroads.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June 7. During the discussion of
the conference report on the rate bill this
afternoon Senator Fulton strongly advo
cated the cause of the lumbering and min
ing interests of Oregon, Washington and
other Western States, and urged the con
ference committee to restore the Piles
amendment permitting Western lumber
companies to own and operate short lines
of railroad to get their product from the
forest to the mills, or to some trunk rail
road, Mr! Fulton said the-Elklns amendment
divorcing production from transportation
was Intended solely to prevent railroads
from owning and operating the great an
thracite coal mines of the East. There
has never been any complaint of injustice
resulting from Joint ownership of mines
and short roads In the West; on the con
trary, he declared that it had become
necessary for the lumbering and mining
interests of his section to build their own
'branch or logging roads, in order to get
their product to market. He declared
that trunk-line railroads would not read
ily build branch lines to connect with new
lumber and mining camps, and usually
the only way these new properties could
be opened up was through the construc
tion of short roads by persons or com
panies owning mines and forests.
Inasmuch as no abuses had grown up
under Joint ownership In the West, he de
clared there was absolutely no reason for
compelling theaw lumbermen and mine
oper&tors to surrender the little railroads
which they had built solely to develop
their property.
He questioned the power of Congress
to compel railroad companies to relinquish
their ownership of coal mines, even in the
anthracite fields. He insisted that the
problem that has grown up in the coal
fields of the East is too great to be dis
posed of hurriedly and without mature
consideration, and believed the entire El
kins amendment should be strlcked from
the rate bill with the understanding that
the whole question will be made the sub
ject of special study at the next session.
If the Elkins amendment is to stay, haw
ever, he asked that the Piles amendment
be put back in the bill, for failure to do
this would work great injury to the lum
bering Interests of his own and neighbor
ing states. If restored, the Piles amend
ment should be enlarged to embrace coal
and other mines in the West, which are
now dependent upon their own short rail
roads to get their product to market.
Owing to the opposition of Bailey and
others, there is slight prospect that the
Piles amendment will be restored.

LETTER FROM PRESIDENT
-
Read Before General Synod of
Reformed Church.
NEW YORK, June 7. A public meeting
was held tonight in the Harlem Collegiate
Reformed Church. In connection with the
100th convention of the Geiftral Synod of
the Reformed Church in America. Rev.
Dr. Edward B. Coe read a letter of regret
from President Roosevelt. He explained
that it was In the Collegiate Church that
President Roosevelt made his confession
of faith In 1S74, and that he had taught in
the Sunday school's mission. The Pres
ident's letter read:
"Permit me to express my great regret
that I am unable to be present at the
centennial session of the General Synod
of the Reformed Church, of which I am
a member, especially as you are to meet
in the Collegiate Church, where I was ad
mitted to membership. I have the heart
iest regard, as I am sure all of us have,
for this old church, which began its ca
reer in what is now the United States at
the very beginning of the settlements.
"I feel that we have yet a great duty to
perform, which we must perform in con
junction with our brethren of other de
nominations. One of the pleasant signs of
the times is the heartiness with which we
have thus far been able to work In co
operation with them. With all good wishes
for a successful gathering, believe me,
sincerely yours.

OUR TRADEWITH CHINA
Ambassador Cheng Discourses Be
fore Cleveland Business Men.
CLEVELAND. June 7. Sir Cheng
Tung Liang Cheng, the Chinese Ambas
sador at Washington, was a guest of
honor and the principal speaker at a
dinner given by the local Chamber of
Commerce today. He paid an eloquent
tribute to the memory of the late Sec
retary of State John Hay. He dwelt at
length on the increasing opportunities
for American commerce in China. He
said in part:
"China and the United States seem
to be admirably situated for close com
mercial relations. With a chain of In
sular possessions extending across the
Pacific, the United States has its trad
ing posts at the very gate of China
Even now the cotton mills of the South
depend upon the China market for the
disposal of their products: for China
takes from the United States more
than half of its total exports of cot
ton manufactures. Even now the mills
of the Northwest find China a good
customer for their flour.
"The commerce between the two coun
tries has steadily grown to its present
proportions In spite of all discourage
ments and restrictions. With a better
understanding of each other's needs
and conditions there is every reason to
believe that the growth will be much
more rapid in the future."

Rejects Conference Report on
Rate Bill.
SENT BACK TO CONFEREES
Numerous Pleas for Liberality With
Passes and for Leaving Loophole
for ' Offenders to Escape
Penalties of Law.
WASHINGTON June 7. After a
day devoted almost exclusively to
the conference report on the rail
road rate bill, the Senate decided at
6 o'clock this evening to send that
measure back to conference. The de
bate covered free passes, the salaries
of the Interstate Commerce and the
penal provisions. There were dif
ferences of opinions ' on all these
points, but the dominant thought
was favorable to sustaining the Sen
ate provisions thereon.
Foraker grave notice that he rould
move to take up the conference re
port on the statehood bill as soon as
the report on the rate bill is dis
posed of. but afterward said he
would probably not make an efTort in
that direction until next Tuesday,
when it is believed that Beverldge.
"who is in charge of the bill, can be
present.
The bill providing for the control
of the waters of Niagara River was
passed.
WASHINGTON, June 7. The Senate to
day sent the rate bill back to conference,
after a debate on iseveral topics, which
ended in the rejection of the conference
report.
Objection was made by Tillman to any
effort to instruct the conferees,' as pro
posed by Hale, who then withdrew his
motion that it was the sense of the Sen
ate that no railroad employes and their
families should be exempt from the anti
pass amendment.
Daniel and Carter opposed stringent
anti-pass legislation, the latter saying
that the Postmaster-General should have
authority to issue passes over every rail
road in the United States to members of
Congress, to afford opportunity to obtain
Information of the railroads.
Want Loophole for Offenders.
Bacon, Lodge and Spooner thought the
word "knowingly" should be retained in
the penal clauses of the bill, while Pat
terson contended that offenses could not
be committed under the law without
knowledge.
Bacon antagonized the proposition to
Increase the salaries of the Interstate
Commerce Commissioners. Spooner advo.
cated liberal remuneration for those offi
cials in the public interest. ,
Patterson advocated stringent anti-pass
legislation, saying that under the present
system the delegates to any convention
of a dominant party will always be found
with pockets full of passes. He also said
that State Legislatures are often largely
controlled by passes, but admitted that
this evil cannot be controlled by inter
state legislation.
La Follette opposed the " retention of
the word "knowingly" In the penal pro
vision, eaying that it would make It
"Impossible to convict any of the higher
railroad ornclals who are in fact respon
sible for the violation of the law." He
urged that railway mail clerks be in
cluded in the excepted class of the pass
provision.
Great Graft in Passes.
Tillman objected that the conferees
could not originate legislation. "They
will take us by the heels, throw us out
and get new conferees," he said. He
declared that $50,000,000 worth of trans
portation is- given away annually. The
questions were further discussed by Mo
Comber and Spooner.

Senator's remarks concerning salary as
directed toward himself. Spooner said he
had not received any salary from a rail
road company for 22 years.
Discussing the necessity for passes to
men in charge of livestock. Warren dis
cussed briefly the agitation concerning
the sanitary conditions at the packing
houses and expressed the opinion that
the .stock industry should not be further
burdened.
Without dividing, the Senate then voted
unanimously not to agree to the report.
The . vote had the effect of sending the
bill back to conference and Tillman, El
kin and Cullom were reappointed con
ferees, with Instructions to insist upon
the Senateamendments.

the House can vote Into the bill the
things most essential to It.
THREAT OF FILIBUSTERING
Williams AVants Vote in Detail on
Statehood Bill.
WASHINGTON. June 7. The leader of
the minority. John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi, discussing the statehood con
ference report in the House today, said:
"If it shall appear that we are to be
forced to swallow the conference report in
gross, either to vote against it altogether
or vote for it altogether, without an op
portunity to amend it. without an oppor
tunity to express opinion on the question,
then we will resume the policy of de
manding that everj constitutional re
quirement shall be complied with- before
any legislation is carried on by this
body."

at White House. ,
MUCKRAKE DISGUSTS HIM
Condemns President for Criticising
Critics Grosvenor Depicts Pres
ident as Democratic Example
Impressive to Old World.
WASHINGTON. June 7. An attack
on and a spirited defense of the
President were the features of a busy
day in the House of Representatives
Brundlge (Ark.) assailing the Items
for the care of the White House
and grounds as grossly extravagant
and In contrast with "past sim
plicity." Grosvenor (O.) championed
the appropriations.
The naval appropriation bill was sent
to conference, the conferees being
Goss (111.), Loudenslager (N. J.) and
Meyer (La.)
A bill was passed extending the act
of March 3. 1901. to officers of the
navy and marine corps advanced at
any time under Sections 1506 and 1605
for conduct in battle.
After completing 25 pages of the
sundry civil bill, the House adjourned.
WASHINGTON. June 7. The House to
day listened to a bitter- arraignment of
the President at the hands of Brundlge
of Arkansas, a member of the appropria
tions committee, who contrasted the ex
penses of the last Cleveland, the McKlnley
and the Roosevelt Administrations.
Under the Cleveland administrations
there was expended for the executive de
partment, including the salary of the
President. $137,200; under the McKlnley
Administration, J144.500 was used, while
the bill under consideration carries for
the executive department, including the
care of the White House, greenhouses,
etc.. 253.340. In addition to this, Brundlge
said that there were 40 policemen detailed
to the White House and grounds, and this
makes an additional 340,000. The total of
nearly $300,000 he denominated as "extrav
agance run mad." He said that he did
not know whether 40 policemen are too
few or too many, but he thought regular
soldiers ought to be detailed to protect
the person of the President, and that
these policemen ought to be sent Into the
sections ot Washington where thugs and
marauders are preying upon women and
children.
Disgusted With Muckrake Speech.
He criticised the item appropriating $25.
000 for the traveling expenses of the Pres
ident, and said It was probably made for
the purpose of providing for a repetition
of the "muckrake" speech. He continued:
As for myself, and I believe also for a
large proportion of the people, we have heard
enough of this muckrake nonsense and tom
foolery, and we are disgusted with It. No
wonder, in view of the present appropria
tions and the present expenditures no won
der the President should hold up to public
ridicule magazines and newspapers of this
country and public men and private citizens
who dare to criticise him.
1 entertain the hope and belief that the
time will never come In the history of pol
itics when any man occupying a position of
public trust 'will rise so high and become
o great that the humblest citizen and the
humblest newspaperman Justly and properly
cannot criticise his official conduct and ac
tions. He spoke of the President's stable and
enlarged on the number of horses there.
Then he spoke of the Mrs. Minor Morris
affair, and the appointment of Assistant
Secretary Barnes to the Postmasters-hip,
showing the high-handed way the Presi
dent conducts his office.
Grosvenor Defends President.
Grosvenor of Ohio replied to Brundlge.
He said:
We are now talking of the beef packing
Industry because there is an odor from it
that Is "offensive to the nostrils of some of
the polite young gentlemen who have been
detailed for the Inspection of those Institu
tions." and at the same time we hear an
assault upon the President's household.
General Grosvenor characterized the at
tack on the President as a relic of an
tiquity. He said it can have no effect
upon the American people. He said, if he
would attempt by an illustrated lecture
to Impress upon the people of the Old
World the absolute domination of plain,
every-day democratic living, and plain,
democratic administration of a govern
ment, he would take them to the White
House, the home of the President, and
show them the every-day life of the pres
ent occupant.
Plain American Citizen.
I would show them his incoming and out
going, and I speak of him now simply as the
type of the American President show him
in his daily walks among his fellow-citizens.
a man, a simple- American citizen without a
single signification of greatness by reason of
his high office, without any insignia or any
extravagance In living the plain American
administrator of the plain American Govern
ment. He said he would point to the Presi
dent's children attending the public
schools; to the President traveling and
commingling with his fellow-citizens
throughout the country. "Whatever criti
cism can be made of our Government, it
has not developed aristocracy and plu
tocracy." Speaking of the appropriation of $25,000
for the President's traveling expenses, he
characterized the criticisms made on It
as "unjustifiable and unfortunate." He
said he had yet to meet a man opposed to
the appropriation.
