OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Oct. 24. While Secretary
Boot is considering John Barrett as a
possible Ambassador to Brazil, the
diplomats of Central and South Amer
ica are debating among themselves
whether or not to elect Mr. Barrett
director of the Bureau of American
5tepublics.
At the recent conference at Rio
Janeiro, attended by Mr. Root, a gen
eral desire was shown by delegates
from the Republics south of us to es
tablish closer relations with the United
Stats and the plan was heartily ap
proved by Mr. Root. It was then con
feded that the best means of bring
ing about more Intimate relations was
through the Bureau of American Re
publics, but it was likewise conceded
that before any effective work could
be accomplished the bureau would
have to be reorganized.
American to Head Bureau.
The United States, being the great
, est Republic Interested, is in reality
entitled to the principal office In the
bureau, but Mr. Root did not feel dis
posed to urge the claim of this Govern
ment for fear of offending the smaller
Republics. It is beginning to be under
stood, however, that an American must
necessarily be at the nead and Mr. Bar
rett la mentioned by many diplomats
because of his familiarity with condi
tions in Central ,and South America
and because of his wide acquaintance
amonsr tne leading citizens of these
Republics. Mr. Barrett has championed
tneir cause since his return to the
United States and his recent magazine
article has brought forth still further
commendation.
While he is making no campaign for
election as director of the bureau, Mr.
Barrett would probably accept if it
came to him unsolicited.
Barrett Fittest Man.
The State Department believes Mr.
Barrett admirably fitted for this posi
tion and officials declare that, it
elected, he will restore the bureauto
Its former dignity and usefulness and
make It instrumental in arousing mu
tual interest among various countries
represented. The President and Sec
retary Root are both anxious that clos
er relations shall be established with
the Republics of Central and South
America and both would gladly see
Mr. Barrett chosen to undertake this
Important duty. The office is not un
der the control of President Roosevelt,
Vnut Is filled by election of the govern
ing board of the bureau, representing
all countries Interested.
It is by no means certain that Mr.
Barrett will not he made Ambassador
to Brazil, but if it becomes apparent
that there is general demand for his
election as director of the Bureau of
American Republics some other man
will be sent to Brazil.

Heney regards the payment of $10,000 by

the Liquor Dealers' Association, was paid
this amount to square the matter with the

It has also developed that $2S.0OO was

Says Rurf Got One-Tenth.
Maestretti charged in writing this month
that one-tenth of the amount of the bills
presented to the Board of Public Works
had to be pa:d to a certain person, whom
he did not name. His language, however,
made It appear that the person to whom
the vast tithes went was Ruef. Maestretti
also let It be known that he could tell a
preat deal more, and he has given Heney
and Burns some valuable leads.
Reagan has told Heney of a plan Mayor

ARB AFTER HEXEY'S SCALP.
Boy City Grafters Plot to Have Proa
ecutor Removed From Office.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 34 Eighteen of
the 19 men to compose the new grand jury
which is to Investigate charges of alleged
corruption In the municipal administration
and before whom It Is exoected that
Francis J. Heney and Secret Serviic
Agent W. J. Burns will present evidence
of alleged graft and malfeasance In office
en the part of some municipal officers,
were selected today under the supervision
of Judge Thomas F. Graham, presiding
Judge of the Superior Court. Twelve more
Lames were drawn from the jury box and
subpenaed to appear before Judge Graham
tomorrow, when the last man to complete
the grand jury will be selected.
Interest today centered in the selection
of the new grand jury and in the action
of Abe Ruef. the alleged political dictator
of this city, who is making good his in
timation that he would strike back at
some of those whom he terms his enemies.
Ruef swore to a wartant- in the Police
Court, charging R. A. Crothers. editor of
the Bulletin, with criminal libel.
The charge is based on an article pub
lished in the Bulletin on October 5. in
which It is set forth that Ruef was con
spiring -with certain interests in the pur
chase of a municipal water - supply for
the city, for which he was to receive a
large sum of money.
Ruef intimates that there will be some
sensational developments in a few days,
and declares that the coming week will be
an interesting one to the public. He said
that in a few days he expected to be in a
position to expose a systematic attempt
on the part of certain people and inter
est to put him out of business.
Although it was persistently rumored
today that the administration ie planning
to remove District Attorney Langdon
from office, and thus be in a position to
dismiss Assistant District Attorney F. J.
Heney, no move indicating such intention
has yet been made by the administration.
That this has been under consideration,
however. Acting Mayor Gallagher admit
ted today, but he eaid that no .definite
conclusion had teen reached. Under the
charter, the Mayor cannot remove an
elected officer, and can only recommend
Langdon's removal to the Board of Super
visors should Langdon refuse to resign If
his resignation be demanded.

Federal Grand Jury at Lob Angeles
Digs Ueep Into Rebates to Fur
niture MenMay Indict
Both Parties.
L09 ASTGELE3, Cal.. Oct. 24. United
tates District Attorney Lawler and the
Federal Grand Jury at 10 o'clock this
morning resumed Investigation of the
charges that the. Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany is guilty of rebating in freight
charges to certain furniture implement
dealers in this city.
Judge Olin Wellborn,' of the United
State District Court, decided late
yesterday afternoon that the rail
road company must produce their freight
books in court on subpena. Attorneys for
the corporation resisted this action, and
consumed nearly ,the whole day yesterday
In argument before the court in an en
deavor to show that a corporation, like an
individual, was entitled to immunity, and
could not be compelled to furnish evidence
asainet Itself. The court,, however, ruled
to the contrary.
The decision stated that a corpora
tion could not avail itself of provisions
of law enacted solely for the pro
tection of individuals. The book9 will,
accordingly be produced in court when
wanted. Indictments will be sought un
der the Elklns law, not only against the
railroad company, but also the firms and
individuals alleged to have received the
rebates. It Is asserted that the Southern
Pacific and possibly' the Salt Lake Rail
road will be drawn into the investigation
The mass of papers was guarded "by
two armed United States Deputy Mar
shals. Deputies also guarded the doors
and prevented any of the witnesses from
being interviewed. A reporter who en
deavored to gain information from them
was threatened with contempt of court
proceedings.
Among the witnesses were heads of sev
eral of the large furniture stores of the
city and two or three railroad officials. It
was stated that the District Attorney had
also subpenaed several former employes of
the furniture companies who would be
likely to have information of the freight
rates.
PIAX AXTIDOTE FOR TRUSTS
Farmers in Congress Discuss Meth
ods of Co-Operation.
TOPBKA. Kan.. Oct. 24 Plans for op
posing the packing companies and the
commission dealers were discussed at the
meetings of the Farmers' National Co
operative Congress today.
Schemes to be used to break the force
of the packing trust, so-called, were de
cided upon and probably will be put Into
execution. One is that the members of
the congress will try to cure the majority
of the meat they use themselves, and also
will cure meats for the market. The
other ,plan is to- have an agent in each
county who will handle all the stock of
the members and ship to another agent at
the market, who will sell direct to the
packing-house. There is -no intention to
build a co-operative packing-house.
The farmers ' have a grievance also
against the fruit commission dealers, and
an effort will be made to organize the
union in fruitgrowing sections.
Today's session was devoted to a gen
eral discussion of co-operative plans and
much sentiment was manifested in favor
of the Government ownership of rail
roads. A resolution urging Congress to
take steps to have the states as well as
the Nation adopt more stringent pure
food laws was passed. A committee to
deal with this subject was named.
A committee was appointed this after-

PREPARIXG SPOKANE'S CASE.
Attorney 'Will Flsht Claim to Pacific
Terminal Rates.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Oct. 24. R. M. Stephens, of Spo
kane, counsel for the shippers of his city,
is here gathering data at the Interstate
Commerce Commission in support of the
protest that has been filed with the com
mission charging transcontinental rail
roads with discrimination against Spokane
and in favor of Portland and Puget Sound
ports on freight from Eastern points. The
railroads have not yet made answer to
the complaint filed by Spokane, but when
they do Mr. Stephens expects to appear
and push Spokane's case. Speaking of
the freight situation at Spokane, Mr. Ste
phens said:
"The cities on the Pacific Coast have
been built up at the expense of those In
land, such as Spokane. Our jobbers have
been limited in their competition with Ta
coma. Seattle and Portland. For this rea
son all the people of the Northwest wel
comed the rate law. and will now seek
relief under Its provisions. The roads
claim that water competition is the cause
of lower rates to the seaboard cities. We
reply that they can give us better rates
and still make a big profit. They are
fighting for the great trade that is being
emptied out of the Northwest into Alaska
and the Orient."

.' Mr. J. B. Cooper of Scotts
ville, Ark., who wasted
away from 180 pounds to 150
pounds in a few months,
praises Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey for restoring his
health.
It required only two bot
tles to effect a cure and in
crease his weight 10 pounds,
according to his own state
ment, written June 6, 1906,
which follows:
"During my seventeen years as &
salesman of general merchandise I
have lost about six months' time only
until recently, when I contracted a
fcevere attack of bronchitis, which made
me feel as though I had consumption.
"I had been bothered with a slight
cough for eight or nine months. I
lost in weight, from ISO to 1.S0 pounds.
My doctor recommended Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey as the best cure for
consumption, so I decided to try it. and
after using two bottles sweetened with
rock candy, I gained ten pounds in
two weeKS.
"It certainly does all the doctor told
me it would do. and is the most effec
tive tonic and stimulant I have ever
taken. The doctor had me order some
of It for his patients, so you can see
what he thinks of it."
Respectfully yours,
