Senator Sees Politics in Delay

OUBGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. D. C.. Nov. 2S. Senator Dubois
declares that the Administration played
politics in creating new forest re
serves in Idaho, and attributes his own
defeat to the fact that the proclamations
creatine these reserves were held back
until after the election. Had the reserves
been created prior to the election, Mr.
Dubois declares it would have resulted
In the election of a Legislature that would
have returned him to the Senate.
Mr. Dubois approves the creation of
reserves. In fact will urge that the Lem

Lemhi forest reserve next Spring, but
he severely condemns the manner in
which the reserves were created. He
admits, however, that all forestry em

Mr. Dubois feels that after his support

Important Point Vndeciiled About
Withdrawal of Coal Land.
ORKUONIAN NEWS BURKAU. Wash
ington. D. C. Nov. 2K. The Interior De
partment now has under consideration the
uuestion of whether or not the recent
withdrawal from entry of all coal land in
Alaska will be rctroactivg and affect land
upon which tilings have been made but
v lilch have net yet been iwitenled. or
whether it shall merely apply to public
coal land not yet cncumlred in any man
ner. Very few co:il entries in Alaska
have yet beer, patented, though hundreds
of filings on valuable land have been
made with a view to obtaining title and
developing coal deposits.
If. as Secretary Hitchcock advised, the
President's order of withdrawal bo con
strued to prevent the issuance of pat
ents to iersons who have already tiled on
coal land. It will practically put a stop
to development of coal in all parts of
Alaska and will seriously hinder work
that is under way of several new rail
roads, some of which are being built
largely to permit the opening of coal de
posits In the Interior. Much depends on
the decision reached by the department.

Former Astoria n Secures Liberty
Through Ambassador's Mediation.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 28. Theo
dore Smith, a naturalized American
citizen of Astoria. Or., has arrived in
St. Petersburg', having1 been released
on bail from the prison at Pskov, in
the Baltic provinces, where he has

manifesto of October 30, 1305, grant
ing a constitution to Russia and am
nesty to political exiles, but was ar
rested for sedition at the height of the
revolutionary agitation in December
last, and narrowly escaped being shot.
Later Smith was placed on trial be
fore a court-martial, but owing to the
intercession of the American Embassy
the government decided to try htm be
fore a civil. Instead of a military court.
As announced at the time, the officials
of the Embassy were gratified with
the result, as Smith's paper was ir
regular, though it was established that
he lived several years in the United
States.

TEN DEAD; MANY INJURED
Frenzied With Terror, 500 Men
Rush ' to Streets Many Leap
From Windows and Break
Bones in Fall. ,
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2S. The Lighthouse
Hotel, a three-story structure on the
northwest corner of Ninth and Market
streets, utilized as a Salvation Army
barracks, was damaged by fire early
tod&y, when probably 500 homeless men
were lodged in it. Ten lost their live
and probably J3 were injured, about half
that number being seriously injured, some
not being expected to live. Four were
burned to death and two died from in
juries received in jumping from upper
windows. Six others of those who jumped
are lying unconscious at the City Hos
pital, and are not expected to recover.
The fire started on the first floor and
swept through the old building rapidly.
Men fought at the windows to secure
the life lines and slide to the streets,
but so great was the frenzy with which
the ropes were seized and held that they
were o little avail, and those who could
not escape by the stairway leaped from
the windows. A large number of those
who jumed were caught in nets, but
many jumped before the nets were
stretched and were injured. There was
but one stairway, and the panic-stricken
men surged down this only to find the
street door locked. A jam resulted, and
probably greater loss of life would have
occurred had not firemen promptly burst
the door open, permitting the frenzied
men to pour out Into the street. Three
months ago the Salvation Army bar
racks at the corner of Eighth and Wal
nut streets was destroyed by lire and
one man was killed. The dead: "

John Butler. 59. ,
Watchman O'Connell. who was sta
tioned on the first floor, discovered the
tire.
He went to the clothes' closet and,
upon opening the door, a sheet of flame
belched forth. O'Connell gave the alarm
and hurried around, waking up the sleep
ing inmates.
At every window could be seen the
forms of half-naked men, calling to the
firemen in terror, and a few moments
later leaping from the burning building
to be crushed on the sidewalk below.
Life lines, fastened at windows, provided
means of escape for scores of the 500
lodgers.
Terror took possession of the men. and
a number of them started to run in the
streets as soon as they escaped from the
building. Thinly clad, the frenzied men
ran madly until they were caught and
taken in ambulances to places of warmth.
Many of them were taken to No. 6
engine-house nearby. Dozens were sick
from the- effect of smoke and gas in
haled. Some of the men. apparently not hurt
at all, were crying abjectly and were
not able to tell what was the matter
with them.
Many Locked In Basement.
About 85 men were crowded into the
basement, sleeping, when the fire was
discovered. They were unable to get out,
as the door was locked. Their cries at
tracted the attention of policemen, and
the basement door was broken in. The
men poured out of the basement like rats
from a trap.
The firemen called to those in tho win
dows not to jump until the nets could be
stretched, but all to little avail, for as
the flames roared nearer the windows,
men jumped, and would pile up, crushed
and unconscious, below.
The fire swept through the second and
third floors, and damaged the structure
to the estimated extent of $2500. It was
an old building. The cause of the fire
has not been ascertained. The seriously
injured were taken to the City Hospital
and two died there. These two had
jumped from the windows of the hotel,
and six others, all of whom were among
those who had jumped from upper win
dows, lie unconscious at the hospital and
are not expected to live. , r

no lamps or other burning lights were

fire originated from a lighted cigar or
cigarette stub carelessly cast aside by
one of the Inmates.

LABOR HAMPERS PROGRESS
Famine of Workers Troubles Work
of Federal Irrigation.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, ov. 29. Mr. F. H. Newell, Chief
Engineer of the Reclamation Service, has
returned from an inspection trip, having
examined the condition of construction
work in North Dakota. Montana, Idaho,
Washington. Oregon. California, Arizona
and New Mexico. Mr. Newell said this
morning:
"In general the work is progressing
favorably, and construction has reached
a point where results can be seen. The
chief drawback at the present time is
the difficulty of securing competent la
borers. Men who can be had for this
Western work are, as a rule, restless
and rarely stay more than a few days
or weeks at any one point. They travel
from job to job. staying just long enough
to get well fed and accumulate a few
dollars, then leave for the next place.
The large amount of railroad construc
tion, as well as the number of contracts
under way with the Reclamation Service,
makes it possible for laborers to strike
a new job wherever they stop."
"A contractor having on an average a
thousand men at work will have on his
payroll for the month - from 2000 to 3000
names. There is a small army of labor
ers tramping backwards and forwards
along each railroad line, the greater part
at present being headed, of course, for
California and the Southwest In general.
"The difficul'y in obtaining and holding
good labor and the increase in the cost
of materials have resulted in putting out
of business a number of smaller contrac
tors and sub-contractors, espegially those
who took their contracts six months or a
year ago. The outloo- is also so uncer
tain that It Is extremely difficult for
contractors to bid with any degree of
confidence, and hence there are very few
proffers for future work. This condition
holds not only for the Reclamation Ser
vice but also for the railroads. On one
extension four different contractors In
succession have ihrown up the work dur
ing a period of six months.
"The largest work of the Reclamation
Service now in hand Is the Roosevelt
dam in Arizona, the foundation of which
is now in and is approaching the river
level. If the floods in the Salt River
do not occur for a month or two the
foundations, which cover about an acre
in extent, will be above water level.
"The Laguna dam on the Colorado
river, 12 miles above Yuma, Is being
successfully pushed by J. G. "White &
Co. of New York City, and its success
is now assured through the closing "of
the break in the Colorado River some 30
miles below on Mexican territory. The
'gap was closed by the Southern Pacific
Company after weeks of great exertion
and the expenditure of many hundreds of
thousands of dollars.

Of the choicest oil land locations in the fabulously rich oil and coal region known as the Kayak District,
embracing lands on Bering River, Bering Lake, Katalla Bay and Controller Bay, Alaska
Some of onr holdings are at tidewater; other holdings will be reached by the railroad now building,
20 miles of which will be in operation before snow flies in 1907. This road passes over a portion of our
lands on the west shore of Bering Lake.
Several thousand acres of our land adjoins the lands, of the millionaire Cudahy people, and other of
our lands adjoin those of the English syndicate owners of the famous big gusher, which threw an 8-inch
stream of oil 110 feet in the air for three days before it could be capped whereby stock in the company
jumped from 16 cents to $10 a share over night thus showing an instant profit of b21-2 for one.
MILLIONS IfN COAL
We are in the very midst of the richest coal fields on earth coal fields that will, in a few years,
produce millions of dollars' worth of the best grade of anthracite and semi-bituminous coking coal.
Read the following brief extract from the report of Professor George C. Martin, who, with a large
force of men, spent several years in this wonderfully rich oil and coal region as geological expert for the
United States Government:
"The Bering River coal field covers an area of about 70 square miles, including 25 miles of anthracite
and 43 miles of semi-anthracite or semi-bituminous coking coal. The seams are numerous 'and very large;
several exceed 20 feet in thickness'. The average quality of the Bering River coal is excellent, several of
the seams being remarkably low in both ash and sulphur. Bering River coal is not now available for sale
in any market, but there are prospects that transportation will soon be provided to tidewater on Controller
Bay, Katalla Bay and Prince William Sound. It ought to be put into the San Francisco and other Pacific.
Coast markets at a cost far below that of Eastern coal, in which case it should have no difficulty in entirely
supplanting the latter. . . . These coals are the .equivalent of the Pocahontas, New River and Georges
Creek coals of the East, and are eminently adapted for use on warships and other purposes for which a
high-grade, pure, smokeless steaming coal is required, and for these purposes will command a considerably
higher price than any coal now being mined on the Pacific Coast." (Report of Professor (J. C. Martin,
Bulletin No. 284, pages 20-26, U. S.'Geological Survey.)
For the purpose of providing funds for the early development of our large and valuable holdings, the
Anglo-American Oil & Coal Co. will sell a limited number of shares of its treasury stock at bedrock tign'res.
Stock is fully paid and non-assessable. Each and every share stands upon an equal basis and will all par

ST. tOUIS. Nov. 2S. The Federal grand
jury today returned two indictments, with
a total of Ti counts, against the Waters
Pierce Oil Company, charging the com
pany with having accepted rebates and
discriminated in legal freight rates on

terstate commerce law and the Klkins
act.
The indictments charge the Waters

rates on shipments of oil over the Mis
souri Pacific and Southern Pacific lines
from St. Louis to Alexandria. La., and to
11 specified points beyond.
If the company Is convicted on all
counts in the indictments, the aggregate
maxrmum penalties that may be collected
are $1,526,000.
It is charged in the Indictments that the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company is a subsid
iary corporation of the Standard Oil Com

In a statement prepared by Herbert
Knox Smith. Deputy Commissioner of
Corporations at Washington, and made
public today by UnitedVStates District
Attorney Dyer, it Is asserted that the in
dictments are returned upon facts discov
ered by James P.. Garfield, Commissioner
of Corporations, and published by him in
his annual report of May 2, 11K)6. Mr.
Garfield's report was submitted to Con
gress by President Roosevelt and in turn
was referred to the Department of Justice
for action.
One of the indictments, taking up 21
counts, each of which alleges a separate
and distinct violation of the law, charges
that the Waters-Pierce Company at stated
times shipped carloads of oil from St.
Louis to Alexandria, La., at less than the
lawful rate, using the lines of the Mis
