CLEAR THE DECKS
IN LAND OFFICES
Ballinger Sends Man to Rose
burg to Work Off Accumu
lation. SURVEYS ARE APPROVED
Land Commissioner Is Induced by
Bourne to Relieve Long-Suffering
Oregon Settlers Open
Much land to Entry.
REGOKTAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, April 16. After a conference' with
and upon the recommendation of Sen
ator Bourne, Land Commissioner Ballin
ger has ordered Special Inspector O'Brien,
of Denver, to proceed to Roseburg and
assist the local land officers in clear
ing up the accumulation of business in
their office. Work has fallen behind
to such an extent that there are now
pending about 700 land cases and contests
awaiting action. When the Roseburg of
fice is straightened out, similar work is
to be done elsewhere in Oregon.
Because of lack of appropriation, the
Commissioner Is unable to Increase the
clerical force of any Oregon land offices,
though he realizes the need of more
clerks to handle the great mass of busi
ness now being transacted. The Com
missioner said .he would do everything
possible to relieve the situation in Ore
gon. He believes he will be able ulti
mately to bring the Oregon work up to
date.
At the further request of Mr. Bourne,
the Commissioner has directed that im
mediate examination be made of all pend
ing public land surveys in Oregon, some
of which have been held up as much as
ten years because of adverse reports of
Inspectors. All surveys found to be cor
rect will be accepted and paid for and,
unless there Is some Important reason
for withholding plats, the land covered
by such surveys will be opened to entry.
Where pending surveys are found to be
erroneous the surveyors will be notified
and be given the option of making cor
rections, so that their contracts may be
closed out and those areas as well thrown
open to entry.
A large number of bona fide settlers Is
enduring hardships by the delay in ap
proving these old contraots. There will
be no more holdups in Oregon on mere
suspicion. Mr. Ballinger will demand evi
dence. CONFERENCE ON LAND LAWS
Governor Buchtel Invites Western
Governors to Join in Call.
'DENVER, April 16. Governor Buch

to the Governors of all the states con
taining publlo land asking them to
Join him In calling a convention to

ington, ROOSEVELT NOT TO REPLY
Labor Slen Want Attack on Moyer
and Haywood Verified.
CHICAGO, April 16. One week hav
ing passed since the Chicago Federation
of Labor sent its telegram to President
Roosevelt, and no answer having been
received, the officials of the federation
will at its meeting tomorrow send a
special .messenger from Chicago to the
White House to ask the Nation's Chief
Executive to verify the language cred
ited to him In referring to Moyer and
Haywood as "undesirable citizens."
During the last week several sessions
of the executive board of the federation
have been held in the hope that an an
swer will be raised from Washington
and the necessity of taking further
action in the matter would be averted.
Moyer and Haywood, to whom refer
ence is made in the communication,
are awaiting trial in Idaho, charged
with the murder of ex-Governor Steun
enberg, and the trial is set for May 9.
WASHINGTON, April 16. No reply
has been made by the President to pro
tests sent him by the Chicago Federa
tion of Labor and the executive com
mittee of the Moyer-Haywood confer
ence at New York, which took excep
tion to his reference to Moyer and
Haywood, the men charged with the
murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg, of
Idaho, as "undesirable citizens." These
words were used in the President's let
ter to Representative Sherman in the
controversy with Mr. Harrlman. It is
not believed the President will make
any answer to the protests regarding
the matter.
CARMEN MAY GO ON STRIKE
Bay City Employes Will Demand
Eight Hours and $3 a Day.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 16. Though
both sides to the controversy refuse
through, their official heads to discuss
it, there Is definite Information that
the streetcar men of San Francisco have
been for some days formulating a re
newed demand for an eight-hour day,
with S per day, to be submitted some
time before the first of next month,
and that the United Railroads is pre
paring to resist a serious strike, if that
should be the outcome.
The award made recently to platform
men by the board of arbitration In set
tlement of last year's violent dispute
expires May li It was unsatisfactory
to the men. It is stated that it was
as much to anticipate industrial trou
ble as to meet the immediate re
sults of the municipal bribery graft
investigations" that President Patrick
Calhoun, of the United Railroads, cams
on from New York last week.
The meeting of the Carmen's Union
tonight did not take any action regard-
in the contemplated demand tor
higher wages. It was stated that no
move in this direction would be made
until the men receive the $150,000 back
pay due them under the award of the
recent arbitration committee. This
money will tall due April 28, and the
agreement between the union and the
United Railroads does not expire until
May 1.
OPERATORS KEEP VP FIGHT
Telegraphers Not Satisfied With De
cision by Arbitration Board.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 1. The or-
fler ot Railway Telegraphers has filed
Jo U United States Circuit Court ex
ceptions to portions in the decision
come to by the board of arbitration
that received testimony regarding the
differences between the telegraphers
and the Southern Pacific Company as
to wages and hours
There were four points considered by
the arbitrators, and tw of these were
decided against the telegraphers. The
first was as to whether the order of
Railway Telegraphers should legislate
for the train dispatchers respecting
rates of pay, hours of service or other
wise. The arbitrators decided that
they should not. The other point de
cided against the telegraphers was the
elimination from operation of the
schedule to be adopted.
The telegraphers. In protesting
against the award respecting these two
points, claim that the testimony was
not properly taken, some being left
out that should have been admitted,
and some being taken that did not re
late to the questions under considera
tion. Judge Van Fleet will Consider the
matter and will render a decision. If
he favors the railway company the
telegraphers will have nothing to do
but submit. If the reverse, the work
done by the board of arbitration will
be nullified.
Miners Strike In Alberta.
HELENA. Mont., April 16. A Tribune
special from Lethbridge says 150 miners
employed by the Coal & Coke Company
of Spokane at the company mines at
Coleman, Alberta, struck today for a 10
per cent increase in pay and a semi
monthly payday. The strike is in viola
tion of the recently passed trades-dispute
law of Canada, which provides for the ar
rest and punishment of every man who
strikes without first submitting his griev
ances to a conciliation board. Other
mines will probably be affected.
ALTON ROAD TO PAY FINE
APPEAL COURT . AFFIRMS SEN
TENCE FOR REBATING.
Wheelage Charge Paid Packing
Company Mere Device to Grant
Lower Rate.
CHICAGO. April 16. The United
States Court of Appeals today affirmed
the conviction in the District Court of
the Chicago & Alton Railroad and J. M.
Falthorn and Fred A. Wann, former
officials of the road, for granting re
i ates.
Ti;e company and the ') ofn.-lals
vcrc found guilty liist ysar and an
aggregate fine of $60,000 was imposed.
The railroad company was fined $40,000
and the two officials $10,000 each.
The conviction of the defendants fol
lowed the prosecution by the Govern
ment which alleged that rebates
had been" granted to SchwarzschUd &
Sulzberger in the shipment of meats.
The rebates were said to havo been
paid to t o packing onu-any under the
guise of refund of terminal charges,
the amount being $1 on each car for
the use of the tracks of the packing
company in getting the cars of freight
out from the packing houses to the
main line of the Alton road.
In its opinion, the appellate court
declares:
"Rentals upon the basis of wheelage
are objectionable if the parties have en
tered into a contract which in all other
respects Is lawful. Schwarschlld &
Sulzberger received back a part of the
money they paid the road for freight, but
this does not prove that the transaction
constituted a rebate within the definition
ot the statute. If the full rate is paid,
either in money or In money's worth, the
parties cannot be guilty of .rebating.
These considerations oompel the court
to the conclusion that the Judgment ot
the lower court cannot be sustained ex
cept by holding that the contract be
tween Schwarschlld S Sulzberger ana
the Alton road was' illegal and void.
The trouble in this case comes from
the fact that the railroad.dld not take a
lease of the tracks of the packing com
pany for the purpose of discharging its
undertakings as an interstate common
carrier. The arrangement between the
two corporations was therefore a device
whereby the produce of the packing com
pany was transported at a cost of $19 per
car while the other shippers were pay
ing $20."
The court excludes from the case as not
belns- within the issues the question of the
right of a railroad company to render
creator service or to lurnisn greater la-
cilities to one shipper than to another for
the same published charge, xne UBUe in
this case is the right to furnish the same
or more at a less price. . In concluding.
the court said:
The arrangement that existed between
the two companies cannot for'reasons of
public policy be based lawfully on division
of rates, or in any other way be connect
ed with, or affect the rate-making func
tion of the railroad company. The agree
ment as it existed, therefore, was illegal
and the Judgment ot the lower court must
be affirmed.
WILL TEST THE 16 -HOUR LAW
Montana Holds It Valid; Railroads
Will Ignore It.
BUTTE, Mont., April 16. A Helena
Bpeclal to the Miner states that Attorney-General
Albert J. Galen in an
opinion rendered today states that he
holds the recent enactment by the
Legislature of the statute limiting the
hours ot employment of railway em
ployes to 16 hours to be valid. Wil
liam Wallace. Jr., counsel for the
Northern Pacific, has served notice
upon the Board ot Railway Commis
sioners that the company will Ignore
the new statute. Mr. Galen has ad
vised the Commissioners to at once be
gin a test case against the railways.
STANDARD DODGES TAXES
Has $40,000,000 at Whiting, hut
Pays on $8,000,000.
CHICAGO, April 16. Taxing authorities
of Lake County, Indiana, have Instigated
an action against the Standard Oil Com
pany of Whiting as a result of investiga
tions in charge of County Assessor Wil
liam B. Black and his assistant. Towns
Assessor Bert Escher, ot Hammond.
They have discovered, they say, that
the company for four years has seques
tered millions of dollars worth of valua
ble property from tax duplicates. It is
estimated by the officials that the Stand
ard Oil Company should be paying taxes
on $40,000,000 worth of property when it is
assessed on the tax duplicates for only
$3,000,000 worth.
The Standard, they say. has evaded
payment of taxes on eighty-one bouses,
built four years ago which It rents to
employes. Millions of barrels of oil are
stored in great steel tanks and there Is
improved property along the Pennsylva
nia tracks amounting to $1,000,000. The
Standard has been paying $50,000 a year
when it should have paid ten times that
amount, the tax officers claim.

BORAH

PLOT OF ENEMIES
Tells Bonaparte That Friends
of Accused Federationists
Cause Indictment.
RUICK GOING TO CAPITAL
Denied at White House Borah Ap
pealed to Roosevelt to Prevent
Indictment Bonaparte Will
Review the Whole Case.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April 16. It was emphatically
denied at the White House today that
Senator Borah had appealed to. the
President to prevent his indictment or,
in case an indictment has been found,
to prevent its return. According to
an official close to the President, no
appeal has been made by Mr. Borah.
A statement published here today
charged that Mr. Borah was seeking
the President's protection and that the
President was much perplexed by rea
son thereof.
After a conference with the President
today, Attorney-General Bonaparte in
timated that he would soon have in his
possession the facts regarding Mr. Bo
rah's indictment and he believed he
would thoroughly understand the whole
matter by the end of the week, from
which it is Inferred that he will get
an explanation from District Attorney
Rulck on his arrival.
It Is understood that Mr. Borah In-
Louis W. Hill, New President of
Great Northern Railway Co.
formed the Attorney-General that his
Indictment Is the result of a plot put
up by friends of the men charged with
ex-Governor Steunenberg's murder. If
this charge is sustained, it will go hard
with the men behind It. unless they
can prove their charges. While the
President will not protect any man who
is guilty, it is not believed that he
will stand by and permit Russian meth
ods to triumph in this country.

DIG TUNNEL, THEN GET RIGHT
Harrlman Road Anxious to Begin
Work on Entrance Into Seattle.
SEATTLE. Wash., April 16. Special.)
The Oregon & Washington, Harriroan's
Puget Sound extension, has applied to
the Board of Publlo Works for permis
sion to begin work on the tunnel the
Harrlman system will build under the
city. The franchise application ot the
road was made to the City Council last
night, and the Harrlman Bystem ' asks
permission to begin work on Its tunnel
before a Council committee can act upon
the application. It Is proposed to begin
the bore at onoe. if the Board of Public
Works will permit it, and worry over
the matter with the Council afterward.
The city is to build a municipal jail
and hospital along the line of the Har- ,
riman tunnel, and it is essential that
the tunnel be constructed beyond that
Doint Immediately to demonstrate wheth- :
er there will be any damage to the city (
building. For that reason municipal au
thorities are likely to Ignore the Coun
cil's prerogative and grant the permit.
The preliminary work will probably be
completed before the franchise is acted
upon.
BIG HAUL B HIGHWAYMEN

Looking Into Revolver's Muzzle, He
Tamely Hands Over Package
and Robbers Escape.
ST. PAUI April 16. A bandit held up
the Northern Paciflo Express Company's
Union depot office tonight and compelled
the clerk to open the safe and give him a
package containing 125,000. tie escaped.
At 10:30 o clock tonight an accomplice
of the robber called at the office and
caused one of the clerks to step outside.
Fred Zimmerman, the clerk, soon after
ward found himself confronted by a
masked robber, who aimed & pistol at his
head. Zimmerman obeyed a command to
hold up his hands.
The robber then removed a revolver
from one of Zimmerman's pockets and
commanded him to open the safe. The
clerk obeyed and handed out the package
of currency, which was to go to Duiutn
on the midnight train. After receiving
the bulkv envelope, the robber backed
out of the office, first commanding Kim-
merman to turn his face to the wall and
to remain in that position for ten minutes
under pain of death. Both bandits
escaped.

The operator at Chllpancingo reports

Chllpancingo in Ruins.
Up to 4 o'clock this morning the shocks
continued with more or less severity in
the vicinity of Chllpancingo, destroying
some of the most Important public build
ings. The hospitals, schools and Jails
are In ruins. The prisoners from the
Jail were placed under guard by the
rurales.
Up to this .time the total number of
deaths reported is 88, and the wounded
93. However, in view of the later re
ports, it is thought these figures will
fall far short of the real number of
fatalities.
Ocean Engulfs Acapulco.
It is reported that Acapulco is partly
submerged by great waves. On the first
shock the harbor took on the appear
ance of a typhoon-swept ocean. Just
how much of the port has been sub

says that "the houses as far as the
church are under water." A number of
ships were in the harbor at the time.
It Is said ail escaped.
Reports from nearly all the large cities
in the southern part of the republic have
now been received and, although many of
these places felt the shock severely, no
loss of life has been reported, and the
property loss is Insignificant.
News is anxiously awaited from the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec, where it is
feared the earthquake may have done
much damage.
