Government Hastens to Fill AH Its
Depots President Elliott Says the
Shortage Xext 'Winter Will Be
Worse Than Last Year.
WASHINGTON, June 1J. Strenuous
measure! have been adopted by the
Government and by the railroads to
avert & fuel famine In the West and
Northwest, which is thought to be Im
pending next Winter. Howard Elliott,
president of the Northern Paciflo, re
cently wired to Commissioner Lane of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
suggesting the probability of a fuel
famine in the West and Northwest
1 next Winter that might exceed in its
serious possibilities the famine of last
Winter. He advised that every effort
be made by the commission to Induce
consumers to lay in supplies of coal
during the Summer months, pending
the movement of the crops in the early
Autumn.
Commissioner Lane Immediately
took up the matter with Secretaries
Garfield and Taft, urging that coal
supplies at all depots of the Govern
ment be put in at as early a date as
possible. The subject was considered
at the last cabinet meeting held be
fore President Roosevelt left Washing
ton, and it was decided that the sug
gestion be adopted.
Secretary Garfield wrote to Commis
sioner Lane, in response to a letter
which the Commissioner had written
him on the subject, his letter contain
ing this paragraph:
I beg to acknowledge your letter of Jane
T. with the IncloBure from the president of
the Northern Pacific. His suggestion regarding-
fuel Is an admirable one, and should be
acted on by the department.
Commissioner Lane has received
from B. T. Staunton, chairman of the
ICallroad Commission of Montana, a
circular which the Commission has is
sued respecting an investigation into
the subject of the coal supply now in
sight and to be available for the use
of citizens of Montana during the Win
ter months of 1907 and 1908. The In
quiry shows that a coal Shortage ex
ceeding that of the past Winter is
not only possible, but probable, unless
steps are taken to avert it, and the
Commission advises the people to put
in their 'supplies of coal at the earliest
possible date.
Commissioner Lane has been advised
that the city of Los Angeles, Cai., has
made arrangements to put In a full
supply of coal during the early Sum
mer months, and he has learned that
the railrods of the West and North
west are placing at their various sup
ply depots all the coal they can store
conveniently.

OREGON1AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash

Portland, who was last week appointed
midshipman at Annapolis Naval Acad

Since then Jones' original appointee
lias failed, and Blagen becomes elig
ible. He is now at Annapolis waiting
to take the physical examination. If
he passes, he will be admitted at once.
It Is now too late for Senator Bourne

THEIR SCHEME IS UPSET
(Continued From First Page.)
Inunendo he was accused of attempting
to defeat the purposes of the convention
by Issuing tickets to supporters of the ad
ministration, who were not accredited
delegates.
Ample opportunity was given the dele
rates to the public lands convention today
to air their grievances regarding the reg
ulations and restrictions on the use of the
public lands enforced by the Federal De
partments and to set forth their views
as to the policy which the Government
should adopt on these questions. All res
olutions introduced were referred to
sub-committee of the committee on reso
lutions, consisting of Frank H. Short, of
California: Clarence B. Douglass, of Ok
lahoma: E. W. Ross, of Washington, Pat-
rk-k Sullivan, cf Wyoming, and S. Luna,
of New Mexleo.
CViniressman Robert W. Bonynge, of
Colorado, who discussed the Government's
public land policy, said it was not In ac
cordance with the Constitution or with
the history of the administration of the
law for the Government to hold control
of a large area of land for an indefinite
tierlod. Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana,
read a paper In which he severely criti
cised the withdrawal oi coal lands rrom
entry.'
Congressman F- W. Mondell attacked
the President's public land policy, which
he characterised as Government landlord
ism.
There was a demand from some of the
delegates at the conclusion of Mr. Mon-
dell's address that some of those from
"the other side" be heard, and the chair
man called upon General Irving Hale, of
this stnte. General Hale spoke of the
great' Importance of preserving the tim
STEAMER LINE IS CHARGED
HAMBURG-AMERICAN C03IPANT
BEFORE COMMISSION.
Rival Says German Liners Divert
AVestward Freight to Their Ves
sels In Restraint of Trade.
NEW TORK, June The reply of
the Hamburg-American Steam Packet
Company to the charges preferred before
the Interstate Commerce Commission by
Peter Wright & Sons, will, it is under
stood, be in the nature of a general
denial that a combination in restraint
of trade exists between the defendant
and allied lines.
Emll L, Boas, agent in this country
of the Hamburg-American line, tonight
said: . .
"Most of these charges are so wild
and reckless that It seems almost in
credible they should form the basis of
a statement submitted to a judicial body
like the Interstate - Commerce Commis
sion. It is to be noted that Messrs.
Peter Wright & Sons, who are them
selves agents of foreign steamships,
wish to appear as representing American
interests. Their line, the Cosmopolitan
Steamship Company, is American In
name only. It is actually only a name
for Mr. Heckscher, the Danish ship own
er in Copenhagen.
According to the complaint, the Hamburg-American
Packet Company has built
up a complete monopoly of the eastbound
traffic originating in Chicago, St. Louis.
Kansas City, Omaha, Minneapolis, D-u-luth,
Cleveland and other manufacturing
centers of the United States.
The allegation Is made that foreign cor
porations, backed by the German govern
ment, dictate terms, routes and rates to
shippers all over the United States who
forward goods to Baltic points, divert to
and from American ports at their own will
without regard to the natural flow of
trade and use coercive and unlawful
methods to crush competition.
MAKE REPLY TO COMPLAINT
Agent of Accused Line Calls Charge
Wild and Reckless.
WASHINGTON. June 19. The In
terstate Commerce Commission today
decided to Institute a proceeding of in
quiry and investigation Into the af
fairs of the Hamburg-American Packet
Company, which Is charged by Peter"
Wright & Sons, general agents at
Philadelphia of the Cosmopolitan Ship
ping Company and the Cosmopolitan
lines, with polling and maintaining
monopolies In restraint of trade. The
inquiry Is expected to be one of the
most stupendous ever undertaken and
of a character different from any that
ever before has engaged the attention
of the commission. The Inquiry will
have to deal with an alleged combina
tion between railroads In the United
States and the German shipping con
cern, and therefore interests every
American manufacturer or shipper de
siring to Introduce hlsgoods to foreign
consumers.

Senator Albert J. Beverldge, of Indiana,

Graft Prosecutors Hope to Conciliate
Various Factions and Bring Order
Out of a Complicated Situation.
Aaifies That Are Mentioned.
BAN FRANCISCO, June 19. (Spe
cial.) Interest for tile moment has
switched from the prosecution of the
grafters to the identity of the prom
inent citizen who Is to be lifted into
the Mayor's office to complete the
term of Schmitz. The application for
ball on behalf of Schmitz will be made
this week, and it is believed even by
close friends of the Mayor that it will
be denied. The Supervisors, acting
under instructions from District Attor
ney Langdon, Francis J. Heney and
Rudolph Spreckels, will then elect a
successor to Gallagher, who is now
serving as acting Mayor.
The graft prosecutors have under
consideration several names, foremost
among which are James D. Phelan, J.
J. Dwyer, one of the . attorneys asso
ciated with the prosecution; Frederick
G. Sanborn, a member of the grand
jury; H. U. Brandenstein, chairman of
the finance committee of the last board
of Supervisors; F. W. Dohrmann, pres
ident of the relief board; Walter Mac
Arthur, a well-known labor leader, and
Allen Pollok, formerly manager of the
St. Francis Hotel.
Which of these men, if any, will be
chosen, is an open question. The prose
cutors have not yet reached a decision.
The situation is complicated, and
therefore the prosecution will proceed
with great caution. Conflicting In
terests are at work and the prosecutors
will endeavor to conciliate all before
making a choice.
The task before Langdon, Heney
and Spreckels is a very delicate one,
and will require the greatest amount
of diplomacy. Phelan would be the
choice without doubt, were it not for
the Hearst Influence which has stead
fastly opposed Phelan. As District At
torney Langdon has had the support
of Hearst in all his political aspir
ations, he naturally will do all he can
to avoid a conflict with the editor.
On the other hand, Fremont Older,'
editor of the Bulletin, who has been
associated with the prosecution, will
resist any candidate who is in any way
affiliated with Hearst.
Altogether the situation is fraught
with great danger.
ATTORNEYS IN CONFERENCE
Prosecution and Defense Seek to
Agree on Stipulation ot Facts.
1 SAN FRANCISCO, June 19. A (Con
ference was held this afternoon by the
attorneys for the prosecution and those
representing the United Railroads, the
San Francisco Gas & Electric Company
and the Pacific States Telephone & Tele
graph Company, for the purpose of
agreeing? on a stipulation of facts which
occurred at the time of the lmpanelment
of the grand jury.
A statement drawn up by the prosecu
tion was not acceDtable to the defense
and the matter was continued until to
morrow. J
Not only will Mayor Schmitz resist all
efforts to transfer the reins of govern
ment from him to Acting Mayor Galla
gher, but according to his attorneys, all
of the Schmitz appointees will flatly re
fuse to relinquish office when their res
ignations are called for.
-TiiricrA Tjiwlnr tniav nn rpmiAftt nf At
torney Frank l5rew signed an order per
mitting Mayor Schmitz to leave the coun
ty Jail for consultation with his attor
ney. The order is identical with the
one issued yesterday.
Ruef's Sentence Is Postponed.
SAN" FRANCISCO, June 19. By an ar
rangement with the prosecution, the sen
tenoe that was to have been passed upon
Abraham Ruef was postponed for an
other fortnight. Chief of Police Dinan
will be requested to answer to the ac
cusations which charge him with mal
feasance in office.
Rebuked by an English Sunday-8chool
teacher for bringing her little 4-year-old
brother to class with her, the sister replied:
"If you please, teacher. I want to bring
