Washington Officials Deny
There Is Excuse for Delay
ing Land Trials.
DEPARTMENT STIRRED UP
Removes All Ground for Delay by
Telegraphing Funds to Marshal.
'' Can Have More AVhen the
' Vouchers Are Forwarded.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 17. When District-Attorney
Bristol says that Oregon land
fraud trials cannot proceed because of
Inadequate appropriation and allotment
of funds, he is entirely in error. This,
at any rate, is the declaration made
today by the Department of Justice.
There is not only ample money availa
ble to defray the expenses of every
postponed trial in Oregon, but both
District-Attorney Bristol and Marshal
Reed know, or should know, that this
money will be supplied just as fast
as it is needed.
Granted Plenty of Cash.
On July 1, when the new appropria
tion became available, the Department
of Justice sent Marshal Reed $7000,wlth
the understanding- that it would be
used in beginning the land fraud trials.
Mr. Reed had made a requisition for
30,000, but he failed to submit the
vouchers, which are always required
before the Department will place funds
at his disposal. The statement that ho
and Mr. Bristol had asked for $70,000
Is denied by the Department. Further
more, under the rules of the Depart-
ment, which should be well known to
court officials, the Department never
furnishes any Marshal with funds In ex
cess of his bond. Mr. Reed's bond Is
$30,000 and he could not have secured
more than that except by increasing
his bond, but It was not necessary that
he have more than that at one time in
order to defray the expenses of land
trials.
When the Chief of the Accounts Divi
sion of the Department of Justice was
told today that Mr. Bristol attributed
the delay of the land trials to lack of
Tunas, tie expressed utter surprise ana
said the statement was absurd. He
was at a loss to understand why Mr.
Bristol should have made any such
statement. In view of the fact that
$7000 had recently been sent Marshal
Reed, with the distinct understanding
that it was to be used in beginning the
' land trials. The Department believed
Mr. Bristol's statement was due to Ig
norance of department methods.
Removes Excuse for Delay.
To put at rest all such talk and to
convince-Mr. Bristol that the adminis
tration is anxious that the trials be re
sumed, the Department today sent
Marshal Reed J20.000 by telegraph,
notifying him that this, like the 7000,
is for use in the land trials, and in case
he is not familiar with the practice fit
the Department, lie was instructed that
ho could have more money from time
to time upon submission of duly pre
pared vouchers. The $20,000 would
have gone forward by mall but for the
commotion that has been stirred up in
Portland. The Department does not
believe there is any Immediate demand
.for this amount of money, especially
as the $7000 allotment has not yet been
used, but it has removed all semblance
of excuse for delaying the trials.
It is expected that no time will be
lost In bringing the remaining land
cases to trial. The $27,000 now on hand
Is sufficient to carry some of the cases
to completion and, if the cases are
properly expedited, all trials can bo
concluded long before the funds now
at the disposal of the Department are
exhausted.

MAYOK TAYLOR TAKES OFFICE
Opposed to Class Government,
Though Favorable to Unions.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 17. Dr. Ed
ward R. Taylor, dean of Hastings Law
College and acting president of Cooper
Medical College, today received his
commission as Mayor of the City and
County of San Francisco. Later the
oath of office was administered by
County Clerk Harry L. Mulcreavy. Re
garding his plans for reforming the
city government. Mr. Taylor said:
"I have no plans at present. In fact,
the whole thing has come on me so
suddenly that I have not had time to
think about it as yet. I intend to con
duct the government on a nonpartisan
basis, hf. further than that I have no
plans."
Mayor Taylor. In a statement to the
Associated Press tonight, said that be
fore accepting the Mayoralty offer yes
terday afternoon, he took counsel of
Chief Justice Beatty, of the Supreme
Court, who almost urged him to take
the office.
A declaration by P. H. McCarthy, of
the Building Trades Council, that "or
ganized labor had nothing to do with
the election of Mayor Taylor and would
not co-operate with him in his admin
istration of the city's affairs, was laid
before Dr. Taylor, and he was asked if
he desired to make a reply. He said:
Mr. McCarthy was a member with me of
the charter framers' convention, and I
know him well. I do not wish to criticize
his statement. Let me say, merely, that a
clean, fearless administration of the city's
affairs should be, especially at this particu
lar, time, of uppermost importance in the
minds of all men who have the general
welfare at heart.
My attitude toward union labor and labor
unions is briefly this: I believe In labor
unionism. I believe that any country is
better off with labor unions than without
them, for the reason that to them Is due
the great betterment In the conditions sur
rounding wageearners that have been
achieved In late years.
But I abhor class distinction, class legis
lation, class administration. The law does
not recognize it,. our theory of government
does not tolerate It; to no honest man can
It appeal.
Mayor Taylor has not yet made up
his mind as to the selection of any of
the 16 Supervisors he will presently be
called on to appoint.
"Names are galloping through my
mind," Is the way he put it this after
noon, "and pretty soon some of them
will stick." , .
District Attorney Langdon remarked:
"I haven't anything to tell. I don't
know anything a fact that makes me
happy. The 'big atick' Is no more. I
haven't even a fragment to offer you
as a souvenir. A lot of job-hunters ran
me down today, but I shunted them
generally off in the direction of Mayor
Taylor."

Into Troubled
When Policeman Galbreath Baw a
dark figure scurrying down Seventh
street at a fast clip at 10:30 o'clock
last night with a shotgun in hand, he
thought it was about time to investi

of the weapon. The man proved to
be A. J. Rowe, colored, who said he
had been robbed and was after the rob
ber. He was arrested and booked at
headquarters on a charge of disorderly
conduct.
Rowe explained that he meant no
harm, but thought perhaps he could'

his room early In the evening and
frighten him Into returning the money.
The gun was not loaded.

HE WiLL ABDICATE
Emperor of Corea to Grant
Cabinet's Demand.
GREAT FEAR OF TUMULT
Placards in Seoul Call for Death to
Japanese Crown Prince to As
cend Throne With Lim
ited Power.
TOKIO, July 17. As a result of urgent
representation by the ministers, it is
very probable that the Emperor of
Corea will abdicate in favor of the Crown
Prince as the first step toward reform In
Corea. This will most likely be followed
by the calling of a new convention,
which, while keeping Corea national ex
istence intact, will limit the sovereign
power In some form whereby the ruler
can exercise his powers only with the
consent and approval of the Japanese
resident general.
The present ministers In Seoul are ac
tuated by true patriotism and are deter
mined to place the Corean government
upon a firm basis and free from court
Intrigues and selfish plots.
DEMANDS HIS ABDICATION.
Corean Cabinet Voices Terms Dic
tated by Ja'pan.
SEOUL, July 17. Following a Cabinet
meeting yesterday, which lasted four
hours, the Premier had an audience with
the Emperor In the evening continuing
for three hours. It has transpired that the
Premier made a strongly worded repre
sentation of the gravity of the situation
caused by His Majesty's sending a depu
tation to the peace conference at The
Hague. He boldly pointed out the neces
sity for the Emperor's abdication in
favor of the Crown Prince, and of his
proceeding to Tokio and apologizing to
the Emperor of Japan. The Corean Em
peror made no definite reply.
On retiring from the palace, the Pre
mier immediately called another Cabinet
meeting which lasted until 2 o'clock this
morning. The Cabinet Is determined to
definitely decide on Corea's attitude to
day or by the time of the arrival of
Viscount Hayashi, Japanese Foreign Min
ister. It is believed that the Ministers
will insist on the abdication of the Em
peror, at all risk.
The II Chlng Hoi Progressive Associa
tion, which is supporting the present
Cabinet has officially applied to Marquis
Ito to help- save Corea from the grave
consequences of the Emperor's action
against Japan. It Is reported that the
Emperor has withdrawn 400,000 yen de
posited in the Bank of Shanghai.
It Is not considered likely that the Em
peror will yield to the demand for his
abdication without a struggle.
Despite the perturbation and excitement
of the court and Cabinet, the populace
generally Is calm. Even the anti-Japanese
Association has issued a manifesto
urging the necessity of a peaceful, pru
dent attitude at this critical stage of the
situation. The Emperor, lri the opinion
of close observers, has alienated popular
affection.
CALL FOR DEATH OF JAPANESE
Placards Excite Seoul Emperor
Shams Sickness to Get Sympathy.
SEOUL, via Tokio, July 18. Placards
were posted today In one of the thorough
fares calling for the death of all Japanese
officials in Seoul. The ministers are
strongly guarded and every precaution
has been taken to prevent riots and at
tacks upon officials.
The Emperor Is reported to be too wor
ried to take food or sleep, but this report
is considered to be one of his usual man
euvers to enlist the sympathy of his
people.
EMPEROR CALLS MARQUIS ITO
Decision on Abdication Near Palace
Guards Told to Shoot.
TOKIO, July 17. The Emperor of Corea
has sent for Marquis Ito and it is likely
that he will receive the Marquis In audi
ence this afternoon. It is believed that
a final decision on the request for the
Emperor's abdication will be arrived at
this evening, when the ministers appear
in a body before his majesty.
The report from Seoul that the Emperor
attempted to seek refuge In a certain con
sulate Is officially discredited, but it is
thought that evidently intriguers are at
work on a plan to remove the Emperor
from the palace.
A rumor that the Emperor has privately
ordered the palace guards, 100 strong, to
shoot any suspicious persons is causing
dismay to those not concerned in the plot.
DOUBT RULER WILTj ABDICATE
Corean Delegates at Hague Sceptical.
Japanese Suspect Trick.
THE HAGUE, July 17. Ex-Premier Tl
Sang Sul, the only member of the Corean
delegation still here, declares that he does
not believe the Emperor will abdicate.
He said today:
"Such reports are always spread by the
Japanese as a threat when they wish to
impress Seoul in order to obtain what
they desire."
Kelroku TzuzukI, head of the Japanese
delegation, also disbelieves the report re
garding the Emperor's abdication. He
thinks that the Emperor, who is very
astute, understanding that Viscount
Hayashi's visit might mean that Japan
had some punishment in store for him
for the trouble he had caused Japan at
The Hague, is endeavoring to avert the
storm by announcing that he is ready to
abdicate.
"Certainly something must be done,"
said the Japanese delegate "to protect
ourselves against any further Corean
incident like that at The Hague.
M. Tzuzukl believes that even if the
Emperor does abdicate his successor will
not be his first son, who Is practically an
Idiot, but his second son, whose mother
was a concubine, thus giving rise to all
kinds of court Intrigues.
JAPAN WIXIj TAKE CONTROL
Delegation to Hague Forms Excuse
for Deposing Emperor.
LONDON, July 17. The abdication
of the Emperor of Corea would cause
no surprise here. Matters have been
drifting in that direction ever since
the Japanese occupation of that coun
try and the Japanese government evi
dently regards the dispatch of a Corean
delegation to The Hague as afforalng
her the long-sought pretext for put
ting an end to the present anomalous
condition of affairs in Corea.
The mission of Viscount Hayashi, the
Japanese Foreign lnlster, who left
Tokio Monday for Seoul, seems to point
to a decision on the part of Japan to
secure the deposition of the Emperor
and assume the entire control of the
country.
Cabinet Follows Old Custom.
TOKIO, July 17. Although Corea Is
under an absolute monarchy, the demo
cratic custom has existed since olden days
of demanding the retirement from the
throne of a sovereign whose conduct en
dangers the national welfare. When such
an occasion arises, the usage prevails
that all the Cabinet Ministers shall ap
pear before their ruler. One of them, act
ing as a spokesman, humbly states the
advisability of the Emperor's retirement
In favor of a rightful ' successor. When
this state Is reached, the Emperor 13
morally bound to abdicate.
Agent at The Hague Dies.
THE HAGUE, July 17. M. Tehunn, a
member of the Corean mission to the
peace conference, - which was refused of
ficial recognition, died suaaeniy cun
dav. and was buried yesterday. The
only mourners were a hotel man and an
other member of the Corean mission.
Wild reports regarding the death of
Tchunn were circulated arter nis inter
ment. AERONAUT HAS CLOSE CULL
MAKES ASCENSION; PARACHUTE
WILL NOT WORK.
Balloonist Meeker Thrills Crowd by
Doing Dangerous "Stunt" to
Save His Life In Mid-Air.
NEW YORK, July 17. Members of an
employes' beneficial association who en
gaged Balloonist W. A. Meeker to make
an ascent and parachute drop at a Har
lam picnic, this evening, got more than
their money's worth. Meeker not only
went up 2000 feet, but when his parachute
attachment failed to work, he jabbed
holes In the hot air bag, and made a
descent that startled the- spectators.
Missing a ducking by good luck, the bal
loonist made a flyng jump and landed
himself on the Willis-avenue bridge pier
unharmed.
The hitch in the parachute was due to
tangled ropes, and when Meeker, who
had been seated on a swinging bar, sud
denly began to scramble up a rope until
he reached the gas bag, the crowd below
thought it part of the performance, and
cheered. A moment later the aerial ar
tist had pierced a half dozen holes In the
bag, which shot toward the earth. As
It dropped, it swayed back and forth, and
Meeker, who had left his seat on the bar,
was seen to hold his seat with difficulty.
When about 50 feet above the river, the
balloon halted, swung a few yards above
a bridge over the roadway, and Meeker
jumped, landing safely on the structure.
MARK TWAIN IN COLLISION
Thrilling Message From Humorist In
Mid-Atlantic.
LONDON. July 17. The following wire
less dispatch by way of Crookhaven from
the Atlantic Transport Line steamer
Minnetonka, and signed "Mark Twain,"
has been received by the Associated
Press: .
"Left the Channel Sunday at 1:30 In
doubtful weather, and sighted the Scilly
Islands 10 miles off. At 6 o'clock ran
into a dense fog, which broke into path
during night,
"At 5 A. M. Monday the fog had thick
ened and the ship was crawling along
slowly. At 6:39 a large bark suddenly
loomed up and lost her bowsprit by drag
ging along our side. We received very
slight damage. The bark was coming for
our broadside, but prompt action on both
sides prevented a direct collision.
"The bark disappeared in the fog. We
saw her twice during a three hours' hunt,
but she was so quickly enveloped in the
fog that we could not speak her, so we
resumed our trail. All well. (Signed)
"MARK TWAIN."
The Minnetonka, on board of which
Mark Twain is a passenger, sailed July 12
from London for New York.
CONTEST PERKINS POLICY
Mutual Life AVill Demand Repay
. ment of Insurance Money.
TOPDKA, Kan., July 17. John S. Dean,
special attorney for the Mutual Life In
surance Company of. New York, left
Topeka this afternoon for Lawrence to
make a demand upon the heirs and exec
utors of the estate of the late Lucius H.
Perkins for the return of the life Insur
ance policy for $100,000 Issued by the
Mutual Life Insurance Company to Mr.
Perkins a few months before his death.
This request being refused, Mr. Dean will
ask permission to have the body of Mr.
Perkins exhumed In order that a post
mortem examination may be made.
It Is assumed that the Mutual Life In
surance Company Is preparing to resist
the payment of Its policy upon the life
of Mr. Perkins on the ground that his
fall from the roof of his home June 1 last
was not accidental.
The fact that Mr. Perkins carried in
surance to the extent of more than $650,
000, the policies for which had been taken
out only a short time previously, caused
comment.

POPE PIUS' DEGREE
Condemns Doctrine of Modern
Catholic Writers.
WILL DISCIPLINE PRIESTS
Campaign Begun Against Liberals In
Defense of Efficacy of Church In
Defending Morals No
Revision of Creed.
ROME; July 17. The first move of the
Vatican against the ultra-Liberal Cath
olic campaign, in which among others a
secret international league is said to be
engaged, has taken the form of a decree
promulgated by the Pope tonight specifi
cally condemning 65 statements taken
from the writing of leading Catholic mod
ernist writers, whose names, however,
are not given. Among the statements
condemned is one approving a total dis
regard of the prohibitions of the Index
expurgatorlous and of other Roman Cath
olic congregations.
The three last articles of the syllabus
setting forth the condemnation are as
follows:
Article 63 The church shows herself to
be Incapable of guaranteeing the efficacy of
evangelical morality, for Bhe remains tightly
bound by & doctrine which cannot be made
to agree with modern progress.
Article 64 The progress of science re
quires a reform in the conception of the
Christian doctrine on the subjects of Qod,
the creation and the revelation.
- Article 03 Modern Catholicism cannot bo
made to agree with science if it cannot be
transformed into Catholicism that is non
dogmatic, that is to say. Protestantism large
and liberal.
The greater part of the propositions are
such as any other Christian church would
have condemned as a menace to Christi
anity. The Vatican will follow up the syllabus
with vigorous disciplinary measures
against all priests refusing to subscribe
to Its decisions.

Wisconsin Revisionists Agree 'With
Him to Shelve Question at
Next Congress.
OYSTER BAT, N. Y.. July 17. Pres

R. F. Miles, representing the Wisconsin
Tariff Revision League, discussed the
subject of tariff revision at luncheon to
day. Mr. Hopkins, upon leaving Oys

that no tariff revision should be under
taken until after the next Presidential
election.
"It would be suicidal to the Republican
party," the Senator added, "to under
take a revision of the tariff during the
next Congress. After a Presidential elec

Republican party to revise the tariff, and
that It will be done."
Mr. Hopkins remarked that he believed
such an . argument would appeal to and
be accepted by the Republican revision
ists In all parts of the country.
Of Speaker Cannon, Mr. Hopkins said:
"Of course, If President Roosevelt was
not a candidate there would not be the
slightest opposition In the convention to
Mr. Cannon's nomination. But I am
thoroughly convinced that Mr. Roosevelt
will not consider the nomination. Speaker
Cannon will have the entire Illinois
delegation solidly behind him, and I thor
oughly believe. If nominated, he will
make the best race of any man the Re
publican party could put forward."
