THE MOKJVJWU FRIDAY, AUGUST lUim HAYWOOD GONG AROUND CIRCLE Will Tour West and Address All Unions of Miners' Federation. HIS LAWYERS DISAGREE Darrow and Richardson Each Re fuse to Work With Other Dar row Probable Counsel at Moyer and Pettibone Trials. BOISE, Idaho. Aug.- 1. (Special. "I have had hundreds of calls from the boys In all parts of the territory covered by the Western Federation of Miners to come and talk to them, and as soon as I can arrange matters in Denver, I shall respond to as many of them as possible." That was the statement made this evening by William D. Haywood, secretary-treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners. Mr. Haywood said that, aside from thfc many unions of the-Federation, he had received many offers to go on the public platform as a lecturer. He said he did not care to pose as an orator or public speaker or" entertajner. He had some flattering offers from a financial stand point, one society in Seattle offering him J1000 and expenses for one night. But he said, "My boys will be the first consid ered. They want me to come to them and talk to them and I shall make plans to accommodate them." Start for Denver Today. Mr. Haywood, with his family, his mother and stepsister. John Murphy, the Federation's attorney, who is dying of consumption, and a number of Socialists from Colorado, who were here all through the trial, will leave on the early train to morrow morning. Today Dr. Disbrow, of Denver, family physician, arrived and said it would be safe for the party to travel. He will accompany the party back. Mrs. Carruthers and daughter ex pect to leave the train at their home in Salt Lake. Charles H. Moyer stated that he would not leai"e for Denver probably before Saturday or Monday. Richardson and Darrow Spilt. It leaked out over a week ago that Clarence S. Darrow and E. F. Richard son would never appear in. any case again for the same clients and it is now given out that in the coming cases, those of George A. Pettibone and Charles H. Moy er, Mr.' Darrow will probably have the leading role as attorney for the defense and .that Mr. Richardson will not again appear. Mr. Darrow states positively that either himself or Mr. Richardson will have to get out. He said he would never be associated with Mr. Richardson In another trial, and that, but for the effect it might have had on the Haywood trial,- he would have resigned long ago. - "Mr. Richardson was very hard to get along with," he said. "He - was very egotistical, arrogant and exceedingly jealous. We never could travel double again." Darrow's Glaring Faults. Mr. Richardson, on the other hand, said that Mr. Darrow was headstrong, heed less and nearsighted when the interests of the clients were being considered. His great fault with Mr. Darrow was that he was a Socialist and was inclined to put the Interests of the party ahead of the Interests of the men who were on trial for their lives. DENVER PREPARES OVATION Great Outpouring of Unionists to Do Honor to Haywood. DENVER. Aug. 1. Practically all the unions of the city were represented at a meeting tonight which had for its pur pose the perfection of plans for honoring William D. Haywood, secretary-treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners, who was acquitted of the charge of consiracy In. connection with the murder of ex Governor Steunenberg, of Idaho, on his his arrival in this city from Salt Lake next Saturday evening. A great popular demonstration will be made in which it is estimated by union ists between 23,000 and 60,000 people will take part. Mr. Haywood will be met at the Union station and will ride to his hotel in a carriage drawn by six white horses, white signifying his innocence of the crime with which he was charged. An effort will be made to have Mr. Hay wood address the populace somewhere along the line of march and al.o submit to a reception, when all wishing may shake Ills hand. On Sunday, if agreeable to the princi pal himself, a great outpouring of people will greet Mr. Haywood at a mass-meeting to be held at one of the open-air gardens, during which time he will de liver an address. Everything depends upon the willingness of the proposed guest of honor to submit to the plans, for the local unionists place no limit upon the scope of the reception or the number who will participate. STILL HUNT FRAUDS. Congress Has Not Cut Down Appro priations. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Aug. 1. There Is not the slight est foundation for reports that have re cently been given currency in the West to the effect that the Government Is be ing unduly hampered in the work of run nlng down and punishing individuals guuty of participation in land frauds. The appropriation for special agents and Inspectors of the Interior Depart ment and General Land Office is exactly the same this year as last, namely, $250, 000. There are as many speclM agents and Inspectors now at work as were em ployed in the days when the notorious frauds in Oregon were unearthed. There Is no intention of reducing the number of agents, and there is no necessity for re ducing tneir number. It Is true, that the President wanted Congress at the last session to double the appropriation for special agents, and he urged that $300,000 be set aside for this purpose. Congress denied . the .request and appropriated only the regular amount. But there was a good and suffi clent reason for the refusal of Congress to increase the appropriation, and it was not due. as has been charged, to an ef fort on the part of Senators and Repre sentatives to protect the land thieves. On January 25, 1907, President Roose velt signed an order that had been pre pared by Secretary Hitchcock, then head of the Interior Department, stipulating that thereafter no patent should be Is sued for any piece of public land until the, entry had been personally Inspected on the ground by some special agent .or other representative or the department. Secretary Hitchcock, with all his com' tnendable qualities, had a suspicion that every man was a thelf unless he bore the tamp of approval of some one of his rep resentatives; at least, he felt that way towards every man who sought to ac quire public land. That order brought forth a tremendous howl from all parts of the West, for it meant all kinds of congestion in the Land Office, and meant delays of years in pat enting homesteads and other forms of entries. It was punishing the innocent in order to detect the guilty and statis tics show that about 98 per cent of the public land entrymen are honest. Senator Fulton of Oregon was very pronounced in his, opposition to that order, and in talking with the President asked him what assurance he had that the special agents would make honest reports. He Intimated that the order might have the opposite effect to what was intended, for It gave an opportunity to land thieves who had money to buy up special agents, and at the same time would compel them to find undue fault with honest entrymen in order that they, might maintain their standing with the Department. Naturally this order of the President could not be carried out by the regular force of special agents. The force would have to be doubled In order that entries could be inspected as fast as entrymen proved up. It was with this situation confronting him that the President urged a doubling of the appropriation for spe cial agents, and It was solely to meet the demand created by his order of January 25 that he made the recommendation. Later when the President found the weakness of his order, and realized that he would be hardshlpplng every honest entryman for no other purpose than to gratify a whim of Secretary Hitchcock he modified his order on February 12 by excepting various kinds of entries that need not be personally inspected before passing to patent. But even' as modified the order called for a large increase In the number of special agents, so the esti mate to Congress was allowed to stand. Western Senators and Congressmen knew whv the order of January 25 had been is sued, and they knew if was their last chance to pay their respects to Secretary Hitchcock who had announced his Inten tion of retiring on March 4, so they stood pat, refused to raise the appropria tion, and soon after Congress adjourned, the President, realizing the folly of fur ther holding up land entries pending per sonal Investigation, issued an order on March 12 absolutely revoking his previous orders of January 25 and February 12, and the old order of things was restored. The public land situation is therefore today Just what it was a year ago, and the Government has the same force and the same resources now for ferreting out fraud that it had in July. 1906. There has been no diminution in the force and no diminution in the appropriation. And so far as the prosecution or lana xnieveo is concerned, the appropriation for the current year is larger than that for the year Just closed. That there is neea ior more agents of the General Land Office there can be no doubt, but there Is a right way am tooII na n wronK way of asking for Increased appropriations. Unfortunately the President permitted nimsen iu uo u ir,t thA vrnne wav bv Secretary Hitch cock If Hitchcock had not been a party to the request, and if the President had not signed the order drafted by the Sec retary, Congress wouia nave ureu m rh 'more frlendlv mood, and it is pos sible some increase could have been se cured. But there is no ground for the charge that Congress has interfered with the prosecution of land frauds. Such talk Is due either to ignorance, or to some ulterior motive on tne pari oi .e "" who makes the charge. REPORT ON MAGILLS TODAY Grand Jury May Indict for Poison ing First Wife. n.iKTnjl. III..

PARIS, Aug. 1. A well-known dip lomat In an interview tonight stated that Italy would send a warship, as well as Spain, to Morocco, and that a composite force of French, Italian and Spanish troops would be landed at Casa Blanca to restore order In co-operation with the Sultan's forces. All the signatories of the Algeciras convention will be Informed as to the steps which it Is deemed necessary to take to exact satisfaction. EXTERMINATE THE EUROPEANS Refugee Gives Details of Massacre at Casa Blanca. TANGIER, Aug. 1. Dr. Merle, who ar rived here last night upon the German ship which brought a number of Jews and other refugees from Casa Blanca, is the bearer of a report to the French Charge d' Affaires here, showing that the slaugh ter of Europeans in Casa Blanca was an outcome of a holy war preached by the Arabs for the extermination of Europe ans. On Monday a number of Arab chiefs en tered Casa Blanca and demanded that the harbor improvement work cease. The pasha of Casa Blanca pointed out that this work was being done with the sanc tion of the Sultan, whereupon the chiefs stated that the Sultan was no longer their ruler, as he obeyed the Christians. They then began to Incite the natives to exter minate all Jews and Europeans In the town. On Tuesday morning the natives began their attacks by stoning a Euro pean, and when the man tried to flee he was surrounded and hacked to pieces. This was the signal for another attack and as soon as the danger became known the French and Spanish residents rushed to their respective consulates for protection. During this flight at least eight were murdered. M. d'Euvllle, the French Consul, de manded that the pasha provide an escort for the recovery of bodies. The pasha pleaded at first that he had no cartridges, but upon further representation he finally supplied an escort. When this rescue party, however, reached the scene of the attacks, it was charged by a number of Arab cavalrymen and forced into flight. In the meantime, while the Jews and Europeans were taking refuge on board the German ship, the Mussulmans began to attack the laborers employed In the harbor. They fired upon the shore boats and killed several men, whose bodies lat er were burned. One workman, who tried to swim off to a ship, was shot in the water. ' There were one German and one French steamer in the harbor at Casa Blanca when the German steamer pulled out. It Is expected that Casa Blanca will be In vaded by 20.000 Arabs today. The French cruiser Galilee, which left here last night for Casa Blanca, should arrive there today. The refugees arriving here say the sit uation at Casa Blanca is grave, but that there have been no further attacks on foreigners. SPAIN TO JOIN WITH FRANCE Prepares Plan for Action to Obtain Reparation. ' MADRID. Aug. 1. The Imparcial insists that the murderers of Spanish subjects at Casa Blanca must be punished. The pa per believes that Europe's rivalries, as well as the ferocity of the natives, are re sponsible for the bloodshed at Cam Blan ca and advocates further the renunciation of the Algeciras agreement or the convo cation of a new conference. The Spanish government is drawing up a plan for concerted action with France to obtain reparation for the murders In Casa Blanca. As a first step a Span ish warship has been ordered to proceed Immediately to Morocco. PASHA MAY LOSE HIS HEAD French Cruiser Carries Ultimatum to Head Official at Tangier. PARIS, Aug. L The Pasha of Casa Blanca will answer with his bead to the French government for the general se curity of the city. This is the ultimatum which the French cruiser Galilee, due to reach Casa Blanca this morning. Is con veying. The French cruiser Forbin. now at the Azores, also has been ordered to proceed to Casa Blanca Immediately. Action by the French government will not, for the moment, tea any further than this.

The Best Equipped Trust Company In the Northwest ESTABLISHED APRIL, 18, 188T. 240-244 Washington Street, Cor. Second Portland, Oregon Galilee has been ordered to take on board all Europeans desiring reiuge.- The French newspapers generally advise that the government administer a lesson to the Sultan. They declare that the gov erning board is directly responsible for the occurrences at Casa Blanca, as It per sisted In maintaining the present Pasha there in spite of the protests of the dip lomatic corps at Tangier. The Eclair says It considers that France has been caught in a trap, and that the occupation of Oudja by France has only served to tan the Mussulmans fanaticism without demonstrating the power of the government. Advices received by the For eign Office here confirm the reports that five Frenchmen, two Spaniards and one Italian were killed and their bodies thrown into the sea. CALLS FOR ENERGETIC ACTION Government Organ Says Mau chanip's Murderers Not Punished. PARIS. Aug. 1. The Temps attributes the outbreak at Casa Blanca largely to a lack of decisive French action in Mo rocco. It calls attention to the fact that the real assassins of jr. Mauchamp. the Frenchman who was killed in Morocco City, have neither been imprisoned nor discharged. It contrasts tnis course of action with Germany's vengeance in 1895, when a German subject was killed, and Insists that energetic action is a national duty as well as a duty to the powers. Xo Americans at Casa Blanca. WASHINGTON, Aua. 1. The State De partment today received from United States Minister Gummere, at Tangier, a brief cablegram stating that several for eigners had been murdered at Casa Blanca, Morocco, and that "a foreign ves sel had been dispatched to Morocco." It Is believed at the State Department that there nre no native-born Americans In Casa Blanca. GLAMOUR OF JOURNALISM Colonel Watterson Takes a Pessimis tic View of His Profession. Louisville Courier-Journal. The glamour of Journalism is not unlike the glamour of the stage. The novice sees the outside of th theater and marks the gathering throngs. He enters the magic portal and beholds the gaudy In side. He hears the music of the orches tra. He Is dazzled by the footlights. The curtain rises upon a very paradise of pasteboard and grease-paint. The lion of the piece struts his hour upon the scene. The poor boy thinks it real. Back of the flaring canvas He the shadows and lurk the sorrows. All that glitters Is not gold. Newspaper properties are more and more becoming., like the railways and the banks, pure corporate affairs. Xiess and less does the Individual writer cut any real, figure. While strong writing, backed by strong character, will always count. the opportunities become fewer for the reason that such . writing must emanate from authority, and this authority will not be delegated by employers to em ployes. The founders of the great prop erties are mostly dead. Their successors are multiplied by the laws of Inheritance and the custom of purchase. Who knows who ii&s succeeded Dana, at the head of the New York Sun, or Raymond, as edi tor of the New York Times? Whitelaw Held owns the Tribune; but who edits it while he is Ambassador? And so on, to the end of the chapter. The bottom round of the ladder no long er promises'the top. On the contrary. It promises a life of tabor and penury, with nothing to show for It. The writers of the letters we have quoted had better go and dig potatoes for a living. As to tell ing them how to get on in Journalism, they mtght as well ask us to tell them how to fly. The men who have got on in Journalism have had to be their own examples, to set their own copies, to make their own rules, to live their own lives, and then most of them went down in darkness and despair, even as Greeley, and Prentice, and Raymond, and Forney did. Journalism has no standard of ethics. It has no professional esprit de corps. It has not titles of nobility, or passports to any promised land. It Is not even a good, safe, money-making business, of the regulation stamp, though the newspa per is becoming less unstable and mora profitable and salable as a property, and. In the larger cities, quite ranks with other of the established commercial In stitutions. ANOTHER SUSPECT CAUGHT Hastings, Whom Tower Implicated in Train Kobbery. BUTTE, Mont., Aug. 1. G. Clarence Hastings, a Butte miner, implicated by George Tower In the holdup of the North Coast limited near Welch's Spur on May 7 last, and the murder of Clow, the en gineer, was captured today near Sapplng ton, a station on the Northern Pacific a few miles east of Butte. Hastings would not talk. He was. brought back here. TWO JUDGES DON'T AGREE Gary Dissents From Prltchard on Railroad Laws. COLUMBIA, S. C, Aug. 1.

There are In London nearly 300 clubs devoted to the interests of society, the service (army and navy), art, letters or sport. Their aggregate membership Is up ward of 280,000. Thus London not only produced the first club, but still main- I tains Its lead. Sen-ice clubs include the senior; the guards, a mot strict institution which forbids the admittance of strangers or the playing of round games of cards; the army and navy, nicknamed "The Rag," which ruthlessly blackballs would-be members, one adverse vote In ten being sufficient to disqualify at the ballot; the cavalry, with Its 1400 members, and the Junior Naval and Military Club. King Edward ia a member of a dozen of the best clubs In London, embodying social, sporting, dramatic, military and literary. A political club he may not Join, and In the vast field of social clubs his choice is limited. The membership of the club chosen by the King must be most select, because in club life His Majesty abrogates ht royalty. At his own desire, he Is treated like any other mem ber. Of all the clubs of which the King Is a member. It is always understood that any candidate recommended by His Majesty Is elected without the ordeal of the ballot.
