CHAGRIN TO THE MONGOLS 't)torlous Land-Fraud Operator's Kvasion Thwarts Plan to Extra dite American Criminals With out an Extradition Treaty. FEKIN. Nov. 33. Horatio McKinley, wanted in Oregon in connection with the land-fraud trials in that state, who was arrested by the Manchm-ian authorities at Mukden, October 6. and Incarcerated pending the arrival of an officer from America. esi-nMd from custody yester day. The Chinese government is making efforts to recapture the prisoner. The escape of McKinley will probably defeat the first attempt of China's co operation In the extradition of criminals without a treaty. It was hoped that the attempt would succeed and discourage . numerous American criminals and adven turers from taking refuge in China. The foregoing dispatch refers, un doubtedly, to Horace C5. McKinley, con victed land-fraud operator in this state, who has been a fugitive from justice for several years. McKinley, together with S. A. D. Puter, Marie Ware and Kmma AVatson. was convicted in the first land-fraud trial in this state on a charge of conspiring to defraud the Gov ernment of several thousand acres of val uable timber land. While convicted, Mc Kinley was never sentenced and was re leased on bonds. Several months after the trial McKin ley wedded Marie Ware, whom he after wards deserted, and left San Francisco In company with "Little Kgypt" for China, where he 'was subsequently lo cated. Reaching the Celestial Empire. McKinley for a time found employment as a bartender. It was' further reported that he also frequented Oriental gambling houses. It was over the green cloth he squandered much of his ill-gotten pro ceeds of his land-fraud operations. United States Attorney Bristol and T. B. Neuhausen, special inspector for the Interior Department, were out of the city last night, but T'nited States Marshal Reed said the Federal authorities here had no knowledge of the arrest of Mc Kinley on October 5. as reported in the dispatch. He said if any mtempt is being made by the Government to have the fugitive returned to this country. It Is being directed by the authorities at Washington, who had not advised the Oregon officials of the proceeding. The escapo of McKinley at this time recalls the sensational incident by which Puter, who is now serving his sentence In the Multnomah County Jail, managed to gain his freedom after he had first been arrested by Detective W. J. Burns in Boston three years ago. The Beau Brummel of .the land-fraud ring was never credited with possessing much dar ing, but his escape from the authorities In Manchrula, although the details of his escape have not been learned, may prove him a more desperate character than was suspetced. FORGES BIG MEN'S NAMES Smith Worked Morton, but Found Morgan Too Cold. PITTSBURG, Pa.. Nov. 12. B. O. Emith. of Fort Smith, Ark., is in jail Here on suspicion of having practiced forgery In various cities. Local detec tives claim that Smith is wanted in Kansas City, the Bankers' Association f that city offering a reward of $2000 'or his arrest on charges of forgery .ag tregating $.13,000. Smith registered here is Paul Halloway. His plan, according :o the detectives, was to secure from jubllc libraries books of local biogra phy, from which he obtained portmits ind fac simile signatures of his in :ended victims. Selecting one man as i victim, his alleged plan was to pre sent forged indorsements from other prominent people and effect a deal that tvnuld net him money. In his room was found a biography f Western Pennsylvania with notes opposite the names of prominent capi talists, and the police believe he was ibout ready to begin operations here. There were also portraits and signa tures of many New Yorkers. A visit ing card and bogus letter from Charles M. Schwab, it is allesed. introduced Smith to Levi P. Morton and opposite Morton's name Is written: "Stung him Tor- $4500." Thomas A, Edison's name tvas used to gain 'an audience with J. P. Morgan and the comment on the Sreat financier is: "Too cold; couldn't touch him." A check on the Union Bank of Chi cago for $100, payable to Paul Hallo way and signed by Temple H. Hamil ton, was among Smith's effects as was also an autograph photograph of Mr. Hamilton. ADAMS' STORY IS READ Kontlnued From First Phrc. ) Alvah Mason and myself to Simpklns' cabin, made some coffee and had break fast, and in the morning we went over to try to catch Tyler in his cabin on Jack Simpklns' claim. He was gone, so we laid there until sundown. He never re turned, and we started up to a spring, and while we were drinking we heard someone coming. I said: 'All right. I am glad of It." I got my Winchester, and, standing by the side of the trail, never moved. I saw It was Tyler coming. He had a big gun buckled on him. I stepped out on the trail and told him to throw up his hands. We then disarmed him, took him to Simpklns' cabin, stopped" there until morning, when we took him three miles out In the timber and I killed him." Hid Body Between Ivogg. "What was done with the body?" "It was left lying between two logs." "Who did Tyler say placed him on the claim?'' "A fellow named Lewis, a banker, I think, from Spokane, but I cannot say positively." "After that what occurred?" "I went down, and met Simpklns at Harrison, and told him what I had done, that he did not have any jumper on his claim. "In about a week or thereabouts, or probably two weeks, we went hack up In there, and met a fellow named Boule and another man coming down the trail near Simpklns" cabin. We opened Are on them, killing Boule; Jack Simpklns, I and Newt Glover. There was another man with us at the time whose name I do not know." "How did It happen that the other man got away?" "We miscd him; he was dodging. We shot at him." Following the shooting. Adams told a story of how he had left the Marble Creek region; how he had waited until after the Sheriff had gone In and found l the body of Boule, and- how the cabins of three of the junipers had been blown up. Bodies Found Later. The Sheriff had found but one of the bodies, that of Boule, which was lying a short distance from Simpklns' cabin. Adams did not meet the Sheriff, but Simp kins met him. "After this was over, did you get the $300 from Simpklns?" "I did not." "What excuse did he give?" "He said that all the settlers agreed to help pay it, but they did not come in with the money. I got $120. Mason gave me $100 and Simpklns gave me $20 when I left." "I suppose Mason is there yet." "I think likely that he is, as he is a man with a family. I will say this In be half of those people up there: It seemed like there was a rich man trying to rob them of their claims, this man Lewis, whom I have previously mentioned. Tyler told me that Lewis was to furnish them with money to hold them up there on those claims until they could t-ke them away from those settlers, and then he was to give them half and he was to get half in return." WILL RETIRE DISABLED Army Board Will Act on Those Who Cannot Ride. WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. Brigadier General John M. Davis presided over the deliberations of an Army retiring board, which met at the Washington Barracks today. Before this board are to come or examination 17 officers above the grade of Captain, who failed to qualify for the rid ing test directed by President Roosevelt. The list includes a number of well-known officers of the Army. Today's work of the board was brief. The officers ordered before it are first to be examined physically by the medical of-' ficers of the board as to their condition, and the conclusion reached will be submit ted to the full board for action. SAME CONCESSIONS TO ALL Reynolds Widens' Scope of German . Tariff Agreement. NEW YORK, Nov. 12. Speaking of the annual conference of local apprais ers, in session here. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury James B. Reynolds, just back from a special tariff Inquiry in Europe, took the opportunity to clear up for the benefit of the apprais ers a great deal of the existing misun derstanding about the German agree ment. Mr. Reynolds made a clear and unequivocal statement as to what was expected of the officers in making ap praisements under this treaty and he took particular pains to bring out the fact that the agreement applies to other countries as well as to .Germany. This is the first pronouncement from a high official source' as to an opinion which has long prevailed In customs circles, namely, that since the United States cannot grant to one country commercial privileges which are denied to another, no other document outside of the German agreement is necessary to secure to France, Austria or any other country the same concessions as to export, price, etc., that have been granted to Germany. Besides the official expression of opinion to the appraisers, Mr. Reynolds In an interview later said the Admin istration had always regarded the treaty as nothing more or less than an Interpretation of the customs adminis trative act; and that the view accepted in some quarters that the agreement is a series of special concessions to Ger many, is entirely erroneous. Moreover, the Administration fully Intended that the agreement should stand for all countries. New Washington Rural Routes. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 12.

NAVAL OFFICER RECALLED Scandal of French Naval Spies Widening Its Scope. PARIS. Nov. 12. A special dispatch from Wilhelmshaven, Prussia, reporting that Rear-Admiral Slegel. the German naval attache here, had been recalled, is printed here as an item of sensational news, presumably in connection with a recent discovery of treason In the French navy and espionage on the part of agents of a foreign power. Ensign Charles Ullmo, of the French navy, was arrested at Toulon, October 25, on the charge of being a spy. An ex amination of his effects showed him to have been in possession of many valu able documents, and he afterward con fessed to having abstracted a secret sig nal book and the naval cipher. An army reserve officer named Burton was after ward arrested on similar charges. At Toulon five alleged ringleaders of an association of Internal spies, who had apparently been carrying on a traffic in military and naval secrets, were arrested arid it was understood that warrants have been issued for the apprehension of sev eral others. The authorities of Toulon yesterday searched the lo ill postoffice and among other tilings found a telegram apparently sent by Ensign ' Ullmo to a German agent, offering to sell information con cerning the defenses of France. The German Embassy later lss-ued a statement confirming the report of the recall of Rear-Admiral Slegel, but saying that it was solely due to his appointment to a new post In Germany. 31 Bank Depositors!

DENIES POWER OF COMMISSION Harriman Says It Violates His Rights Under Constitution. NEW YORK, Nov. 12. The reasons given by K. H. Harriman why he should not answer certain questions put to him during an investigation by the Interstate Commerce Commission are set forth in a brief which has been filed by ex-Judge R. S. Lovett, counsel for Mr. Harriman. The proceedings brought by the Commission to compel Mr. Harriman to answer the questions are to come up before Judge Hough of the United States Circuit Court tomor row. The principal point in the brief Is the contention that the acts concerning which Mr. Harriman was questioned did not relato to Interstate commerce nor to a violation of the interstate commerce act, but were designed to compel disclosures by him of trans actions for which, "had they taken place, neither the Commission nor the Congress of the United States could afford a Constitutional remedy." The brief also sets forth that Mr. Harri man does not admit that the Interstate Commerce Commission has any powers other than those conferred by act of Congress approved February 4, 18S7, and the amendments thereto. The questions to which Mr. Harriman ob jected related to th purchase of stock of other railways in the Interests of the Union Pacific and to the Union Pa cific dividend. Questions He Would Not Answer. In regard to the $28,030,000 of Illinois Central Railway stock purchased- at $175 a share, the questions which Mr. Harriman declined to answer were as follows: Were the 9000 shares sold by yourself, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Stlllman pooled? Was it acquired for the purpose of Belling It to the Union Pacific? Waa the stock purchased by you at a much lower price than $175 with the Intention .of turning it over to the Union Pacific? Did you have any interest in 15,000 shares sold at the time by Kuhn. Loeb & Co. to the Union-Pacific? On the subject of the Union Pacific dividend, which was advanced from a rate of 6 per cent to 10 per cent per annum on August 15, 1906, with a consequent rise In the price of the stock, Mr. Harriman declined to answer the following: Were you directly or Indirectly Interested in any stocks that were bought between the 18th of July and the 17th of August that appreciated? Did you or any director buy any Union and Southern Pacific stock in anticipation of that dividend? In the brief the fallowing reasons are gleen why Mr. Harriman should Hot give the information sought by the Commission: First Said Questions did not relate to nmmerce with foreign nations or among the several states or with the Indian tribes or to any transaction in such commerce, nor. however answered, would they tend to show any violation of the provisions of the said act to regulate commerce or any othtr law of the United States or any law which Con gress could constitutionally enact and mako operative upon any corporation created by and deriving Its franchises and powers from a state: but raid questions did relate to the business and affairs of this respondent, hav ing no relation to such commerce, and wert designed to compel a disclosure by this re spondent to a purely administrative body of transactions for which, had they taken place, neither the said Commission nor the Con gress of the United States could afford a con stitutional, remedy. Violates Constitutional Rights. The second contention is that, if the act approved in 1887 be construed to give, the Interstate Commerce Commis sion power to inquire into the business of Mr. Harriman having no relation to interstate commerce, such construction is in violation of the Constitution of the United States and void. The third contention is that to com pel response to the questions asked, save in a court of competent jurisdic tion, would deprive the despondent (Mr. Harriman) of-liberty without due proc ess of law, contrary to article 5 -of the amendments to the Constitution of the United States. The fourth contention Is that the questions did not relate to the business of the Union Pacific Railway Company, the Southern Pacific Company, the Or egon Short Line Railway Company, the Southern -Pacific Company, the Oregon Shore Line Railway and the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company as common carriers, nor to the Interstate transportation of goods or persons by uch companies. No Power to Make Inquiry. It is set forth in the fifth paragraph of the contentions why response should not be given that the Commission's in quiry, at whch the questions, were asked, was not based on any complaint Of anything done or omitted to be done by the companies named above in con travention of the interstate commerce law. The sixth point raised by Judge Lovett is that. If the Interstate com merce act be construed as authorizing and empowering te Commission, in the conduct o an Inquiry or investigation without any complaint having been made to it or any statement of charges contained in any such com plaint having been presented to any such common carrier or the respondent (Mr. Harriman), to put the said ques tions to this respondent and require him to answer the same, such is In violation of the provision of article 6 of the amendments to the Constitution of the United. States, which provides that no person shall be deprived of liberty or property without process of law. - The seventh and last declaration .is that the order made bV the Interstate Commerce Commission on November 15, 1906, on the subject Is so general, vague and indefinite In its terms as to fail to define any matter as being under inves tigation whether with respect to the Union Pacific Railway Company or any other person or corporation, and the said questions were not pertinent or rele vant to any inquiry alleged or claimed to have been authorised hereby.
