THE MORXING OREGOXIAN. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1908.
BREAK GRIP OF
L
Senator Fulton Fathers Reso
lution Authorizing Fil
ing of Suits.
ON GOVERNMENT'S BEHALF
Two Complaints AVill Be Put In, One
Against Southern Pacific Com
pany and Other Against the
Purchasers From Grantees.
First of thp Government's active teps
toward breaking the land grip of the
Southern Pacific in Oregon is marked by
the Fulton resolution, which appeared in
the Senate last Tuesday, directing the
Department of Justice to begin court pro
ceedings to enforce the rights of the Unit
ed States. The railroad for nearly 40
years has ignored important terms of the
Oreeon & California land grants, that
favored the public; namely, that the
lands nhould be sold at a price not ex
ceeding $2.."0 an acre, only to actual
settlers and in tracts of not more than
160 acres to each purchaser. These suils
will Involve close to 3,000,000 acres, held
by the railroad and by persons who have
bought from the railroad in violation of
the terms of the grant.
The resolution also directs the Depart
ment of Justice 'to start suits to enforce
the rights of the United Slates as to the
wagon road grant between Coos Bay and
Hoseburg, ) where 92.000 acres of land are
held by the Southern Oregon Company
a group of non-resident landlords, chiefly
William W. Crapo, William J. Rotch,
Elijah Smith, president, and Prosper W.
Smith. These men are residents of New
York and Boston. According to the terms
of this grant, made in IStiSt, the lands
were to be sold for not more than $2.50
an acre and In tracts of not more than
160 acres to each purchaser.
Roth the Southern Pacific and the
Southern Oregon Companies refuse now
to sell the lands at J2.50 an acre, and the
railroad refuses to sell at any price. Both
companies have sold large areas in bulk,
ignoring the 160-acre limit, and at prices
frequently much in excess of $2.50 an
acre. The railroad has made such, sales
to others than actual settlers.'
Suits against the two companies have
already been begun In the United States
Circuit Court by would-be purchasers,
who offer $2.50 an acre. Fourteen suits
have been filed against the railroad by
A. W. I-afferty, attorney for actual set
tlers In Columbia County. One has been
filed against the Southern Oregon by T.
S. Minot, attorney for 88 claimants of
17.000 acres in Coos County, and another
of the same kind will shortly be filed for
10 other claimants.
The Fulton resolution Is understood to
have the sanction of the Administration
and to have come originally from B. D.
Townsend, the special Government Attor
ney who probed, the railroad grant last
Summer and Fall. Townsend believed a
resolution by Congress necessary as a
preliminary to a Government suit, since
otherwise the Government suit might be
thrown out of court. Dispatches from
Washington say that Senator Fulton is
hopeful of the adoption of the resolution
by Congress. Then It may be expected
that the Government will begin the suits.
This will explain some part of the Gov
ernment's delay in acting against the
railroad and the Coos Bay Company. '
The delay has made many persons im
patient and caused them to wonder if
the work of Townsend would end In any
achievement. Townsend seems to have
been busy In Washington the last three
or four months drafting the Govern
ment's bills of complaint.
Two Suits to He Filed.
The Governmert will tile against the
railroads two sets of complaints one
against the railroad and the other against
owners of large holdings purchased from
the railroad in violation of the terms of
tlie grants. It Is expected to tile two
series of complaints against the Coos
Kay Company and holders of big tracts
acquired from its grant. The suits In
equity will ask either for forfeiture of the
land remaining in the railroad's posses
sion, or for a decree ordering its sale by
the railroad in compliance with the terms
of the railroad grant. The proceedings
against the purchasers of land will be
based on the contention that the deeds
are void because attempting to convey
title in violation, of law.
Consternation has reigned among pur
chasers of the land since it became known
that they were to be swopt up in the Gov
ernment's dragnet. This has brought
much satisfaction to the railroad, which
is glad enough that it is not to be alone
in the Government's endeavor to force
the railroad to comply with the terms of
the land; grants. Among the biggest pur
chasers are C. T. Smith, In Coos; J. At. K.
Wingate, in Douglas; Booth-Kelly Lum
ber Company, in Lane; A. B. Hammond,
Hammond & Winton and Hammond Lum
ber Company, in Tillamook; Curtiss Lum
ber Company, in Linn; Oleon Land Com
pany, In Tillamook. and: S. C. Hopkins, in
Klamath and Jackson.
Numerous other persons and companies
hold railroad land of ino acres and more
who are wondering If they will be defend
ants. Tho Government suits promise to
Involve" big interests and to make one of
the biggest anti-grab stirs in the United
States.
Retains Big Lawyers.
The importance which the railroad ab
ta 'hes to the matter is shown by the
railroad's securing eminent legal counsel
John C. Spooner, ex-Senator, of Wiscon
sin, and John B. Jlilburn. of New York.
W. F. Herrtn, of San Francisco, chief
counsel of the Southern Pacific, will con
tribute his services, also W. D. Fenton,
of Portland, local attorney for the South
ern Paciilc.
The Fulton resolution was reported by
the judiciary committee of the Senate, of
which Fulton is a member, as a substi
tute for tho Tillman resolution. Jt ap
pears that Tillman offered his resolution,
calling for information why the Govern
ment was not taking action against the
railroad, at the Very time the Fulton sub
stitute resolution was In preparation.
The railroad grants, two in number,
were made by the Government In acts'
passed, between 1!66 and 1S70. for aiding
construction of a railroad from Portland
to Ashland, starting on tho east side of
the Willamette River, and from Portland
to McMlnnville, running on the west side.
According to Townsend's report, the
"provlsionsi of the grant restricting the
eales have never been respected. Sub
stantial violations of the terms of tte
grants occurred from the very begin
ning." The land of the Southern Oregon Com
pany was granted pursuant to an act of
IWS, glvtng over land to tha State of Ore
gun (which passed it on to the Coos Bay
Wagon Road Company, subject to the
terms of Congress), to aid construction of
wagon road from Roseburg to Coos
Laf.
History of the Grant.
The land patented to tho wagon road
company was- J05.000 acres. In 175 the
S5,5 acres of the land were sold by that
MONOPOLY
company to John filler, alias Ambrose
Woodroof, for $1 an acre, and by him
were transferred on, June 22, 1875, to Collis
P. Huntington, Charles Crocker, Iceland
Stanford and Mark Hopkins for $35,000.
On March 27, 1SS2. Huntington. Stanford
and Hopkins conveyed their interests in
tlie purchase to CYocker, who, on De
cember 20. 1SS3. conveyed the whole to
William H. Besee. Seven days later
Besse transmitted it to Russell Gray,
who on January 5, 1884, passed it on to
the Oregon Southern Improvement Com
panj. In 18S7 the land was transmitted, on a
mortgage foreclosure, to William J. Rotch
and William W. Crapo, who immediately
organized the Southern Oregon Company
to take the land, which still professes to
own it in fee simple.
Meanwhile, on January 7, 18S4. tho Coos
Bay Wagon Road Company, holding 61,14.1
acres remaining, sold them to William H.
Besse for $!)1,715. by warranty deed, and
he, on June 4. 1884. sold by warranty deed
to tlie Oregon Southern Improvement
Company.
Grant Is Violated.
Both the Southern Pacific and the
Southern Oregon Company will be at
tacked by the Government, on the ground
that they have violated the terms of the
arrant by ignoring the "condition subse
quent that is. the condition attached to
the grant, subject to which they received
land from the Government, as to $2.50
an acre price, and actual-settler and ISO
acre limitations. Should the court order
the land forfeited to the Government, it
will become a part of the public domain
to be disposed of as Congress may de.
termlne. Should the court order fulfill
ment of the condition subsequent by the
two companies, the land claimants who
have brought suit against them will prob
ably have first claim to the land they
seek.
This advantage is evidently that which
they have in view. The burden of the
prosecution will rest on the Government
and they will be in a position to get first
benefits from its success.
BURIED AT FORMER HOME
Mrs. Susan Mynatt, Pioneer of '53,
Passes Away.
The body of Mrs. Susan Mynatt, pioneer
of 1S53. who died at her home 148 Kast

shipped to Riddles. Dougles County, her
former home where the funeral was con
ducted yesterday in the presence of her
children and friends. Mrs. Mynatt was
born In Piatt County, Missouri, April 5,
and was married to W. R. Mynatt
June 6. 1S52. A year later they crossed
the plains to Oregon in a prairie schooner,
making their home first in Linn and then
in Douglas County, near Riddles, where
they lived on a farm nearly 40 years.
Mr. Mynatt died in 1891, when Mrs. Mynatt
and family moved to Salem and then to
Portland, where she resided 'till death
came.

dren: Mrs. D. H. Smyth, Harney County;

OILER INSTANTLY KILLED
Leon P. Simons Whirled to Death
Around Shaft.
Leon P. Simons, an oiler, 20 years of
age, was Instantly killed at the Clark &
Wilson Lumber Mill, at Linnton, vester
day afternoon, and the body was taken
in charge by Coroner Finley, who Inves
tigated the accident.
According to eye . witnesses to the
tragedy, Simons was attempting to climb
across the shaft, and in some manner
his clothing became caught and he was
whirled around at terrific speed, and
when the machinery was stopped and
ills body taken down life was extinct.
The body was frightfully mangled and
the clothing had been entirely torn off.
The deceased is married and his wife
is in a delicate condition, and fears are
entertained as to her surviving the shock
caused by the death of her husband.
Antone L. Simons, father of the unfor
tunate young man, is one of the mill
wrights employed by the lumber com
pany, and recently secured the position
of oiler for his son, whom he had cau
tioned repeatedly against trying to climb
over the shaft in making his rounds of
the machinery. Yesterday, however, the
young man became careless of the pa
rental injunction and attempted the pas
sage which resulted In his death.
THINKS STREET HER BED
Intoxicated Woman Tries to Retire
in Open and Is Arrested.
A well-dressed woman who save the
name of Mary Jones was arrested at 11
o'clock last night by Policeman Burke,
at Garfield avenue and Alberta street,
while she was making the extraordinary
attempt of going to bed on the street.
She was intoxicated. Drawing off her
Jacket, she addressed the officer, and,
pointing to the electric arc light which
was burning at the corner, said: "Turn
out the light. I want to go to bed and
I cannot sleep with a light in the room."
"Here." said the policeman, '"you can't
go to bed in the street. Tell me where
you live and I will take you home."
The woman said that she lived nearby
and the two started off. .
After coming to a house three blocks
away which the woman claimed as her
homo, the policeman found that another
family lived there, so they started out
again, and after trying no less than
four different houses in different parts of
the neighborhood, the policeman gave up
the search for the woman's domicile in
disgust and took her to the police sta
tion, where she was locked up for the
night.
AFTER STRIKEBREAKERS
Kcason Why Alaska Mineowncrs
Pay $5 a Day.
Samuel Rudensey, special representative
of the Mineowncrs' Association of the
Tanana district, Alaska, confirms the
story that the workmen being recruited
here for work in the mines are intended
as strikebreakers.
"The miners do not want the open
shop." said Mr. Rudensey, "while the
mineowncrs insist upon it. This is the
reason we are compelled to hunt for men
throughout the Pacific Coast territory.
Operators in tlie Tanana district will In
sist upon the open shop but as yet there
has been no violence of any kind. We
want these men to work at Fairbanks,
Alaska, and a written guarantee is given
tlie men at Seattle as to work and the
conditions under which we employ our
men. We have so far enlisted 62 men in
Portland for the Far North and? more are
being enrolled every day. We are pay
ing $5 a day and board for minors and the
men are expected to work 10 hours."

OIES IN THE SOUTH
Robert Galloway's Career Is
Cut Short by Death.
PROMINENT AS A LAWYER
Prosecutor of -Juvenile Court Suc
cumbs to Tuberculosis at Sierra
Madre, Cal Funeral Will
Be Held in Portland.
Deputy District Attorney Robert Gallo
way, prosecutor for the Juvenile Court,
died at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon at
Sierra Madre. Cal., of tuberculosis. . He
went to California a short time ago in
a vain effort to regain his health. The
body will be sent to Portland, and the
interment will probably be in Riverview
Cemetery. During his last hours, in fact
for two weeks before his death, Mr. Gal
low was delirious, so that It was neces
sary to keep him under the influence of
opiates. He called continually for his in
timate Portland friends. In a pathetic
letter to John F. Logan, an intimate
friend of Mrs. Galloway, the widow tells
of her husband's last illness. Mr. Gallo-

The I .ate Robert Galloway.
way died in the prime of life, being only
.11 years old. He was born in Munro
County, Missouri, in 1S76.
Mr. Galloway, who was beloved by all
his associates, left Portland the day af
ter Christmas for Los Angeles, having
been forced by his failing health to leave
his work.' It was much against his
wishes, as he had been often importuned
to secure work out of doors, which would
build up his system.
At Los Angeles Mr. Galloway met Paul
R. Kelty, formerly of Portland, who in
duced him to go to Sierra Madre. a short
distance from the city. Here he Improved
at first, but his health soon began to
fail again.
Mr. Galloway came from an old Dela
ware family. Judge Galloway, of the
Third Judicial District of Oregon, include
lng Marion, Yamhill and Tillamook
Counties, being a nephew. He was at one
time- a jockey for Marcus Daley, then a
racing magnate and later a great copper
mine owner of Montana. Coming to Pout
land, Mr. Galloway gave himself to the
study of law in Judge Carey's office, and
afterwards with Judge' Webster. He
graduated from the state law school in
1S97.' In 1S!9 he became private assist
ant to John Logan in the law library, and
when that attorney resigned in 1!X2, Mr.
Galloway became librarian. In this
capacity he served until his appointment
as Deputy District Attorney for the Juve
nile Court.
Mr. Galloway is said to have been able
to write a better brief than any other
attorney in Portland. He was the trusted
assistant of the late Judge Frazer, and
with him was a pioneer in Juvenile Court
work in the Northwest. Judge Frazer's
Juvenile Court was the second in the
United States, being patterned after that
of Judge Lindsley, of Denver. It is the
policy of the Juvenile Court never to con
vict a child, but only to establish the
child's condition and to decide what it
is best to do for him. While Judge
Frazer organized the manner of secur
ing justice, Mr. Galloway organized1 the
method of prosecution. That he was a
man of high character, of most excellent
principles and devoted to his duty, is the
opinion of all who knew him.
A number of Mr. Galloway's friends will
take charge of the body when it arrives
here. The date and place of the funeral
are to be decided later. Mr. Galloway's
7-year-old boy. Brace, is reported to be
seriously ill with pneumonia at Sierra
Madre. It is feared he cannot live.

Alleged Forger Said to Have
Made Away With $10,000.
UNABLE TO RAISE BONDS
Appeals to l-'athcr for Aid, but the
Voung New Yorker Will Bo Kept
In Jail Till Taken Kast
for
His , Trial.
It is now known that the fugitive from
New York City, Howard C. Green, ex-private
secretary, to J. C. Fargo, president
of tho American Express Company, who
was arrested in this city on Wednesday
night and who is wanted by the police of
the Eastern metropolis for forgery, le
much deeper in his trouble than was first
supposed, and that discoveries have been
made which show that his forgeries have
amounted to over $10,000.
A telegram received yesterday by Chief
Gritzmacher from James McCafferty, in
spector of the New York City detective
bureau, stated: "District Attorney will
send man at once for Green. Amount of
forgeries now over $10,000."
When arrested on Wednesday night
Green made the most emphatic statement
to Chief Gritzmacher and Henry von
Groenewald, of the inketon Detective
Bureau, who had effected his -arrest, to
the effect that there was nothing wrong
with his leaving New York and that lie
could clear himself immediately on his
arrival there. Ho feels keenly the dis
grace which attaches to his arrest, and
yesterday morning telegraphed his father,
who is prominently identified, with the
Goodyear Rubber Company, in an effort
to have bond given for him in New York,
so that he could return without having
to go in the custody of an officer.
It is understood that prominent New
York people, interceded for Green and
tried to arrange this for him, but their
efforts were fruitless, as a telegram later
instructed Chief Gritzmacher that tho
District Attorney of New York would not
listen to Green's propositions and would
not run tha risk of letting him have his
liberty.
It Is also understood that a strenuous
fight will be made to land Green behind
the penitentiary bars by Mr. Fargo and
the American Bankers' Association,
which represents the Hamilton Bank, of
New York, on which most of Qreen's
forgeries are said to have been commit
ted. It was first supposed that Green's
forgeries had amounted to only $1137.43,
and that added to. this he had juggled
his accounts to make a total defalcation
of $550.

NEW YORK. Feb. 20. The arrest of

played with him since his college days. Hughes is a big personality. He's worth

J A wonderfully interesting article on the " Freezing of George Washington " is illus
trated by photographs of newspaper articles, showing how bitterly the father of his
country was attacked in the press of his day. One editorial writer began his arraign
ment of Washington as follows :

and I differ from C. W. Hodson. He
