TILLAMOOK BUSINESS MEN
' HOLD I X FORM AIj SESSION.
1'romit.e to Support New Company
With Large Amount of Business
if Line Is Established.
TIIJjAMOOK, Or., Feb. 20. (Special.)
laBt night a number ol the principal busi
lii'RB men and shippers got together for an
informal meeting in regard to the steamer
which is to be put on from Portland to
this city. Although.no action was taken
they were unanimous in promising to sup
port the new boat for the business men
1rel"er to trade with Portland and have
for a long time wanted a Bteamer to
run direct here from-that city. Unless
this is done soon, a large amount of the
business from here which now goes to
Portland, will go to San Francisco, where
freight rates will be one-half what they
are now from Portland. It costs the
merchants and shippers Jfi.30 a ton from
Portland to TUlamotik. There were over
40.0UO tooxes of cheese shipped from this
city to Portland last year and the dairy
men are complaining about - the cost of
shipping the home product to the Portland
markets, it costing nearly half a cent a
pound, or 28' cents a box, made up as
follows: One cent per box for wharfage in
Tillamook City; 124 cents per box from
Tillamook to Astoria, and 15 cents per
box from Astoria to Portland.
Another meeting is to be held on Satur
day afternoon, at which the dairymen are
Invited, when it will be decided whether
the business men and dairy associations
will take stock in the new proposition to
give Tillamook direct transportation facil
ities with Portland. There is not the
least doubt about the new steamer being
well' patronised by the business men and
shippers here, for this is what they have
long desired.
RUSSIA'S NEW WAR FLEET
Ovt-r 91,000,000,000 to Be Spent
In Nine Years.
ST. PKTKKrfBl'RG. Feb. 20. Represen
tatives of the Russian Admiralty sub
mitted 'today to the committee on Na
tional defense of the Douma, the finan
cial outline of the much-discussed naval
programme.
The programme is to be completed in
lPlf, and- Includes not only the conbtruu-
tion of a fleet, of battleships., but also a
certain amount of hydros raphic work at
several ports. The expenditures Involved
amount to Jl.WS.OOO.OOO, and increase year
ly from 143,500,000 for 1908 to a maximum
of $126,000,000 In the 'year 1914. The expen
diture then decreases to $S5,000.000 in 1918
and the subsequent expenditures are to
be maintained at . this figure. - One of
the features of the programme Is a dupli
cate complement of guns for every ship
to be constructed.
In reply to a question, Admiral Wire
nius, chief of the general staff of the
navy, declared that the Russian yards
would be able to handle and complete the
entire programme. The first ships are
to be completed in four years and the
others in three years.
CHINESE CASES RESUMED
Recent Ruling ' to Govern Habeas
Corpus Proceedings.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20. The first
Chinese habeas corpus case to be tried
since the recent Supreme" Court decision
in the Chin Tow case began before Judge
Dehaven today. Wing See Ten, who con
tends that he was unjustly denied ad
mission to the country by Commissioner
of Immigration North, attempted to get
the evidence reviewed in the United
States District Court before the question
whether the hearing before the Com
mission had been fair had been decided
upon.
Judge Dehaven, following the ruling In
the Chin Tow case, would not hear the
evidence until the other point had been
determined. Chin Tow, the question of
whose admission has become a test case,
has been detained In San Francisco three
years pending hearing and re-hearlng.
Appeal . From Sailors' Verdict.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20.-Argument
was heard In the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals by Judges Gilbert, Ross
and Morrow today In the appeal ,of the
Northwestern Steamship Company from
the decision of District Judge Hanford of
Seattle, which awarded JiJO damages to
each of 38 sailors of the steamer Tacoma
for hardships suffered. These men were
shipped at Seattle January 39, 1905, for a
voyage to Vladivostok, with a cargo of
salted meats, ostensibly for a merchant of
that city but in reality for. the Russian
government. They were overhauled by a
Japanese cruiser, which seized the Ta
coma. put a prize crew aboard and took
her to Yokohama. '

ARE AFTER T3ILETZ TIMBER
SETTLERS COMPLAIX OF THE
SCHEME AMONG LAWYERS.
Special Agent Will Investigate.
Lafferty indignantly Denies Any
thing to Warrant the Charge. ,
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, FeJ. 20. At tho instance of Sena
tor Bourne, the Commissioner 'of the Gen
eral' Land Office has directed Special
Agent Glavls to investigate alleged con
spiracy on the part of certain Portland
attorneys to dispossess homesteaders of
'holdings in the Siletz Indian Reservation
and to exact blackmail from settlers
against whom contests have been insti
gated. '
The action of the Commissioner
grows out of complaints filed with
Senator Bourne by Lee Smith and Eva
C. Smith, of Dallas, that contests had
been filed against them by Joseph
Parker, and that later they received
letters from William Gv Gosslln, offer
ing: to arrange with the contestant for
a consideration, and from A. W. Laffer
ty offering to guarantee a patent- for
$500.
Many similar cases are known to
exist, and the department will investi
gate with a view to prosecution of the
parties found guilty of crime In rela
tion to extensive -contesting of Siletz
homesteaders. .
LAFFERTY DEFENDS HIMSELF
Is Supporting Smiths In Fight to
Maintain Claims.
A. W. Lafferty, when shown the above
dispatch, made the following statement:
"The connection of my name with
those trying to dispossess Siletz settlers
or . levy blackmail upon them is out
rageously false. It Is true that t offered
to defend the Smith contests for a con
tingent fee of J500 each, and guarantee a
patent or no fee, and that is my usual
fee for such cases when I guarantee to
win or charge no fee. The Smith claims
are worth at least 110.000 . each. The de
fense of the canes will involve an im
mense amount of work. After the trials
here the cases will go to the Commis
sioner of the General Land Office, and
then to the Secretary of the Interior.
The litigation will last a year and a half
at the shortest. In all my cases I ap-
Jpear aX Washington twice, once when
the cases are before the Commissioner
and again .when they are before the Secretary-
Besides, I file briefs that it takes
weeks to prepare.
"Lee Smith was contested by Joseph
Parker, and Eva C. Smith was contested
by F. W Newell. Lee Smith told me
some time ago .that one y. G. Goslin
had written him pretending to have au
thority to get Parker to dismiss for a
consideration. I told Smith to give Gos
lin nothing and to report the matter to
the General Land Office, and advised
him that, should Parker dismiss, some
one else would probably file another con
test, leaving him where he was before.
"I have steadfastly refused to take a
single contest against one of these set
tlers. The result is that I am employed
in the defense of nearly every one. I
employed ex-Senator John M. Gearln to
assist me in these cases, and he gets
half my fee Jn every case in which he
appears.
"The Siletz Indian reservation was
opened to settlement under a three-year
hornestead act only. ' Claims there could
be taken tinder that act and no other.
It is the heaviest body bf fir timber in
the world today. Poor people were at
tracted to these claims and took them up
and lived there for three years, made
proof and went away. They were sus
pended by a blanket order of the Secre
tary of the Interior November 12, 1903,
and were held up from that time until I
took up their cause about a year ago.
No contests were filed until special
agents of the General Land Office had
first made charges against many of the
entries and notified the entrymen that
they would have to face a Government
hearing looking to the cancellation of
the-entries.
"There cannot possibly be a farm made
In that locality in the next 10 years and
the entries should be patented to the
first crop of settlers. To cut all that
timber down now, when there is no mar
ket for it, would be a commission of
waste against future generations and
would be criminal. When railroads are
built into the vicinity, the claim holders
can sell the logs off their claims for $100
or, more -per acre, and 'then the claims
f will be valuable for farms and orchards
and can be made -into real homes, and
not before." '

Makes Test Cases on Perjury and
Forgery Charges Against In- ' '
surance Officials.
NEW TORK. Feb. 20. John R. Heg
' eman, president of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company, presented
himself at the office of the District At
torney today and was formally, placed
under-arrest on charges of perjury and
forgery. The charges are the same on
which Mr. Hegeman was Indicted re
cently. There t were seven charges of
forgery and three of perjury.
When the indictments were returned.
Judge Dowling dismissed the forgery
charges and sustained those alleging
perjury. District Attorney Jerome and
J. D. Lindsay, counsel for liegeman,
expressed dissatisfaction with Justice
Dowling's action and it was agreed that
an appeal be taken. It is said that
upon the decision which will result
from the appeal will hang all the pend
ing prosecutions against various insur
ance officials in matters of annual re
ports. Immediately after his arrest Hege
jnan was arraigned in the Police Court
and held. A few moments later Judge
Platzek, in the Supreme Court, issued
a writ of habeas corpus directing the
warden of the Tombs to produce Mr.
Hegeman in the Supreme Court this
afternoon. When Hegeman was taken
to the Supreme Court, the writ of ha
beas corpus was dismissed by agree
ment and he wtis paroled in the cus
tody of one of the District Attorney's
detectives, pending an appeal to the ap
pellate division of the' Supreme Court.
