CM FOR ACTION
ON LAND GRITS
Hawley Urges House Commit
tee to Pass the Fulton
' Resolution.
TELLS OREGON'S WRONGS
iMtu Committee Considers Question
After Hearing 'ccessity of Action..
Resolution Sent to Sub
committee by Mondell.
ORTDGOXIAN XEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Feb. Xv Senator Fulton's resolu.
tlon authorizing the Department of Jus
tice to Institute suit against the Oregon
& California Railroad Company was re
ferred to the House committee on public
land, instead' of to the committee on
judiciary, as had been anticipated.
It rame over from the Senate only yes
terday, and this morning Representative
Hawley, who was the first member of the
delegation to take active interest in the
KOlution of the land grant problem, .ap
peared before the land committee and
made an exhaustive explanation of the
resolution and necessity for 'its early
pa.ssape. Ho went into the history of
the grant, pointed out the manner in which
the railroad company has violated and
icnored the law, and also impressed on
the committee the fact that the Depart
ment of Justice is unable to proceed until
Congress especially authorizes suit.
Mr. Hawley succeeded in demonstrating
to the committee the importance of this
matter to Oregon, and closed with an
urcent plea for a favorable report.
Representative Mondell, chairman of the
public lands committee, thought the
phraseology of the resolution should be
examined Into before any action is taken
and therefore referred' it to a sub-committee
for a preliminary report.
Mondell would alter the phraseology
of the Ten Commandments if they should
be referred to his committee, so his action
today is not significant. Mr. Hawley pro
poses to press the resolution as rapidly
as possible, and present indications point
to early action.
ment to go responsible a. position should
not have been made. It was pointed out
that he was connected with the Postofflce
Department during the recent scandals,
holding a position of tryst, and it was
sairt that he should have been cognizant
of the wrongdoing on the part of his su
periors. It was shown, however, that Mr. Grand
field received the promotion to First As
sistant Postmaster-Geenral because of his
long service in the department, end that
he had earned an enviable reputation.
It was also intimated that the appoint
ment was in the interest of tho nomina
tion of Secretary Taft for President, Mr.
Grandfleld having been the chief clerk
undr ex-First Assistant Postmaster-General
Hitchcock, who is now a Taft man
ager. This suggestion elicited no re
sponse, however, and Mr. Grandfleld was
confirmed without a rollcall.

ing bombs. The place is just beneath
the flat formerly occupied by Mrs. Mar

West streets, and in the rear of a butc.ier
shop occupied by J. D. Burbank.
Burbank states that Mrs. Martin de
cided to use the store-house at one time
and instructed him to guard it, and to
shoot down anyone who attempted to en
ter it on any pretext whatever. Burbank
considered the woman of unsound mind,
and paid little attention to her. He saw
her taking things there from time to time.
The place is owned by Mrs. Martin, and
Burbank Is her tenant. A thorough search
of the entire premises will be made by
the officers tomorrow and it is believed

STRUCK BY ELECTRIC CAR.
Prince Thrown From Seat, but Wife
Alights Safely and Coolly Holds
the Rearing Horses.
THE HAGUE, Feb. 26. Queen WUhel
mlna and Prince Henry, her husband, had
a narrow escape from serious injury in
a carriage accident which occurred near
the palace today. The Prince was driv
Ing the carriage, in which Her Majesty
was seated. In a narrow part of the
road. ' an electric car, coming at full
speed, collided with the vehicle before
the Prince could turn out. The -impact
was very severe, and the carriage was
badly wrecked, three wheels being torn
off. Fortunately, neither the Queen nor
the Prince was hurt. Her Majecty was
somewhat unnerved, but she was able to
walk to- the palace. Shortly afterward
she left tho palace and went to the rest
dence of her mother in order to reassure
her and prove that she had not been in
jured. '
Had it not been for the promptness of
the motorman on the car shutting off
the current and Jammingdown the brakes
tho royal phaeton would have been
crushed to pieces. As It was, the vehicle
was thrown against one of tlis iron
standards carrying the electric wire and
pinned between this post and the car it
self. Had the car run a foot further tho
carriage would have been completely de
molished. The shock of the collision threw Prince
Henry from his seat, but the Queen,
with great presence of mind, jumped from
the phaeton and alighted safely. She had
seized, the bridles of the rearing horses
before the spectators of the accident had
recovered sufficiently to render assistance.
The Queen and Prince Henry subse
quently walked in the palace park, where
the . collected crowd gave evidence of its
joy at their escape. - -
