White House Conference Will Pro.

and May Cause a Cessatitm
of Trust Prosecutions.
WASHINGTON, March 12. An impor
tant conference was held at the White
House last night and in a sense was con
iinuea loaay, respecting- amendments to
the Sherman anti-trust law. The changes
In the law. it is expected, will be pro
posed along the lines suggested by the
conference of the Civic Federation held
in Chicago a few weeks ago. No concrete
results were reached and it Is Iikely
that further conferences will be held.
The. Frcsident. It is understood, is de
sirous that a bill embodying the conclu
sions of the conference, if anv he
reached, be submitted to Congress for
passage at this session.
Participating In ths conference were
the President, Secretary Root. Secretary
Garfield, Attorney-General Bonanartc.
Herbert Knox Smith, Commissioner of
Corporations; Seth Low, ex-Mayor of
New York; Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor;
Victor Morawetz, general counsel for the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad,
and Francis Lynda Stetson, of the firm
of J. P. Morgan & Co.. of New Tork.
Rejuvenate Anti-Trust Law.
Mr. Smith presented in tentative shape
some of the ideas offered at the Civic
Federation conference in Chicago. The
suggestions were made in the form of a
bill, but It had not been reduced to defi
nite shape. It is said that the proposed
changes are of sweeping importance and
interest, as, crystallized Into law, they'
w-ould mean practically a rejuvenation of
the Sherman antitrust law. While no
agreement waa reached, the trend of the
discussion Indicated that a common
ground of understanding shortly will be
reached and perhaps within a week a
measure will be drafted which will be
satisfactory to all parties.
Exempt Unions and Railroad Pools.
The particular interest of the labor
officers is to secure an amendment to
the Sherman law, which will exempt
the unions from the practical operation
of the act, as conspiracies In restraint
of trade. A proposition of that kind
now is pending In Congress, but In the
opinion of some of the participants in
the White House conference, it would
be unconstitutional if enacted in its
present shape.
Amendments were proposed relating
to the operation of railroads, one pro
viding that pooling, under proper re
strictions, ought to be permitted by
law. It also was suggested that con
solidations and traffic arrangements
ought not to be permitted by connect
ing lines, under such arrangements as
would permit of abuse of that privi
lege. Control Trusts, Abandon Suits.
An important amendment was also
proposed by which there would be fur
ther regulation of corporations doing
an Interstate business, and providing
for reports from such officers to the
Department- of Commerce and Labor,
along the lines of the reports now
made by the railroads to the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Such an amend
ment, it was pointed out, would ineure
proper publicity of the operations of
interstate corporations, and' insure "the
utmost fairness in all dealings with the
people. '
It was pointed out that with the en
actment of "the amendments ' proposed,
the Government might begin anew -its
work of dealing with corporations. In
fact, it was proposed that prosecutions
now in contemplation by the Govern
ment against - corporations under the
provisions of the Sherman act be
abandoned, if the proposed amendments
should be enacted into law.

HEARING ON LAND-GRANT SUIT

BIG LUMBERMEN INNOCENT
Townscnd Shows Effect of Proposed
Changes in Resolution Elijah
Smith Admits Attempt to Get
Friendly Suit Brought.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March 12. (Special.) At today's
meeting of house public lands committee,
alleged "innocent purchasers" of Oregon
& California railroad land and their
counsel were heard at length in behalf
of the amendment to' the Fulton resolu
tion which would ostensibly validate
practically, every sale heretofore made
by the railroads, but cross-questioning of
the witnesses by B. D. Townsend, who
investigated the land grant clearly de
veloped the. fact that the proposed "in
nocent purchasers" amendment contains
a joker which in reality would have fully
protected the railroad company against
any suit which the Department of Jus
tice might institute. The entire day was
devoted to the hearing, and on Satur
day Mr. Townsend will Be heard In be
half of the resolution as it passed the
Senate and in opposition to all "innocent
purchasers" amendments.
Plea for Railroad Company.
In practically every argument made
today it was notable that counsel laid
far more stress upon' the interests of
the railroad company than upon the in
terests of their purported clients, yet
each one, when cross-questioned dis
avowed any interest in the railroad com
pany's -affairs. In 'connection with the
pleas of attorneys, it was observed that
General Land Agent Eberline, of the
Southern Pacific, who blocked sales of
railroad land in and after 1902, was
present, together with L. E. Payson,
Eastern counsel for the Harriman rail
roads, an Mr. Rich, a New Tork
banker, who holds J20.000.000 of the Ore
gon & California Company's bonds. Yet
no one professing to represent the rail
road availed himself of the opportunity
to make a statement.
Various counsel for purchasers of rail
road land were requested to suggest a
form of amendment which would protect
all innocent purchasers for value who are
not guilty of fraud. None of these
amendments made any distinction as to
who these purchasers might be.
Mr. Townsend called attention to the
fact that in 18T0 the East Side Company
conveyed its entire grant to the Oregon &
California Company, so that the com
pany, under the proposed amendments,
could be regarded as a "purchaser for
value and without fraud." The same is
true of the West Side grant under the sale
of 190. Moreover, there are two trust
deeds of 1S81. which convey the entire
land grant to the preferred stockholders
without condition. Again the "innocent
purchaser."
On July 1, 18ST. a 2O.O0O,00O mortgage
was given to the Union Trust Company.
Upon cross-examination by Mr. Townsend
it was admitted by the attorneys that, if
any of the amendments proposed by them
should be adopted, it would validate all
these conveyances and thus defeat the
entire suit of the Government against the
railroad company. Not one amendment
was proposed in the name of "innocent
purchasers" which would not fully pro
tect the railroad company.
.Innocent Rich Lumbermen.
John W. Blodgett, of Grand Rapids, on
behalf of the "majority owners of the
Booth-Kelly Lumber Company,, which
purchased 70.000 acres of railroad land,
was heard at length. He said his com
pany got selected land averaging -40.000
feet of timber per acre, stumpage running
75 cents to 90 cents per thousand. He
wanted his purchases validated by Con
gress, claiming they had been made In
nocently and without fraudulent intent.
W. S. Humphrey, of Saginaw, attorney
for other Innocent purchasers, made an
extended plea for the amendment In their
behalf, contending that the long-estab-

lished practice of selling- the land con
trary to the terms of the grant, without
objection of the Government, afforded
ample justification for protecting those
who bought in large tracts from the rail
road company. He cited Mr. Dorr's cir
cular, made famous by Senator Tillman.
and sought to construct from it the im
presslon that the whole land-grant agi
tation was started and has been kept
alive in the interest of shyster lawyers.
This intimation was promptly resented
by Congressman Hawley, who informed
the committee that the agitation grew
out of the action of the Oregon Legisla
ture.
It was intimated by another attorney
representing an innocent purchaser that
the Government does not seek to open
this land to entry and settlement,, but is
merely taking occasion to attack E. H,
Harriman. This attorney said Congress
never intended that any of the land
should revert to the Government; that,
if not sold in accordance with law, it
could be disposed of by the railroad as
it saw fit.
Elijah Smith in a Corner.
Elijah Smith, representing the South
ern Oregon Company, which acquired the
Coos Bay wagon-road grant, was the
last witness, and appeared in favor of
the innocent purchaser amendment: He
was highly embarrassed when, upon
cross-examination, Mr. Townsend brought
from him the admission that his com
pany had last July formally requested
the Attorney-General to bring suit against
it. He was forced to admit, however,
that It hoped for a purely formal suit,
which, it believed, would be decided In
its favor and confirm its title. He was
not In favor of a suit which might be de
cided against It. He said his company
also was an innocent purchaser.
DEFENSE MAKES CHARGE
FEDERAL COUNSEL SAID TO
WITHHOLD GOOD EVIDENCE.
Government, 1n Turn, Declares Ac
cused Los Angeles Men Seek
Grand Jury's Material.
LOS ANGELES. March 12. In a
somewhat dramatic ending to an all
day session In the Federal Court today,
attorneys for the defendants in the
Oregon land-fraud cases charged the
Government with attempting to with
hold documentary evidence that would
show the innocence of at least two of
the Indicted men. The Incident, fol
lowed a shrewd move on the part of
counsel for the defense. They served
a subpena upon Thomas B. Neuhausen,
Special Government Agent, compelling
him to go on the stand as a witness for
the defense.
Counsel desired to ask him whether
he had in his possession certain docu
ments that are supposed , to contain
matter favorable to two of the defend
ants. Tracy C. Becker, special assist
ant to Attorney-General Bonaparte,
made a strenuous objection to this tes
timony, and he was joined by United
States District Attorney Lawlor. Both
Government prosecutors contended that
the only way to get such evidence be
fore the court was to call the two men
as witnesses.
It was asserted that the "defense was
fishing for Government evidence, and
was apparently seeking to discover
what documents were placed in the
hands of the Oregon Federal grand
jury. Attorneys for the defense Indig
nantly denied the accusation.
United States Commissioner Van
Dyke stated that he would rule to
morrow on the various propositions In
volved. (
Admitting that an attempt was made
by Oregon men to secure Government
land by fraudulent means, the defense
in the present proceedings asserts there
1 not one particle of evidence to show
that any of the local men Indicted had
any knowledge of such land transac
tions. The hearing will not be concluded to
morrow, but attorneys expect all evi
dence will be aubmitted by Monday.

The resolutions adopted by the two

Hughes adherents won by a substantial

adopted with opposition in the Eleventh'
District Convention, although the dele-1

The results of the conventions mark at
peculiar situation existing In the two

Dickey declared that by reason of the
fact that district committees of the twoj
