THE MORXrXG OREGOXIAN. TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1908. T BUSY IN Two Organizers for Indepen dence Party Make Port land Headquarters. BOAST OF THEIR SUCCESS Amort That Many Hermits Are Found In City and That State Offers Splendid Field Flan a Mass Convention. Edward Rainry and J. !. Kighoz, Va. e.?'i Toast nrjfanizprs of W. R. IfnarRt's Inrifpendnce party, are doinsr sotne rnprifptio work in Portland preliminary to fHtabllfthing that political organiza tion In Orojron. FUcruits are beings en listed daily in this city and an ex tensive correspondence with prospen tlve converts In the other cities of the state will he followed by some vigor ous missionary work. When the prin ciples of the nr-w political party have been advertised and sufficient interest has been arouspd throughout the state, it Is proposed to call a mass nictinK1 for the double purpose of selecting delegates to the National convention, -vhirh. will probably be held in Chicago In July, and nominating candidates for Presidential electors for the November r.ppt. on. It is proposed to hold this mass meeting early in the Summer. Friends of direct legislation are be ing appealed to especially and, Urarsts's representatives declare, many are Identifying themselves with the movement for a third party. Mr. Rainey says the Independence party has been organized and Is thoroughly estnbllshed in 2- states. The states on the Atlantic Coast are reported to have an Independence party organization that casts a large vote at every elec tion. Agents are now organizing the party In the Southern States and It Is expected that by the time the July con vention Is held every state will be rep repented by delegates. Find Many Convert.. Rainey and Klgholz assert that they pre much encouraged with prospects in Oregon. Since they have arrived in Iort!and thoy have received numerous letters from other cities throughout the state requesting them to visit those points in person to explain the princi ples of the Independence party. The organizers will visit as many of these cities ns their time will permit in order that the party organization in Oregon may he ss representative of the state as possible. In addition to the work In this state, Rainey and Klgholz have ha rge of the task of organizing: the party In Washington and Idaho. '"It is particularly amusing to me to witness the wrangle in this state over Statement No. i." said Mr. Kigholz yesterday. "I suppose that the people of Oregon come as nearly electing their Senators by direct vote as It Is possible for them to do under state statutes. I tut the Independence party does not propose to effect popular election of Senators by state laws. We aim at the fountain head of the trouble and pro pose to amend the Constitution of the Cnited States so as to compel the elec tion of Senators by the direct vote of the people. Direct legislation Is one f the foremost principles for which the independence party stands and that will be contended for in National as well as state and municipal affairs. Advocate the Recall. "We also advocate the recall, believing that It Is entirely proper and advisable for the people to have the power and right lo depose their unfaithful legislators and public servants. If the people of Oregon had had such a club In their hands for the last few years, they would not now tlnd themselves confronted with 19 dif ferent measures on which they will be i called to vote at the June election. Fear j of the recall would have a surprising effect on your legislator, who would not he. liable to propose legislative measures distasteful to his constituents and on wliicli the referendum could be called, neither woutd he hesitate to offer for en act men t such measures as the electors iiilpht desire and which, under your pres ent system, must be submitted by the Initiative. "It would have a splendid influence and is just what the peopl need We wnuld not dispense with the initiative and referendum, by any means, but would reserve that for emergency purposes. With the recall, however, the practical uses of the initiative and referendum would be curtailed largely. There would he few objectionable measures to refer to the people who would have no trouble through their legislators to secure fair and reasonable legislation without re sorting to the initiative. "The comments of the press Demo cratic and Republican alike have not be.-n unfriemilv to the Independence party and Its principles. It is a significant fact that we find Republican papers, which have never found any Democratic doc trine to approve, and Democratic papers which have never been known to applaud a Republican principle, both, as a rule, recognizing the Independence party and Its policies. Tired of Old Fartie. "We are -much encouraged with the In terest the people of Oregon are taking in the Independence party. After yxars of hard righting, they ore now enjoving direct legislation. They have tired of the old political parties and favor a new organization, believing it is easier to se cure reforms through a new political party than It would be to undertake to reform either of the old parties. We are enrolling every day In our organnzaton prominent and influential business and professional men. not only In this city, but throughout the state. The laboring people naturally are interested in the Independence party because of the logical principles It advocates. "As an Instance of the rapidity with which- our organization is growing. T would refer to a recent election In i-os Angeles. ChI.. one of the strongest R 0 publican cities in the country. Tfle elec tion was held Just five weeks after we had organized the Independence party In that city and we polled a total of' WO votes, or the second highest vote of any other political party participating in the election. With a strong sentiment in this Vtate for direct legislation, which is one of the essential principles of the Inde pendence party, we expect to note an equally rapid growth of our organization in this state."

T New York Grand Jury Reports Against Attorney-General Jackson. ASKS IT TO BE EXPLAINED Jackson Protests to Court Against Legality of Action and Says That Statute Referring to Secrecy Has Been Violated. NF.W YORK. March 30. The March grar.d jury filed today with Judge Foster, in the Court of General Ses sions, the following paper: "Testimony has been given before the grand jury affecting the integrity of the Attorney-General of the state, and an offer has been extended to the Attorney-General to appear before the grand jury to give testimony in re gard thereto. The Attorney-General has appeared and testified and there appears to be a conflict In respect to matters brought before us. The office of Attorney-General is one of such transeendant Importance in the admin istration of the business of the state and the confidence of the people of the state In the integrity of the Attorney General is so essential to the public, welfare that we call the attention of your honor to it, and request the clerk of the court to transmit this present ment and a copy of the testimony of the proceedings to the Governor of New York, the President of the Senate of the state and the Speaker of the Assembly of New York for action." After receiving the document. Judge Foster said he had received a communi cation from the Attorney-General that in the event of any paper being filed In re gard to him. he wanted an opportunity to ask that it be expunged from the rec ord before being made public as "entirely Illegal and scandalous." After instruct ing the secretary of the grand jury to read the paper. Judge Foster said he would place it on file and determine later what course he would take with regard to it. Attorney-General Jackson said to night that he would move immediate ly to have the grand Jury . report stricken from the court record. He said: "I consider that the grand jurv. in making any such report, violates the statute in reference to the secrecy of grand jury proceedings.

ASSAILED BY CAL1F0RNIANS Continued From PIrat Paye.) been improperly used, but In reply Aion dell suggested that there had been false entries In the Forestry Service books to cover up the expenses. Conies to Attack Again. The amendment was adopted, and its adoption served to make Mondell more aggressive. He followed up his success and attacked the bureau"s publicity de partment and offered an amendment pro hibiting the use of any part of the ap propriation to pay for any newspaper or magazine articles advertising the bu reau's work. Scott again sprang to the defense of Mr. Pinchot and read a letter from him justifying the news items on the ground that it was necessary to convert scientific knowledge into common knowledge and that the prelodlcal press was the best means of distributing the information. The subject was discussed for some time, when Mondell insisted that he was not opposing the distribution of the in formation when given out in a proper way. His amendment did not. he de clared, reach those news items bearing the statement that the news emanated from the Forestry Bureau. The amend ment was adopted. The chair overruled a point of order against another amendment by Mondell providing that no part of the appropria tion shall be used for the administration of any land in a National forest in a township in which less than 50 per cent of the land is public land and less than one-fourth of the public land is tim bered. After discussion the amendment was lost. Democrats Arouse Cannon's Ire. Williams of Misssistppl opposed a mo tion by Scott to lay the bill aside and forced a vote by tellers. The motion carried. 57 to 45. Williams filibustered again on a motion to adjourn. By a vote of 65 to 45, a strict party vote, the House agreed to adjourn, but the Democrats under Will iams' leadership forced a call on the question, thereby making good his threat of last week to require such a rollcall on every affirmative vote until certain legislation is enacted. While the roll was being called members poured into the chamber in such numbers that it took an opening-day appearance. Speaker Cadnon clearly displayed an ger when Democrats rose in sufficient numbers to order the call. He brought his gavel down with such force that it flew from his hand and he threw him self back in his chair to wait the pro cedure. The vote was: Ayes, 103: noes, 88. and the House accordingly, at 5:34 P. M., ad journed. WOULD DAM SNAKE RIVER Bill Championed by Washington Meets Idaho Opposition. WASHINGTON. March 30. The objec tion of the President to the construction of dams across navigable rivers by private companies, except when the pub lic interest is fully guaranteed, figured in the consideration of & House bill in the Senate today. This bill proposes to authorize the Benton Water Company to construct a dam across Snake River, in the State of Washington. Frye called attention to the President's statement that he would veto objection able legislation giving water rights to private parties. .The bill was championed by Piles and Ankeny, of Washington, and was op posed by Heyburn, of Idaho, on the ground that the state was immensely In terested in the navigation of the river, which, he said, would be jeopardized by allowing a private corporation -to con struct a dam across it for gain. Borah offered an amendment providing for the free navigation of the river, with the adoption of which, he said, he would vote for the bill. Amid the clashing of state Interests. Heyburn suggested the absence of a quorum, which being af firmed by roll call, a motion to adjourn ended the discussion for the day. The urgent deficiency bill, appropriating COOO.OOO for armor, etc.. for vessels here tofore authorized, was passed. On mo- j SAYS DOES CLEAR HIMSELF tion of "Warren, J60.000 was added for mileage of officers and contract surgeons of the Army when authorized by law.

SPERRY NEVER OX SICK LEAVE New Fleet Commander Tells ot Ease in Passing Magellan Strait. MAGDALENA BAY, March 24. Via San Diego, March 30. Rear-Admiral Charles S. Sperry, who will succeed to the command of the Atlantic battleship fleet July 1 at San Francisco after Rear Admirals Evans and Thomas have been relieved, will retain the Connecticut as his flagship for the world-girdling trip from the Golden Gate. Admiral Sperry now commands the fourth division of the fleet and his two starred flag of red floats from the peak of the Alabama. When he becomes commander-in-chief the flag will be of blue. Admiral Sperry. a slight, half gray man of 60, enjoys the distinction of never hav ing been seriously ill during his 46 years of service in the Navy. He has been on active duty all of these years with the exception of a year and ten months, which represent the total of his leaves of absence. Speaking of the trip to Japan. Australia, the Philippines and on through the Suez Canal to New York, Admiral Sperry de clared that It presented no great natural difficulties. "It is just like the cruise we are now finishing; only more of it." he said. "All this talk about the great difficulty and danger of navigating the Straits of Ma gellan Is amusing. There is nothing to it at all. It was the simplest thing in the world, and the cruise ahead . presents nothing more difficult. Coaling stations are plentiful and supply depots are abun dant." Admiral Sperry has many friends among the higher Japanese naval officers and is looking forward to the stay at Yoko hama with particular pleasure.
