Sleeting of New York Delegates to
Promote Candidacy.
' NEW YORK. April 30. Geenral Stew
art K Woodford, president of the Hughes
league of the United States, who pre
sided today at a meeting of the New
York delegates to the Chicago conven
tion, this afternoon Issued a statement
Jn which lie says that a rumor to the
effect that Governor Hughes will with
draw from the Presidential race is with
out foundation. General Woodford says
that Governor Hughes' name will remain
toi-fore the convention until a candidate
has been nominated.
The statement from General Woodford
follows:,
"Any statement from any source that
Governor Iluches' name will be with
drawn from the Presidential canvass is
absolutely without foundation. He has
never sought the- Presidency. There is no
living man whose support he has asked.
He consented to the use of his name and
his name is at the service of our party
until the convention has made its deci
sion. If nominated, ho will do his best
to secure the victory of our party in No
vember. If not nominated, ho will have
no regrets and will remain as always, a
loyal Republican. Ho is today far more
interested in securing needed legislation
In New York than he Is In any possible
candidacy for any office." .
The meeting today was held at the
Astor Hotel and was called in the In
terest of Hughes' candidacy by General
Woodford, Seth Tow and Frederick R.

BESEECH ROOSEVELT TO RCS
President Receives Hundreds of
Letters Each Day.
WASHINGTON, April 30. That between
3D0 and 400 letters are received daily at
the White House urging President Roose
velt to run again is asserted on good au
thority. These letters come from all parts
of the country, it is said, from members
of all political parties, and In them va'
rious arguments are used by the writers
to Induce Mr. Roosevelt to again accept
a nomination. V
The letters have Increased in volume In
the last few weeks, and some of them
are said to be almost tragic in their ear
nestness. The writers argue that the
President is in the thick of his campaign
for the establishment of complete govern
ment control over Interstate commerce
and other reforms: that It is Impossible
to transfer this work successfully to an
other, since Mr. Roosevelt's personality Is
a powerful factor in achieving this suc
cess; that the Republican party, cannot.
afford to nominate any man who is not
sure of election, and that the President is
the only Republican who would be certain
to defeat any other candidate.
In replies to such letters the President
simply reminds his correspondents of his
former declarations on the subject and
reiterates that his position Is unchanged.

PRESIDENT APPROVES OREGON"
LAND-GRANT MEASURE.
House Refuses to Report Mondell's
Latest Resolution Warning to
Be Given Settlers.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April 30. The President today
signed the Fulton land-grant resolution.
The House public lands committee to
day discussed Mondell's latest land-grant
resolution, which was Intended to follow
the Fulton resolution. In view of the
bad faith of the lumbermen, the com
mittee was overwhelmingly opposed to
reporting the measure, especially if the
same end can be accomplished without
legislation. The committee instructed
Chairman Mondell to confer with the Attorney-General
as to the advisability
of issuing an official statement proclaim
ing it to be the purpose of the Govern
ment to allow the present holders of
granted lands to continue In possession
and use of them pending the determina
tion of legislation, and also as to ad
visability of issuing warning to all In
tending settlers that land Is not open to
settlement, for. filing, while suit Is pend
ing.
The committee has learned that certain
efforts are being made to induce settlers
to rush in and take up this land, on the
assurance that they will thereby estab
lish prior rights. As a matter of fact
persons who go upon land at this time
will acquire no rights, and In all. proba
bility will be dispossessed at the conclu
sion of the suit against the railroad
company, regardless of how the suit may
be decided. Some formal statement is
looked for early next week.

agricultural appropriation bill was to
come up in the Senate today and that
he had prepared to make an extended at
tack upon the appropriations for the for
estry service, incidentally criticizing the
forestry administration. Against the ad
vice of his physicians, he went to the
Senate this afternoon, but was so weak
that he was compelled in a short time
to return to his apartments. Before
leaving, however, he received assurance
that action on the forestry feature of the
bill would be postponed until he Is able
to appear and speak.

ROOSEVELT'S HINT TAKEN
Townsend, After Struggle, Gets Ap
propriation for Inspection, of
Railroad Finance to Make
Rate Law a Reality.
WASHINGTON. April 30. Consideration
of the Bundry civil appropriation bill was
resumed in the House today. Townsend
of Michigan offered an amendment in
creasing from $50,000 to $350,000 the ap
propriation for enforcement by the Inter
state Commerce Commission of that
clause of the Hepburn act directing the
Commission to cause to be made examina
tions of the accounts of Interstate rail
roads to determine whether that law is
being violated and to make public the
result of such examinations. After a
debate lasting four hours the amendment
was agreed to.
The House disagreed to the Senate
amendments to the District of Columbia
and pension appropriation bills and sent
those bills to conference.
The usual point of no quorum was
raised when the House reconvened today
on the motion providing -that the House
go Into committee of the whole for fur
ther consideration of the sundry civil ap
propriation bill under the five-minute rule.
The doors were locked and the roll called
on the motion, which prevailed.
Speaking to his amendment to increase
the appropriation for enforcement of the
Hepburn act, Townsend quoted from a
message of the President in which tne
executive said that failure to make ap
propriation for carrying out the publicity
clause of the Hepburn act would be to at
tack the law in its most vital point and
to give relief to those corrupt corporations
which the law was Intended to reach.
AMEND PHILIPPINE TARIFF
Administration Measure Intended to
Benefit Island Industries.
WASHINGTON. April 30. Chair
man Payne, of the committee on ways
and means, today introduced a bill to
amend the existing tariff law govern-"
ing Importations Into the Philippine
islands. Jt bears no relation what
ever to the tariff bills to govern im
portations from the islands into the
United States, and applies solely to
producing conditions in the Philip
pines. It is the intention of the lead
ers in Congress to pass the bill at this
session. The bill is an administration
measure, having been recommended
by the Philippine commission In the
islands, the Insular Bureau and the
Secretary of War.
The adding of section "C" in para
graph 29 of the existing law is prim
arily for the purpose of placing the
button industry of the Philippines in
a position to compete with similar
products imported.
By the insertion of a new para
graph, numbered 384, It is intended
to establish the free entry of agricul
tural machinery, to assist the agricul
turists and to encourage the con
struction of roads. The duty on min
ing machinery is reduced to 6 per.
cent ad valorem, which is the mini
mum duty for other machinery not
given free entry. This is to encour
age the development of mines.
In order to make the classification
of spirits imported into the islands
conform to the classification given by
the Internal revenue laws of the Uni
ted States, tnere is inserted in para
graph 308 of the law, an additional
provision, affecting the law to make
spirits classified under this section
pay duty according to measurement.
Paragraph 397 is changed so that
all materials for the construction or
repair of vessels may be imported
free of duty, to enable local ship
builders to compete with other Orien
tal ports.
The final change proposed does
away with the useless consular in
voice requirement.
TAFT STARTS FOR ISTHMUS
Will Embark on Cruiser Prairie at
Charleston Today.
WASHINGTON, April 30. Secretary
Taft left Washington this afternoon for
Charleston, S. C, where he will tomorrow
embark on .the United States cruiser
Prairie and proceed to Colon to bvvefti
gate several Important questions con
nected with construction of the Panama
Canal and the relations betwen the United
States and the Republic of Panama and
also the boundary dispute between Pana
ma and Colombia. The Secretary was ac
companied by Richard R. Rogers, gen
eral counsel of the Canal Commission;
Wendell M. Mischler, his stenographer,
and a messenger.
The Prairie will have on board a large
draft of bluejackets who are to join the
Atlantic fleet at San Francisco on the
trans-Pacific cruise. These men will be
sent overland to Panama. After discharg
ing these men the Prairie will be at the
disposal of Secretary Taft and will bring
him back to the United States by a route
to be selected by. him so that it is pos
sible the Secretary may find it expedient
to visit San Juan or Havana or both on
his way back to the United States.
The present expectation is that the
Secretary will return to this country pos
sibly as early as May 20.
REALTY MARKET IS ACTIVE
Past Month a Record-Brcaker, Says
County Clerk Fields.
That there has been more activity In
the real estate market during the month
Just past than at any other time in the
history of Portland is shown by the re
ceipts for recording at the Oounty Clerk's
office. For the 25 working days In April,
County Clerk Fields received $3134.95 for
recording deeds, mortgages and like in
struments. The greatest number of instruments re
corded in any other month was In March,
1907, when the receipts were $3285.04. At
first glance one might think that this
was a better showing than during the
month which closed yesterday, but In
March, 1907, the County Clerk's office was
open for 27 days. During April, last year,
the receipts were a little more than $2S00.
"The figures of the County Clerk's re
cording department are the Index of the
real estate business." said Mr. Fields
last night. "It is surprising that the mar
ket should be In such a fine condition con
sidering the tightness of money last Fall.
It is only another Indication of the rapid
ity with which Portland can recuperate
her strength after a blow inflicted by
Eastern stock gamblers or financiers."

Animal Gland Extracts
Made by the Van Vleck Gland Ex
tract Co., of Kansas City, Mo., .,
With Offices at 705 Detain
Building, Portland, Or.
Gland Extracts cure more nervous and
chronic diseases than all other treat
ments combined. The reason why Is ex
plained herewith: Gland Extracts con
tain the physiological elements of your
anatomy and are derived from the glands
of young, healthy sheep, and when trans
planted In you through the digestion fur
nishes your anatomy with the wanted
pabulum or elements that you have lost
and which is causing your present condl
tion or 111 health.
We treat successfully all manner of
nervous and chronic diseases by this
method. All diseases of the human family
are the result of three causes only; First,
a lack of the secretions of the glandular
system; second, an over-sufficiency of
the same secretions, or the third, a per
version of the two; so you see how im
portant it is to study the trinity of the
glandular system. The disease you are
suffering with comes from a trinity or
the multiples thereof. The multiples
make the difference in the diseases . and
the different forms and kinds of diseases,
Any well Informed or unprejudiced physi
cian will tell you that the above state
ment Is true. Then why should you fill
your system with drugs and chemicals
which are no part of you and are only
administered in order to hold your sys
tem in abeyance until nature can do the
curative work.
Why not give this some thought? You
owe it to yourself. If you will call or
write, we will hand or mall you our de
scriptive treatise on our scientific treat
ment. There have been many cured in
and around Portland who have realised
the curative powers of Animal Gland Ex.
tracts.
We have been located in suite 705,
Dekum building for the past three years,
where we have competent physicians to
diagnose your case, free of charge,
and to give physicians instructions such
as are necessary to prescribe the Gland
Extracts. The trade and physicians'
patronage solicited.

NELSON THEIR CHAMPION
ASSERTS RIGHTS OF RIPARIAN
OWNERS TO WATER.
Gets Senate Committee to Turn
Down Roosevelt's Water-Power
Revenue Scheme.
WASHINGTON, April " 30. The Presi
dent's suggestion looking to legislation
authorizing the Government to make a
charge for the use of waters of streams
for power purposes was today negatived
by the Senate committee on commerce.
The vote was three in favor of the
proposition to five against it. There was
only a bare quorum of the committee
present and the result can scarcely be ac
cepted as a final announcement of the
committee's policy on the subject.
Among those who took a position an
tagonistic to the President was Senator
Nelson, who submitted an elaborate brief
In opposition to the President's views. He
took the position that such a provision as
that desired by the President would de
prive the states' riparian land-owners of
all rights to the use of waters which are
now guaranteed by law and concentrate
their disposal and control in the Federal
Government, an innovation which, he con
tended, neither the states nor the riparian
owners could afford to permit.
The committee also gave some con
sideration to Senator Newlands bill for
the improvement of the inland waterways
and decided to take up that subject at a
meeting to be held next Saturday. The
bill provides for the creation of an Inland
Waterways Commission and proposes an
appropriation of $50,000,000 a year for the
improvement of Inland water-courses. The
sub-committee, which has had the matter
under consideration, has reduced the ap
propriation it will recommend for the first
year to $10,000,000. Originally It was calcu
lated that much of the money would be
derived from the sale of water power, but
if the action taken by the commerce com
mittee today proves decisive, that source
of revenue will be cut off, and. If the
Newlands bill becomes a law. It will be-
