MEANT DEFEAT FOR TAFT
Feud Between Ohio Leaders May Be

Walter WeJlman to Chicago Record -Herald.
WASHINGTON, May 15. An Interest
ing story of high politics lies behind the
successful effort of the Republican lead
ers of the Senate to postpone the Browns
ville negro soldier case and secure ap
parent harmony within the party ranks,
It is a story which shows in graphic
fashion what a queer game politics is.
Beaten to a standstill in his own state
on the Presidential issue and threatened
with retirement from the Senate and
from public life by the overwhelming
Taft victory in Ohio, Senator Foraker
suddenly loomed upon the horizon as the
' tactical master of the situation.
Feared Idol of Negroes.
It has already been told in these
dispatches that for a certain reason the
Republican leaders were afraid that
President Roosevelt might after all be
nominated at Chicago, and that on ac
count of this Xear Senators Aldrlch,
Crane. Hale and others came out for
Secretary Taft. That certain reason
was Mr. Foraker. The Ohio Senator,
in a way, held the key to the situa
tion. He had become the idol the
negro race. He had wci his .. er
which he still has. for that matter to
Inflame their paaslons to a still higher
pitch. .If ho cares to do so. he can
Incite Jtihem to.wholosale revolt against
(he Republic. ' Presidential ticket
Whether this pow-r of his. and the
danger that be might use It disastrous
ly, was or was not in part imaginary,
fear of him took possession of the big
men of the party. For a few days he
was' the pivot about which the Presi
dential contest somewhat uncertainly
swung.
So great was this fear of Foraker
and ' of his possible black revolt that
It became a common saying among
the Republican Senators:
"No Republican who lacks the sup
port of Senator Foraker can be elected
president this year."
Support Roosevelt, Sot Taft.
Naturally, the Republican leaders
did everything In their power to learn
. what Mr. Foraker intended to do. They
learned that he was willing to support
Mr. Roosevelt; he frankly said so. If
Mr. Roosevelt were nominated, he
would use his influence among the
negroes for the Republican ticket. But
if Mr. Taft were nominated? He de
clined to say what he would do.
Mr. Foraker's willingness to support
Mr. Roosevelt and his silence as to Mr.
Taft were understood. The Ohio Senator
has no quarrel with the President. Mr.
Taft was not opposed to Mr. Foraker's
re-election. But he point blank refused
to enter into a bargain, or understand
ing or truce which would bind his Ohio
friends or tie their hands in any way.
If Mr. Taft had accepted these terms
long ago, he would have been assured
of the nomination which at last every
one. concedes to him. Mr. Foraker thinks
Mr. Taft determined to destroy him and
to retire him from public life. This ex
plains why he declared his willingness to
support Mr. Roosevelt and why he re
fused to say what he would do as to
Mr. Taft.
Might Cause Roosevelt Stampede.
Here was a pretty problem for the
Senate leaders who wanted Mr. Taft
only because that was the best way to
beat Mr. Roosevelt, and who wanted
Mr. Taft to win, not only at tho con
vention, but at the polls. This was the
Roosevelt danger which spurred the
Senate leaders to action. Left to him
self, carrying out his programme, mak
ing a speech, forcing a vote, compelling
the Republican majority to stand
against the colored soldiers, Mr. For
aker might easily put the match to the
tinder of fear and start a conflagration
which would end in a Roosevelt stam
pede at Chicago.
How cleverly this crisis, real or fan
cied, was met by Messrs. Aldrlch and
Crane and Hale has already been nar
rated. But the end Is not yet. They
induced Mr. Foraker to forego his
speech in the Senate and himself to
move postponement of the whole mat
ter til after election, so far as the Senate
action is concerned. How did they in
duce him to pour this bit of oil upon
the troubled waters? By s tacit prom
ise to take the 'matter up with Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr. Taft at the first
convenient opportunity, which means
after the return of Mr. Taft from Pan
ama. Hope for Olive Branch.
Again Mr. Taft' is to have a chance to
"do something for Foraker," to take an
action which may result in the Senator's
'reflection to his present place. They
know it cannot be a bargain, because Mr.

Sole So rvi vor of Schooner John F.
Milter Found on Unimak
Island by Ivy.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 15. The
schooner Ivy, which arrived to port to
day from Eagle Harbor, reports that the
rescue party which went from Eagle Har
bor to the assistance of the crew of the
wrecked schooner John F. Miller, which
was driven ashore at Shattock Peninsula,
Unimak Island, on January 8 last, re
ports that, upon reaching the wreck, it
found three of the crew frozen together
two seamen and a colored cook. The
cook and one seaman was dead, but the
other seaman was still alive.
It was necessary to chop him away
from the others . He was taken to Eagle
Harbor, where he is now employed as a
fisherman.
The Ivy reports that on April 15 she
sighted part of a vessel's rudder, which
from appearances had been in the water
only a short time.
LETTERS ARE ADMITTED
Both Sides Claim Victory in Land
Fraud Case at Washington.
WASHINGTON. May 15. Both sides
claimed victory today in the land-frauds
trial when Justice Stafford, ruling on the
question of the admissibility of the
anonymous letters attributed by the Gov
ernment to Dlmond and by him as vigor
ously denied, declared that the printed
letters should be admitted practically in
their entirety and typewritten letters
might be admitted with the condition
that the Government's circumstantial evi
dence, so far presented, has been found
sufficient by the jury ' to consider them
as it considers any other evidence.
The case seems to grow more compli
cated, the jury having been instructed by
the court that anything In the anonimous
letters can be taken only as against Dl
mond, though the contest may be taken
to prejudice strongly the Interests of Hyde
particularly and Benson and Schneider
occasionally.
In a general way the letters show an
intimate knowledge on the part of the
writer concerning the inner workings of
the alleged conspiracy, and the gist of
the Government's claim is that no one
except Dimond could have written them.
After the reading of the letters the Gov
ernment recalled the expert, J. F. Sher
man, and he testified to the similarity of
the handwriting in a great number of
applications to purchase school lands to
Oregon and California.
COURT IS BRILLIANT S.CENE
Hindoos' Robes Blaze With dia
monds Americans Presented.
LONDON, May 15 King Edward and
Queen Alexandra held a brilliant court
in Buckingham Palace tonight. There
was a large attendance, 'especially in
the diplomatic circles, and unusual
splendor was given the function through
the presence of the Dewan of Nepaul
and a large Indian suite, whose robes
were a perfect blase of diamonds. Their
majesties and the . officials all wore In
dian orders and decorations. Mrs. White
law Reid, wife of the American Am
bassador, presented Miss Jenny Crocker,
of California; Mrs. H. P. Thompson, of
New York; Mrs. McC. Ramsey, of Vir
ginia; Mrs. Cole Scott, of "Virginia, and
Mrs. Henry Bacon, widow of the Amer
ican artist.
PROTEST AGAINST ARREST
Russians Take More Than 200 Chi
nese Without Passports. ,
ST. PETERSBURG, May 15. The Chi
nese Legation here is to receipt of a tele
gram from the Chinese Society at Kha
bayovsk, Siberia, complaining of the ar
rest there of 200 Chinese residents be
cause they were without passports. The
Russian authorities raided the Chinese
theater and imprisoned the entire audi
ence, including many prominent mer
chants. It is becoming apparent that Russia is
acting upon a desire to prevent Siberia
from being overrun with Chinese emi
grants. ECHO OF CRAPS EY CASE
Ohio Clergyman Is Deposed From
Priesthood for Sympathy.
BOSTON. May 15. Rev. George
Clark Cox, of Cambridge, formerly rec

Wants Either Nation or State to Ex

Bryan. Joins in the Gen
eral Sentiments.
WASHINGTON, May IS. The first con
ferences of the Governors of the states
of the American Union- ended today.
Like many of the important events of
history, time is to reveal the epoch
which the President and Governors be
lieve has been made. The accomplish
ments of the conference, which has been
In session at the White House for three
days, cannot be set forth with mathe
matical precision. That its immediate
results are more than ample is the ex
pression of President Roosevelt, who
brought it about, and of the Governors"
who participated.
Declaration Is Startling.
The printed record of the conference,
which will later be available to every
American home, will be a compilation of
facts, startling in their meaning, con
vincing in their universal conclusion,
that the states and the Nation must co
operate to the end that to the whole
people of the Nation may accrue the last
ing benetfl of its natural resources. Be
sides the compilation of facts by the ex
perts and the freely expressed opinion of
the Governors, the conference leaves as
its permanent record a thousand words
of declaration, not a 'declaration of
Independence," but a "declaration of co
operation." - Slake Oonfcjrence Permanent!.
Perhaps greatr in importance than all
else was the determination of the Gov
ernors of the states to perfect a perma
nent organization whereby a hereto
fore unknown intimacy may be devel
oped among the executives of the 46
sovereign states made strong by a com
mon purpose and made potent by pro
nouncements which may not lightly be
disregarded.
Of the last day the story la one of many
features. The set programme was swept
aside. The President presided through
out. He Interjected remarks and
speeches. He brought to the platform
men who made plain the prevailing feel
ing that thoughtful care must be exer
cised for the future. The prepared pa
pers were not presented, but they will
be printed in the permanent record.
Their place was first taken by the
"declaration," which was adopted after
discussion which brought to light no
serious objection to its affirmation. Then
William J. Bryan was presented by the

Authenticity of Work Attacked,
Evans Sues Clausen for
Price He Paid.
-
" NEW YORK, May 15. An art scarf
dal, begun early this month with the
withdrawal of three paintings from
tho Corcoran Art Gallery, at Washing
ton, D. X, led to the arrest of Will
iam Clausen, an East Thirty-fifth
street art dealer today.
The pictures withdrawn were part of
the collection of 50 presented by Will
iam T. Evans, a wel-known art .col
lector, to the proposed National gal
lery. They were withdrawn by the
donor after much ' gossip attacking
theip authenticity.
Clausen was arrested on an order
granted by Supreme Court Justice
Davis In a suit brought by Evans to
recover 66SO paid for the three paint
ings. Bail was fixed at $2500. Clausen
maintains that the. paintings are
genuine.
The canvases in dispute are: "Late
Afternoon at Medfleld," sold as the work
of the late George Inness, and "Old
Mill Near St. Cloud," and "Near New
port," sold as the work of the late
Homer D. Martin. The three pictures
have been exhibited in various places
of artistic resort end have won en
comiums, from eminent critics. They
are said to be - intrinsically beautiful.
Otto Karch and Charles Grasel, for
merly employed by Clausen, have made
affidavits concerning the canvases,
which affidavits are attached to the
plaintiff's complaint. .
NO LIQUOR AT CONVENTION
Republican Committee Will Also Bar
Favorite Sons' Portraits.
CHICAGO, May 15. The sub-committee
on arrangements, of the Republican Na
tional committee, passed a rule today
which declare- that no liquor shall be
sold or brougut into the convention hail,
either at the committee meetings or dur
ing the convention week.
The committee also placed a ban on
portraits as adornments for the walls of
the hall. The reason given for the latter
prohibition was the number of favorite
sons whose pictures delegates might in
sist upon having placed, and the jeal
ousies and friction that might grow out
of the placing of them.
The committee also decided to authorize
Chairman New to arrange for a parade
of the marching clubs, which a. - ex

CALCUTTA, May 15. A bomb was ex

here today and four natives were injured.
It was evidently the intention of the per
petrators of the outrage to wreck a
streetcar containing white persons. '
This being the fifth attempt within five
months to blow up streetcars with bombs,
much uneasiness has resulted.

Two Branches of Congress of One

Have a Wordy Bout.
WASHINGTON, May 15. The Ald
rlch currency bill was substituted for
the Vreeland bill in the Senate today
and the transfer took but little longer
than was required in the calling of the
roll. The effect is to throw both the
Senate and the House bills Into con
ference. The managers on the part
of the Senate are Aldrlch, Allison, Hale,
Daniel and Teller.
The dispatch with which this agree
ment was reached is a Btriking exam
ple of what can be done in the closing
days of a session of Congress. A meet
ing of the Senate committee on finance
was held in the forenoon and a de
cision to amend the House bill by sub
stituting the measure passed by the
Senate several weeks ago was reached
without difficulty. Chairman Aldrlch
was authorized to make the ' report,
which he did as soon as the bill passed
by the House yesterday had been "mes
saged over."
Some changes were made in the Sen
ate bill by the committee, however, and
it was necessary to have a new print
of it prepared before it could be called
up for consideration. These amend
ments were confined to the elimination
of matter Incorporated in the original
Aldrlch bill, after it was reported from
.u committiikt. '
Several Provisions Omitted.
The provisions taken out were as
follows:
The use of bonds of the insular gov
ernment of Porto Rico, bonds of the
government of the Philippine Islands
and bonds of the City of Manila as se
curities for the Issuance of emergency
circulation. y
The requirement that National Bank
Associations located outside of the cen
tral reserve cities shall hold In their
own vaults four-fifths of the reserves
required by law, either In lawful money
or securities named in the bill, but that
two-thirds of the amount shall be In
cash. .
The prohibition against National
banks loaning money to or Investing in
the stock of a corporation, the officers
or directors of which are officers or
directors of the bank making the loan
or investment.
The committee added sections pro

Wants One-Fifth of Traction King's
Wealth for Adjusting Dis
pute With Wife.
NEW YORK, May 15. Mrs. Mary
Adelaide Yerkes, widow of Charles T.
Yerkes, the traction promoter of Chi
cago and London, was In court today to
answer to a writ brought by Joseph D.
Redding, a lawyer, to recover 20 per
cent' of the amount Mrs. Yerkes re
ceived from her husband's estate. It
has been estimated that Mrs. Yerkes
received the Income from $7,500,000 cash
to the amount of $200,000 and .the use
of Mr. Yerkes residence on Fifth ave
nue, this city.
Mr. Redding declared in his suit that
he was detailed by Mrs. Yerkes in Lon
don In 1904 to bring about an adjust
ment of differences between Mr. and
Mrs. Yerkes. He produced a letter
from Mrs. Yerkes, in which she declared
that she agreed to give him 20 per
cent of all' she received, either from
Mr. Yerkes or from his estate. Mr. Red
ding asserted that he continued to act
as Mrs. Yerkes' counsel until the day
following the death of her husband,
when she dismissed him.
Mrs. Yerkes was called to the stand
as a witness, but before she gave any
testimony the counsel in the case
agreed to postpone the hearing until
tomorrow.
Counsel for Mrs. Yerkes stipulated
in court that she should be addressed
as Mrs. Yerkes, not as Mrs. Mizner,
which was the name of her last hus
band, from whom she has been di
vorced. LEGISLATION IS ' STOPPED
No More on O. & C. Grant Mondell
Bill Adversely Reported,
OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, May 15. The House public lands
committee today voted to have no fur
ther legislation In relation to the Oregon
& California land grant. Mondell's reso
lution, which proposed to direct the Attorney-General
to permit present holders
of lands to continue in their use and oc
cupancy during the pendency of suits,
was adversely reported. This puts an
end to this matter so far as Congress is
concerned until it becomes necessary to
determine what disposition shall ' be
made of lands recovered by the Govern
ment. In this connection attention is
called to the fact that under the law no
more forest reserves can be created in
Ore in? except by act of Congress. All
mciabers of the Oregon delegation are
opposed to placing any railroad lands
in the forest reserve, and If the next
delegation holds the same views. It is a
safe prediction that lands recovered by
the Government will be disposed of only
to actual settlers, either under the ex
isting law or under some special act to
be framed later.

From Convention.
SEE TROUBLE FOR FULTON
Democrats Believe Result Will
Be Cake's Defeat. .
WOULD ALSO EXTEND LAW
Supporters of Direct Primary De
clare Slate Methods Employed
Will Lead to Choice of Nation
al Delegates by Voters. '
Political suicide for Fulton, the
strengthening of Bourne with the peo
ple and the election of Governor Cham
berlain as United States Senator in
June, are three of the results predicted
from the Republican conventions
Thursday by Democrats and the advo
cates of Statement No. 1. While the
Bourne men came up yesterday smiling;
and declaring that they were good
losers, it cannot be denied that the
wounds resulting from their treatment
by the Fulton delegates will not be en
tirely healed for some time.
That Fulton In his desire to shut out
Bourne has injured himself among the
voters of the state is alleged, because
of the tactics that were resorted to in
order, to organize and to control the
conventions. This same "programme"
convention, it is charged by supporters -of
Bourne, will react In his behalf for
the reason that It was he who took the
initiative to declare for the direct pri
mary method of selecting candidates
for office. The manner in which both
the Presidential electors and the Na
tional delegates were selected, aver the
Bourne men, will awaken public senti
ment to demand amendment of the di
rect primary law for the nomination.
5n the iam niuiiner that ail other ca'.T-
dldates are now chosen.
Resent Attack on Kennedy.
The Bourne forces do not object to
the rejection of B. E. Kennedy, of
Baker, as a National delegate, but they
resent the attack that was made on
him by one of Fulton's supporters, for
the reason that Kennedy supported
Cake in the primary election. That the
rupture between the Fulton and Bourne
people will extend to Cake's candidacy
for Senator seems Inevitable. The at
tack on Kennedy by the Fulton' men is
considered significant, as showing ani
mosity toward Cake. While pleasant
sounding resolutions, pledging the
loyal support of Cake were adopted,
there is every reason to suspect that
the Fulton people, not satisfied with
Fulton's vindication by a well-organ-
