Neuhausen, Special Inspector to the Interior Department, in the trial of the land-fraud cases, to pro ofed immediately with the trial of all of these cases that are to be heard. Judge Becker was unable yesterday, however, to Indicate in what order the different in dictments will be taken up. He did say that it was the intention of Mr. Heney to return to Portland some time and try the Williamson and Hermann cases, al though the date for hearing those cases has not been fixed definitely.

Prominent Umatiha County citizens will be arraigned in the United States Court today to plead to indictments charging them with conspiring to defraud the Gov ernment out of several thousand acres of public lands in that county. Among nearly a score of Pendleton people that were caught in the recent Investigation of this alleged fraud by the Federal grand jury were J. H. Raley, William Slusher, John Vert, John Crow and a number of others. It is understood that every one of the in dicted persons will enter a plea of not guilty and ask that a date be set for the trial. It was reported yesterday that some of the men under indictment for the Uma tilla frauds had made overtures to the Government officials, agreeing to become witnesses for the prosecution and tell what they knew if they were assured of an immunity bath. But the rumor could not be verified. The officers in the Dis trict Attorney's office said they knew nothing of such a situation. Mr. Raley, Mr. Crow and several of the other in dicted men, who were in the city, said. tney naa no sucn information and placed no credence in the report. When these cases finally are brought to trial, the Government will have to depend largely on the testimony of the individual settlers and their witnesses in proving up on the lands In order to secure convictions under the indictment. It Is said the prose cution has a large number of such wit nesses. ATTACK WOMEN IN SEATTLE Thugs Throw Down Girls Going Home, but Are Scared Off. ' SEATTLE. June 21. (Special.)

HEARS SER VILLAGE CHURCH Roosevelt, in Summer Dress, Drives With Wife From Sagamore Hill. LOEB IN NEAR HERO ROLE Prepares to Leap Into Water, When Launch Appears and Rescues Drowning Alan He Knows Nothing of Hayes Incident. OYSTER BAY, L. I., June 21. Clad in a suit of white duck, wearing tan' shoes and a Panama hat and looking extremely well and happy on the second day of his vacation, President Roosevelt drove today with Mrs. Roosevelt to the village from Sagamore Hill and attended the morning service at Christ Church, of which Mrs. Roosevelt is a member. Rev. Henry Homer Washburn, the rector, made no mention of the President or National af fairs. Less than 150 persons were at the service. The President sang heartily with the congregation. When the President and Mrs. Roosevelt drove away from the church a large crowd was assembled. Mr. Roosevelt bowed and raised his hat. He carefully watched the newspaper photographers, and as they snapped their cameras he raised his hand and hat and covered his face. During the day the President re ceived no visitors and he passed the after noon, which was extremely hot, at Saga more Hill. Secretary Loeb was interviewed today re garding the report from Washington that he might be asked to accept the position of chairman of the Republican National committee. He was apparently pleased as he read the report and smiled. "I have heard nothing whatever about the appointment," said he. "They seem to be arranging this matter elsewhere." Loeb Near Hero. Secretary Loeb, who, this year, is making: his home at the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club, opposite Saga more Hill, narrowly escaped becoming a hero today. He was on his way to the executve offices this morning when his attention was drawn to a man in the water calling for help. As he was about to jump in and rescue the drowning man, he observed a launch running toward the unfortunate man. The man was Fred Waas, an employe of the club, who had gone bathing and ventured beyond his depth. He was taken ashore unconscious and was re suscitated. Know Xothing of Evans Story.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21. The body of James W. Tracy, a coalpasser on the battleship Connecticut, was found this morning, terribly mangled, at the foot of the steepest cliff of Telegraph hill. The circumstances are such that the police are. making an investigation, there being a suspicion that Tracy may have met death at the hands of robbers or others seeking revenge. . There is no explanation for his pres ence in the unfrequented spot from which he fell unless he wandered there in an intoxicated condition. PADDOCK AT CONFERENCE Oregon Bishop Addresses Young Women's Meeting at Seaside. SEASIDE, Or., June 21. (Special.) Bishop Paddock addressed the Young Women's Christian Association conference here today. "I congratulate you that you are members of an association, who, for getting all differences, have banded to gether to lift up humanity," said the bishop. He spoke at both the morning and evening services. The Sunday morning devotional services were held in the hotel parlor, and were i vi LI i J led by Mrs. Campbell. At 4:30. the "Women's Board of Foreign Missions'' was the subject of discussion before the denominational meetings.

The weather has been threatening and often carried out its threats in what all the girls pluckily called Oregon mists. There has been a general rush to Seaside for rubbers. But the outdoor, healthy lives have saved the girls from colds and the conveniences are such that bad weather makes little difference. BOMB IN SHIP'S HOLD EXPLANATION OF EXPLOSION OX ARCADIA. Warping of Bulkhead Steel Substan tiates Theory of Accident Bodies of Victims Are Riddled. PHILADELPHIA, June 31. Investi gation into the cause of the explosion on board the Hamburg-American Line steamer Arcadia, in which three per sons were killed and a number injured on Saturday, 3trongly tends to sub stantiate the theory that the bursting of a bomb caused the damage. The explosion occurred in hold No. 4, Tracy C. Becker, Who Will Conduct Land-Fraud Cases. in which the officers and agents of the vessel declare there wre neither chem icals nor explosives. Examination of the bulkhead separating No. 4 hold from the coal shows that it is covered with small indentures, as though vol leys of bullets had been fired against it. The steel partition was torn loose by the explosion, and rolled up like paper, and some of the fire inspectors say that an ordinary gas explosion would not have caused such a condi tion. Even the ship's officers, who at first declared the assumption that there was a bomb on board was absurd, today admitted the possibility of such a thing. The theory of the bomb is also the only one that explains the fact that two of those who met creath in the' ex plosion were riddled with small holes, apparently made by flying bits of steel and broken nails. A handful of such scrap was gathered up from ,the torn clothing and around the bodies of the dead men. Members of the crew told the Cor oner's deputy who is Investigating the accident that the Hamburg-American line has been facing' a strike among dock employes at Hamburg, and the belief is expressed that a bomb was placed in the cargo of the Arcadia be fore she left that port, with the idea of causing its destruction while in midocean. The hold in which the explosion oc curred has not yet been cleared, and for that reason a thorough examination has not been made. The hold con tains half a score of bigr cases of gen eral merchandise and this will be taken out tomorrow. The use of the gas engine on the farm is growing more popular every year. In the last two years 60,000 of these motors were purchased by farmers and the de mand this year hu every indication of being greater. BEATS AGED WIFE Man of 75 Uses Hatchet With Fatal Effect. CHOPS AT HIS OWN HAND Gray-Haired Couple Quarrel Over Money Matters They Had Cele brated Golden Wedding Only a Few Days Ago. CLEVELAND, O, June 21.

JAPAN GETS ON HER KNEES Proposes to End Chinese Boycott by Remitting Tatsu Maru Indemnity SAN FRANCISCO, June 21. Sochita Asano, president of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha Steamship Company, reputed to be the second wealthiest man in Japan, ranking next to Baron Shibusawa, has arrived here en route to New York on a financial mission. Speaking of the boycott against Jap anese goods in China, Mr. Aseno said that Japanese trade had suffered se verely because of the boycott resulting from the Tatsu Maru affair, but he did not expect it to continue mfc-. longer. The Chinese were feeling its reflex influence, and he thought that finan cial considerations would soon out weigh sentimental reasons. A different version is brought by Thomas F. Millard, the author, who was a fe!low-pas6enger of Mr. Asano oi) the steamship Mongolia. According to Mr. Millard, the boycott is hurting Japanese trade so severely that the government, through the merchants of the empire, called the Chinese mer chants In Japan together in order to make a proposal to end the boycott by remitting the indemnity exacted in the Tatsu Maru incident.

A NEW DISPAHTCRH. Tho cost of interments has been greatly reduced by the Holmaa Undertaking Company: Heretofore it has been the custom of funeral directors to make charges for all Incidentals connected with a funeral.

LOSS IS OVER $100,000 Water-Wheel "Runs Away," Demol ishing Generator, Which Flies to Pieces, Wrecking Sev eral Other Machines. (Continued From First Pa.ge.) two. The governor regulating the sup ply of water that turns its wheel was hit in turn by parts of No. 2 dynamo as it burst and the last generator contributed its share to the general ruin by hurling its flying parts, liter ally burning- up from the heat gener ated by running away, into a por tion of the building having a wooden floor. This took fir The two operators were saved from death as by. a miracle. Flying pieces of machinery, some of them weighing over a ton, were sent hurling through the roof and windows and even through the. brick walls, so great was the momentum with which the wild machines sent them fly ing. A piece of one of the bed plates. 30 inches square, and six feet long, of solid Iron, was thrown between the two operators, tearing tne sleeve of W. J. Moore, the water wheel tender, and then shot through the brick wall of the build ing. Another piece of flying iron struck the clock, stopping it at 6:15. Parts of the wrecked dynamos were hurled in all di rections. A portion of one of the field magnets, weighing over a ton, was thrown through the iron roof, over an adjoining building and buried itself in the ground over 200 feet away. Men Have Narrow Escape. That the operators escaped instant death is almost beyond belief. The whole work of destruction lasted hardly three minutes' and the two men were right in the midst of the flying masses of copper, steel and iron. They stuck to their posts and shut off what switches they could and then ran to the head gates, which open from the dam at the top of the hill above the power station, and shut off the water. The racing wheels were stopped and the two men bravely got out the fire hose and fought the blaze until they had it under control. Then they telephoned news of the dis aster to Portland officials of the com pany. Moore, who so narrowly escaped death, had just come to work and had not been inside the building more than ten minutes. President Benage S. Josselyn, of the company, speaks highly of the work of the two men. The generators are coupled up direct ly with the water wheels by shafts .of rod steel 18 inches- in diameter. All three shafts are broken off and twisted like pipe stems. Tho governor on No.' 1 tur bine that was the cause of the WTeck, Is about the only part of the ma chinery that was not wrecked, it re maining Intact. The waterwheels have a head of 112 feet and the three wrecked dynamos generated electricity calculated at 12,000 horse-power. Officials Visit AVreck. O. B. Caldwell, operating engineer for the company, reached . the wrecked plant asout three hours after tne accident and President Josselyn, Vice-President Fuller, General Manager sykes, Secretary Hug- gins and Purchasing Agent Fitch left the city by special train, reaching the station about 10 o clock. "The escape of the men from instant death was most remarkable," said Presi dent Josselyn. "I am very thankful that their lives wer spared. The accident, evidently, was hot one that could have bean prevented by greater watchfulness on the part of the operators. "The switchboard apparatus at the station, which is very expensive, is not damaged and the turbines themselves do not appear to be Injured as the casings were not broken but what happened in side the casings cannot be told until they are opened up. "Work will be started to replace the three generators destroyed, using the present turbines, just as soon as the In surance loss is adjusted. If new gen erators have to be built, it will require from six to eight months to get them installed but we are telegraphing in every direction to see if we can find some already built and not immediately re quired by those for whom they were built. In replacing the machinery, three 2500 K W 340-revolution, 60-cycle, 24-pole gen erators will be used instead of the 33 cycle apparatus destroyed, thereby doing away with the frequency changers In stalled in the substations for converting the 33-cycle to 60-cycle current. The latter Is used for lighting and the 33 cycle for street railway and power motors. Will Enlarge Station. "As soon as these three units are re stored, steps will be taken to put in two more just like them, with additional turbines, so that the entire plant will be 60-cycle generation of 25,000-horsepower. "There was no interruption in service whatever because of the accident. At that hour, few oars were running, while lights were not in use. Our auxiliary steam plants were Immediately hooked on and took up the load with ease. This shows how necessary auxiliary steam CLEARS THE COMPLEXION OVERNIGHT Pimple, Rash, Eruptions, Etc., Quick ly Eradicated by Sew Skin Remedy.

The Cazadero station was built by Morris Bros, at a cost of about $800,000. Its construction was started several years ago but became the property of the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company, when the local electrical properties were merged. The plant began operation Feb ruary 7, 1907, and has been run con tinuously ever since, frequently carrying 50 per cent overload without a stop. It has been spoken of frequently in the technical press as one of the most per fect generating plants in existence. Only a very small part of the $110,000 loss will be covered by the Insurance against flre. Almost all the damage was caused before the fire started. The three generators, which are now utterly worth less, were valued at $30,000 each. They contained miles of copper wire and thick copper plates that were heated red hot by the terTiflc speed they attained before flying to pieces.

In reference to published statements to the effect that at a recent meeting of the Asiatic Ex clusion League. Congressman E. A. Hayes. In an address to the meeting, had delivered, a message from President Roosevelt that he was still trying for Japanese exclusion by diplomacy and had quoted the President as saying. "I am sending to Japan the sharpest cor respondence any nation ever received. If I cannot get what I want by diplomacy I will by exclusion . legislation," Con gressman Hayes said tonight: "Newspaper accounts have evidently inaccurately reported my statement. Three or four days before the last ses sion of Congress closed I saw the Pres ident and said to him that my people had "been expecting exclusion legislation which had been prevented for the time being by the efforts to make diplomacy effective in the matter, and asked him what I should pay to them upon my re turn to California. He said that I should tell them that the President has been doing the best ho could in the matter and thinks that he now has it in good shape. 'I want,' said the President, "to give Japan every opportunity to carry out its pledges. If I cannot succeed through diplomacy in protecting the peo ple of the Pacific Coast, I will unite with them in helping to secure the enactment of an exclusion law.' " Boom Mitchell for Governor.
