MARSHALL DEFEATS SYMOXS
Bourne's Efforts to Have Latter Ap
pointed Meet AVith Defeat.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 2. The announcement from
Oyster Bay that the President has ap
pointed Colonel William M. Marshall as
Chief of the Army Engineers Is of par
ticular interest to Oregon, because ill
appointing Colonel Marshall, the Presi
dent turned down Colonel Thomas W.
Symons. who was once stationed at Port
land. Colonel Marshall has from the first
been Secretary's Taft's candidate for this
appointment, for he Is admitted to be
the most efficient officer in the Engineer
Corps.
Six weeks or more ago Senator Bourne
circulated a petition in the Senate, urg
ing the appointment of Colonel Symons,
and this was signed by many Senators.
When he presented this petition to the
President. Mr. Bourne indicated privately
that Colonel Symons would be appointed.
"Secretary Taft won't have anything to
do with that appointment: he won't be
consulted." said Mr. Bourne.
Colonel Symons was further handi
capped because his wife persistently be
sought the President and others in high
places to make her husband the "hap
piest man In the country." She over
played her hand.

SIMPLY BANDS OF ROBBERS
American Mining Man Says Revolu
tionists Are Mere Crooks.
DALLAS. Tex., July 2. That the revo
lution in Mexico is not a revolution at all
and that the reports of uprisings there
are greatly exaggerated Is the statement
of J. C. Corwin. a prominent mining
man of Guanajuato. Mexico, who is now
in Dallas. Mr. Corwin has extensive in
terests In Mexico and since the first
rumors of the strife beyond the Rio
Grande he has been in communication by
wire with his representatives in the Re
public. "I am able to state." said Mr. Corwin
last night, "than this go-called revolution
is nothing more or less than a sortie on
the part of organized bands of robbers
and desperadoes, who are covering up
their crookedness under the guise of poli
tics and are pretending a patriotic move
ment. "These revolutions occur periodically.
They are incited by a few former Mex
icans, who are now residents of the
United States. They formerly made their
headquarters at St. Louis, but were run
out of there. They are men who could
not go back to Mexico, Just as there are
men in Mexico today, former Americans,
who would not venture to set foot on this
side of the Rio Grande. These men stir
up trouble through their agents in Mex
ico. Their agents represent to the ignor
ant classes that they can pillage and rob
under the guise of patriotism, standing
a certain show of escaping capture or of
coming clear in case they are taken into
custody. This is another of these deep
laid plans to pillage.
"I have had advices today that abso
lutely convince me that there is no fight
ing more than 60 miles the other side of
the border. The report of trouble in Tor
reon is unfounded. The report that a
bridge had been burned In Torreon and
that a train had been backed up for
fear of running into a band of revolu
tionists Is untrue. The revolutionary ele
ment , in Mexico is as powerless to
take over the government as the
Black Hand Is powerless to get
control of the government of the United
States. They kill occasionally and pil
lage, but that is all. The reports re
ceived by the newspapers are exag
gerated." ALL IS QUIET ALONG BORDER
Rumor of Battle at Casa Grande Is
Not Confirmed.
EL PASO. Tex., July 2. Nothing has
occurred along the Mexican border today
to disturb peace and quiet. Juarez sol
diers and officials again guarded the city
strongly last night, however, expecting
an attack. Mayor Mateus sat all night
In his office with a rifle on his lap, ready
to lead men to repel invaders, but no dis
turbance occurred.
A persistent report is circulating In
Juarez that troops had an engagement
with revolutionists near Casa Grande
yesterday morning, but It is unconfirmed.
No train from there will arrive until to
night, and the government has charge
of the wires.
STATE'S CLAIM TRIFLE OLD
East Portland Property Title May Be
Subject of Litigation.
SALEM. Or.. July 2. (Special.) As a
result of a suit brought in Multnomah
County some time ago by a man named
Leitch for the purpose of registering title
to his property under the Torrens act. a
question has been raised as to the title
to all tl properly in what is known as
the Earau Proebstel tract, in Bast Port
land. It seems that Mrs. Proebstel died
In 1870. leaving -this tract of property,
about 160 acres, and the estate was ad
ministered upon and the property was
sold. Attorney G. Everrett Baker, of
Portland, now asserts that there were no
heirs to Mrs. Proebstel and that the
property should hae escheated to the
state. Mr. Baker wishes to be appointed
attorney for the state to bring escheat
proceedings, but as the property is now
occupied by thousands of homes and has
been so occupied under claim of right for a
period longer than the statute limitations
requires. It Is not probable that the
slate will actively question the title of
the occupants of the land. The Attorney-
General's statement of the case to the
Governor does not assert any legal right
on the part of the state.
