TAFT TALKS ON BANKING
Declares Vital Defect of Guaranty
Scheme Would Be Tendency to
Invite Reckless Speculation
by Wildcat Banks.
NEW TORK. Aug. 26. Chairman Frank
H. Hitchcock, of the National Republican
Committee, today declined to disciss the
New York State primaries with respect
to any possible effect they might have
on the Governorship nomination, and later
upon the National ticket In New York
State.
He Insisted that he had not committed
himself In any manner on the Governor
ship, and said that he did not think that
he was called upon to do so. In regard
to the recent conference at Oyster Bay,
wnlch gathering was followed by a state
ment from James 8. Sherman, the Re
publican candidate for Vice-President,
that the preponderanace of opinion there
was favorable to Mr. Hughes, Mr. Hitch
cock said:
Keeping Clear of State Tangle.
"Mr. Sherman stated explicitly that no
determination of the Governorship matter
was effected."
It Is not expected that the views of any
of the Republican leaders who partici-
pated In the discussion at the President's
Summer home were altered by the fact I
that a number of counties In the pri
maries expressed themselves In opposi
tion to the Governor.
Thus far the Republican National Com-
mlttee has taken no stand in the Hughes I
matter. The Governor has not been in
vited to speak in the National campaign,
and it is said that no invitation will be
extended to him until after the New York
State convention.
Plenty of Work If Nominated.
The engagement which Governor Hughes
baa to speak at Youngstown, O., Septem
ber S. was not made under the auspices
of the National organisation. - If Mr.
Hughes is renominated, the directors of
the speakers' bureau of the National
Committee will begin Immediately booking
the Governor for as many speeches as he
will consent to make.
Mr. Hitchcock arrived in New York
from his New England trip today. He
said he will spend the remainder of the
week here in conference with political
leaders, going thn to Chicago for about I
week. The western speakers' bureau
iias not been organized yet and some one
must be found to take this work off the
sands of Senator Borah, of Idaho, who is
due in Vermont to make a number of
speeches.
BIG JOB IN WEST VIRGINIA
Hitchcock LeaTes Subcommittee to
Untangle Snarls.
NEW YORK, Aug. 26. The West
Virginia political situation, which has
proved so ' perplexing to Frank . H.
Hitchcock, chairman of the Republican
National committee, and was submitted
also to Mr. Taft at a conference at
Hot Springs. Va, was today referred to
a sub-committee of the National com
mittee for Investigation.
A formal request was made by ths
West Virginia executive lhat Chair
man Hitchcock decide as to the rela
tive merits of the supporters of Scherr
and Swlssher, both of whom were nom
inated by Republican factions for the
governorship. Chairman Ward, of the
investigating committee, hopes to In

Immigration Officers Find No Law
Ordering Deportation After Ori
entals Go to Work.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 26. (Special.)-
The Department of Commerce and Labor
has referred to the State Department a I
new question which has arisen under the
administration of regulations excluding
! Japanese of the laboring classes. The
incident reveals a method not httherto
considered, whereby thousands or Jap
anese laborers could gain access to this
I country without recourse by the United
' States.
Miyukl Komura was recently admitted
through Seattle on a passport showing
him to be a student. He had about s0
in M. nnunlnn at the time. Instead of
.0001 immediately, he went H
work. Next ne crossea into tamun a.uu
found employment. He decided to re-enter
the United States, "which he did near Port
Hill. Idaho, and was taken Into custody.
Canada refused to allow him to be sent
back to the Dominion. This brought the
matter before the head of the department
of Commerce and Labor, and It being de
cided that the law gave no authority for
his deportation to Japan, he was dis
charged.
Authorities here consider the case of
rnmrfderable importance. If there Is no :
provision for deportation In such cases.
there will be nothing to prevent other
Japanese from making use of the same
expedient to get Into this country and to j
remain here.

Company will soon file at Olympla.
Wash., plans for a branch line to serve
the great wheat sections of Waterville
and Buckingham. The Intention of the
St. Paul to Invade the Big Bend country
Is said to account for the sudden activity
the H'U interests in pushing the Wash-
Ington tL Great Northern into the same

tlcally decided upon. . It is expected to
build from the Pacific extension of the
St. Paul at the Dew town of Beverly and
run north on the east side of the Colum
bia River.
This proposed branch line Is likely to"
prove one of the most important on the
St. Paul line. It will form an outlet for
the business of a plateau that is about 50
miles wide - and SO miles - long. - The
district Is remarkably fertile and has
never been given railroad transportation.
Toe branch- will be about 120 .miles in
length.

BROWNSVILLE, Or., Aug. 29. (Spe

claim to the estate of Carl Christopher
Springer, located In Delaware and
Sweden, and estimated to be worth
$120,000,000, met here today and or-

tion, for the purpose of devising some
I plan whereby to share In the dlstrlbu
i tIon of th9 enormous estate. Similar
organizations have been formed by al
leged heirs In various other states;
The officers of the Oregon and
Washington association 'are: Presi

vice-president, H. B. Davidson, of
Eugene; secretary and treasurer, J. R.

who were made officers of the associa-
tIon threo otherB attended the meet
ing, as follows: Carl Springer, of
Crawfordsvllle, and Mrs. Nancy
Stroupe and Mrs. Robert C. Martin, of
this city. - Numerous other alleged
heirs residing In the two states will
become members of the association.
History of Estate.
The ancestor to whom ths heirs are
feeling grateful was Christopher
Springer, whose son, Carl Christopher
Springer, born In 1658, came to this
country and settled, acquiring vast
tracts of land. Ths entire business
section of Wilmington, Del., was
among his possessions, and was leased
by his heirs in 1808 on a 90-year lease.,
The other estate la In Sweden, and In- ,
eludes not onlv the s-reater nart of a
Swedish town, but also six large farms .
and an Immense Interest In a big
banking business, the entire value of
which is said to be $40,00,000, while
the Wilmington property Is valued at
$80,000,000.
In the year 1880, Edward Springer,
one of the heirs, spent nearly a year
In Sweden securing the originals or
copies of the deeds and wills that had
been made In connection with the es
tate. After getting them all safely
over to America, he died, and they
were handed down to his young son,
Walter, in whose possession they now
are.
Objects of Association.
The object of the association that has
been formed by the Oregon and Wash
ington heirs is to furnish united as
sistance in pushing the claims of the.
hundreds of heirs scattered throughout
the United States. The local association
was formed on the advice of the Ohio
association, which appears to be leading
In the effort to gain possession of the
Springer millions. Similar associations
have been formed in California and other
states whee known heirs are known to
reside. The headquarters of the Oregon
and Washington association will be in
Brownsville, from which point the of
ficers will co-operate with the parent
association of Ohio,
Each to Have Lawyer.
Each local association will employ un
attorney to represent Its Interests in a
mass meeting of the representatives of
the heirs to be held at Wilmington, Del.,
the first week In September, when some
plan will be devised for clearing up the
title to the estate and bringing about a
division of the property among the heirs.
For years the state authorities of
Delaware have resisted the claims of
the contesting heirs unsuccessfully and
recently offered to pay $11,000,000 If the
heirs would relinquish all claim to that
part of the estate locatsd In Wilmington
and vicinity.'
CARRIES RING IN THROAT

WALLA WALLA, Wash., Aug. 26.
(Special.) After years of discomfort.
caused by a species of throat trouble
that baffled many physicians, Miss Jen

William Glassford. of this city. In a
coughing epell expelled today a small
gold band ring which is believed to "have
been the cause of her suffering these
many years.
Just how the ring became lodged in
the young woman's throat cannot be ac
counted for. It Is believed, however,
that she swallowed the ring when a
child and that its location was such as
to prevent extraction through medical as
sistance. At times the pain would be

bothersome. Many physicians were con
suited but none could do anything t
