CHAMBERLAIN STANDS FIRM Tells Mead He Will Continue to . Enforce Laws. MEETING QUITE AMICABLE Washington Officials to Bring Pro ceedings In Federal Court to Estop Enforcement of Laws of Oregon. .Efforts by Governor Mead and his as sociates, of Washington, to persuade Gov ernor Chamberlain to Intervene to estop enforcement of the Oregon fishing laws on the-Columbia River until a test case could be tried out In court have failed. Throughout the conference held here yesterday between the two Governors and other officials of the two states. Governor Chamberlain adhered firmly to his posi tion that the laws must be enforced to the letter. The conference was entirely amicable 'but wholly void of results, so far as re lieving the crisis on the Columbia River and the possibility of forcible clash be tween officers and fishermen there are concerned. Washington fishermen, probably this week, will file suit In the United States Court In this city asking that the Oregon State authorities be restrained from exer cising Jurisdiction over the waters of the Columbia River and from enforcing their laws against fishermen of the Evergreen State operating In that river. During the pendency of the proposed suit, a tempo rary Injunction win be asked under which, if It is granted, the operation of the ob jectionable Oregon laws relating to sal mon fishing will be suspended until the validity of these statutes can deter mlrd in hm courts.

Following the conference. Governor Mead refused to be interviewed. He not only declined to discuss the result of the . conference but he refused to say what course would be followed by the fishing Interests of his state In their efforts to annul the. fishing laws of this state as they apply to the Columbia River. He de nied emphatically that the people of his state were In a belligerent mood, and asserted that the published report from Seattle and Olympla that he had said that he would call out the Washington state militia If It became necessary to protect the fishermen of his state from prosecution by the Oregon authorities was without foundation and unauthorised by him.. The conference continued for over three hours. The Oregon fishing laws, which form the basis for the clash between the two states, were discussed in detail and considered In conjunction with the articles by which the state was admitted to the Union. Those articles conferred on the State of Oregon concurrent Jurisdiction over the Columbia River from shore to shore. The same provision was Includ ed In the articles by which Washington became a state. With this presentation of the situation by Governor Chamberlain and his col leagues, the members of the visiting dele gation practically agreed that the Oregon authorities had only one course to pursue and that was to enforce the laws. At the same time, the visitors declared that steps soon would be taken, either by the Washington State officials themselves or Individual fishing interests, to carry the controversy into the United States Court for a decision. Law 3Iust Be Enforced. "I have no right to suspend the opera tion of the law prohibiting fishing In the " Columbia River, any more than I can suspend the operation of any other stat ute." said Governor Chamberlain after "the conference with the Washington offi cials ended. "If it were possible for me to Ignore the fishing laws, why would I not have the right to suspend from further operation the local-option law? "The law which Is causing, unfortu nately, a complicated state of affairs on the Columbia River was passed by the people last June, and Is Just as much a state law as are any of the other statutes of the state. That being the case, the only thing that remains for Oregon state officials to do Is to enforce the flshlns laws with the same diligence as ofher statutes. I have renewed my instruc tions to Master Fish Warden McAllister to continue his enforcement of the tish lng laws and to arrest all persons found violating them.

Cardinal Vannutelli appeared on the high balcony in gorgeous robes and elevated the host, while thousands of Catholics outside the building rever ently knelt. Thousands Hear Gibbons. The last day of the congress opened with pontifical mass In the cathedral, which was celebrated by the papal legate and at which all the cardinals, archbish op's and bishops and many others of the clergy assisted. The great edifice was crowded, the audience following with rapt attention, the sermon of Cardinal Gibbon's, who preached eloquently.

In re ply to a letter from Conrad Kohrs, of Helena, Mont., one of Montana's promi nent citizens and an Intimate Yried of President Roosevelt, on the candidature of Mr. Taft, and calling attention to a statement of Mr. Bryan's, that he IMr. Bryan) was the President's heir and nat ural successor, the President has written as follows: "Sagamore Hill, Oyster Bay, N. T., Sept. 9, 1908. My Dear Mr. Kohrs I have received your letter about the candidacy of Mr. Taft, the man whom. I feel Is in an especial sense the representative of all that In which I most believe In polit ical life. .

But no reform movement Is healthy If It nn hv snasms: if it is marked by periods of frenzied advance, followed, as such periods of frenzied aavance must oiw.v. he followed, by equally violent periods of reaction. The true friend of reform, the true foe of abuses, is rne h3 tadUV nerswveres in rltfhting wrongs, in wsrring .ogainst abuses, but whose character and fame are sucn mat he never promises what he cannot per form, that he always a little more than makes good what he does promise, and that while steadily advancing, ho never permits himself to be led Into foolish ex cesses which would damage the cause he cb.airip4e.ns. N " ; Sympathy fOrpressed. "in Mr. Taft we have a man who combines aU of those qualities to a degree which no other man in or out .kii Ufa since the Civil War has surpassed. To a flaming hatred of in justice, to a scorn of all that is base mean, to a hearty sympathy with the oppressed, he united entire disin terestedness, courage, botn moral ana h,-i. Ai or the very highest type, and a kindly generosity of nature which makes him feel that all of his reuow countrymen are in very truth his friends and brothers, that their inter ests are his and that all his great nnaJlties are to be spent with lavish. freedom in their service. The honest wage-worker, the honest laboring man, the honest farmer, tne honest mechanic or small trader, or man of small means can feel that In a peculiar, sense Mr. Tft tvill te his representative because of the very fact that he has the same scorn for the demagogue that hehas for the corruptlonist, and that he would front threats pf personal violence from a mob with the unqualling and lofty indifference with which he would Iront the bitter ar.ger of the wealthiest and . nowerful corporations. Broad though his sympathies are, there is in him not the slightest tinge of weak ness. No consideration of personal ln tarmnt any more than of fear for his personal safety, could make him swerve a halr"s breadth from the course which he regards as right and in the Interest of the whole people.
