Charles Dick, of Akron, arrived here and
Immediately held a consultation with his
colleague. The two lunched together and

ference. Mr. Dick upon leaving Mr. Taft
said he was going to call upon A. I.
Vorys. but Instead went to Mr. Foraker'a

Mr. Foraker sent word to the Taft
headquarters' tonight that he would will
ingly stay away from the meeting of the
League of Republican Clubs If his pres

this statement, but it Is expected that

MAY ELECT R. M. DRAKE
Former Portland Boy Mentioned as
Stanford Trustee.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Sept IS. (Spe
cial.) The death of Justice McFarland,
who had been a member of the board of
trustee of Stanford University since the
board waa first organised; has again
brought to the front the problem ot
choosing either an ahimnus or some well
known cltlxen to fill a vacancy In that
body. During Mrs. Stanford's lifetime
she chose the trustees to fill vacancies
caused by death or resignation. It waa
Mrs. Stanford's wish that eventually the
board might be made up entirely of
graduates of the university.
The name of Robert M. Drake, resident
engineer of the Southern Pacific Company,
has been prominently mentioned as Jus
tice McFarland'a successor on the board.
Mr. Drake was a member of the pioneer
Stanford class of 1SSK, coming from Port
land and graduating with honors In the
engineering course. He has since held Im
portant positions In the engineering serv
ice of the Southern Paacltlc.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 18. W. R. Hearst.
In a speech opening the Independence
party campaign in Missouri at the Odeon
Theater here tonight, answered the re
ply, of Senator Joseph B. Foraker to the
letters read by Mr. Hearst in Columbus,
O.. last night and read two more letters
from John D. Archbold, of the Standard
Oil Company, to Mr. Foraker. The new
letters, Mr. Hearst said, refute the state
ment of the Ohio Senator that all his
work for the Standard Oil Company re
lated solely to Ohio matters.
A good-slied audience greeted the New
York editor when he began his speech
at 8:30 o'clock, but approval of his ut
terances was by no means unanimous.
Hisses mingled with cheers when he as
sailed the Democratic party and Mr.
Bryan.
Haskell Serves Standard OH.
Not only did Mr. Hearst reply to Mr.
Foraker, but he also devoted a portion
of his speech to Governor C. N. Haekell,
of Oklahoma, the treasurer of the Demo
cratic National committee, whom he
charged with having served the Standard
Oil Company. To the defense of Mr.
Haskell that another man of the same
surname waa involved, Mr. Hearst replied
with affidavits alleged to have been made
by ex-Attorney-General Monnett, of Ohio,
and Assistant Attorney TGeneral Bennett,
of that state,' in which the name of C
N. Haskell distinctly appeared.
Those Patriots and Martyrs.
"Apparently Mr. Haskell got out of his
work for the Standard Oil Company the
chairmanship of the platform committee
of the Democratic National convention
and the treasurership of the Democratic
National committee," declared Mr.
Hearst. "In the front rank of the De
mocracy stands C. N. Haskell along with
those other patriots and martyrs, Roger
Sullivan, Tom Taggart, Murphy and Me
Carren." Mr. Hearst spoke about 60 minutes and
then made a dash in an automobile for
the Union Station, and took a train for

"PROFS" MUST NOT SMOKE
Minnesota t'niversity Edict Against
Tobacco Is Extended.
..-..' ' i
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.; Sept. 18. (Spe
cial.) The rule forbidding the use of
tobacco on the grounds of the University
of Minnesota has been strictly enforced
for several years as to students, but the
professors have disregarded it, and con
sequently have been setting a bad exam
ple to membera of their classes.
President Cyrus Northrop has finally
deemed it advisable to put an end to this
practice and he notified members of the
faculty today that the regulation prohibit
ing smoking on the campus on class days
was a general one, and applied to them as
well as everybody else. All students
obey the rule, and cease smoking as they
pass through the big gate at the entranoe
of the grounds, but the professors have
been accustomed to continue puffing their
clgara and pipes up to the doors of the
class buildings.

Federal Order Against
Fish Warden,
LIMITS ARRESTS TO OREGON
Injunction Protects Fishing on
Washington Shore, .. i
M'ALLISTER NOW PUZZLED
Faces Delicate Situation in En fore
ins State Statutes Until Juris- 1
diction Over Columbia Is V
Definitely Settled.
Federal Judge William B. Gllberft
yesterday afternoon Issued an order re-i
straining- Master Fish "Warden Mej
AUlster, of Oregon, from interfering!
with any person or persons engaged Irs1
Ashing under the authority of the Stats'
of Washington.
The order means a temporary casea
tion of hostilities between the Oregora
Fish Warden and Washington ftsher
men on the Columbia. However, it only
increases the difficulties of that of
flcial and intensifies the ill-feeling on
the part of fishermen on the Oregon!
side of the river. They threaten to
move their belongings to the Wash-'
lngton side, where there are no state
restrictions to their operations.
Officials Confer in Portland.
Federal interference in the bitter war1
that has been raging for weeks was!
the result of a conference In this clty
yesterday between Attorney-General!
Atkinson, of Washington; E. C. Mc-
Donald, his assistant, and Attorney-!
General Crawford, of Oregon. The con-j
ference continued all the forenoon andl
late in the afternoon It waa agreed
that Federal relief should oe soughti,
resulting in the issuance of the re-
straining order against, the Master,
Fish Warden. ;
As soon as it was issued, the ordert
was served upon Mr. McAllister and ha
in turn Immediately notified his dep-
utles, who have been patrolling th
lower river, to deslat in their eftortsj
to stop the operations of fishermen on
the Washington side. He also dis-
pensed with the services of several of
the large number of special deputies;
who have been employed In capturing
violators of the Oregon laws. ,
Extends to September 38.
In the actions before the Federal Courtj
yesterday Henry S. McOowan, a big,
canneryman of the lower river, appears',
as the complainant In one case and the.
State of Washington in the other. Mr. j
McAlliBter is made defendant in both'
cases, together with his deputies. The
temporary restraining order will be op-,
aratlve uritU September 28, when tha'
Oregon laws will be attacked in the
Federal Courts. j
The duties of the Master FUli Warden,
will be extremely delicate, as a result'
of the order of the Federal Court It j
directs the official to refrain from Inter-!
fering with those engaged in fishing,
under the authority of the Btate of j
Washington, "in that portion of the:
Columbia River lying within the terri-'
torial limits of the State of Washing-;
ton." ,
' ' Now Question of Boundary. !
There is only an imaginary boundary!
line between the two states, eourts hav
ing differed as to where the jurisdiction j
of one state actually ceases and that;
of the other begins. However, it ia j
said the channel of the river is usually!
recognized as the boundary line, andj
from that point the Master Fish War-(
den will operate. He will arrest any
persons who may be caught fishing onj
the Oregon side and in order to aecurej
a conviction he must establish a boun-t
dary line. Those on the Washington',
side will be Immune from Interference;
as a result of the order.
"It will be a difficult matter for m
to decide Just who is encroaching!
upon Oregon territory and who is not,"i
said Mr. McAllister last night. "I don't
know Just what la . considered the(
boundary line between the two states,
but I shall take it for granted that tha
current In the river is the boundary;
line. I shall continue my efforts to
carry ' out the Oregon laws, so far as
the Oregon side of the river Is con
cerned, but I have no doubt but that
there will be many infractions, for it
will be a difficult undertaking."
Three Proposals Are Made.
.Three propositions were made at
yesterday's conference by Attorney
General Atkinson in behalf of the State
of Washington. They were: First, to
agree to a friendly test suit with the
Oregon officials; second, to go before
the United States courts for injunctive
relief, pending a decision of the courts
as to the Jurisdiction of Oregon over
the Columbia River; third, to appeal
the case of Chris Neilson, a resident of
Washington, who was convicted in Ore
gon courts for fishing on the Washing
ton side of the river.
The conference began at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning at the Portland
Hotel, and late in the afternoon in
junctive relief was sought at the hand
