HARRIMAN MAKES
BREEZY SPEECH
Railroad Magnate Gives Opin
ion in Regard to Rail
road Legislation.
RECALLS OLD PREDICTION
Says He Told President Koosevelt
That He Was Inviting Trouble
With Passage or Interstate
Commerce Law.
NEW YORK. Dee. 1. An Impromp
tu speech of a breezy nature by E. H.
Harriman. in which the railroad man
took exception to the statements that
lia been made by preceding speakers
of the evening and referred pointedly
to what he declared was the fulfill
ment of a prediction he had made to
the President of the United States
three years ago was the feature of the
prosperity dinner of the Economic Club
at the Hotel Astor last night. -
Mr. Harriman mane a late entry Into
the speaker's "pulpit." responding to
the Invitation of the toastmaster after
the delivery of the formal address.
Ieclaring that he hesitated to speak
even to an economic organization. Mr.
Harriman went on:
Is Economic Subject.
"I'm a sort ot an economic subject
myself, an economfc morsel, a bone of
contention. I've been pursued by the
pack and the scent is getting pretty
slim. I don't intend to do" anything
to renew It. I wish I were able to say,
free to say. what I would like to you,
but I am not yet freed from a situa
tion that prevents my speaking my
mind to you fully.
"While my mental and moral being
were being Investigated." continued
Mr. Harriman. "I thought that my
physical being required some atten
tion, bo I turned myself over to the
care of- the physicians. I was dis
charged yesterday with the happy as
surance that there was nothing the
matter with me; that I had only been
taking good care of myself. I was
told to go out and eat what I pleased
and go where I pleased.. Perhaps
when the time comes I'll talk as I
want to talk, as I'd like to talk, but
that time is not here yet.
Some Things Xot Kight.
"Some things that have been said
here tonight are not right and some
day you will know they're not righf.
Surely you'll know It. I've tried to do
things satisfactorily in a lasting way,
and to give right transportation. I've
held many confabs with representa
tives of the Government, and I've heard
some of them agree that what they
proposed was not right. I told the
President of the United States three
years ago that in pussing the present
-interstate commerce act without
changing the Sherman act he was In
viting a great deal of trouble. Now
he will probably recommend at least
I think that he will recommend the
very thing which I suggested.
"There are two things that menace
the prosperity of the country Idle money
and Idle labor. The one is as mis
chievous as the other. It should be the
object of the Government to create a
condition whereby each may be used both
properly and fairly."
"The outlook for prosperity," was the
general topic for discussion at the din
ner. Paul Morton. ex-Secretary of the
Navy; Cyrus H. McCormlck, the well
known manufacturer. and President
Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia
University, being among the guests and
speakers. .The tone of the addresses was
markedly' optimistic, the keynote being
set by Paul Morton In his speech insist
ing that tiie chief menace to the coun
try was that it might travel too rapidly
long the path of prosperity.
"We are sure to meet with success,
he declared, "If we keep our feet In
touch with the earth and do not get the
"speed craze. Nothing can be gained by
exaggerating our prosperity."
Mr. McCormick testified to the pros
perity of the farmer, and President But
ler and Augustus Thomas to the many
encouraging economic signs of the times.
'KEFTSES TO RESTORE GRAYS
HARBOR'S OLD RATES.
Aberdeen Business Men Will Decide
Today on Definite Action to
Continue Fight.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Dec. 1. (Spe
cial. ) Peaceful eforts with tl North
ern Pacific Railway Company for re
tention of terminal rates on Gray'a
Harbor have been exhausted and noth
ing remains but to appeal to the Inter
state Commerce Commission. The
Gray's Harbor committee met the two
traffic managers Sunday at Tacoma
and went over the entire subJectN
Mr. Hanaford was inclined to lay the
blame for the action of the railroad
on the interstate commerce law. He
said the decision In the Spokane case
laid particular stress on the long and
short haul clause, and only permttfed
the long haul at terminal rates where
actual competition by water was met.
When asked about Olympla, Astoria
and Vancouver being allowed the rates,
lie replied that Astoria has actual
water competition by steamer plying to
Portland, and that Vancouver was re
gal ded much as a switching yard for
the port of Portland. As to Olympla,
he is quoted as admitting that It was
given the rate for "political reasons. It
being the state capital and the head
quarters of the Railroad Commission.
He said water-hauledf freight could be
lightered to Olympla for 11.50 a ton.
The subcommlttece at the Tacoma
conference will report to the general
committee tomorrow. when a definite
line of action will be determined. It
Is probable that the Idea of seeking a
court Injunction will be abandoned and
a formal complaint filed with the In
terstate Commission.
LURES VICTIM TO SUBURB
Seattle Man Sandbagged and Shot in
Peculiar Manner.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Dec. 1 One of the
strangest crimes ever committed In this
city occurred tonight when Prank At
wood. owner of tlie Glole Art IVnipany.
was lured to a house In the suburbs by a
man who proposed to purchase a large
tract of yruperty and tUsrs Dot ouiy as
sailed with sandbags, but shot at six
times, only one allot, however, being effec
tive. Several days ago a man called Mr. At
wood up on the telephone and said that
having arrived from the East he wished
to purchase some of his property. He
said he had no time to talk to him then,
but would meet him on his return from
Portland. The same man called tonight
and said that owing to an Injury a guide
would mest him at the car.
By devious routes Atwood was taken to
a house dimly lighted and asked to step
Into the dining-room after removing his
coat. As he did so he was knocked down,
struck a number of blows and fired at.
but owing to the door being open, made
his way during the fusillade to the door
and got to the next house. The police are
baffled.
Atwood received a shot In the knee,
which Is not serious.

Harriman Agent Makes Announce
ment Railroad Activity In
Harbor Country.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Dec. 1. (Spe
cial.) Within SO days a large crew of
men will be set to work on this end of
the Grays Harbor & Puget Sound (Union
Pacific) right of way throwing up dirt
for the grade and preparing the road
way. Thisi la the statement made this
afternoon by W. J. Patterson, general
manager on the Harbor for the Union
Pacific. He added:
"I am In a position to say this from
the very best authority. The people of
Gray's Harbor will no longer be in doubt
as to the probable Intention of the Union
Pacific. This action has been brought
about by the urgent demand of certain
large business interests which have been
showing the Union Pacific how great
the need is to get cars sufficient to do
business."
Several corps of engineers in the em
ploy of the Northern Pacific left this
morning for the Queets country and the
district that lies between. They are pre
pared for a long stay. The entire route
from Moclips to the Straits is to be gone
over thoroughly, and the engineers ex
pect to be busy until early In the Spring.
The St. Paul Railway engineers, who
are also in that section of country, are
said to be planning a route more in the
line of a logging road than a direct one.
in order to reach some of the big timber
belts of that section. In which the St.
Paul Is Interested with other concerns.
It is the belief of the engineers that the
entire northern section is to be the scene
of some big railroad undertakings within
the next six months.
TIMBER SHARKS ME HIT
MUST PAY VALUES FOR LAXD
UNDER STOXE ACT
Government Will Fix Value Within
Nine Months Ruling Dora Not
Affect Old Entries.
OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Dec. 1. Beginning December 1,
unreserved public timber lands entered
under the timber and stone act must be
paid for at its appraised value and will
no longer be sold for a flat rate of $2.50
per acre. Secretary Garfield today pro
mulgated a regulation to this effect, bas
ing It upon the language of the law,
which says that timber land shall bo
sold "for minimum price of J2.50 per
acre." Garfield holds that if 12.50 Is the
minimum price, a greater amount can
legally be charged for valuable timber
lands.
Under the new regulation a person da
pirlng to make a timber entry must file
his application, accompanying It by an
affidavit stating that he has been per
sonally upon the land and must submit
his own estimate as to the amount of
timber and Its value and value of land
when cleared. These filings will give
him a preference right to the land.
Within nine months the Government
will undertake to make Its own appraisal
and. when this is done, the applicant can
rave the land at the Government's price,
but his preference right will be forfeited
if he falls to make payment within 30
days after the Interior Department com
pletes its appraisal. Whenever the Gov
ernment falls to complete appraisnl with
in nine months, the applicant can secure
the land by making payment at his own
appraised valuation. Where the Govern
ment's appraisal Is considered too high
the land can be reappraised at the ex
pense of applicant.
In no Instance will timber land be sold
for less than J2.60 per acre. No entry
man can cut timber during the time ap
praisal Is being made, nor before he re
ceives a patent from the Government.
I.ast Winter Secretary Garfield endea
vored to persuade Congress to amend the
timber and stone act so as to provide for
the disposal of timber land at appraised
value. When Congress failed to act it
was announced that the Secretray would
do by regulation what Congress had
failed to do by legislation. Today's order
is the carrying out of that threat. Gar
field's order Is not retroactive. It does
not affect any entry heretofore made.
CASTRO IS iT WELCOME
FRENCH GOVERNMENT DOES
NOT WANT PRESIDENT.
V 111 Not Be Permitted to Visit Paris
Because of French Minister
From Caracas.
PARIS. Dec. 1. The French gov
ernment Is giving consideration to the
question as to how President Castro,
of Venezuela, shall be treated on his
arrival at Bordeaux. After the Ig
nominious fashion in which the French
Minister was expelled from Caracas,
the government feels that it would be
justified In refusng to allow the Pres
ident of Venezuela and aides to land.
President Castro Is reported to be ill
and humanitarian considerations pre
vent the government from taking
such a course.
, It is probable, therefore, that a port
official will be designated - to board
the steamer Guadelupe and ascertain
his intentions. If be desires to be
treated at Bordeaux he will be allowed
to remain there; If at Berlin he will
be given a passport across France, via
Lons. to the Swiss frontier. But in
no case will he be permitted to come
to Paris.
President Castro's statement at
Basse Terre. which he Is reported to
have made to Interviewers yesterday,
to the effect that he was proceeding
to France to settle a diplomatic mat
ter was the first intimation the French
government had that he had any in
tention of trying to settle the Vene
zuelan, difficulty with this country.

LET IN CHINESE
CALIFORNIA FARMER DISGUST
ED WITH WHITE LABOR.
Country Life Commission Hears
Conflicting Opinions Great
Volume of Suggestions.
SACRAMENTO, Dec. 1. According to
two of its -representatives the Country
Life Commission held In Sacramento to
day the most profitable session since It
left Dallas, Texas.
The labor question received considerable
attention and one of the larger farmers,
incensed - at the worthlessness of migra
tory white laborers, declared the only so
lution of the problem was to allow from
10.000 to 50.000 "energetic young Chinese
to enter the country each year."
Another declared himself drastically
opposed to Asiatic labor, and said the
gradual division of larger farms into
smaller holdings would solve the prob
lem. "The greatest farmers' movement for
improved conditions upon the farm ever
experienced In this or any other country
will be witnessed throughout the United
States during the next five days," said
Professor L. H. Bailey, chairman of the
Commission, today. He referred to the
farmers" meetings that will be held in
schoolhouses, country stores, churches
and other places where farmers congre
gate) throughout the United States In ac
cordance with the suggestions' lately made
by the President.
President Koosevelt. in a recent letter
to Professor Bailey, asked that the farm
ers get together in their schoolhouses or
other convenient places, prior to Decem
ber 5, and discuss the needs of the coun
try and of themselves and transmit to
the Commission on Country Life the con
sensus of their discussions.
"The public interest in the work of
the Commission," continued Dr. Bailey,
"Is evidenced by the mass of corres
pondence already accumulated at the of
fices of the Commission In Washington.
We have received to this date more than
100.000 letters enclosing answers to queries
sent out some weeks ago. These are now
being tabulated by the Census Bureau
In order that the Commission, when it
goes into session at Washington, may
have -the Information and advice con
centrated in a form that renders It
easily available for its use."
BUREAU WILL OPEN SOON
Free City Employment Office Nearly
Heady.
Portland's free employment office will
be opened In the near future In the City
Hall. Mayor Lane will appoint a secre
tary fbr the establishment soon, from a
list submitted by -the commission, and it
w-111 be possible for people to secure situa
tions freo- of cost before long by applying
to the office, which will be located on the
first floor of the building.' This was the
result of a meeting of the Commissioners,
held yesterday afternoon.
The Coinmlsgloners, of whom Council
man Rushlight is chairman, have recom
mended John A. Carr, Paulinus Mc
Donald. Richard Helmback and Mrs. A.
Grant for the position of secretary, and
from these Mayor Lane will select one.
The secretary will take charge of the
office, but it is regarded as certain that
more help will be necessary, and it is
likely that the Council will soon make
provision for at least one and perhaps
two assistants. It Is also likely that the
salary of the secretary will be Increased
from $75 a month to JI00 a'month.
There was some discussion as to the
best location for the office, but it was
finally decided that it would be best to
establish it In a room formerly used by
the Water Board, on the first floor of the
City Hall. Since It became known that
the office would be opened, scores of peo
ple have called at the Hall, seeking em
ployment. Much is said to depend upon
the ability of the secretary, and upon his
actions after taking charge. It is the
Idea of the Commissioners that one man
will be requl"ed to operate the office and
that another man will be needed to work
on the outside. It will be necessary for
Borne one to visit the offices, manufac
turlng establishments and the various
camps and mills about the coufHry to
secure contracts for workers. This makes
it virtually certain that two men will be
employed to carry on the work, and it
is said that It may become necessary to
employ a woman to care for the women
applicants for positions. Arrangements
have been made wnn ine i. w . cj. a
through Mrs. Lola O. Baldwin, to secure
work for women who call at that place
for situations.
It Is confidently believed by the Com
missioners and many others that the
establishment of a free employment office
In Portland will prove of great benefit to
wage-earners.

Every Contrivance Known to Med

NEW YORK, Dec. 1. The Charity Or
ganization Society began last night Its
campaign of education in curing and
preventing tuberculosis with a mam
moth exhibition at the Museum ot
Natural History, formally opened by
Mayor McClellan. .This exhibition, to
which 60,000 feet of floor space is de
voted for the displays from every state
in the Union and from IS loreign coun
tries. Is but part of the campaign.
Advertising and educational posters
have been placed by nunoreas or.
thousands through Greater New York,
and more than 1,000.000 leafletts are
being circulated. '.
Object to lgures.
Some objection has been made to the
realistic character of many of the fig
ures and tenement-room reproductions
at the museum and to the illustrative
paintings, but those in charge explain
that experience has shown the neces
sity of impressing vividly the serious
ness of the disease against which they
are fighting.
A great crowd visited the exhibition
yesterday and officials estimate that sev
eral hundred thousand will come be
fore January 15, when It closes. By
charts and models virtually every
phase of the disease, fighting methods
here and abroad are shown, rrom
those employed in the most congested
tenement and hovel districts of this
city and London to a New England
country village and in the pleasant
districts of Germany.
The models form the most fascinat
ing part of the exhibit. They vary
from the realistic, disease-wracked,
deadly pallor of the lay figures and
the dirt and vermin-filled miniatures
of East Side rookeries to those of Adi
rondack tuberculosis camps, with their
spotless cleanliness and opportunities
for pure air and of such foreign sani
tariums as that maintained by Berlin,
covering 1500 acres pf pine forests and
ecommodating 1200 patients.
