Senator Posed as Zealous in
Public Duty and Did Not
Talk of Buying Land.
SLUR AT ROOSEVELT FALSE
Attorney-General Shows by Begin
ning of Forfeiture Suit That In
sinuation Made by the Senator
la Entirely tnfounded.
WASHINGTON'. Jan. it Attorney-General
Bonaparte Issued a statement Uidajr
replying to that part of the speecli of
Senator Tillman delivered yesterday. In
which he declared that the resolution
in regard to the Oregon land grants In
troduced by him In the Senate, January
II. IS", had been prepared by the Attorney-General
and that his "interest In
the matter had first been aroused by a
desire to purchase some timber lands."
Sir. Bonaparte baa also replied to Mr.
Tillman's remarks In the Senate last Feb
urary that he bad not "bought any land
anywhere In the West or undertaken to
buy any." The Attorney-General says:
Two Passages Demand Notice.
"There are two passages In the remarks
of Senator Tillman, published In today's
( 'ongrcssiomU Rcord. which demand no
tice from me. He says:
"It might be well to Inquire whether or
not the Attorney-General has been ordered
not to obv the law of Congress passed last
Apii! which I will call the Tlllman-Bona-paxte
Law ordering suit to be Instituted
for the recovery OX the lands.
The ni!n who announces t Congress

Suit Brought to Forfeit.
"On September 14. 190S. suit was
brought by the United States In the
Circuit Court of the United States, for
the distrct of Oregon, agranst the Ore
iron & California Railroad Company,
the Southern Pacific Company, the
United States Trust Company, Indi
vidually and as trustee. Stephen Gage,
Individually and as trustee, and a large
number of Individual defendants. It
has been brought in accordance with
the directions of the Joint resolution
to which Senator Tillman refers.
"Senator Tillman says in another
part of his speech:
In my conversation with the Attorney
Canrral In record to the resolution which
I Introduced and which he hlmseif prepared
after we had talked over tli whole ques
tion. 1 distinctly remember telling him that
my Interest In the matter had been aroused
by my desire to purchaae some of the tim
ber lands and that my coming to him was
due to the Act that I discovered on Inves
tigation tat I couid not buy through any
agency whatsoever.
Tillman's Reason for Action.
"Senator Tillman called upon me at
the Department of Justice a few daya
before the Introduction by blm of the
resolution he presented to the Senate
January 31. 19uS. He told me be wished
to know the status of the land em
braced In these Oregon grants, because
be had beard so much complaint of
the corporations claiming them during
his rJ-'nt Journey through the states
of th"paelfic slope.
"He said that the lands had become
of great value and many persona
wished to purchase them, and added
that he would have been glad to do so
himself, if he could, but he never told
me a word of any connection on his
part with an arrangement to acquire
some part of these lands. As stated
by him. hla reason for making these
Inquiries was that he might better
discharge his public duties.
That He Might Do Duty.
""I gave him a full statement of the
Information which had been collected by
the department as the result of an In
vestigation made by Messrs. Townscoil
and McBlalr as spe-clal counsel. I told
him that we deemed It advisable to se
cure Congressional action In the form of
a resolution empowering the Attorney
t'reneral to claim a forfeiture of these
lands. Senator Tillman then offered to
Introduce a resolution on the subject If
I would prepare one: and I did prepare
such a resolution, which was Introduced
by him and subsequently adopted. I dealt
with htm throughout as asking for In
formation and advice. If I could give
It. only that he might fulfill his duty as
a public officer."
BANK CHANGES EXPECTED
Resignation of vr York Financiers
Causes Little Comment.
NEW YORK. Jan. 12 Financial cir
cles were Interested, but In no way sur
prised, today, when the resignations of
James Stlllman as president of the Na
tional City Bank and of George F. Baker
as president of the First National Bank
were" announced. It had been generally
understood that both men would "resign,
ilr. Baker was succeeded as president
by Vice-President I L. Hlne, but re
mained aa chairman of the board of
directors. Mr. S'.lllman also remained
chairman of the board of directors).
Mr. Vandc-r'Jp. the new president of
the National City Bank, was a Chicago
newspaperman when. In 1S37, Lyman J.
Cage, on becoming Secretary of the
Treasury, made him hla private secre
tary. Three months later he was made
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. In
ltl he resigned to take the. Vlce-Presl-V?nc

presumed that after entering the Rog
g'.raldl yard he lay down and wont to

Mrs. Roggiraldl when she looked out of
the window.
STATEMENT NO. 1 LOSES
Opponents Win Debate In Dr. C. T.
Wilson's Church.
The question. "Resolved. That State
ment No. 1 Will PurfTy the Politics of
Oregon" was discussed last night at the
meeting of the Men Club of Centenary
Methodist Church. East Ninth street, by
four young men, and the audience de
cided In favor of the negative. Rev.
Clarence True Wilson, the pastor, "pre
sided. Thomaa Leonard and Glenn R. Johnson
upheld the affirmative. Mr. Leonard de
clared corruption had been practiced In
the election of Oregon Senators. He con
tended that under the operation of State
ment No. 1 opportunity for corrupt prac
tices Is largely eliminated. The affirma
tive also pointed out that In the old
method practlcaly the whole session waa
occupied in the election of United States
Senator.
A. 9. Thompson and E. R. Abbett rep
resented the negative. Mr. Thompson de
clared that the United States Is governed
by politics and anything that tends to
change thla method subverts Ita very
foundation. Statement No. 1. he Bald,
Introduces dry-rot Into the politics of
the country and leaves nothing but an In
dividual scramble for office, which the
man of wealth Is sure to secure In the
end. He declared that in Oregon no poor
man or man of moderate means could af
ford to become a candidate for United
States Senator. Senator Bourne, declared
Mr. Thompson, spent thousands of dol
lars in his campaign. It was pointed out
that he flooded the state with literature
and' personal letters months before the
election. The negative also contended
that the opportunity for corrupt prac
tices waa even greater under the opera
tion of the primary law and Statement
No. 1 than ever before, and clinched thla
argument by pointing .to the large regis
tration of Democrats aa Republicans for
political purposes.
After the question was thoroughly dis
cussed, the audience waa asked to vote
on the merits of the discussion and not on
personal views, with the result that the
negative was given the decision.

PULLS TEETH OF RIVAL
(Continued Prom First Page.)
osttlon. I told him I believed many
abuses were due to the attempts of rivals
to gain advantages by petty means and
sharp practices. However, I said I did
not like the Idea of having a Union Pa
ciiic director on our board.
"Mr. Harrlman suggested that he be
given a place on the Atchison board and
offered me a place on the executive com
mittee of the Union Pacific or Southern
Pacific .
Let in Rogers and Frlck.
"About the time of the stockholders'
meeting In 1904, the difficulty had not yet
been adjusted. Mr. Harrlman banded me
proxies for 2S0.OUO shares of stock, not
to be wed unless we reached an agree
ment before the meeting.
"Then our difficulties were by that
time very few. He had agreed that the
Southern Pacific should build a low grade
line from Pho?rlx to Deming and give
the Atchison the privilege at any time to
arrange traffic rights on very favorable
terms. He de3ired that we should not
move traffic over the lino to 3 Paso,
where we would connect with the Union
Pacific, Rock Island and other lines. I
did not attach much Importance to thla
Some time after ho yielded on all points
remaining aud Mr. Rogers and Mr. Frlck
were then elected to our board and one of
them, Mr. Rogers, to the executive com
mittee. "Mr. Harrlman and I were quite open
with each other. I realized that the gen
tlemen named could have elected four
members with the 2O.0X) shares of stock,
constituting one quarter of the IS board
members. If they desired to. That would
have taken four years to do, one a year.
"He pointed out. or I pointed out, that
it would not be well to have a board of
directors divided against Itself."
Harrlman Did Not Meddle.
"What kind of directors were Mr. Frlck
and Mr. Rogers?" asked counsel for the
railroad companies.
"They are very zealous. I don't recall
any question raised on account of their
connection with the Southern Paciflo or
Union Pacific," replied Mr. Morawitz.
"Did Mr. Harrlman ever try to exert
any Influence over Atchison matters?"
"He never did."
The witness said he had never heard of
a relaxation of competition between
Atchison and Southern Pacific.
Mr. Severance, of counsel for the Gov
ernment, asked Mr. Mnrawitz If he
thought it the proper thln to turn the
Phoenix & . Enstern lines over to the
Southern Pacific when the people had
given every right of way for a oom-p-t!ng
line.
"I am not sure I know It," Mr. Mora
wits replied.
Not Moved by Petty Things.
The witness under cross-examination
admitted that the "link" that had been
turn"d over to the Southern Paciflo
would have connected with the California
Coast, Mexico and tha Northwest.
Mr. Severance quoted Ugal authority
for the statement that the board of direc
tors of the company should not have as
members directors of a rival company.
"i'ou don't think accordingly." he said,
"that Mr. Rogers or Mr. Frick should
.have been among the directors T'
"That does not follow."
"Why are they better than other men?"
"I have not found In my large ex
perience that gentlemen of large affairs
aro influenced by petty things."
"Not by such trifling things as self-Interest
r
"Not by small affairs."
The hearing was adjourned until t P.
M. tomorrow.

HUNDRED MINERS DEAD
(Continued From First Page. ) "
Columbus, O., to the scene of the acci
dent. This afternoon a rescue party had not
been able to enter the mine, on account
of the Intense heat. It is thought that
following the explosion the mine caught
fire, although little smoke is finding its
way out. The mine officials refuse to
give an estimate of the number that
might have met death, but at the pit
mouth it Is believed that 100 may have
perished. . The officials cannot now sug
gest a cause for the explosion. Miners
place the blame on some of the foreign
miners, who may have entered with an
open lamp.
Beliere All Have Perished.
A late estimate places the number of
men entombed at more than 100. That
all of them are dead there can bo no
doubt- The fire in the mine and the
deadly gases preclude any chance of
reecuins- any of them.
The main entry of the mine is four
miles long. Debris was blown from
both entries. The fans that furnished
the fresh air were not disabled.
On the Tug River side, four miles from
the main entrance, the smoke and flames
gushed from the entrance, burning the
twigs and small limbs from the trees that
grew near
- The mine Is owned by the People's Con

Laughter, Digestion
And Health
An eminent Russian physician has
stated his opinion that laughter is one
of the best means known to science for
the correction of Dyspepsia, stomach
and nervous diseases.
Laughter, however, in a dyspeptic Is
like the memory of running brooks and
shady glens to the famishing and dying
man lost in the desert.
If one could hut know all the causes,
reasons and origins of Dyspepsia, one
would not wonder at a half-hearted-ness
of a dyspeptic's gaiety.
There is a ceaseless call for appetite,
food and enjoyment to a dyspeptic,
coupled with a morose, moody belief
and knowledge that such a call is
mockery and if indulged in will bring
discomfort, pain and regret.
Perhaps if it were understood that
the digestive system, including mouth,
throat and alimentary canal, embrac
ing as It does the stomach, is composed
of membraneous tissue filled with mil
lions of small nerves, which control
added millions of little mouths or
suckers. Perhaps if this were known
men could more comprehensively under
stand that to disarra"ge such a sys
tem would mean Indeed Intense physi
cal pain.
Now suppose that this alimentary
canal Is a mass of worn-out, debili
tated nerves and mouths, each suffer
ing excruciating physical pain and dis
comfort, and uppose such a canal filled
with the fumes and foul odors and do
cayed food from the last meal, and one
has a slight idea as" to the lack of
laughter of a dyspeptic.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed
of the highest digestive Ingredients
one grain of a single Ingredient being
capable of digesting 3000 grains of
food relieves the alimentary canal of
Its onerous duties, assists It along its
entire length (30 feet) to perform Its
routine, imparts strength and buoy
ancy to the stomach and gives back to
the blood a strong, healthy nourish
ment. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are natur
al adjuncts to digestion. They do not
falsely stimulate an already weakened
machine, but build up where building
is needed and remove where removal is
necessary.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
nothing to conceal. Here Is what they
are made of: Hydrastis, golden seal,
lactose and aseptic pepsin. Forty
thousand physicians In America and
Canada use and prescribe them. They
should be used after every hearty meal,
Whethef one is a dyspeptic or not.
Every druggist carries them; price
