and is proving most Important In our
foreign relations. They have strength
ened the United States and Great Brit
ain, the United States and France and
the United States and Canada.
"And now to the subject that has been
assigned me the United States. I think
it te not too much to say that those who
have studied our country, our civilization,
our Constitution and our people will reach
the conclusion that there is no country in
the world more conservative than the
Government of the United States. I note
the changes that are taking place in gov
ernment; In view of the new doctrines
that are being advanced of a socialistic
character, I think that is one of the
most important things to emphasize with
reference to the United States.

Reptile Equipped Both Fore and Aft
to Repel Enemies Owner
Wants Creature Classified.
A specimen of what is believed to be
an unknown species of the snake
family, locally at any rate, was cap
tured on Gregory Heights yesterday by
E. England, a member of a construction
gang employed by the Home Telephone
Company. The reptile Is about 18 Inches
long and is not to exceed two inches
in circumference. In color its back: Is
of a dusty light olive shade, while
Its stomach Is bright yellow. Its head
Is small and out of all proportions to
the body. In a way the snake some
what resembles the blue racer or cop
perhead, although It plainly does not
belong to either of these species.
The reptile apparently is doubly
equipped for repelling its enemies. In
addition to being provided with fangs
in its head, common with the snake
family, there is concealed in its tall a
fang-like appendage about half an
Inch In length, resembling a mosquito's
bill, which shoots out from its hiding
place whenever Its owner Is disturbed.
This curious specimen Is exceedingly
snail-like In its movements.
While snakes are not plentiful in
this state, Mr. England formerly lived
In the East, where he became acquaint
ed with many species of reptiles, but
he Is doubtful If the specimen he cap
tured yesterday is related to any of
the species of which he has a knowl
edge. Mr. England has taken the
strange specimen to his home, 334 Park
treet, where he will be glad to have
the assistance of snake experts In iden
tifying it.
MYERS TO LOSE POSITION
Baptist Pastor to Pay Dear for Crit
icism of Chicago University.
CHICAGO. July 7. (Special.) Rev.
Johnston Myers, pastor of the Immanuel
Baptiet Church, will pay for his attack
on the members of the University of
Chicago's faculty by retirement from the
trusteeship of the divinity department of
the university. This has been practically
decided upon by the university officials.
According to Dean Albion W. Small, act
ing president of the university during the
absence of President Harry Pratt Jud
son. Rev Mr. Myers' term as trustee will
expire within the present year, and he
will be quietly retired.
This was decided upon as the best pol
icy. ' The university officials, he eaid.
did not wish to embarrass Dr. Myers by
calling a special meeting o the trustees
to vote him out.
Dr. Myers aroused a storm of indigna
tion by declaring that atticism and im
morality were taught in the Midway
school. He said that the faculty mem
bers were lax in their morals, and that
there was no co-operation between them
and-fhe students.

NOT EVEN TO SENATORS
Secret History of Ijand-Fraud Cases
Believed to Show That Bona
parte or Devlin Used
Perjured Evidence.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 7. Hidden away in the ar
chives of the Department of Justice, dou
bly secure under official eeal, are docu
ments which, if ever brought td light, will
open up a scandal in Government circles
quite as sensational as any exposure made
by the sleuths and law officers of the
Roosevelt administration. This scandal,
however, instead of implicating the men
pursued by the last administration, would
involve the pursuers of criminals the very
men chosen and intrusted with the work
of running down and prosecuting graft
ers and other violators of the law.
No man, unless it be ex-Attorney-Gen
eral Bonaparte, can eay how many offi
cials are implicated in this smothered
scandal, for none but he is familiar with
all the records, and it was he who per
sonally sealed and stowed away the in
criminating documents. There is a law
prohibiting the destruction of Government
records; no eo long ago Binger Hermann
was tried for the destruction of alleged
official letterpress copybooks which he
kept in the General Land Office. In face
of the law, and with the memory it
might be said the sad memory of the
Hermann case fresh in his mind, Mr.
Bonaparte did not dare dispose of the
dangerous papers in hie possession at the
time he retired from the office of Attor
ney-General..
Took Peep and Shuddered.
So it was that the records in question
were done up in bundles, each carefully
wrapped and sealed, and on each wrap
per were written the words "Special
private," "Confidential," or "Not to be
opened." These explosive packages, on
March 4, were intrusted to the new At
torney-General, Mr. Wlckersham. He is
now their guardian, and except in one in
stance he has not disregarded the warn
ing of his predecessor. The contents of
the one package that was pried into con
vinced Mr. Wickersham that it would be
well for the reputation of his, and per
haps other departments of the Govern
ment, if the other bundles remained
sealed until doomsday.
Only an inkling of the contents of the
first bundle that containing the record
in the case of E. B. Perrin, of Williams,
Ariz. has leaked out. After that leak,
Mr. Wickersham restored the seal and
all further access to the confidential
files of his office has been denied. And,

KANSAS CITT, July 7. Swollen by tin
precedented rain and by melting snows
from the Rocky Mountains, the rivers of
the Lower Missouri Valley are out of

City at 9:25 A. M., for Denver, left the
track at Pomona, Kan. Of the 10 coaches
which made up tne train, a baggage
and three day coaches left the track
and slid into 18 feet of water.
A telephone message from Pomona,
Kan., at midnight, said the four-year-
old daughter of Mrs. Carrie Rose, of
Chicago, had been drowned In the
wreck. Three hundred others persons
who had taken refuge on top of the
unaffected coaches were rescued by
boats and quartered at nearby farm
houses.
Pomona in Midst of Lake.
Pomona is almost completely Inun
dated, the Marias des Cygnes River at
that point being three miles wide. A
relief train was sent from Ottawa to
night with food and other supplies for
the passengers, who were said to have
climbed on top of the coaches for refuge
from the rising waters.
In Kansas City the situation Is threat
ening. In the bottoms in the western
section where are located the stockyards,
wholesale warehouses and manufacturing
plants, the waters from the confluence of
the Missouri and Kansas rivers are lap
ping the danger line.
Rowboats to Rescue 150 0.
Pattensburg, a town in Missouri SO
miles north of Kansas City, is ten feet

property damage will be tremendous.

in the circumnavigation of the globe."
The paper adds that all English au
thorities class the United States second

OLVMPIA. Wash., July 7. (Special.)
The investigating committee tonight is
sued a citation commanding Govnor
Teats, of Tacoma, to appear at 1 P. M.
tomorrow to testify as to his statement
he can prove the 1907 law increasing the
membership of the Supreme Court was
designed to pack the court in favor of
the corporations' side of personal Injury
cases.
This was the feature of today's sessions
of the House committee investigating the
Supreme Court. Representative David,
of Tacoma, asked the subpena for Teats,
who, David said, had told a Jury he
could prove the Legislature of 1907 passed
the bill increasing tne membership of the
court by two to pack the bench in favor
of corporations in personal injury cases.
Corporations in Pool?
Attorney Herbert de Wolfe. In the
course of his long argument before the

porations of the state are in a pool to
control Supreme Court decisions; that
members of this court had violated their
oaths of office by deciding cases con
trary to the constitution and laws in fa
vor of the Seattle Electric Company, and
that Representative Palmer, of the com

by the committee because it would cost
him his employment by Seattle corpora
