THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, . JTTLY 26, 1909. s Secretary Is Also Said to Be After Chief Newell, of Reclamation Service. OUTCOME IN MUCH DOUBT Agreement Between Forest Service and Indian Office Broken Off on Grounds It Is Illegal Heads Scurry to Justify Course. WASHINGTON. July 25. (Special.) No one any longer pretends to doubt there Is a deadly feud between the in terior Department and the Forest Serv ice, which is a branch of the Agricul tural Department. Secretary Ballinger has been opening to settlement lands which had been withdrawn by advice of Chief Forester Pinchot, and some of these lands in clude water sources and power sites, which Plnchot's friends say will now be gobbled up by the trust which has secured pretty much all the water avail able for power in Oregon. Washington and California. Ballinfter Is said to aim at the decapi tation of Chief Newell, of the Reclama tion Service, as well as of Pinchot, and Newell is working both tooth and nail to justify his course, while Pinchot is doing the same. Senator Newlands. of Nevada, gave an al fresco supper last night, with stereopticon views after wards as a part of Newell' campaign. Indian Office Agreement Orf. The latest phase of this fight is the termination by Ballinger of a co operative arrangement heretofore exist ing between the Forest Service and the Indian Office in the protection of for ests on Indian reservations and in the sale of timber and the supervision of logging- Ballinger makes the claim that such co-operation is in contraven tion of law and of well-settled princi ples. Pinchot declines to comment on this action, but he is known to be greatly disgusted, and has sent to the Secretary of Agriculture a statement of the work done under the co-operative agreement, which apparently is Intended to be in Justification of it. Outcome Much In Doubt. The Senate irrigation committee Is in the midst of an investigation of the Reclamation Service, wbioh may bring out valuable information. In Washington there is considerable speculation whether this fight will re sult in the resignation of Ballinger, or whether the Seattle man will prove stronger than Pinchot and Newell com bined. In circles favorable to the last administration the cry is raised that Ballinger Is fighting to overthrow the Roosevelt policies, but Ballinger's friends assert he Is only trying to get his department back on a substantial and legal basis.

LAND SUIT IS DECIDED BEARING OS UMATILLA CASES IS IMPORTANT. Judge Bean Reverses Ruling of In terior Department on Baals of Defendants' Demurrer. PENDLETON. Or.. July tS. (Special.) A decision, regarded here as of far reaching Importance, was handed down yesterday by Circuit Judge H. J. Bean, in a case Involving reservation lands. The decision is considered Important because the point at issue was Identical with that involved in the famous Uma tilla land cases in which Colonel J. H. Raley and a number of other prominent residents of Pendleton and this county are Involved as defendants. A direct reversal of recent departmental rulings is also contained in the decision. The case decided was that of J. H. Lawrey versus Charles Hanna. So called "grazing land" upon the Uma tilla reservation waa purchased by Lawrey In 1903, In compliance with the provisions of the famous Fulton act, the price per acre being J1.25. Following the purchase, Lawrey's entry was con tested by Hanna on the ground that the land was agricultural and that Lawrey had never lived upon it. The Land Of fice ruled with the contestant, as did also the Commissioner-General of the office and the Secretary of the Interior. Thereupon Lawrey brought suit In the Circuit Court of the state to establish his claim to the land. The basis of his plea before the court, as it was before the Land Department, was that the sale made by the Government was an abso lute sale and that the Government could not go back of this sale to entertain a contest. In his decision Judge Bean reverses the previous rulings of the department and upholds the contention of Lawrey throughout. The land involved in this single case is not of great value, but the greatest Importance attaches to the decision be cause of its bearing upon the so-called "Umatilla land frauds cases." In the de murrers to the indictments against the Umatilla County men. the same plea was made as in the case just decided. Should Judge Wolverton allow this contention, the' cases now pending will likely be dis missed by the Government. INSANE MAN TERRIFIES . .. ..-T : ' V SWISS- RAISES HAVOC AMONG OREGOX CITY PEOPLE. Three Officers Required to Place Him Cnder Arrest and Special Guard Watches Him. OREGON CITY, July 25. (Special.) Hans Baumann. a nativeof Switzerland, became suddenly insane In the south end of town this morning and it required the efforts of three officers to land him In the County Jail,' where he is being watched constantly by two speclfcl dep uties, to prevent him from getting loose from his straps. Baumann came here last May and has been staying at the Willamerta Hotel, where he has attended strictly to his own business. He is not a drinking man. Last night he suffered a deranged mind and kept people near him awake by ham mering all night, and this morning his apartment was a sight, his belongings being strewn from one end to the other, and all over the walls were tacked empty tobacco bags, postal cards and other articles. Baumann had two tickets for an excursion to St. Helens today, and went on board the steamer this morn ing, but left the boat before the craft departed. The Insane man uncoupled an engine from a string of cars standing on the Southern Pacific tracks and frightened the passengers on an interurban car by running through it. He wound up at the filter plant and was taken In charge by Constable Miles, who was later assisted by Sheriff Beattle and Chief of Police Burns. Baumann has a wife and two children In Switzerland and it is believed their re fusal to come to America had something to do with the unbalanced condition of his mind.

DIES TRAGIC DEATH Spokane Fireman Killed in An swering Call to Fire. CAUGHT BETWEEN TRUCKS Body 19 Almost Severed, and Gasping "Mary, Mary," Young Man Ex pires Half an Hour Later In Hospital. SPOKANE. Wash.. July 25. (Special.) Gasping "Mary. Mary." half an hour after being slashed on both sides of his body between the chest and hips by the sharp steel ends of a fire-truck ladder, Plpeman H. Joe Maynard, one of the best-known flre-flghters of the Spokane department, last night died at the Emergency Hospital at the Police Sta tion as a result of an accident while rushing in response to an alarm of fire from the Gandy Block on Sprague avenue, between Lincoln and Monroe. Maynard, a pipeman from Station No. 1, was leaning from the wagon pull ing on his coat when he lost his hold, and when the horses on his wagon slipped, the horse on the truck from Station No. S rushed up from behind and the ends of one of steel-framed ladders caught him full, one prong cut ting his body on each side. His liver and other organs were exposed and while calling for his young wife be tween gasps. Maynard expired, his brother Bremen meanwhile fighting a stubborn fire which gutted the two stores on the lower floor and badly smoked the Gandy Hotel, on the second and third stories. Maynard has been married five years and was but 27 years old. His wife knew nothing of his sudden death un til this morning. She Is now In the care of a physician. Negligence of the telephone operator In answering the phone call from the Hotel Gandy when the Are broke out. caused a delay of five minutes and gave the fire the start, according to J. D. Atkins who is associated with Mrs. E. M. Shut in the hotel. "I waited for five minutes for the central girl to answer, then I hiked down the paved street two blocks in my night gown to turn in the alarm. Be fore I reached there the whistle sounded." said Atkins. Mrs. Shut went from door to door and aroused the "0 lodgers until a stream of humanity gowned in kimonas, nighties, strings of beads and looks of anguish and carrying their worldly goods trekked down the three flights of smoke-choked stairs to the street. R. D. Johnson, owner of the Vogue Millinery, cannot estimate the. loss. It is believed to be $5000. S. H. Rush, father of Harry Rush, ball pitcher and owner of a leather store, is J1000 loser. The Hotel Gandy is badly smoked and soaked, but the flames did not reach it to a great extent. HENEY'S" PULL PUZZLES (Continued from Page 1.') amounts which . Mr. . Heney asked for have never been given out. Paid at Rate of $35,000 Yearly. There are men in Congress who be lieve that the legal services of Mr. Heney In the various land fraud cases "in which he has appeared were not worth $68,000 to the government. . While this employ ment extends over a period of more than three years, it is .the understanding in Congress that not all of this time was devoted to the government cases, and that in point of fact Mr. Heney was really serving the Department of Justice not over two years, or thereabouts. That would make his compensation In the neighborhood of J36.000 a year. . But it is not alone becai.ee the amount is regarded by many as excessive that an investigation Is desired y the prime reason is because - of the manner in which deferred payments have been made to Mr. Heney. According to the record, he retired from active Federal employ early in January, 1907. Since the date of his resignation he has been paid $33,000. and these deferred payments were 'strung out as follows: August 31. 100T $ 5.000 December 2. 1807 S.000 March 2. 1908 , 8.000 July 6. 190S 10.000 January 21. 1909 5.000 Gives Receipt, but Draws Pay. It is a little puzzling to know why a man who severed his connection with the Federal 8ervlce in January, 1907, should be paid material lump sums every few months for a period of two years there after.. Representative Tawney, chairman of theHouse appropriations committee, makes the statement that Heney was paid $23,000 during the fiscal year 1909, but rendered The Government no service during that time. That statement is supported by the Chief Clerk of the De partment of Justice in his testimony be fore the appropriations committee. But there Is still another reason why the House wants an Investigation. Ac cording to second-hand information which was laid generally before members, Mr. Heney. after being paid a total sum of $54,175, gave to the Attorney-General a receipt In full for all amounts due him as prosecuting officer in the various land fraud cases In which he has been en gaged. After giving that receipt he performed no known service for the Gov ernment; this is stated by this same official of the Department of Justice in his testimony before the appropriations committee. Yet, after having receipted in full, Heney, on July S. 1908 received a $10,000 payment, and on January 21, last, was paid another $5,000. or $15,000 In excess of what he himself admitted was due him when he gave his receipt in full. Heney's Pull Puzzles. Senators and Representatives who have undertaken to probe into this matter say they have never been able to get a satis factory or definite explanation of why these belated payments were made to Mr. Heney, especially the $15,000 paid him after he had closed his account with the government. To all Inquiries the an swer is given that these payments were made on account of services rendered by Heney before he resigned in January, 1907. There is no effort on the part of the Department to explain what these services were; when they were rendered; what they accomplished, or anything about them. Always the answer comes, "for services previously rendered." That Is all that has been brought to light thus far. . In this same connection. It developed during the recent discussion in the House of Representatives, that Mr. Heney is still, in a measure, connected with the Department of Justice. Just what his connection is la not clear. It seems to be understood that he is, in a way, retained in an advisory capa city, and later on is to prosecute the Blnger Hermann and J. N. Wil liamson cases. Inquiry at the Depart ment of Justice brings forth the state ment that Heney Is not paid for his advisory services that Is, is not paid any fixed salary. Upon the completion of a case, he will submit his account, and that account will be paid, if ap proved by the Attorney-General. The Inference conveyed Is that Heney will not receive further compensation from the Department unless ha again takes up and prosecutes some one or more of the long-standing cases, with which he has been associated. If he does con duct the prosecution in the Hermann case or the retrial of the Williamson case, he will be paid; otherwise, he f will receive no further compensation. But even this statement is not made officially, and so far as the committees of Congress have been able to dis cover, there is no recorded' assurance from the Attorney-General that Heney must work for" whatever money he re ceives hereafter. However,' in one of the speeches he made In the 'House, Representative Tawney stated that Heney had been paid nothing since Mr. Wickersham became Attorney-General, and he felt convinced that he would be paid noth ing by Mr. Wickersham ; unless he rendered real service. In so many words, he said that Heney would not, by this administration, be paid for work he did not perform. In view of the fact that Mr. Tawney had a con ference with the Attorney-General before-making that statement in the House, it is reasonable to assume that he spoke by authority. In the last administration, Francis J. Heney was a favorite.' His Influence with President Roosevelt was great; his power over Secretary Hitchcock was complete, and he had the backing of Attorney-General Bonaparte. It was Bonaparte who made the deferred pay ments to Heney after he had closed his accounts. Just how Heney stands with this ad ministration is still In some doubt. Pub lic men who have talked with the Attorney-General have come away with the Impression that Mr. Wickersham has' not that same high regard for Heney that was entertained by his pre decessor. It is well known that sub ordinate officials of the Department of Justice do not think or speak well of Heney. It may therefore be reasonably concluded that Heney is no longer held In the highest regard by the Depart ment of Justice. His methods, both in court, and before grand Juries,-are frowned upon, and it is understood that this opinion is shared, to some extent, at least, by the Attorney-General as well. Taft Fears to Drop Heney. Furthermore, President Taft is said to have expressed dissatisfaction with Heney's methods. It is said that he would like to see the Government final ly sever its relations with him. But there is just one thing that prevents the curtailment of Heney's services. Heney is a survivor of the Roosevelt administration; it is commonly known that President Roosevelt believed in Heney and regarded him highly; Mr. Heney's name has long been associated with land fraud prosecutions. In view of the state of public mind, if this administration, at this time, should abruptly drop Heney, and announce that he would not again be employed to prosecute any land fraud cases, the cry would go up that "Taft Is. break ing away from the Roosevelt policies he does not propose to continue the prosecution of land thieves he is going to let the grafters have full sway." And more to the same effect. Men well versed in the inside of things in this administration say that but for this prospect, Francis J. Heney would be cut off from all connection with the Department of Justice, not again' to be employed under the Taft administration. In their judgment. Mr. Heney is a white elephant on the hands of the administration, left over by the Roosevelt administration an elephant that President Taft would gladly lose but for the unfavorable comment that might arise should he follow his per sonal inclinations. But at all events. Senators and House members believe that Heney, though he may, for a time, continue to be con nected with the Department of Justice, will enjoy no more sinecures, and will receive only such compensation as his services Justify. ' All of which may be changed, if Con gress is successful in driving its probe to the bottom. The only thing' that stands In the way of a successful in vestigation is the desire of the Depart ment of Justice of this administration to uncover nothing that will reflect upon its record during the Roosevelt administration. IRDEliBGFLIKELY SALOOX ROW NEAR BAKER CITY IJiADS TO DEATH. Jake Howard, Who Shot John Hinds, Placed In Jail An .; other Slightly Wounded. BAKER CITY. Or., July 25. (Spe cial.) Jake Howard, who shot and killed John Hinds in a saloon at Dur. kee. 12 miles from Baker City, last night was brought here today and lodged in Jail. The Coroner's verdict places the crime of killing Hinds on Howard, which means there will prob ably be a charge of murder in the first degree lodged against him. In the row lat night that resulted in Hinds' death, Claud Hindman was also shot, the ball entering his hand. It is thought today he will lose a finger. Just what started the quarrel is more or less an unsettled question. Hinds, the murdered man, had been in the em ploy of Albert Hindman, and some al lege that Howard, his assassin, made unpleasant remarks about the Hindman family, which caused Hinds to offer de fense for his employer. It is also said some ill feeling had existed between the two principals for some time and when each grew Irritated In the saloon last night. Howard took advantage of the occasion and shot Hinds three times In the breast. Hinds died within five minutes. Both men are single and have been working on ranches and in the mines around Baker City for some time. SAM HILL jftlDS QUAKERS Donates Fund Toward Work of Friends Church In Oregon. NEWBERG.
