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withdrawn by advice of Chief Forester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.
ALUMNI TO GIVE' PRIZES
Scheme to Reward Debating Talent
at University of Oregon.
UNIVERSITY OP OREGON. Eugene
Or.. July So. (Special.) A determined
effort Is to be made during the coming
Fall and Winter by members of the
fniverslty of Oregon Alumni Associa
tion to increase the number and amount
of the prizes offered University debat
ers. There are two Inter-state debating
teams, and it is planned to raise as a
prize for those successful in making
either of them, a cash amount of ap
proximately $200 to be shared equally
each year by the members of the two
teams.
Plans similar to this are in use at
both the University of Washington and
University of Idaho and are very suc
cessful. At present, the only prise given
for debate at the University of Ore
gon Is the Alumni gold medal, awarded
annually to the best individual de
bater, as shown In the try-out held for
the selection of the Inter-state teams;
The Alumni Association hopes to In

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

' 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.

Jake Howard, Who Shot John

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.

Stories of Parents' Quarrels and

Scores of Children.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 15. (Special.)
Suffering of little ones In the wake of the
divorce court is the story of the majority
of the present inmates of the Washington
Childrens' Home Society, as indicated by
the records in the office.
Of the 85 children now in care of the
society the largest number in its his
toryaccording to Miss Jean Matteer
office secretary, all but ten have at least
one parent living. The story of "incom
patability of temperament," lack of a
sense of parental responsibility, quarrels,
separation and divorce is written large
in the lives of most of these little chil
dren, and Instances are cited. There are
ten children in pairs out of five separated
families and though tender of years they
cling to each other at thoughts of separa
tion. The fate of these children la the old
story of domestic tragedy. The" parents
were divorced several months ago and
separated. When the mother placed the
children In' the hands of the Washington
Society the couple met at the depot,
signed the adoption papers, wept over
the children as they kiseed them good
bye, but would not bridge over the price.
Miss Matteer says, that kept them apart.
Miss Matteer says the home is being
congested with children of divorced
parents.
