MOVE IS BEGUN TO
E
Legislative Committee Goes
Into Executive Session
at Olympia.
JORDAN IS PUT ON STAND
Seattle Doctor Appears Very Nervous
When Aked About His Connec
tion With Alleged Attempts
to Fix- the Court.
OLYMPIA. WMh.. Auk. li-lSpeclal.)
Facing a movement, incipient as yet,
to bring about its dismissal, tlie House
committee engaged in probing rumors
concerning the Supreme Court went into
executive session tonight to consider the
ituation. after Interrogating very briefly
Dr J. Eugene Jordan, the Seattle phy
aician who has financed a large number
of land title lawsuits and whose, name
haji become Involved In an alleged at
tempt Improperly to Influence court de
cisions. The movement to dismiss the committee
has not yet tata-n the form of a resolu
tion, but la being dlscusssed by House
members. The members of the com
mittee are not yet ready to report and
are unanimously In favor of continuing
the Investigation. There are some mat
ters, however, that are interfering with
the committee's deliberations. These are
the lack of sufficient authority to sum
mon and compel witnesses to testify,
lack of funds to employ counsel, the
presence on the committee of Repre
sentative E. B. Palmer, whose name has
become Involved In the rumors, and the
action of the State Bar Association In
what the committee looks upon as the
casting of discredit upon its work.
Palmer May Drop Out.
All these matters were discussed in cx
executlve session tonight. Mr. Palmer
was not present, but it Is understood that
by reason of the Implication of him In
the rumors now being probed he does
not desire to particlpaxe In the report of
the committee, and that if the commit
tee Is continued he will ask to be re
lieved. The members of the committee
concur In the opinion that this is the
proper course for Mr. Palmer to pursue.
C. Will Shafer, secretary of the State
Bar Association, was present during a
portion of the executive session and was
told by the committee what It thought
of tlie action of the association
In ordering disbarment proceedings
Instituted against Herbert N. De
Wolfe. whose charges originally
brought about the appointment of the
committee. While the Bar Association
has ordered disbarment proceeding in
stituted against De Wolfe. It has de
ferred action until after the committee,
completes its work.
This action, according to committee
members, makes It difficult to secure
tlie testimony from lawyers who other
wise would be willing to appear.
Jordan Is Very Nervous.
The HaJsey committee is required to
report to this special session of the Leg
islature through members of the House
who are friendly to the committee. It
Is likely a. resolution will be introduced
broadening the scope of the committee's
powers and providing for the filing of a
report after the adjournment of the
present special session If the work of
the committee cannot be completed prior
thereto.
Dr. Jordan, who appeared before the
committee tonight, was plainly nervous
and excited. He was given no oppor
tunity to give his version of the story
of attempted blackmail told by Don Mor
row on the stand yesterday. Dr. Jor
dan admitted that he had helped finance
the quiet title suit of Ramsey vs. Wilson
In conjunction with Mrs. Sarah I Brown.
Mrs. Brown, he said, had paid out about
JWOO and that he had put in between
J.W and JSOOO. He kept no record and
could not remember the exact amount.
The money, he said, was paid over to P.
F. Morrow, the witness denounced yester
day by his eon, Don, and by Mrs. Brown.
Kioee Confidence in Jordan.
Dr. Jordan declared that he had never
advised Mrs. Brown to go to B. B. Pal
mer and had never talked to Morrow
about going to Palmer's office. Dr. Jor
dan was asked to identify a signature to
n letter and admitted It to be his own.
This letter is to P. F. Morrow and asks
him to come to his office, as he had
something to tell hira that could not be
conveyed otherwise. Members of the
committee said that the letter was cor
roborative to previous testimony as to
conferences over the Ramsey case.
After the meeting one of the committee
members expressed a lack of confidence
In Dr. Jordan and said that the black
mailing story told on the stand yester
dav was so plainly concocted that they
did not care to hear more about it.
SCHIVELY LOSES BY VOTE
(Continued From First page )
fore the rolls were called on the quali
fication of the IS Senators challenged by
Schively. Attorney-General Bell replied
to Attorney Israel's argument of yester
dav. and Mr. Israel closed. The following
voted to sustain the challenge as to
Chairman Allen, of the investigating com
mittee: Booth. Etastham. Huxtable. Hutchinson,
Kline. MetJowan. Minklcr. Potts, Ruth,
Smith and Williams.
There were absent Graves, Nichols and
Whitney.
Eight were opposed to Paulhamus and
Fishback. Opposition to the setting of
others was confined to one or two mem
bers. Attorney Israel thereupon entered
on his argument of the demurrer to the
Spokare perjury count.
It Is reasonable to suppose." said Mr.
Israel, "that exact Justice will be meted
out to Mr. Svhlvely on this charge In the
Superior Court of Spokane County. If
found guilty, he will be out of office un
der the statutes of this slate. Why
should the state and the defendant he put
to the expense of summoning a host of
witnesses from Spokane? Is it fair to
John Schlvely to try him here on this
charge, when no matter what your ver
dict he wil' have to be tried there? In
the Interest of Justice, fair play and ex
pense, and because no harm can come by
Its elimination, this article should be
held to be redundant and Immaterial."
In replying. Representative Edge, of
the Impeachment managers, argued that
this trial was not for the purpose of pun
ishing Schively. but In the Interests of the
state. He pointed out that this charge
was not subject to the statute of limita
tions or the argument that the crime
charged was committed while Schively
was a deputy.
The expense has already been gone
into," said Edge. "The witnesses are
' suhpenaed and are already here. If you
i strike this out we might as well ad
! Aaaia. ul Ma home. We have assumed.
DROP COURT PROB
the responsibility for this article and
can prove this charge."
Assistant Attorney-General Lee also
replied to Israel's argument accusing
Israel of trying to Induce the members
of the Senate to violate a provision of
the constitution on the ground of ex
perse. , .
"I am not here pleading solely for the
saving of expense." replied Israel.
"Personally I don't care anything about
the expense. I am here pleading horse
sense. The meaning of the constitu
tion is that if a man is impeached for
a high crime and the people of the
state believe he has not been punished
enough, they may then reach out for
him and try him some more in the
courts. The criminal proceeding was
lntituted in Spokane oeiuro j
it up Why should you thresh it out
ahead of them? Why should you wish
to sit as a criminal court, when for
two days you have been contending
that ycu wtro a political court?"
Th overruling of this demurrer was
followed by the commencement of an
argument on the demurrers to the
other 15 articles. These have been ar
ranged in about a half dozen groups,
and Israel was on the first group when
the Senate adjourned until tomorrow.
Israel Takes lp Law Point. ,
In this argument Israel laid great
stress on rule 20 adopted by the Sen
ate, which provides that procedure
shall be governed by the common law
and ihe stote statutes. On this theory
he contended that article 1, charging
extortion of J-'OO each from several
companies by .Schively, not only failed
in being specific as required by the
criminal statutes, but was without the
pale of -the statute of limitations, the
charge relating to transactions more
than one year old. Israel declared that
the law permitted Schively to collect
from tie companies his actual ex
penses; that the ar..ele did not charge
that he did not make the examinations
or that $200 was more than his ex
penses if he did make the examination,
or that the 1200 was kept by him. The
charge simply was. he declared, that
certain companies had paid $235 each
for entrance fees when the statutory
fee was 935, and that the state had
received only $35 in each instance.
"If you are going to conduct this
case under the rules of common law
and the statutes of the State of Wash
ington, as you have provided In rule
20. and test the efficiency of demurrers
thereby, you are up against a condition
where you can't take testimony under
the charges in this article," was the
conclusion.
The Senr.te has voted against hold
ing night sessions in the impeachment
trial. Proceedings will begin at 9:30
A. M. and end at 6:30 P. M.. with one
and or.c-half hours intermission at
noon. Indications given by the pro
cedure so far indicate a lengthy trial.
In discussing hours for holding ses
sions today. Israel to'.d the Senate: "It
Is not a question of days spent in this
trial, but of weeks."

THE much-heralded "Polly of the Cir
cus," a play from the pen of Mar
garet Mayo, who as Miss Slatten lived In
Portland, opened a three nights' engage
ment at the Bungalow Theater last night
and afforded a large audience a delight
ful midsummer entertainment.
The plot of the play departs from con
ventional lines and unfolds the story of
a young bareback rider in a circus which
is playing in a small town. The young
woman is thrown from her horse and in
jured, and the village parsonage being
the nearest house she Is carried there
and left under the care of the minister,
who has as housekeeper and factotum a
faithful colored couple.
Upon her recovery she finds that she
has been weaned from the charm of the
sawdust ring and love has come into the
life of both herself and the minister. The
hitter's congregation being of the ex
tremely orthodox variety, they enter a
vigorous protest at her presence In the
parsonage, of which she becomes aware,
and to spare the man she loves rejoins
the circus, which a month later appears
again In the village in which she had met
with the accident. The manager had
upbraided her for her poor work since
returning and after he has announced
that she will be unable to appear, she
rushes into the ring and demands that
she be permitted to ride, which he rough
ly refuses, striking her down. At this
climax the minister rushes to her side
and the curtain falls on a situation which
leaves only the Inference that she returns
to the parsonage as the minister's wife.
The setting of the last act, showing the
dressing-room of the circus and later the
ring full of performers, riders, clowns and
"real" horses and trained animals is
realistic and works up to a dramatic
climax that arouses the audience to a
maximum degree of enthusiasm. With
the exception of Miss Ida St. Leon, who
plays the part of the circus rider and who
Incidentally comes from a circus family
that has produced several generations of
performers, the cast is not marked with
great ability, but the parts are acceptably
given. Miss St. Leon shows much ability
and her acting was such as to bring her
a number of curtain calls.
Polly of the Circus" will be enjoyed
by theatergoers after several weeks of
dark stages at the legitimate houses. The
performance will be repeated tonight
and Saturday night with a Saturday mat

Joshua H. Smith Among Victims of
Heat Wave in Salt Lake.
News was received here last night that
Joshua H. Smith, a well-known Oregon
G. A. R. man, was one of the victims
prostrated by the heat at the G. A. R.
encampment at Salt Lake City Wednes
day. Although he is now confined to a
hospital in that city, his condition is not
believed to be critical.
The victim is 68 years of age and is ac
companied by his brother Norman, two
years his senior, also a Civil War vet
eran. The brothers left Portland last
Saturday. Both have been residents of
Oregon since the close of the War of the
Rebellion. Joshua has been a Marlon
County farmer for the past 20 years,
while Norman Is a pioneer of Grcsham.
Dr. Arthur Brock, of this city. Is a son-in-law
of the stricken man.
SALEM. Or.. Aug. 12, (Special.)

111 ALASKA GOAL
Government Says Vast Area
Located by Fraud for
Rich Corporations.
DUMMIES MAKE ENTRIES
Tract of 200,000 Acres With Wide
Veins to Be Forfeited Strong
Influence Vainly Tries to
Prevent Action.
DENVER. Aug. 12. Within a month a
hearing will begin in Seattle, that. Gov
ernment officials say, will disclose proof
of gigantic frauds in connection with coal
land In Alaska. This Investigation will
be followed by similar hearings to be held
in a score of cities.
The best coal engineers and lawyers
connected with the General Land Office
have been assigned to duty in connection
with the hearings, and special agents
who have been working quietly for
months securing evidence will testify.
Dennett Orders Action.
The facts pertaining to the alleged
frauds are known to Secretary of the In
terior Ballinger and Fred Dennett. Com
missioner of the General Land Office, and
they have given the word to their sub
ordinates to proceed against persons re
sponsible for the alleged frauds. Mr.
Dennett stopped oft in Denver several
days ago on his way to the Coast and
held a lengthy conference with the chief
of the field division of the General Land
Office, with headquarters there, when in
structions were given as to the method
of procedure.
Strong Influence Resisted.
That more than 200.000 acres of rich
coal lands In Alaska, some of them hav
ing veins 65 feet in thickness, have been
filed upon by dummy entrymen procured
through agents of large corporations the
Land Office has ample evidence to prove,
according to information made public to
night. Powerful Interests, it is said, have
sought to force the Department of the
Interior through financial, political and
even social pressure to patent these
lands, a great deal of which was filed
upon more than two years ago. This
pressure was resisted, however, and
when Congress passed the law of May.
1908, providing for associations of four
or more Individuals to take up Alaska
lands to the extent of 2560 acres ior eacu
combination, the interest back of these
dummy entrymen tried to get these lands
through to patent under this law.
Ctoal Needed for Navy.
Mr. Dennett's view of the matter is
that all entries found to be fraudulent,
which, he believes, will prove to be at
least 75 per cent of the 200,000 acres re
ferred to, should be cancelled at once.
The Government's Interest lies In the
wish to have the great Alaskan coal
fields opened to supply coal for the ships
of the Navy stationed in the Pacific. It
is said that the opening of the Alaskan
deposits will' give the United States con
trol of commerce of the Pacific Ocean
by reason of Its ability to obtain fuel
from a field almost Inexhaustible.
One of the coal companies Involved In
the alleged fraud Is located In Seattle,
another In New York, and still others
in San Francisco, Omaha and Chicago.
Entrymen Mostly Dummies.
The so-called dummy entrymen' were
recruited principally from the docks of
Seattle, the mines of Butte, Mont., and
from the laboring classes of Chicago.
In many Instances, according to the
evidence in the hands of Government
Inspectors, these men never knew or
heard of each other, although they were
described In the filing papers as members
of a corporation organized for develop
ing sections of the Alaska fields. The
evidence also indicates, in many in
stances, that the name of the person
ostensibly filing upon the land was ficti
tious, and that in many cases the per
son signing the papers were paid a small
sum for doing so and knew nothing what
ever of the Import of the document to
which they were attaching their signa
tures. The Government officials say that they
have traced the authorsship of the fraud
in several caaes directly to paid repre
sentatives of corporations involved.
It Is hinted that criminal presecutlons
will be instituted.

CIRCULAR NOTE TO POWERS IS
MADE PUBLIC.
Mikado's Policy Regarding Rail
road Rights Called Unjusti
fied Aggression.
BRUSSELS. Aug. 12. The Chinese
board of foreign affairs has telegraphed
to the Chinese Legation here the text of
China's circular note to the powers dated
August 11, In which the government up
holds its attitude in the question of the
Antung-Mukden Railroad.
After pointing out that China made
many concessions to Japan, which still
tried to throw upon China the responsi
bility for the delay In beginning the
work, the note declares Japan's Interests
in the line to be entirely strateglo and In
no sense economic.
"Japan has sought unjustified aggres
sion," the note declares. "Already in
tlie question of South Manchuria she has
outlined on several occasions the terri
torial rights of China and she is trying
to secure little by little new rights not
specified In existing treaties.
'In the present case the attack on
China's rights is flagrant. China, like
Japan, now addresses herself to the
powers. She Is conscidus that she has
defended not only her own legitimate
rights hut the veritable interests of the
powers against the pretensions of Japan."
POLICE ENFORCE POLICY
Take Steps to Drive Male Parasites
From City.
Following the announcement made by
Chief of Police Cox a few days ago that
the Police Department would endeavor
to rid Portland of the male parasites
who were living off the earnings of
fallen women. Detectives Tlchnor and
Howell made four arrests last night.
Irwin Hutchlngs, 23 years old, and W.
J. Stewart, 24 years old. were taken
into custody charged with being male
consorts of disreputable women. They
were booked as vagrants at the Police
Station. In connection with their arrests
charges may be filed with the liquor
license committee of the Council against
the proprietor of the Tonopah saloon,
at Seventh and Davis streets, who the
officers say attempted to shield the
men. Lillian McCoy and May West,
19-year-old girls, were also taken Into
custody by the detectives for their illi
cit relations with these men. The police
will endeavor to have all men and wo
men brought up on this charge given a
jail sentence.
George Edwards, another man of this
class, was arrested by Sergeant Riley
and Patrolman Burks In rooms over
the saloon at First and Market streets.
D. Farrell, a negro and Addle Waster,
a negress, others of the same type, were
arrested at Park and Everett streets,
where they were found in a fight by
Patrolman Klingel.
MONTAVILLA HOME BURNS
Firemen Also Called to Blaze on
Eleventh Street.
Two fires occurred in Portland last
night One which was outside the fire
limits In Montavilla destroyed a house
and Its contents valued at 35O0. This
was at the home of Seth Lind. at 1978
East Madison street. The origin of the
blaze is unknown. The family had been
using fire in the kitchen stove while Iron
ing clothes up to about 9 o'clock. As the
first started in the kitchen it is believed
that sparks from the stove may have
fallen on the floor. The blaze started at
10:15 P. M. and the house was virtually
destroyed within a few moments. Only
a few of the household goods were saved.
None of the occupants was Injured.
A second fire occurred shortly before
midnight In the rooming-house of Mrs.
Emily P. McClemens. at 164 and 166 Elev
enth street North. The flames were dis
covered In the second floor and burned
through the roof before they could be
controlled. The firemen responded to a
telephone call and were able to put out
the flre in a few moments. The dam
ages will amount to about J2O0. This Is
the second fire in this building within
three days, starting both times In the
same part of the house. The police attach
some significance to this fact and will
make an investigation. The contents of
the house are insured for J1000.

CHANG YIN TANG IN PLACE
Retiring Minister Was Very Popular
. Here and Did This Country
Good Service During
Boxer Trouble.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 12. For the sec
ond time in hie diplomatic career Dr. Wu
Tins Fang, the Chinese Minister to the
United States, has been recalled from
the Washington mission, and has been
directed to proceed home, where it Is
expected he will be assigned to other
'or. Wu's successor will be Chang Yin
Tang, known as a progressive" -in
Chinese political affairs. He has seen
diplomatic service in India, England,
Thibet and the United States.
Popular In United States.
Dr. Wu's retirement from Washington
removes a picturesque figure from the
capital. Probably no diplomat Is better
known In the United States than he, for
he Is a popular talker and his pungent
wit and bright sallies have been heard
and read with interest at many places.
During the Boxer troubles, in 1900, Min
ister Wu, in connection with Yuan Shai
Kal, then Tao Tai of Shanghai, was suc
cessful In getting through a message to
the American Sinister, Mr. Conger, who,
with his colleagues, was In the legation
compound In Pekin, and whose fate was
a matter of great concern to the State
Department.
An answer from Mr. Conger demon
strated that he had received the mes
sage sent by the State Department and
that all was well with the legation offi
cials. It te pointed out as a peculiar
coincidence that Wu should be recalled
at this time, soon after the downfall of
Yuan Shai Kai, his friend.
America Saved Life.
Wu's sympathies manifestly were with
the United States during the Boxer
troubles, and this led to his recall. Only
an Intimation from this government that
his beheading would be offensive to the
United States, It Is believed, prevented
his summary death at the hands of the
Chinese authorities.
The new minister, Chang Yin Tang,
from April. 1898, to February, 1899, was
Consul-General - at San Francisco and
some years ago was attached to the
Chinese legation in Washington for a
short time.
