Cancellation Was Necessary
Step, He Declares.
POWER SITES PROTECTED
.Head of Federal Department Asserts
Water Resources Hate Sow
Been Carefully located
and Set Aside.
OKEGOX NEWS BUREAU. Washing
ton, Nov. 7. "My cancellation of the
-withdrawal of 1.500.0CO acres by Secre
tary Garfield to protect water power sites
on the public domain, and the substi
tution therefor of a withdrawal order
withholding from settlement, location or
entry 300,000 acres was wholly promotive
not submersive of the conservation pol
icy," said Secretary Bellinger, In an au
thorised interview today.
This interview is the first official de
fense OH hia course that the Secretary of
the Interior has put forward since the
opening of the Flnchot-Ballinger row,
and expresses the sentiments of Judge
Ballinger with respect to this important
phase of the conservation policy. The
interview was. given at the behest of a
score of correspondents who sought to
set the Secretary right before the coun
try, and to correct misapprehension that
might arise from badly distorted reports
heretofore given wide publicity. ,
Step Was logical One.
"My withdrawal," continued the Sec
retary, "was the next logical step in
the prosecution of the policy of conserv
ing the wster power of the Federal do
main and one which Secretary Garfield
must have taken had he remained in
office. The first order waa a blanket
withdrawal. Issued to meet en emer
gency, and without taking time to as
certain Just where the power sites were
located.
"Intelligent prosecution of the policy
demanded that aa soon as possible there
after these sites be located and the lands
not needed to protect them be restored
to entry.
"That the Garfield withdrawal was a
tentative and emergency order Is obvious
from some of the facts connected with
It." continued the Secretary. "For ex
ample, there were a number of instances
where land 30 and 36 miles from the
streams was withdrawn under that or
der. Again, portions of the streams
'were not withdrawn at all. Take the
' case of the Owyhee Kiver. in Oregon;
. 40 miles of it was skipped entirely, while
another 30 miles, where the stream Is
almost level and no water power could
be developed, was Included.
Patented Land Included.
"Then, again, many thousands of acres
which had been patented that is, had
passed completely from the possession of
the Government were included. Tou
must see. therefore, that it would be
an unwarranted reflection on Secretary
Garfield to assume that he would not
have done precisely what I did, ascer
tain as soon as - practicable where the
power aites were actually located, and
issue a new order withdrawing them
from settlement and restoring to entry
all lands sot needed for that purpose."
"Mr. Secretary, it is asserted that you
first revoked the Garfield order about
April 7. and did not Issue your new order
until May 4. and that opportunity was
thus afforded to those who would secure
possession of the water sites to do so In
the interim. Is that correct?" was
asked. 1
Sites Are All Held.
"Tsat is only partly correct." replied
the Secretary. "The withdrawal of more
than 1.000.000 acres not needed to con
serve the power sites raised a storm of
protest. On Investigation I found that
these protests were warranted. I found,
further, that by utilising the Geological
Survey instead of the Reclamation Serv
ice, which had been employed by my
predecessor. I could secure accurate in
formation as to the location of the power
sitea On consultation with the legal
officers of my department I found that I
could make withdrawal orders retroac
tive; that Is. that could issue with
drawal orders later which would effect
ually protect any power sites within any
entries which might have been made in
the interim.
"The Reclamation Service, when called
on for Information as to the actual loca
tion of power sites, reported that it did
not possess any and recommended that
the lands withdrawn be opened to entry
without the usual notice, as the lands
had been withdrawn only a short time.
Omission of the notice is optional with
the Secretary and not a legal require
ment. The retroactive provision of the
subsequent withdrawals operated com
pletely to conserve the sites, even during
the interim. As I have said before, not
a single power site has passed out of
the possession of the government during
this administration.
Better Protection Given.
"As a mailer of fact, the withdrawals
ordered by me protected fi percent more
power sites than were conserved by. the

LOS ANGELES. Cal., Nov. 7. (Spa
ciaL) One way to solve the mother-in-
law problem: Go to court for an In
junction.
Mrs. Elsie Hupp, popular, pretty and
the center of a host of friends In so
ciety, took this action yesterday when
she filed a petition in Superior Court
for an order to restrain Mrs. Rachel
Huop. her wealthy mother-in-law,
from disposing of valuable Jewels given
her as security for notes.
At the same trme Mrs. Hupp named
Attorney George S. Hupp, her husband,
as a "conspirator" with his mother In
obtaining sher jewels. It was the first
ripple of discord that has been sug
gested In the Hupp household since the
lawyer wedded Mrs. Elsie Schenck, wife
of the former politician, after acting
as her attorney in obtaining for her a
divorce.
The restraining order was granted
yesterday morning, forestalling a pub
lic sale of the necklaces- At the same
time there was recorded a bill for ac
counting. The documents apparently
sounded an end to the romance of Mrs.
Hupp and her lawyer-husband a ro
mance that was a topic of heart inter
est at the time of their marriage after
the Scbenck separation.
TURKEY WANTS BIG NAVY
Parliament to Be Urged to Spend
$100,000,000 in Seven Years.
g
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. The Turk
ish Ministry will urge upon the Ottoman
Parliament soon after it reconvenes No

gramme providing for the expenditure
within the next seven years of J100.000,

battleships of the North Dakota type
would be constructed, together with a
number of torpedo-boat destroyers and
one hospital ship.
For the next fiscal year an appropria

will be asked. In order to carry out this
building programme It probably would be
necessary to negotiate further loans in

The decision of the Ministry is said to
be in keeping with the general attitude
of the people. Contributions to a public

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7.-Special.)-Leaving
behind him a trail of broken
hearts and worthless checks, J. B.
Mitchell, a civil engineer, with prominent
connections in Denver, who gained ready
entree into the exclusive circles of San
Francisco during his brief sojourn at tlie
St. Francis Hotel, is believed to have
fled, and a score of angry victims have
inaugurated a thorough search tor him.
With him in his flight is believed to
be a handsome woman who accompanied
him during his extravagant revels in San
Francisco. It was his infatuation for
her. according to those who have followed
his career, that caused him to desert his
wife in Tacoma six weeks ago and come
to California.
And the list of pursuing victims who
have employed detectives to locate him
will be augmented by many others In
Portland. Tacoma, Seattle and Denver,
where he la said to have successfully
"trimmed" many prominent business men
whose confidence "he had gained. His sud

he was Implicated in false affidavits in
connection with the acquisition of coal

he was employed.

borrowing large sums of money from
business men with whom he associated.
He also operated in .Portland and Seattle
in the same way, according to the de
tectives, and deserted his wife in Tacoma
after passing a number of worthless
checks.
He arrived In San Francisco six weeks
ago and lived at the St. Francis Hotel.
He became a liberal patron ot a taxi-
cab company that operates from the hotel
and gained access to a number of the
prominent clubs. Though assiduously at

who accompanied him on many occasions
during his stay In San Francisco, he also
found time to meet and pay attentions

VICTORIA,. B. C, Nov. 7. (Special.)
F. H.' Blochberger, publisher or the West
iche Canada Post, at Vancouver, may
without fear of dispute, lay claim to the
world's record for the long jump; more
over the stake was such as would Impel
anyone to put forth extreme exertion.
Herr Blochberger had no conception he
would go as far as he did when he made
his leap for life, but he had little time
to consider, as three bears were behind
him in close pursuit. His thrilling ad
venture had its scene in the Kootenay
Mountains near Rossland, where he has
several mining claims.
Necessity compelled him to visit one
of these and it was while making his
laborious way through three feet of snow
in doing so that he made the unpleasant
discovery that three bears were on his
trail. 'To escape these he determined to
glissade the track of an avalanche and
incidentally he went over what was prac
tically a precipice. After which there
was a whirling through space that .seemed
hours in length and he found himself
buried deep in accumulated snow alive
and comparatively uninjured a thousand
feet below his late pursuers.
With much difficulty he extricated him
self and after several days, during which
he was utterly lost in the wilderness and
endured Inconceivable hardships through
cold and hunger, he finally reached the
railroad line and safety. He is still con
fined to his bed in Rossland as a result
of his experience.

tonight in commenting upon the political
significance of President Taft's visit to

HOT FIGHT IS PROMISED
"Progressives" Aim to Rob Inter
state Commerce Commission of
Power and Take Sting Out
of Anti-Trust Measure.
CHICAGO. Nov. 7. (Special.) Bits of
reactionary legislation that the "stand-
pat" Republicans are likely to try to put
over next Congress are amendments to
the anti-trust law and to the acts deal
ing with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, by which these laws will be
robbed of much of their efficacy, accord
ing to Senator Albert B. Cummins, of
Iowa, "insurgent" Republican.
If the "3tand-patters" ' do attempt to
foist such legislation as th.s through Con
press there is going to be the hottest
kind of a fight by the "progressives"
which Senator Cummins thinks is the
correct term by which to designate him
self and others of his views.
He Discusses Plans.
The Senator stopped loqlr enough today
in the receipts of telegrams, telephone
messages and call congratulatory of
his Sarquette Club speech of Saturday
night to discuss what he believes are
going to be the vital matters to be
brought before Congress this Winter.
And In this view the anti-trust law and
the Interstate Commerce Commission will
hold the center of the stage.
"While I am-of the opinion that Presi
dent Taft is sincere and does not wish
reactionary measure's to pass at Wash
ington." .said Senator Cummins, "never-
theless, it la true that he is surrounded
by some extraordinary conservative- In
fluences. Those conservative influences
are most anxious to have the force taken
from the anti-trust law and the power
removed, from the. Interstate. Commerce
Commission. Legislation affecting these
two is likely to be the chief business to
come before Congress this Winter.
Taft Sends for Him.
"I am now on my way to Washing
ton, on the suggestion of President Taft,
to lay jny views on these prior to the
convening of Congress In which the views
of many mpn will be obtained and at
which varying Ideas -will be advanced. I
do not appear- in the guise of a counsellor
to the President, but he is naturally
anxious to hear what men of my attitude
think on these Important questions.
"Tne reactionary . influences in my
party are anxious -to have the word
'intent' -lipped int the anti-trust-law
in some way or another. They argue
that if It is once necessary to prove in
tent, there will never, be the slightest
chance of a successful prosecution under
the anti-trust law. Intent would be so
difficult of proof, and intent in this
connection uld be of so. elusive a
nature for lrposes of evidence, that
the placing of the -ord 'intent' in the
law would virtually make the law of
no effect.

Unknown People, Believed to Be
Four in Number, Perish in Murky
Waters of Chicago River.
CHICAGO, Nov. 7. An auto containing
several persons, believed to have been
four, whose indentity had not been
.learned at a late hour tonight, plunged
into the Chicago River tonight at Jack
son boulevard. The occupants of the
auto were drowned. No bodies have been
recovered. .
A witness reported that the bridge at
Jackson boulevard had been opened for
a steamer to pass through, and that an
auto which approached the draw at a
rapid rate struck the abutment, turned
over and fell into the water. A moment
later he saw a man and woman struggl
ing in the water, the woman clinging to
the man. She screamed for help and a
bridge tender threw out a life preserver
but both victims sank.
Dr. Adolphe Bert ling, who had stopped
in his automobile at the abutment of the
bridge when he heard the signal for the
bridge to open, saw the accident.
"I saw three persons in the water
struggling," said Dr. Bertling. 4,I am
certain that I saw two men and a woman.
The bodies that had come to Ihe surface
had drifted down the river and people
on the boat had alarmed the bridge tend
ers, but no one could save them."
POLICE FORM OLIGARCHY
Chicago Patrolmen's Union Refuses
to Be Governed by Chief.
" CHICAGO, Nov. 7. (Special.) The or
ganization known as the United Police of
Chicago, but which is more aptly dubbed
the "Policemen's Union," today at its
annual, meeting sundered all ties which
bound it to heads of the department. The
organization virtually declared its Inde
pendence by ousting from office all pres
ent officials and electing an insurgent
ticket, the members of which are avow
edly hostile to control of the union by
the Chief of Police or any of the men re
sponsible to the taxpayers for the way
the police department does, or fails to.
do. Its work.
Briefly, today's action means that here
after the Mayor and Chief cannot dis
charge or discipline any member of the
United Police without calling down the
wrath of their organization. It means
the police, will work to suit themselves,
regardless of the public or their superior
officers. It creates in Chicago a modern
Preiorian Grrd, which recognizes no
ruler but Xiose it chooses.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7. Anoyance at a
headline in a morning paper which
said: "Mrs. Stetson's -"ollowers Defy the

Controversy Still Continues.
From that position she was deposed
because of alleged "mental malprac
