HENEY FIGURES IN CASE
- - His Aid to Glavis in Formulating
i . Charges Is Disclosed and He May
Be Discharged by Department
, of Justice Taft to Decide.
J OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, ffuh.
lngton, D. C. Nov. 9. The opinion is
; ' prevalent In Washington that President
I Taft will bo compelled to take further
6 ' cognizance of the Pinchot-Balllnger
.' . fight, in view of the renewal of attacks
toy Glavis. It Is well known and so
, . stated by Pinehot'a friends that Pin
- chot himself urged Glavis to make the
t attacks upon Ballinger and that one of
Plnchot's men was detailed to assist
him In preparing; the accusations. ,
Francis J. Hener mar also figure In
' the affair before it closes, for it Is now
. known that he. too. gave aid to Glavis
' in preparation of his attack on the
member of the Cabinet. It is expected
1 ' in some quarters that as a result of his
, . Interference. Haney wlU no longer be
employed by the Department of Jus
C tlce.
' It seems more apparent than ever
J . that the President will be unable ajnle
: ably to adjust relations between Pln-
- chot and Ballinger, and sooner or later
i '. must make a choice between them.
; STORY IS FALSE; BALLINGER
' Secretary Not Surprised by Attack
Front Xtw York Weekly.
WASHINGTON. Nov. . Secretary
Ballinger. of the Department of the In
lei lor. issued the following; statement
J . today:
"My attention has been directed to
"jthe text of an article, purporting; to
' have been written b- Mr. I R. Glavis,
J which Is to appear in Collier's Weekly,
and advance copies of which have been
furnished by that Weekly to the. press,
r . "The Glavis story Is a tissue of falsa.
hoods and Insinuations utterly unwar-
ranted In view of the facts easily ob
' talned by anybody who wants them.
'. "It Is not surprising; that a publica-
tlon which could. In pursuit of this
, same propaganda, recklessly, under
t date of October 30, reproduce a view
J appearing; on a familiar railroad folder
of the Grand River Canyon in Colorado,
as a picture of an available power site
' . which was In danger of unlawful acqul.
. sitlon on the South Platte River. 200
miles away and across the Continental
Divide, should be willing;, without the
J slightest effort to ascertain the facts.
to give wings to a story which had
heretofore been submitted to so great
and Just a man as the President of the
- I'nlted States, who. after a most care-
. ful consideration thereof. In which he
had before hlin the complete fifes of
! the General Land Office and of the Sec
retary of the Interior, relating to each
' and every one of the matters presented.
pronounced those charges without Jus
; miration.
The statement of Glavis has gained
nothing either as to Its veracity or Jus
'. tlflcatlon In the Interval since its pre-
sentation to the President; and In view
of the complete vindication, by the
President, of myself and other officers
, of the department concerned. I will
make no further statement at present."
5 Commissioner Fred Dennett, of the
General Land Office, made the following
' statement regarding the Glavis charges:
' . "The article is simply a repetition of
the charges submitted to the President.
' which the President, after examining all
; the evidence ajid the official records,
characterised as shreds of suspicion and
so disingenuous that he authorized
Glavis dismissal.
It is the same false coloring of Isolated
, portions of the record and of a series
of transactions which. In their entirety,
refute the inferences Glavis wishes
drawn from the portions published."
tion under the n?w city primary law to
fill all city offices. A vast number of can
didates, ranging from three for City
Clerk to 77 for City Councilmen. nil the
big blanket sheet ballot. For Mayor
there are seven candidates and for the
Board of Education 27.
Under the new law no party appella
tions appear upon the ballot and every
candidate for the suffrage of the people
has been named by petition. The signa
tures of but 100 persons were necessary to
put the name of a candidate upon the
ballot. Another feature of the primaries
is that the nine Councilmen of the city
are to be chosen at large instead of fjy
the ward system for the first time.
As a result of th- primaries the two
candidates receiving the highest number
of votes will make the race at the gen
eral election In December. Tills applies
to the offices of Mayor. City Attorney,
Treasurer, Auditor. Tax Collector, A
eessor and Clerk. For the s?ven places
on the Board of Education, 14 candidates
will compete in the December finals. Sim
llarlv ID men will make the race for the
nine Councilman offices.
Efforts of the voters to select a satis
factory ticket have resulted in hundreds
of combinations which have made their
appearance In the form of cards contain
lng the proper number of names for the
electors to vote. The effort to furnish the
voter with a satisfactory list has caused
a great output of these cards. One can
didate for the Council has his name on
probably a score of cards, all carrying
different combinations of candidates for
the Council, but each bearing his name
prominently near the top. He hopes to
suit the most exacting voter and also in
elude .himself In the choice.
HERMIT'S HEIRS SOUGHT
CORONER PUTS GUARD OVER
HIDDEN" TREASCRE.
Letters Only Clew to Relatives of
Henri Molboes, Lewis
County Recluse.
CENTRA 11 A, Wash.. Nov. . Spe
cial.) Charles I Stricklln, Coroner of
Lewis County, through the French con
sul at Seattle will make an effort to
And heirs to the estate of Henri Mol
boes, hermit, who was found dead Fri
day. The recluse left an estate estimated
to be worth from iM.tMM to WW con
sisting of two quarter sections of valu
able timber land, a bank account of
several hundred dollars and hidden
money.
Molboes had no relatives living In this
country, but letters found In Bis posses
sion show that he had a niece and a
nephew In France. One letter written
In 1S97 by the niece gives the address:
Mademoiselle Edina Delanse, Salles de
Gagnleres, Guard, France.
That the hermit had money burled
there Is no doubt. To prevent anyone
discovering It Coroner Stlcklln has placed
man on guard. As soon as an ad
ministrator Is appointed a search will
be made for the treasure.
POLICE CALL FOR AID
(Continued From First Pace.)
CUNNINGHAM GROUP DEFENDED
Glavis' Statement Declared False.
Claims Bona Fide.
SHATTI.E. Nov. 9. Emphatically deny
ing that any of the entries of coal lands
in Alaska made by the claimants in the
so-called Cmnlngnam group are fraudu
lent or made with Intent to deceive the
Government, H. C. Henry and C. J.
Smith, who are interested In the claims
today made answer to the statements of
the ex-field inspector contained In Col
liers' Weekly.
"Glavis" statements In some cases are
absolutely false." said Mr. Henry. "He
Is an agitator who" Is being used by
some people higher up for ulterior mo
tives of their own. to prevent the de
velopment of the Alaska coal fields and
to prevent a fair and Judicial examina
tion Into the Cunningham coal cases, to
the end that the men who have paid the
Government their good money for these
lands, and who are entitled to patents,
shall not come into the possession of
what they believe to be theirs under the
law.
"The rich character of these coal
lands," said C. J. Smith, "hod long been
a matter of public knowledge. The
claims were Wed on under the existing
laws: everything was dona open and
above board, there was no attempt at
concealment of anything, and the men
who filed on these claims are American
citizens of good record and who are enti
tled to fair and just treatment and a
square deal by the Government."
Brenn. with 40 fellow 1. W. W. workers.
was tried In the Police Court this after
noon on disorderly conduct charges.
Bernn told the court with a cynical
nile that one of his children was near
death's door, but that the cause of "free
speech" needed htm more than did his
family. The court pleaded with the
man. He Anally consented to return to
his home with the provision "that In
case he was needed to go to Jail for
the I. W. W. cause he would be called
upon." A 30-day sentence was sus
pended. Anne Arquest, Isabelle Huxtable and
Mrs. Edith Furnette, women workers In
the ranks of the I. W. W, were dis
missed with mild reproofs from the
court.
Fortv-one sullen, unkempt members
of the I. W. W. order, charged wttn ais
orderly conduct, were sentenced to 30
davs In iall today. Twenty-nine of the'
men were foreign-born and made their
pleas In broken English. The court
room was packed with J. w. w. mem
bers and their sympathizers. -
All the hot breakfasts of bacon, pota
toes, onions and bread were refused this
morning by the 60 I. w. W. street ora
tors in jail here awaiting trial. They
declare they will not eat until the oth
er prisoners are fed the same. When
the bread and water breakfast was of
fered to the 80 street speakers already
sentenced, who- have refused" to work
on the rockplle, they cursed the Jailers.
Never" was their reply when asked if
hey were ready for breakfast. They
declare they will die of starvation be-
fore they will touch the food, some
im they have touched no food since
Thursday night.
But the warm breakfasts taken to
the cell where the five leaders of the
I. W. W. await trial for conspiracy all
disappeared mysteriously. The five
men protest that they did not eat any
thing, but could not explain satisfac
torily how the plates were emptied of
potatoes and bacon. Until yesterday
they took food regularly.
Street speaking was resumed by the
members of the I. W. W. shortly before
noon, over a doxen speakers being
marched to jail. No resistance was of
fered bv the men arrested.
The Central Labor body, representing
most of the American Federation of La
bor unions In the city, has decided to ask
the Council to modify the old ordinance
which forbids all street speaking within
the fire limits. The unions favor setting
aside portions of streets where speaking
will be permitted at certain hours under
police regulations. If the Council rejects
this plan, the unions propose that vacant
ground be secured where open-air meet
ings may be held.
Some of the men In Jail who have re
fused to eat for four or five days at
reported to be becoming very weak and
in bad physical condition because of their
long fasting. Thus far. however, only
one In more than a hundred has aban
doned the starvation strike.

NEW YORK. Nov. s. The only ex
citing quotation today In the stock
market was that of the stock of the
Wells-Fargo Express Company, which
on the sale of three lots of 100 shares
each, suddenly became the center of
excited trading, and by 2 o'clock this
afternoon this stock had made the
phenomenal advance of 39 1-2 points,
standing at 514 1-2.
Few of the other stocks In the specu

Wells-Fargo. and most of the list was

secure the express stocks.
Assessments Objected To.
M.VRSHCTELD, Or., Nov. 9. (Special.)
The City Attorney and several members
of the City Council have gone to Coqullle
City to appear before the Board of Equal

Xew Measure Required Forfeiture
of Saloon License to Be Consid
ered Today Big Grist.
Mayor Simon's veto of the billboard
ordinance will be sustained by the City
Council this morning, probably by unani
mous vote. He objected to it because
it lacks such provisions as he believes
should be incorporated Into the law for
regulating billboards. He embodies in
his message to the Council concerning it
his ideas as to what should be contained
la the law to give the city control over
billboards, and Councilman Watkins has
been designated to draft a new measure,
which -will embrace these.
The question of revocation of the liquor
license of A. . F. Reams, whose place of
business Is at Russell and Delay streets,,
will also be up for action. The committee
recommended Its revocation, but not
unanimously. Judge Bennett and Clrlef
of Police Cox sent communications ask
ing for the forfeiture of the license.
Councilman Cellars had hoped to bring
his ordinance before the meeting today,
but the committee, after making amend
ments, left It without taking definite
action.
It is probable that the occupation tax
for physicians and dentists will be re
pealed today, upon recommendation of
City Auditor Barbur and members of the
license committee. A large grist of
routine business Is also up for action
today, much improvement work being included.
