THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, THURSDAY. MARCH 17, 1910. FUMES OF SMELTER IE FORESTS Wickersham Asks Injunction Against Operation Methods of Anaconda. SUIT FILED IN MONTANA Companj- Contends It Cannot Pre vent Damage Experts Satisfy Government That Assertion Is Not Well Founded. WASHINGTON, March 16. Satisfied that the present methods of operating its smelters by the Anaconda Mining Company are not only destructive of the surrounding National forests, but unnecessary, Attorney-General Wick ersham today caused a bill in equity to be filed at Helena, Mont., against the company. The bill asks for a permanent in Junction to compel the company to operate its plant at Anaconda in such l manner as to end the destruction. The company has resisted the demand of the Government that the methods of smelting be changed, and among other ontentions, has represented that it would cost millions of dollars to make the alterations. The Attorney-General, however, announces that the suit will .be pressed vigorously unless, as he .hopes, the company will co-operate to terminate existing conditions. Friendly Means Exhausted. At the Department of Justice the statement is made that the suit was not filed until every possible friendly means was exhausted. Efforts to se cure cessation of Injuries from the smelters were under way before the , close of President Roosevelt's adminis tration, and the mining companies were then notified that suits would be brought unless definite action was 'taken to stop the wholesale destruction of forests by the distribution of sul- : phurio and arsenical fumes over a wide area. Instead of attempting to remedy the . eituatlon, the companies, it is declared, represented to Mr. Roosevelt that they .ould operate their plants in no other :ianner than that in use. President Roosevelt ordered a full in vestigation and took a personal interest In the hearings. The' claims advanced ."by the Anaconda Company, it is1 declared. :were not new, but were identical with those mode in two other-'' suits under which similar injuries' were stopped; one case being by the Government against the Mountain Copper Company, in Cali .fomia. and the other by the State of :Georgia against the Duck Town (Tenn.) Company. Claims Found Baseless. In each of these cases' it wa esserfed that adverse action would mean the clos ing of mines and smelters' and the discharge- of thousands of men. Injunctions. However, were granted in, both instances, but neither mines nor smelters were closed. Instead, the companies convert ed the harmful fumes into a valuable iproduct and many additional men re ceived work. On behalf of the Montana smelters; the contention was made that they could not . convert the fumes into acid, as had been done in California and Tennessee, be cause of their wholly different character. A full investigation of this claim by leading experts has satisfied the Govern ment of the feasibility of converting the fumes at Anaconda into acid and that there are large phosphate deposits near that may be used with the acid in the manufacture of fertilizers.

DOZEN "REGULARS" HELP Question, Says Speaker, With Sar casm, is Whether He Really, Like Colossus, , Bestrides World. Pay May Be "Docked." WASHINGTON. March. 16. Although the Republican members of the House took radical measures today to prevent" repetition of yesterday's defeat at the hands ot the Democratic-Insurgent Re publican combination on the question of maintenance of an automobile for the Speaker, the allies scored another vic tory over the regulars even more decisive than that of yesterday. On an appeal from a decision by Speaker Cannon, on the question of pre cedence for a joint resolution the House voted against the Speaker, 163 to 111. In addition to the full Democratic vote and the 30 insurgents who have always stood against the Speaker, a dozen other Re publicans, heretofore regular, voted to overturn the ruling of the chair. Regulars Out of Line. Following were the 42 Republicans who voted against the Speaker: Ames, of Massachusetts; Carey. Cooper and Davidson, of Wisconsin; Davis, of Min nesota; Dawson, of Iowa; Fish, of New Tork; Gardner, of Massachusetts; Good, of Iowa; Orenna. of North Dakota; Haugben. of Iowa; Hayw, of California; Blgglna. of Connecticut; Hlmhaw, of Nebraska; Hol-llng-sworth.

Just before the taking of the vote. Speaker Cannon addressed the House at length, giving his reasons for the rul ing, and showing something of in difference as to what action the House might take. He had Just ruled that the constitu tional nature of a resolution offered by Representative Crumpacker on the coming census gave it precedence over the House rule of establishing "Cal endar Wednesday," which was one of the features of the Fitzgerald rules. Cannon Shows- Indifference. "In turning down the Speaker of the House," who had no more nor less au thority than any Speaker that has pre ceded him." commented Mr. Cannon, the real question was "whether the Speak er does, like a Colossus, bestride the world." A few minutes afterthe House con vened today. Representative Dwight. Republican whip, made a point of no quorum, and caused a call of the House, resulting In a scurrying in of members wtto were absent in committee rooms or in their offices. More than 80 arrived too late to answer to their names. It was privately announced by a prominent member of the House organ ization that hereafter a quorum must be present, and that the attendance of absent members would be compelled. There was even talk of. invoking an old rule instituted by Speaker. Crisp, docking members a day's pay whenever they failed to respond to roll call. Whatever steps might be necessary in the future, it was stated that the Re-- GANNON RULING GAIN OVERTURNED sjpubllcan leaders intend to see that the AGAIN IN COURT. full regular Republican strength is available at all times to oppose the Democrats and insurgents.

Representatives of the Ameri can Bankers' Association, which or ganization embodies the principal op position to the bill, appeared and stated their objections to the postal savings banks. It is expected the hearings will occupy some time. E. R. Guerney, vice-president of the F'lrst National Bank of Fremont. Neb., and a member of the executive council of the Bankers' Association, said that the establishment of postal savings banks in Nebraska would cause with drawals of large amounts of money from the banks of that state, seriously upsetting business.

BUILDING SITE BOUGHT $50,000 PAID FOR QUARTER OX EAST FIRST. John S. Beal and L. F. Weaver Will Erect Warehouse on Lots Sold at Profit by Ralph W. Hoyt. Aa a site for a line sbc-story concrete and brick warehouse and retail store building, John S. BeaU. president of Beall & Company, and, L. F. Weaver, local manager of the Studebaker Company, have purchased from Ralph W. Hoyt a quarter block at the southwest corner of East First and East Morrison streets for $50,000. The sale was negotiated through the agency of Mall & Von Bor stel. The property is vacant but is consid ered an ideal warehouse location. It has trackage on Bast First street from the Southern Pacific tracks and is Just across Morrison street from the new East Side 6outhern Pacific depot. This is part of a half block purchased by Mr.-Hoyt five years ago for $35,000. Two and one-half years ago he sold the quarter block at East First and East Yamhill streets to Fred H. Page for $15,000. The sale yes terday shows the great increase in value of the property in the last few years. The profit was made on an investment of but $10,000. a mortgage being taken by the former owner for the balance of the purchase price. The new owners will this Summer erect a six-story brick and concrete warehouse and retail store building. . The entire upper part of the building will be de voted to wholesale purposes with en trances on East First street, while the Morrison-street frontage on the first floor will be given over to small retail stores, the traffic over the Morrison street bridge making this especially de sirable for retail purposes. The cost of the building is estimated at $75,000. It was the plan of the owners to start building at once but Mr. Weaver has just been called East on account of the illness of his mother, and the final de tails have now been deferred until his return.

GOAL LAW ABSURD, SAYS BALLINGER Mining Cannot Be Financed on Small Tracts Is Declara tion in Speech. EVASION IS NOW INVITED Country Not Through With Work of Development Speedy Survey and Classification Are Needs of the Public Domain. ST. PAUL. March 16. Addressing the Minnesota Conservation and Agricultural Congress at Its opening session here to day, Secretary Bellinger said that, al though he was as ardent an advocate of wise conservation as the most radical, conservation must be wise to appeal to him. The Secretary declared that the pres ent conservation laws were absurd in many respects, and that their absurdity invited frauds. Coal mining could not be financed under ordinary conditions, he declared, when holdings were limited to 640 acres. He urged the speedy survey and classification of all' available areas, and said that it should not be forgotten that the development period of the coun try had not passed. Archbishop Ireland presided at the open ing session today. The convention will be in session four days. Doctrinaire Figures Wrong. Secretary Ballinger declared himself out of sympathy with those radicals who fear that all natural resources are being used up without any con sideration for future generations. He said that, while "the doctrinaires figure that the coal deposits of the United States and Alaska will be exhausted in a period of about 100 years, the fact is that, according to the production of coal in the United States at the close of 1908, only .4 of 1 per cent of the original supply of coal had been ex hausted,' leaving as the apparent sup ply still available 99.6 per cent of the original supply, or coal enough to last, as some claim, for a period of 7000 years." "After long indifference on the part of the people as to the public domain," he declared, "a deep concern has sud denly arisen respecting the remnant of the National estate, with a wholly ex aggerated notion of what should be done with It by the Government. There is much talk about the conservation of our National resources and nebulous theories that sound good to the ear, but are impossible of practical application to existing conditions, are advanced. Between the hysteria that exists on the one side and the tendency to despoil the public domain on the other, we will, it is hoped, be able to find the true pol icy of the Government." States Must Pass Laws. He expressed the opinion that "a great er obligation rests upon the states than upon the general Government to inaugu rate laws to prevent waste in the utiliza tion of National resources." "But we must not forget," he asserted, "that we are not through with the policy of development, of building up new com munities and settlements, even in far-oit Alaska. We have not reached that period where we can say the remainder of our public lands shall be auctioned off to the highest bidder to increase the revenues of the National Treasury. They must still be used an Inducements to increase thrifty settlements and provide new homes to landless settlers and to promote commerce and industrial pursuits In the most remote regions of the West. "What the public domain needs today is a speedy survey of all available areas for settlement, and adequate and scientific classification of the remainder of the pub lic lands and such leglslatidn as will en able a determination of all private en tries and rights in the interest of the bona fide claimant without unreasonable delay and, above all, protection agains't the monopolization or waste of our nat ural resources." Laws Invite Frauds. Mr. Ballinger declared that the present laws and methods of disposal of deposits of coal, phosphates, oil and natural gas are utterly impracticable, both from the standpoint of the locator or that of the Government, "and no adequate method exists." he added, "for controlling or su pervising hydro-electric power produced from power plants installed on Govern ment waterpower sites. No man or set of men can comply with the present law and finance a coal mine on the public domain on 640 acres of land except under ex tremely favorable conditions. The ab surdity of the law in Itself Invites f raud and indirect methods of evading its pro visions. It ie hoped Congress will fur nish the Interior Department with the necessary machinery to guard safely and properly the public interests In their ulti mate disposition." "The Insurgent movement is something like a fantasy and the Balllnger-Pinchot hearing is of less importance in the East than in the West," said Mr. Ballinger In an interview. "When you are riding on the plains, a cow on the horizon looks 40 feet high, but when you come up to it. It's only an ordinary cow," he said. Speaking fur ther of the investigation of the Glavis charges, Mr. Ballinger said: "So far nothing has been brought to light but suspicions. Innuendo and in timations. These I will dispel as soon aB my evidence is in." GIRL STEPMOTHER BLAMED (Continued From First Pace1.) tion of an estate of $100,000 left by her mother, who had inherited it from Mrs. Brunswick's grandmother. Father Marries Young Girl. In explanation of how this estate had been kept out of the hands of his wife, Brunswick alleges that Buchanan, his wife's father, after Mrs. Buchanan had" died, had been unduly Influenced to marry Bertha Brower, a girl still in her teens, although Buchanan was more than 50 years old. This young woman and her mother, Brunswick al leges, gained complete control over Buchanan, and prevented him from caring for his daughter. By the terms of an agreement entered into between him and his wife, Bruns wick alleges, he was to get half of the money his wife received from her mother's estate, in case the legal fight he began for her in California proved successful. Close upon the commencement of this legal fight for his wife's money, Bruns wick asserts, Mrs. Brunswick's father, influenced by his young wife, who ac companied him, went from Portland to Oakland, and without the knowledge of Brunswick, Induced his wife to go with them to a hotel, where they got her Intoxicated. While his wife was in that condition, declares Brunswick, her stepmother secured from her a znort- V gage on her claim on her mother's es tate. The mortgage was supposed to be for $3400. Big JK state Bequeathed. At that time. In 1907, Buchanan and his young wife were living in Portland. In the next year Buchanan died, leav ing his property to his wife and his two daughters, Mrs. J. A. Scott and Mrs. Brunswick. Mrs. Brunswick's share of the estate, eadd to be between $300,000 and $400,000, was but the income from $30,000, which, after Mrs. Brunswick's death, would revert to her younger sister, Mrs. Scott. Mrs. Brunswick was not' satisfied with the amount of 'money left to her by her father, and an agreement was entered into between her and Brunswick to sue for a large share of the estate. This, Brunswick alleges, prompted the young step-mother of his wife to com mence to alienate his wife's affections. To succeed in this, he alleges, she gained the aid of Mrs. Scott and haired Viola Abell, who gained the confidence of Mrs. Brunswick and induced her to leave her husband. In September of last year, Brunswick declares, his wife began di vorce proceedings, but he managed to obtain a reconciliation. Since November and until his wife began her second di vorce suit, they lived together happily. The pending suit for divorce, Brunswick says, came as e, surprise to him, and he blames it all on Mrs. Buchanan and the women he alleges she employed to alien ate his wife from him. Viola Abell. says . Brunswick, while Mrs. Brunswick was estranged from him, lived constantly with her to prevent her getting in friendly communication with Brunswick. It is also alleged that the Abell woman had induced Mrs. Bruns wick to give her valuable presents, and that after his reconciliation with his wife, Mrs. Brunswick asked him to start proceedings to compel return of the gifts. Mrs. Brunswick's father built the Bu chanan building, on Washington street, between Fourth and Fifth streets, ad joining the Swetland 'building, and was owner of other considerable property, much of which was brought to him by marriage. PAULHAN CASE ARGUED PERMANENT IXJCNCTIOX AP PLICATION UP. Ed-wln Cleary Would Bar Aviator From Taking Slachines Abroad. $24,000 His Monthly Pay. NEW TORK, March 16. Arguments on the application of Edwin Cleary, busi ness manager of Louis Paulhan, the FTench aviator, for a permanent injunc tion restraining Paulhan from taking his four aeroplanes out of the country, were heard today before Supreme Court Justice Newburger. Frederick H. Vanzandt. Mr. Cleary' s at torney, said that by the terms of Cleary's contract with Paulhan, the aviator was to receive $34,000 a month for giving aeroplane exhibitions in this country. Paulhan stopped his flights on account of the injunction obtained by the Wright torothers, restraining him from giving exhibitions. An arrangement was made whereby the Wright brothers would be reimbursed if they won their suit, but despite this fact, Paulhan after giving two exhibitions at Jamaica said he was going back to France.
