Weeks Bill Proposes Government
Shall Take Over Lands at Head
waters of Navigable Streams,
Property to Be Paid For.
BY HARRY J. BROWN.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington; April 1. Under the guise of pro
tecting the watersheds of navigable
streams, the ultra-conservatlonlsts in
Congress, otherwise known as the "Pin
chotltes," are undertaking to slip through
a bill which will extend the vast system
of forest reserves Into every state of the
Union, entail the expenditure of unestl
mated millions of dollars of Government
money, and swell the Forest Service to
proportions never dreamt of by Gifford
Pinchot, even In his palmiest days.
It Is all being done by subterfuge. In
which clever effort Is being made to con
ceal the main purpose of the legislation
In question.
Wolf In Sheep's Clothing.
The Weeks bill, recently reported by
the House committee on agriculture, is
an outgrowth of the old Appalachian for
est reserve bill. When it was demon
strated that Congress would not outright
appropriate money to buy the tops of
the Appalachian and White Mountains as
a playground for Mr. Plnchot and his
fellow faddists, the advocates of that
proposition cast about to find some way
. of evading the objections raised to tha
original Appalachian bill, and the result
of their search and connivance Is found!
In the measire In question.
It Is entitled, "A bill to enable any
Btate to co-operate with any other state
or states, or with the United States, for
the protection of the watersheds of navi
gable streams, and to appoint a commis
sion for the acquisition of lands for the
purpose of conserving the navigability of
navigable rivers.'"
Members Are Not Pooled.
It is Just such a change as was made
by the advocates of ship subsidy, when
"they changed the name of their pet meas
ure from 'subsidy" to "subvention." But
It Is a change that will not fool many
members.
One of the important factors of the
Weeks bill Is hidden away In section 4.
, This section makes an appropriation of
,-' $1,000,000 to be used Immediately, and au
fi thorlses an annual appropriation of
J2.000.000 for the next five years, this
money to be expended for "the examina
tion, survey and acquirement of lands
located on the headwaters of navigable
streams or those which are being or
which may be developed for navigable
purposes."
Korest Reserve Act Covers.
The bill creates a National Forest Re
serve Commission, consisting of the Sec
retary of Agriculture, Secretary of War.
Secretary of Interior, two Senators and
two Representatives, which commission
shall pass upon all proposed purchases
of lands, and to approve prices. The
- Secretary of Agriculture is to locate the
lauds to be acquired, and will engineer
the actual purchases, subject to the or
der of the commission. Then, down In
section 12. comes this provision:
'That the lands acquired under this
act shall be permanently reserved, held
and administered as National forest lands
under the provisions of section 24 of the
act of March 3, 1S91 (the forest reserve
act), and tha Secretary of Agriculture
may from time to time divide the lands
acquired under this act into such specillc
National forests and so designate tha
tame as be may deem best for adminis
trative purposes."
Bill Adds to Army of Clerks.
Fine! More forest reserves, meaning
more supervisors, more rangers, more
clerks, more responsibility for the heads
of the Forest Service, and consequently
larger salaries.
The bill makes a separate appropria
tion of $200,000 to enable the Secretary
of Agriculture to co-operate with any
state in the protection from fire of
the forested watersheds of navigable
streams, the states to contribute half
to the cost of this work. In another
section the Secretary of Agriculture Is
authorized "to agree to administer and
protect for a definite term of years
any private forest lands situated upon
- any watershed whereon lands may be
permanently reserved as National for
est lands, but such agreement shall
provide that the owner of such private
lands shall cut and remove the timber
thereon only under such rules and reg
ulations as will provide for the pro
tection of the forest In the aid of nav
igation." In other words. Government
money may be expended In caring for
private forests, and the owner of such
" 1 forests need not contribute a cent
T toward said administration.
Where a landowner, under this bill,
sells land to the Government, he may

Off Roof Into Officers' Hai.'
SPOKANE, Wash., April 1. (Spe
cial.) Roused from slumber late at
night by the approach of officers to
arrest ber husband, Mrs. Frank Nu
gent, wife of an order clerk at a local
store, seised a rifle and made ready to
stand off the law until the man sought
had a chance to escape.
Although her Intentions were good,
her plans went amiss, for she was
seised and disarmed before she had a
chance to fire, and her husband, drop
ping from a shed roof to the ground,
landed squarely in front of a deputy,
and is now In the County Jail.
Nugent lives near Rathdrum, which Is
40 miles from Spokane. He was wanted
on a warrant charging a serious of
fense in which a 17-year-old girl now
in custody of fche probation officers Is
concerned. Deputy Sheriffs Long and
Logan and Deputy Prosecutor Crow in
a big automobile went after him last
night. Nugent's ranch Is on the side
of a mountain six miles from the town,
and is reached only by a steep and
difficult road.
When the place was found, the fam
ily bad apparently been in bed, but
had heard the approach of the auto.
Mr. Logan, in answer to the query of
Mrs. Nugent, told bis name and busi
ness and that he wished to Interview
her husband.
She replied that she was alone and
refused to admit the officers. Then
she got a rifle and made ready for the
siege. Logan, however, admitted him
self, and seized the weapon as the
woman was raising it to her shoulder.
Meanwhile Nugent had slipped
through a second-story window to the
roof of a shed, whence he dropped to
the ground right in front of the depu
ties. A search revealed an ugly knife,
but no other weapon.
'ETNA' NOT DEAD EXPERT
Cessations of Eruptions Temporary.
Roar Drives Out Observer.
CATANIA. April 1. Expert opinion
concerning the activity of Mount Etna
is pessimistic. Frank A. Perrett, the
assistant director of the Royal Observa
tory on Mount Vesuvius, thinks the
volcano still contains a considerable
quantity of lava and a cessation of the
eruptions probably will be only tem
porary. Professor Ricco, director of the
Mount Etna Observatory, has been
forced to abandon his post after pass
ing hours of terror there. He said' to
night: "One could not stand the deafening
and horrible roar of the volcano for
more than one day. It would certainly
drive him mad."
MESSINA. April 1. Seven slight
earthquake shocks, accompanied by
subterranean rumblings and explosions,
have been 'felt here since Thursday
night. No damage has resulted.

$120,000.
The season has been remarkably pros
perous, the catch In sight being worth
5600,000.

VERDICT BROUGHT I" BY JI R Y.
"We. the Jury, And the defendant,
W. H. Moore, not guilty as charged
m the Indictment, but recommend
that he receive the most lenere cen
sure of this court for his guilty
knowledge and participation In un
lawful and dishonest acts relative to
the conduct and management of the
bank of which he was president and
a director.
W. H. Moore was acquitted yester
day afternoon.
Tacked on to the verdict of "not
guilty," however, was a rebuke from
the jury for guilty knowledge and par
ticipation In unlawful and dishonest
acts In the conduct of the Oregon Trust
& Savings Bank.
The outcome of the two weeks' trial
was a complete surprise, for the jury
had been out more than 29 hours and
the general belief prevailed that a
"hung" Jury or disagreement as to a
verdict had resulted.
Immediately following .the news of
the acquittal came the announcement
from District Attorney Cameron, that
Mr. Moore -would be tried again on
the- same issue, that of receiving a de
posit in a bank knowing it to be in
solvent, as soon as a second count on
the list of indictments pending against
him could be set for trial. The second
charge will be entered on the trial
docket of the Circuit Court as early
today as the case may be settled upon
by the District Attorney.
Five Other Indictments Pending.
There are five other indictments
against him and his co-defendants for
receiving deposits from depositors
other than Minnie Mitchell, and one of
these will be selected by the prosecut
ing officials as a basis of the renewed
attack. District Attorney Cameron
and Deputy District Attorney Fitzger
ald say they are certain they will se
cure a conviction before another jury,
with another case.
The return of the verdict was objected
to by District Attorney Cameron on the
ground that it did not conform to either
of the two forms provided for in the
statutes either "guilty" or "not guilty."
His objection was disregarded by Judge
Bronaugh, who, however, pondered over
the written verdict several minutes be
fore accepting it and permitting It to be
read aloud In court.

WHAT HE SEEMS
1
Professor Hllprecht'e Report Is Be
littled as Fabrication for Sen
sational Purposes.
BALTIMORE, Md.. April 1. (Spe
cial.) The tablet which Professor Her
man V. Hllprecht, of the University of
Pennsylvania, announced two weeks
ago that he had discovered on an ex
pedition to Palestine and which, be
alleged, upheld the biblical story of the
deluge, was denounced today at a meet
ing of the American Oriental Society
at Johns Hopkins University as a fab
rication and as an exploitation of an
archaeloglcal fraud for purely sensa
tional purposes.
This declaration was made in one of
the "latest additions to Babylonian lit
erature of the deluge," presented by
Professor George A. Barton, of Bryn
Mawr College.
Dr. Barton said that the scholarship
which Professor Hilprecht manifested
In his translation of the text of bis
tablet was hardly worthy of a first
year student in Hebrew, and with the
restorations which he made in the case
of filling in broken lines were purely
conjectural.
Professors Paul Haupt, of Johns Hop
kins, and Albert T. Clay, of Yale, up
held the arguments of Professor
Barton.

Aldrich Tariff Law; Loses.
WASHINGTON, April 1. Til at the cor.
poration tax law will be amended to
restrict the operation of its publicity
feature was virtually assured today when
the House slightly amended a provision
previously adopted by the Senate for
that purpose.
As passed by the House today, the
law provides:
"All corporation tax' returns shall be
open to Inspection only upon the order
of the President, under rules and regula
tions to be prescribed by the Secretary
of the Treasury and approved by the
President"
As previously provided by the Senate,
such corporation tax reports were to be
made public when called for by resolu
tion of the Senate or the House of Rep
resentatives or under the order of the
President when he desirea it for public
interests."
Conference to Make Report.
The Senate and House conferees soon
will meet in an effort to agree upon a
publicity amendment in which the views
of both branches will be harmonized.'
Just before the subject was disposed
of, Fitzgerald of New Tork attempted to
get a direct vote upon a motion to recom
mit the bill under consideration, with in
structions for the committee on appro
priations to report it with an amend
ment repealing the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law.
By a strict party vote of 150 to 116,
in which the insurgents lined up with
the regular Republicans, a point of
order against Mr. Fitzgerald's motion
was sustained.
Discretion Rests With President.
The amendment adopted by the
House today was introduced by Mr.
Glllett of Massachusetts. Under the
terms of his amendment, Mr. Giliett
said he thought the President would
rule that the records of corporations
of use and value to the public should
be made public. He said he thought
the majority of corporation returns
ought not to be made public, as they
should not be open to the inspection
of rival firms.
Mr. Fitzgerald, combating the Gll
lett amendment, said he was in favor
of the fullest publicity of all corpora
tion affairs and he offered an amend
ment providing simply that reports
required by the corporation tax law
"shall be open to public inspection,"
and appropriating $50,000 or more to
classify- such reports, etc.

of a whistle wire at one of the log
chutes of the Seaside Lumber & Manu

cat on the back of the prostrate boy
endeavoring to claw through his cloth

LET IT DO SOME CLIMBING
Laird of Skibo Agrees AVith Hughes
That Danger Lies in Concealing
Corruption No Advance Near
for United Steel-Workers.
PITTSBURG, April 1. (Special.)
When dictating a long statement in
tended for the people of Pittsburg to
day, Andrew Carnegie was compelled to
stop twice because of fainting spells.
He turned white and seemed on the
verge of falling. Friends say he had
become worked up to so high a pitch
over developments In PittBburg graft
that by the time he reached here be
was unstrung.
Mr. Carnegie did not feel equal to
the programme arranged for him this
afternoon. Tears ran down his cheeks
as he wrung the hand of Edward F.
Bige'iow, ex-director of public safety
and his personal friend, and begged
him to tell all about "this awful graft."
His eyes blazed and he paced up and
down the room as he learned the de
tails. He Would Pardon Others.
"Eddie, I'm ready to go to Governor
Stewart and ask him to pardon those
boys," cried Mr. Carnegie to Blgelow,.
as he pounded his fist on the table,
referring" to some of the men already
in prison for graft and bribery.
Mr. Carnegie had recovered his
spirits somewhat when he attended the.
dinner given in his honor by the mem
bers of his former staff at the Duquesne
Club. The Carnegie Veterans' Associa
tion arrang.l the banquet on the oc
casion of Mr. Carnegie's first visit to
the city in nearly four years.
John Unger, director of the research
laboratory at the Carnegie mills, spoke
on the Carnegie Company's past and
future, to which the Laird of Skibo re
sponded with entertaining reminiscences
and prophecies.
Charles M. Schwab, William P. Palmer,
Alfred A. Corey. Jr., William E. Corey,
Asor A. Hunt and others comprising a
party of 60, were present to do honor
to Mr. Carnegie.
He Wishes He Had Been Reporter.
After Mr. Carnegie had Jokingly ad
mitted he had missed the mark of his
ambition in falling to be a reporter, to
a party of men who besieged him at
the Hotel Schenley, he talked of many
topics. "
He admitted his pride In Pittsburg and
his pain in the disgrace by recent graft
exposures.
"They tell me some of these fellows
took $81.10 for their votes. My, oh, my!
If I were going to be a thief "
'But the man of millions halted his
humor there. He echoed the opinion of
Governor Hughes, of New Tork, that it
is not in the exposure, but In the con
cealment, of corruption that danger lurks.
In speaking of local personalities, he
was hearty in tributes to many old
friends, especially ex-Mayor Guthrie.
"I know him and I . know his wife.
A great deal depends on the wife of
a public man."
Lets Orchestra Climb Itself.
Pittsburg's orchestra is seeking to
perpetuate Itself with an endowment
by public subscription. When the mat
ter was spoken of Mr. Carnegie said:
"I have no more to do with the Pitts
burg orchestra than with the heavenly
choir, which I hope to hear in the
near future. I would not discourage
Pittsburg by supporting its orchestra.
I have often said you can't boost a
man up a ladder unless he does some
climbing himself.
"I give organs to churches or help
churches get organs, because I am
willing to be responsible for every
thing they say, but I could not be re
sponsible for all that is said from the
pulpit."
For the next three days Mr. Car
negie will visit his Institutions here
and on Tuesday he will leave for New
York. It was said tonight that he In
vited nearly a score of local relatives
to visit him Sunday.
No Advance in Wages Yet.
It was learned from President Corey,
of the United States Steel Corporation,
after the dinner that in his remarks to
the steel partners tonight he had de
clared the recent announcement of a
probable Increase in wages to tha alsel
men premature.
"It has not been decided upon," said
Mr. Corey, "and I cannot say It is like
ly to be for some time."
Mr. Carnegie's sentiment was
pressed at the dinner in the following
words
"My millions, without the love and
association of the veterans, would not
be worth keeping."
