MINERS' STRIKE
TO END IN 30 DAYS
President Lewis, Mineworkers'
Leader, Optimistic; Likes
Fishing.
SAYS MEN NEED VACATION
Miners and Operators Prosperous
and Xo Coal Shortage Kxpected,
so Close of Trouble Is Pre
dicted Within Month.
ST. LOUIS, April 1. "Don't be alarmed
Dver the outcome of this afalr; don't be
e f re id we will not be able to sign up
n agreement. It will all be over within
SO days. "Anyhow, this is good fishing
weather."
This was the advice of Thomas I.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
'Workers of America, in addressing SOCK)
of the 75,000 Illinois mine workers who
Jiave quit work, at Belleville this after
noon. "It Is not work we want," he continued.
We are willing to do our part, but we
want a full and complete share of the
results of our labor and we will never
be satisfied until we get it."
In an Interview Mr. Lewis expressed
absolute confidence In the outcome of
the present suspension of work, and said
the miners will win all their demands
within 30 days in all the fields, with
the possible exception of Illinois and
Western Pennsylvania.
These latter -fields show conditions dif
ferent from those in the others and ntore
timo may be necessary.
"I want to say again, he said, "this
Is not a strike. It is just a vocation
find the miners really will enjoy it. I
lo not look for any shortage of coal nor
for any suffering among the men. The
miners throughout the country had a big
run for the last four months and hun
dreds of thousands of tons of coal in
excess of the usual output are now stored
by the operators.
"The men are prosperous and the
unions, with few exceptions, have large
reserve funds, so I fall to see where any
body will suffer by the temporary shut
down." Several of the most extensive opera
tors in the country ai ready have made
offer for a settlement, according to Mr.
Lewis, but in each Instance he has re
fused to negotiate or to permit them to
reopen their mines, even though promis
ing to pay the new wage scale from
.April 1.
"This question must be settled as a
freneral proposition, and not through in
dividual operators," he said.
CONFKUEXCK DEALS IX NEBULA
Negotiations Will Be Prolonged in
Certain Districts Men Idle.
TNOTANAPOLIS. April 1. Leaders of
the United Mine Workers and the Op
erators Associations in the bituminous
r'oa.l fields were busy today preparing
for conferences in which. It is hoped,
settlements on new wage contracts will
be reached.
Negotiations in the Southwest, in
Illinois, and In -Western Pennsylvania
will be prolonged, as some of the ope
rators maintain they cannot afford to
pay the wage Increase of five cents a
ton demanded by the miners, and other
knotty problems of mine operation are
in controversy.
Tn Iowa, Western Kentucky, Indiana,
Onto, and Central Pennsylvania the
miners and operators seemed In a fair
way to come to an agreement in a few
days. In many localities temporary ar
rangements for continuing work in the
mines were formulated.
Pending the signing of permanent
t wo-year contracts, however, between
250.000 and 300.000 miners will be idle.
Dispatches from affected districts show
that progress is being made by the
miners looking toward a favorable set
tlement of the strike. From Kansas1 City
comes word that fully 35.000 men have
quit work and that the operators fear
mine oil competition, which fact may
lead to a quick settlement of the wage
trouble with the miners.
Prom Dubois. Pa., it is seid that at
the morning session of the special con
vention of the miners of district Xo. 2,
United Mineworkers of America, it wast
decided that the action passed recently,
shutting down the mines in the central
dtftrlct pending negotiations, must be
rescinded and that work be resumed and.
continued at the discretion of the con
vention. The action was taken because
the operators charged the miners with
unfairness In closing down the mines
when no opportunity for negotiations had
been given.
News tonight from Maryland, Northern
AVest Virginia and Southern Pennsyl
vania coal mine districts, affecting about
4o.0H) unorganized men. was to the effect
that these men had secured an increase
in wages of 5 per cent. No increase had
been asked, but the operators decided to
give tho increase owing to the high cost
of living.
At Pittsburg. Kan., the miners "took a
day off," walking the streets an ddts
cuasing the strike and its probable effect.
From Alberta, announcement has been
made of the walkout of 1000 miners In the
trows Pass field to take effect tomor
row. Iowa mineworkers assert they have
won a victory in securing a temporary
agreement, but In Arkansas 14.000 miners
are idle and It appears that the struggle
will be long. The nonunionlaed mines of
Kastern Kentucky will not be affected.
There are about 10,000 men employed in
the Kentucky.
COLORADO MEN QUIT TODAY
Only & Left to Watch Mines Strike
May Be Prolonged.
DENVER. April 1. A strike of 3000
miners of the Northern Colorado fields
will be Inaugurated tomorrow. The
order for the men not to return to work
when the whistles sound in the morn
ing was given today by the officers of
District No. 13, United Mine Workers
ot America, following the refusal of
the operators to grant the compro
mise demands of approximately 5.55
per cent for day workers and an ad
vance of 4 cents a ton for pick min
ing and cents a ton for machine
mined coal.
The order to discontinue work does
not Include the 75 englnemen and
pumpmen w-ho, ar members of the or
ganization, but are permitted to re
main at their places to keep the mines
In good condition and prevent flood
ing. A prolonged strike seems rertaln,
judging from the attitude of both par
ties to the controversy.
Chicago Painters Out on Strike.
CHICAGO. April I. One thousand
painters and decorators wno demand
a wage increase of 5 cents an hour
.went oa strike bere. todav, Jtltliousa
& number of contractors signed the new
scale, it Is feared that by night 4000
men may be out. There Is also danger
of a sympathetic strike, as members
of allied trades unions have been au
thorised to quit work on all construc
tions where ths painters demands are
not recognized.
EMPRESS ASKS FOR HELP
King Menellk Alive but Wife Seeks
Protection.
BERLIN, April 1. A special to the
Ta-reblatt from Addis Abeba implies
that King Menellk was alive yesterday
when the dispatch says the State Coun
cil refused the demand of the Empress
that the people should swear to give
protection to her life and property in
the event of the monarch's death.
Paris Believes Menellk Lives.
PARIS. April 1. Although the an
nouncement was made to the world on
Wednesday that King Menellk, of
Abyssinia, was dead it now seems pos
sible the report is as false as earlier as
sertions to the same effect.
The Foreign Office today received a
dispatch from French Minister Bryce
at Addis Abeba, which was dated yes
terday, but made no mention of the
death of Menellk.
Official Italian advices from Abys
sinia even go so far as to declare that
there had been no change In the condi
tion of the monarch of late.
London Doubts Menellk Is Alive.
LONDON. April 1. Skepticism is still
expressed here regarding the recent an
nouncement from Addis Abeba that
King Menellk is dead. A dispatch from
Rome received today says that Stefanl
Agency is in receipt of ' advices from
the Abyssinian capital which insist that
there has been no change in his con
dition. CENTRAL GRANTS INCREASE

XETV YORK. April 1. The Xew Tork
Central Railroad today announced an
Increase of 7 per cent in the salaries of
all employes receiving $200 or lesa a
month on the lines east of Buffalo, ex
cepting the engineers of way and main
tenance, whose pay was recently in
creased, and the trainmen, conductors
and telegraph operator?, whose demands
are now under consideration.
The action means an approximate in
crease in the annual payroll of $2,500,000.
Erie Employes Vote on Strike.
CLEVELAND, April 1. Trainmen and
conductors employed on the Lake Erie
& Western Railroad, whose wage ad
vance demands were rejected by Gen

Peace Sought on One Kottd.
ALBANY, N. Y.. April 1. President
A. B. Garretson and W. G. Lee, of the
Brotherhoods of Conductors and Train

pose of endeavoring to bring about an

PINCH0T PLOT DETECTED
reserve to hlmslf the minerals and
merchantable timber on such lands, but
he must remove his timber or minerals
In a time to be set by the Forest Serv
ice, and after the expiration of that
time, he shall have no further right to
mine or conduct lumbering operations.
No restriction Is set upon the fixing
of this time. These are the essential
features of the bill, which Is regarded
by opponents of Pinchotism as quite
the most radical attempt ever made by
the theoretical conservationists.
Though the bill may pass the House.
It stands less show in the Senate, for
the opinion still prevails that behind
the bill are a number of wealthy land
owners who are anxious to sell to the
Government, at fancy prices, mountain
tops, cut-over lands, and gulches which
are bringing them no return, but on
which they are paying material taxes.
It is also known that the bill is- advo
cated by Easterners who own worn-out
farms in New England and along the
Appalachian Mountains. These men.
under the bill, could find a market
with the Government, where they'have
been unable to sell to individuals at
any price during recent years.
There is specific reason why the bill
is brought forward as a. measure to
aid and protect navigation. It is con
ceded that Congress has full power to
regulate and promote navigation on
navigable streams; It is questioned
whether Congress has constitutional
authority to buy lands outright for
the Forest Service. Therefore, this bill,
which ii primarily a bill to increase
the forest reserve area of the United
States, is ml&branded in the expecta
tion that it will get support it would
not receive were it launched upon its
merits.
But the bill, as stated, seemingly
stands no chance of getting through
the Senate. It is altogether too raw.

COURT POWER IS
FAVORED BY BILL
Taft Railway Measure Is Pre
. sented With Many New
Features.
ROAD REGULATIONS FIXED
House Gets Measure Reported by
Interstate Commerce Committee,
Commerce Body Being -Given
Full Authority In Agreement.
WASHINGTON, April 1. The Admlnis
tration railroad bill, stripped of many
of its original features but still provid
ing for the creation of a commerce court
and the regulation of railroad agree
ments, consolidations, securities, rates
end routes, ell as amendments1 to the in
terstate commerce law, was reported to
the House today by the Interstate Com
merce Committee:
The bill was introduced by Representa
tive Townsend. of Michigan, January 19.
The original measure was drafted -by Attorney-General
"Wickersham, who also is
sponsor for several of the amendments
made by the committee, but the meas
ure contains es amendments liberal ex
cerpts from the bill presented early in
the session by Chairman Mann, of the
committee, who?e views are not In ac
cordance with the Administration, but
who takes charge of the bill on the floor
as committee chairman, though person
ally opposed to many of its provisions.
Mr. Mann will ask the House next Mon
day to make the bill privileged, failing
which he will seek suspension of the
rules tc expedite consideration. The ma
jority report says:
"The Hepburn law of 1906 vastly im
proved the law providing for regulative
control over railroad corporations en
gaged In Interstate, or foreign commerce,
and much enlarged the scope of the au
thority conferred upon the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Experience
gained through execution of the lew
shows that some Important" matters,
which should be the subject of govern
mental control, are not now within the
scope of authority heretofore conferred
on the commission.
"The original act to regulate commerce
was exceedingly important, the Hepburn
law was of still greater importance, but
the propositions involved in the substi
tute bill reported by your committee are
of even greater importance. While they
do not Impose undue burdens on the reil
ways of the country or unduly interfere
with the power of the railway managers
for the proper operation of the roads,
yet they do confer upon the shipping
public, the investing public and the peo
ple at large benefits of tremendous
value."
Referring to the Commerce Court, cov
ered in the first three sections of the
bill, the report says it is proposed to
centralize the existing authority ancj
Jurisdiction of circuit courts in one Com
merce Court, but "without enlarging such
(Jurisdiction or authority. The present
jurisdiction of the United States courts to
set aside- Inters tete Commerce Commis
sion orders is believed, by many to be
limited to the determination of jurisdic
tional facts and to the question of con
fiscation by the taking of property with
out due compensation.
Common carriers are authorized to en
ter into agreement specifying freight
classification and passenger and freight
transportation charges, notwithstanding
existing laws, including the Sherman
anti-trust law, if a copy of the agree
ment in form and detail prescribed by
the Commission is filed with that body
within 20 days after it is made and at
least 30 days before the classification
or charges go into effect. The Commis
sion, however, is vested with full author
ity, in the matter and may suspend their
taking effect.
The minority report, striking at the
commerce court, declares "no untried,
experimental, legislation of a doubtful
constitutional character should be en
tered upon by Congress, at a time when
neither consumers, shippers nor -railroads
ask for such legislation."
The minority members, while earnest
advocates of Federal supervision of
interstate railroads, attack the bill as
pa ternalistic.
Still another set of views Is pre
sented by Messrs. Sims of Tennessee
and Russell of Texas, Democratic mem
bers of the committee ' who refuse to
sign the minority report, although In
favor of some of its features.
Mr. Richardson of Alabama, who
signed the minority report, believes the
bill leads to Government ownership of
railroads and will offer an amendment
prescribing probable physical valua
tion instead of fluctuating value of
capital stock as a basis for ascertain
ing a fair rate.

REPORT MADE IN KLAMATH
Possibilities of District for Agricul
ture Are Set Forth.
OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March 2$. The report on the
soil survey of the Klamath Reclamation
Project, Oregon, by Messrs. A. T. Sweet
and I. G- McBeth, of the Bureau of Soils,
United States Department of Agricul
ture, has recently been issued, and Is
now ready for distribution. The report
is accompanied by & soil map showing
the location and extent of the various
soil types found in the area. The fol
lowing is a summary of the report:
The Klamath area has an elevation
of over 4000 feet, consists of several
valleys separated by hills and moun
tain (the eastern outliers of the Cas
cade range), and abounds' in lakes and
marshes.
On account of its, isolation, settle
ment nas been very slow, out nas oeen
recently stimulated by the extension
of the railroad, by its selection as a
reclamation project, and by a thorough
advertising of the country.
The climate is semi-arid, and tem
perature equable, yet on account of
frosts the growing season is short.
Agriculture is comparatively unde
veloped, -but through the extension of
irrigation, the Introduction of alfalfa
and successful grain growing, general
farming- in the valleys Is rapidly tak
ing the place of exclusive stock-raising.
The country seems well suited for
this, and especially for the development
of an important dairy business, but
there is much opportunity for improve
ment by the adoption of more intensive
methods of farming and by the intro
duction of new crops, of which Can
adian field peas, sugar beets, timothy
and alfalfa for seed are among the
most important.
The soils eonsist of marsh soils and
upland soils. The upland soils, being
composed largely of disintegrated bas
alt, volcanic ash, and diatomaceous
earth, are friable, easily cultivated, and
in general productive. The marsh soils
contain a high percentage of organic
matter, and although they have been
used to only a small extent, it is be
lieved that when reclaimed they will
also prove rich and productive.
Of the upland soils the more produc
tive are the deeper, well drained, and
alkali-free sands, sandy loams, and fine
sandy loams, all of which are especially
well suited for the production of al
falfa. The water supply is abundant, and
the tendency is toward over-irrigation
with serious results following from
lack of drainage and the surface accu
mulation of alkali.
PENSION FORCED ON "VET

JUSTICE M'GALL
EXPLAINS CHECKS
Statement Satisfies Head of
New York Insurance
Department.
MONEY REPLACED LOANS
Political Friendship Accounted Suf-
ficient Kxplanation of Question
able Aspect oT Items Discovered
in Phenix Company's Books.
NEW YORK. April 1. Justice E. E
McCall of the State Supreme Court ex
plained today his financial transac
tions with V. H. Buckley, legislative
agent for the fire Insurance companies.
After the day's hearing, Justice Mc
Call met Superintendent Hotchkiss of
the State Insurance Department and
gave him a statement that satisfied
Air. Hotchkiss that political friendship
accounted sufficiently for the question
able aspect certain incidents seemed
to wear.
Earlier in the investigation evidence
was found in the books of the Phenix
Fire Insurance Company of Brooklyn
which induced Mr. Hotchkiss to say it
looked as if Justice McCall had been a
party to an attempt to deceive the in
surance department.
The statement first takes up the $35,000
check issued to Buckley, which the jus
tice indorsed with Buckley's name and
deposited in his own bank account. Buck
ley owed $37,000 to the North American
Trust Company, which he had borrowed
from the International Banking & Trust
Company. When the International was
taken over by the North American, the
loans were called.
McCall Advanced $2 731.
Mr. Buckley, according to Justice Mc
Call, induced the Phenix to loan $35,000
to him on the collateral held by the
North American Company. There was
due a balance which, with interest,
amounted to $2731. This amount Justice
McCall, who was then a practicing law
yer, advanced.
As Buckley had to leave town, he ar
ranged that Mr. McCall should receive
the $35,000 from the Phenix and take up
the loan. McCall accordingly deposited
the $35,-000 check to Buckley's order, in
his bank, drew his own check for $37,731
to the North American Company, paid
the loan and obtained the security for the
new loan of $35,000.
Justice McCall then takes up the
matter of the $13,000 check. Buckley
had borrowed $13,000 from the Phenix
on February 16, 1900, and $13,000 on
January 29, 1901, but Justice McCall
says he" had no knowledge of either of
these loans. Buckley went to htm in
December, 1900, and asked him for
$346 to pay interest due on a loan. lie
got the money. On January 14, 1901,
Buckley again went to McCall, this
time for $12,968, and again got the
money.
Connection With. Company Denied.
'My only interest in the entire sub
ject." says the justice, "was that a
friend was in need of money; I had
it, and on his request I loaned it to
him.
"On January 29, 1901, Mr. Buckley
paid me back $13,000 of both advances
by giving me a check of the Phenix
Insurance Company. 1 never In my
li fe had any connection or relation
with the Phenix Fire Insurance Com
pany." Aside from the statement of Justice
McCall, the interest of the day centered
upon Stewart Bcowne, private banker,
promoter and self-styled "devil of the
International Banking & Trust Com
pany, who proved a fluent, daring and
adroit witness.
Woodshed Lawyer Is Adroit.
Mr. Browne, who called himself a
"woodshed lawyer" that is, a lawyer
of knowledge but with no right to
practice made no attempt to conceal
that he and Justice McCall (then a
practicing lawyer) had drawn up the
