EYES OF WORLD ON RENO
Same Elemental Love of righting
Hero That Hailed Roosevelt Is

RENO, Nev., June 30.-(Spec!al.
?eary discovered the earth's axis. Tex
Rlckard located the center of the uni
verse. Roald Amundsen found the spot
where the magnetic needle stands on its
head and fixed it as somewhere north
of Canada, but Tex has proved him in
error.
It remained for a 33-year-old miner to
Semonstrate that Reno, Nev., is not only
the exact geographical focusing point
of all things terrestrial, but also the
precise magnetic center of the civilized
world. I say "civilized world" designedly,
for whether you approve or disapprove
of prizefighting, you cannot remain with
in the hospitable gates of this city for
an hour before you are brought face to
fac with the great overwhelming, ele
mental fact that mankind underneath its
veneer of civilization is primitive and
Jungle-born.
Klemental Forces at Work.
There is no gainsaying it. Tou may
' lock yourself Into a dark room or a sawdust-padded
ice-box, or In some other
manner isolate yourself from external in
fluences and by dint of calm, dispassion
ate reasoning reach the conclusion that
prizefighting is unnatural, brutal, coarse.
Inane and foolish beyond measure; and
so it would be if humanity lived in re
frigerators and the blood of polar bears
ran through its veins. But man is a
warm-blooded animal, reared in the sun
light, and he has not only an elemental
love of life but a supergrafted love of
victory and admiration of excellence. If
it were not for traits like these, his
great toes would still be thumbs and . he
would now be swinging by his tail in
the damp glades of fever-ridden tropic
swamps.
It was this spirit of individuality, this
hunger for conquect, this desire for in
dividual excellence that raised him to
. his stature and subdued the earth to the
sound of his voice. We are hero-worshipers,
every mother's son of us; per
sonal superiority is our fetich.
Roosevelt Type of Fighter.
Only yesterday we offered such a wel
come as the world has never known to a
fighter. No Roman Emperor in the great
epic days of old ever re'iewed such a
pageant of honor as Theodore Roosevelt
upon his "return from Elba." An ar
mada met him at the threshhold of his
land, uncounted thousands lined his route
of march and rent the skies with such
a crashing uproar that the jealous
heavens opened wide and Jet loose their
warring elements to drown it.
People will say that the Roosevelt
demonstration was planned to celebrate
his conquests, and this is true, in a meas
ure; but for every high-domed, bespec
tacled citizen who looked upon the, cen
tral figure of that pageant as a President,
there were 10 hoarse-voiced, blg-lunged,
sore-footed human beings who perched
upon curb and window-ledge to welcome
Teddy as a man.
Suppose William Howard Taft or John
D. Rockefeller or, Chief Justice Fuller or
Anthony Comstock had led a regiment up
San Juan Hill, had lambasted the trusts,
tied knots in the railroads, slaughtered
African rhinos and electrified Europe,
do you think New York City would have
gone ghost-dancing like a tribe of Sioux
at his return? Do you think that Demo
crats and Republicans, insurgents and So
cialists would have amalgamated into one
great brotherhood of welcome-givers
Not so that you could distinguish it.
Men of Vitality Admired.
There would have been a tugload of
isthmatic. high-hatted leading citizens
t the harbor mouth and a banquet or
two at J10 a plate; the newspapers would
have been a front page story to the
pood and the autograph hunters would
have mailed their respects. No, it was
Roosevelt we admired: it was Teddy, the
real, vital, red-blooded fighting human
being, whom we welcomed. The Anglo
Saxon loves a fighter and we knew that
our most prominent citizen was one of
that sort. He likes a battle and he will
give combat at any mark in the road.
He will swap wallops In the halls of the
Senate or the gloomy depths of an Afri
can forest, on the rostrum of England's
greatest university, or in the rope
squared ring'. He is a regular human
man and his country loves him for it.
Of all those fellows who slowly
baked their soles on Manhattan's
blistering- asphalt that day waiting for
a sight of Roosevelt, the man, the big
voiced, deep-chested, nine-tenths are
either on their way to Reno today or
-want to come, and the high-domed, be-
Visitors to World Fair Hang Fast
to Dimes, Wild West Show
Can't Make Expenses.
BRUSSELS, June 30. (Special.) Half
the American attractions at the Brus
sels Exposition are not making ex
penses, as the Belgians, French and
Germans do not easily part with their
dimes.
The "Wild West" show has been a
failure, and the English syndicate re
sponsible for it was unable to pay the
Indians, who then became greatly ex
cited. - Frank C. Oolns. who was in
charge of the redmen, appealed to
American Consul - General Ethelbert
Watts, who by prompt and energetic
action restored the confidence of the
Indians.
Numerous conferences were held at
the American Consulate by Consul
Watts, Mr. Goings. Red Shirt, Chief
White Bear and M. De Laval, legal ad
viser of the Consulate. Mr. Watts
finally decided to cable to Robert G.
Valentine, Commissioner of Indian Af
fairs in Washington, to arrange trans
portation for the Indians back to their
reservation in America. As a result 37
Indians and eight children will be sent
home at the expense of the American
Government.
JAPAN WILL ANNEX COREA
Final Step' Soon to Be Taken, Em
peror Being Submissive. '
TOKIO. June 30. There is every rea
son to believe that announcement of
the annexation of Corea by Japan is
imminent-
In accordance with the convention
recently made between Corea and
Japan, the Corean Emperor has Issued
an edict delegating to the Japanese
government the police administration
of the country. This is the first step,
and the final step will be taken when
Corea is practically under guard. The
garrisons 'are being steadily strength
ened. The mass of Coreans accept the re
ports of the approaching annexation
with indifference, but a decided spirit
of unrest and activity among the anti
Japanese element necessitates precau
tion prior to the forthcoming announce
ment. Lleutenant-General Viscount Terau-
chi, the Japanese Resident-General for
Corea, will leave for Seoul, the Corean
capital, on July 15 to confer with Em
peror Yi-Syek, of Corea, who is report
ed to be in a complaisant state of mind
in view of the ample provision which
has been made for him, his immediate
family, and other members of the roy
alty under the annexation arrange
ments.
The text of the Russo-Japanese con
vention recently made will be pub
lished soon in St. Petersburg.
STARR WAS MERELY DRUNK
Kidnaping Story From Salem Proves
to Have Been Vnfounded. "
SALEM, Or., June 30. (Special.)
That Starr, the farmer, was drunk and
fell out of a wagon; that his son, in
disgust, drove away and left him, and
that Starr then concocted the story of
the attack by two escaped convicts and
the supposed kidnaping of his son, in
order to account for his own bruises
and his sn's absence, constituted the
explanation of last night's story sent
out from here of the alleged incidents
mentioned.
The only basis for the story is that the
two convicts, Harry Brennan and John
Wolmsdorff, did escape from the Peni
tentiary last Saturday and are still at
large. The other features of the story
were in general circulation among the
farmers of the Buena Vista, neighbor
hood last night, Starr's story having
been credited generally.
SOLDIERS MUTILATE NEGRO
Brutal Assault Charged Against Two
Men in Maryland.
WASHINGTON, June 30. Through
information filed with State's Attorney
Bowie F. Waters, of Montgomery Coun
ty, Maryland, officials of the War De
partment learned today of a brutal as
sault and mutilation of a negro near
Gaithersburg, Md.. by two United States
soldiers. Mr. Waters said he will bring
the matter officially before the War De
partment. According to the information re
ceived by Mr. Waters, the negro, Henry
Stewart, was walking with two negro
girls last Sunday evening when two un
iformed men attempted to separate the
girls from Stewart. A fight followed,
which resulted in the soldiers carrying
the negro man to nearby woods, where
the further assault is said to have
taken place.

In a resume of Portland's export
trades for the 12 months ended yes
terday is found an excellent compara
tive illustration of new features in com
mercial conditions through which the
two principal commodities sent abroad,
cereals and lumber, are rapidly chang
ing places In importance with regard
to the business calculated by the num
ber of vessels clearing from the har
bor. There w;as 110,853,764 feet of lum
ber dispatched, worth $1,268,682; 5,746,-
125 bushels' of wheat, valued at 13,670,
396; 205.680 barrels of flour, appraised
at J879.199, and 445.940 bushels of bar
ley, at J313.053.
In a financial way, lumber is exceed
ing all Tecords, while cereals are show
ing a reduction in volume and value,
but that applies only to exportation
and does not indicate in the least that
the production is diminishing or the
call from abroad lessened, as there is
a greater home consumption and an ex
cessive call from California for wheat.
Wheat Used at Home.
As California has retired from the
wheat exporting circle, the solicitation
for outside help to feed her populace
has increased, until this year it has
overstepped its former magnitude and
as a natural consequence Oregon, as
her sister state, was looked to as the
principal source of supply.
Not only Is that true of grain, but
lumber has taken a' leading place in
the commerce between the two states,
and the latter is a material that has
likewise found greater favor and de
mand in foreign lands' to an extent
that has placed the output floated here
at the head of the lumber annals of
Portland.
For the season of 1909-10 there has
been floated for ports outside of the
United States a grand total of 110,-
853,764 feet, worth, as shown by at
testations on manifests, J 1,268,682.60.
In 1908-09 the exportation by measure
ment was 82,688,790 feet, which gives
the period just closed credit for an in
crease of 28,164,974 feet, or in excess
of seven cargoes carried by ordinary
tramp steamers. .In value, the 1908-09
season's shipments netted $1,043,077,
falling short of the later period by
$225,605.50.
There were 51 vessels to . clear off

Angered at Separation From Little
Ones, They Tear Through Greeley
and Scare Horse to Death.
GREELEY; Colo., June 30. Angered at
being separated from two small elephants
for which they have a great affection,
two big elephants .belonging to a circus
this morning charged wildly down the
main street in pursuit of a baker's
wagon. The driver of the wagon, after
a mad gallop, which scattered bread end
pies for blocks, escaped.
The elephants, which were chained to
gether, crashed through a fence into the
front yard of a residence, tearing up
lawn and shrubbery. They were stopped
by a. stout maple tree, on the side of
which they attempted to pass.
During the excitement a horse dropped
dead from fright.
NEW BUDGET 198,930,000
Lloyd-George Optimistic When He
Introduces Bill in Commons.
LONDON, June 30. Chancellor
David Lloyd-George had no novelties
to offer in Introducing the budget of
1910-11 in the House of Commons to
day. He took an optimistic view of
the future, despite the fact that he
had to find revenue to meet an esti
mated expenditure of 198,930,000.
The Chancellor figured a total rev
enue of 199,791,000, leaving a surplus
of 861,000.
The total expenditure includes the
deficit of 26,248,000 uncollected dur
ing the last fiscal year, owing to the
clash between the two houses, all of
which has been collected since the
belated budget' was passed. For 1910
11 the Chancellor estimated a revenue
from taxation of 142,455,000 and from
other sources 27,290,000. Adding to
this the arrears due from the fiscal
year 1909-10, he figured his total and
surplus.
The Chancellor said he felt justi
fied in estimating the stated revenue
on the assumption that the volume of
trade this year and next would be
greater than the country had ever ex
perienced. He proposed to retain the duty on
spirits unchanged and while admitting
that there had been a loss of $1,400,
000 in these duties, said the consump
tion of spirits had been decreased by
10,000,000 gallons from the figures of
the preceding year, and that the moral
gain to the state far outweighed the
loss in revenue. '
BOMBS DROP FROM AIRSHIP
Curtiss Begins Test of Utility of
Aeroplane in War.
HAMMONDSFORT, N. Y., June 30.
Glenn H. Curtlss has begun a series of
testa over Lake Keuka to determine
definitely the value of the aeroplane as
a carrier of missiles in war. On the
water of the lake a target has been
prepared corresponding in outline to
the deck of a modern Dreadnought. Fly
ing above this at various altitudes and
at different speeds, Curtiss will attempt
to hit this target by dropping weights
corresponding to bombs. The experi
ments are under the supervision of
Rear-Admiral Kimball, U. S. N., . re
tired. In the first test, which was made late
yesterday, Curtiss made only one trial,
flying at a height of about 150 feet.
His missile fell about 10 feet on the
starboard side of the target.
Further experiments were cut short
by the loosening of a propeller blade.
The trials will be continued next week.
The missiles are eight inches in length,
made of lead pipe about an inch and a
half in diameter and weighing one
pound.
Eugene Plans for Fourth.
EUGENE, Or., June 30. (Special.)

Be Surveyed.

Because of Change.
TEN STATES ARE AFFECTED
Roads Required to Advance Costs
Within 9 0 Days After Demand,
and Progress Cannot Be Made
in the Wintertime.
BY HARRY J. BROWN.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 30. More than 12,000,000
acres of land, the unsurveyed and un
patented residue of enormous grants
made In times past to various railroad
companies, will be surveyed under the
provisions of a law enacted in the
closing days of the late session of Con
gress, and as soon as surveyed will
become subject to taxation. Just how
soon these surveys can be made is
problematical, but within a year or 18
months, this great acreage, scattered
through ten states and territories, may
begin paying taxes.
The bill was recommended by Sec
retary Ballinger in his report last Fall.
It provides that any railroad corpora
tion required by law to pay the costs
of surveying, selecting or conveying
any lands granted it by Congress, shall,
within 90 days from demand of the
Secretary of the Interior, deposit in
a United States depository to the credit
of the United States a sum sufficient
to pay the cost of surveying and con
veying any part of the unsurveyed
lands of its grant.
Failure Means Forfeit. t
Any railroad company which fails
to come forward with the money called
for by the Secretary of the Interior
within the time specified shall forfeit
to the United States its unsurveyed and
unpatented land, the forfeiture to be
brought about through legal proceed
ings instituted by the Attorney-General.
All granted lands surveyed un
der this new law are declared by Con
gress to become subject to taxation
by the states and municipal authori
ties upon the completion of survey.
As this- bill passed the Senate, af
ter having gone through the House,
it carried an appropriation of $500,000,
to be available immediately for mak
these siirvevs. the cost of surveys
to be reimbursed by the railroad com
panies. The conference committee of
the House, headed by Representative
Mondell of Wyoming, refused to agree
to this item, on the ground that the
surveys- could be made as the money
was put up by the railroad companies,
or they could be made out of the gen
eral surveying fund of the Land Of
fice and be reimbursed out of the de
posits made by the railroad companies.
After some discussion, the Senate com
mittee yielded and the bill went
through making no appropriation.
Action Is Delayed.
The result of this change probably
will be to delay surveys until next sea
son, at least in a majority of cases, for
there will be little money available out
of the general survey fund to survey
railroad land grants, as that fund is to

Husband, Altlrough Expert Swim
mer, Is Unable to Rescue Wife
From Treacherous stream.
BELL-INGHAM, Wash., June 30.
(Special.) While attempting to cross
the Skagit River today Mrs. John
Jones, wife of a watchman in the Great
Northern terminals at Kockport, was
drowned in sight of her husband. They
had been married only a few months.
The two started to cross the Skagit
and were swung against a log boom
of the Hawkeye Logging Company.
The canoe, an Indian dugout, was
broken in two by the impact. Mrs.
Jones could not swim. Her husband,
while an expert swimmer, could not
reach her and she was whirled away by
the strong current.
The tragedy was one of the most
pitiful that has ever occurred at -Rock-port.
The young couple were far be
yond the hearing of any who might
have aided. Mrs. Young, according to
her husband, cried out in agonizing
tones but it was impossible to aid her.
Little is known of Mrs. Jones In
Rockport. She was married last Fall
and came came from some place In the
East. He is so prostrated by grief that
he cannot talk tonight.
As far as can be learned the pair
clung to the broken parts of the canoe,
Jones trying to reach his wife, but she
was swept away when almost within
his grasp. He says she struggled
desperately for a time, then threw up
her hands and sank. Her body has not
been recovered.
COMMITTEE HAS NO FUNDS
Gore Bribery Inquiry Can't Begin
Till December.
WASHINGTON, June 30. Members of
the Senate committee appointed Satur
day to investigate the charges made
by Senator Gore relative to Oklahoma
Indian land contracts' have discovered
that the committee will not be provided
with funds to defray the cost of in
quiry. When the inquiry resolution was
passed. Senators Hale and Hughes
stated that no appropriation was de
sired. This declaration escaped the at
tention of Senator Jones of Washington
and other members of the committee,
and" it is probable that the committee
will not take up the inquiry until Con
gress assembles in December.
The House committee appointed to
inquire into Indian affairs in Oklahoma,
however, was given broad powers and
funds to cover the cost of investiga
tion. The resolution provided that .all
expenses of the committee should be
provided out of the House contingent
fund.

BEVERLY, Mass., June 30. Asked
about a story In a morning paper to
the effect that he had urged Governor

President Taft's Summer place:
"The story Is an unqualified, ab- I

BEVERLY, Mass., June 30. For a full
minute this afternoon President Taft and
Colonel Roosevelt stood on the broad
veranda of the Evans cottage with hands
upon each other's shoulders, while de
light shone in every line of their smile
enwreathed countenances.
"Mr. President" it was Roosevelt who
spoke and there was earnest warmth in
his salutation.
"Theodore!" They patted each other
affectionately on the shoulder. They
laughed in a way that left not a single
lingering doubt as to the exuberance of
their feelings. They seemed utterly
obvious of the fact that others were pres
ent.. "It used to be 'Mr. President" and
Will,' didn't it?" the Colonel cried In his
old familiar high-pitched voice, "but now
its 'Mr. President and 'Theodore'."
Old-Time Cordiality Shown.
The two friends, meeting after IS
months separation with all the warmth
that used to characterize their associa
tion In Washington, slapped each other
again on arms and shoulders.
And so it went, throughout the after
noon. When Colonel Roosevelt was Presi
dent end Mr. Taft was Secretary of
War, the meetings of the two men In
the Executive offices at Washington were
always characterized by the same cor
diality as was shown today. White Hou.se
attaches who witnessed the greetings this
afternoon said it was Just like the old
days. There was a rapid fire of con
versation. The meeting was Informal
and the persistent prophesies that a
coolness had developed between the two
men proved false.
Colonel Revisits Lodge.
Colonel Roosevelt still was in the spirit
of the' renewed association with the Pres
ident when, after two hours and 20 min
utes spent with Mr. Tft and members
of his family, he started back to Nahant
to spend a second night with Senator
Lodge.
AS he was leaving the shaded grounds
of the President's cottage the Colonel
stopped to speak with several old news
paper friends from Washington.
"I had a most pleasant time with the
President," he exclaimed. "There Is noth
ing particular to say, is there, Cabot?"
turning to Senator Lodge.
"No, I think not," put in the Senator.
Delightful Time Enjoyed.
"We had a most delightful time and
that is all there is to it," the Colonel
added. "By George,, look at those mis
creants," he exclaimed, as several pho
tographers who had climbed on a stone
wall for a vantage point, began to click
their cameras in a. perfect fusillade of
snapshots.
"Does Beverly come up to Oyster Bayr
someone asked.
"You know I'm fond of Oyster Bay,"
Mr. Roosevelt replied, "and I don't want
to make any comparisons, but, by George.
Beverly is beautiful. This whole north
shore is perfectly lovely."
With a wave of his panama hat and a
hearty word of good-bye. he was off.
The President and Colonel Roosevelt
walked about the verandas of the cottage
for some time arm in arm. The afternoon
was warm. Their .heads were close to
gether and scarcely a minute passed that
their voices were not ringing with
laughter.
Party Always Merry.
Tea was served on the veranda. Mrs.
Taft, Senator Lodge and Secretary
Morton sat about the wicker table and
a merrier party would be difficult to
imagine. The President was plainly
affected; Colonel Roosevelt was un
feigned in his delight. Meantime-Senator
Lodge, unfailing friend and inti
mate adviser of both, looked on with
pleasure.
The ex-President met old friends at
Burgess Point. There was Rudolph.
Forster, assistant secretary of the
President, who served in similar ca
pacity under the Roosevelt Administra
tion. "By George, it is good to see you,
Rudolph. It is just bully. I must tell
