SECRETARY KNOX HONORED
NAG EL IS COMING HERE
X
Aftor Secret Session With President
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Is' Detailed XortU With
Attorney-General.
BEVERJL.T, Mass., July 12. President
taft talked politics today with Senator
Crane, of Massachusetts; Attorney -General
Wickersham and Secretary Xagel,
of the Department of Commerce and
"Labor. Their conference lasted until
f after o'clock tonight.
Extreme reticence wag displayed by
everybody - and no statement other than
that the general situation was discussed
could be obtained.
Senator Crane was close to the Presi
dent in the last session of Congress and
wag a daily visitor at the White Housi
. Taft Still Hopeful.
The President was reported tonighu to
be well satisfied with general conditipns
and hopeful of reporting success fall
along the line."
It was definitely determined this at
noon that Attorney-General "Wickercyiam
will accompany Secretary Nage to
Alaska. The situation In that teratory
has given the President much copern.
Serious factional fights have ben in
progress there for several years Ex
treme bitterness has been displayed.
Each time an appointment has beei made
to a Federal office, a campaign hs been
started against the appointee. T!je fights
have been carried to Washington from
time to time. '
The delegate from Alaska, Mr Wicker
sham, who is in no way related to the
Attorney-General, is at loggerifeads with
the Administration.
The President has. found if necessary
lately to remove a number of Alaskan
officials. Several men, wlrwn he ap
pointed to succeed these, filled of con
firmation and made it necessary for the
President to resort to reces-s appoint
ments, Taft Seeks Reliable Information.
Mr. Taft wants as much first-hand in
formation as he can get on the situa
tion. - He believes, the Attorney-General
and Mr. Nage! can bring him this infor
mation. The two Cabinet officials will sail from
Vancouver on the forthcoming steamer
Albatross. They will go west through
Canada, leaving Montreal next Monday
morning. On the way back from Canada,
Secretary Nagel will stop at Seattle and
Portland. While in Alaska, Secretary
Nagel will look into the salmon fisheries
and will also investigate the lighthouse
situation.
The adiministration of affairs in Alaska
is almost wholly in the hands of the
United States attorneys and marshals of
the three divisions.
These officers are supposed to act in
harmony with the Governor In some of
the divisions, it is said, there, has been
anything but harmony. Attorney-General
"Wicket-sham is largely responsible
for the District Attorneys and Marshals,
and he is anxious to get some informa
' tion for his own guidance. The trip of
the two Cabinet officers will cover two
or three months.
JAPAN AND RUSSIA AGREE
'Continued From First Page.)
press recognition of the principle of
equal opportunity in the Far East and
a promise by the two governments not
to interfere therewith. It also recog
nized the Independence and territorial
Integrity of China-
Otlier Powers Satisfied.
Reiteration of. loyalty to these prin
ciples, taken in connection with the
general principle that two powers can
not bargain away the rights of a third
nation, such as the United States as
serted European powers were about to
do in regard to the Chinese railroad
loan, makes the new treaty unobjec
tionable, it is understood here, to either
the United States, Great Britain or
Germany. v
It is known that the British govern
ment agrees with the Government of
the United StAtes that the open door
policy Is substantially included in the
new treaty and that the policy must be
safeguarded in present and in future ar
rangements. No doubt is felt here that
the German government, which re
cently has co-operated with the United
States in the Far East, takes the same
view.
AMERICAN ATTITUDE WATCHED
German Diplomats Believe Treaty
Is Defeat for Knox.
BERLIN. July 12. (Special.) While
the German Foreign Office has refrained
from giving an official suggestion as to
its view on the new Russo-Japanese
agreement, the question has been the
subject of careful consideration. The
feeling is that the compact introduces a
new element in the arena of world di
plomacy. The attitude of the United
States is watched with special interest
for an indication of its possible effects
on the international situation.
The press here is divided, one section
urging the Foreign Office to take a firm
stand in seeking the co-operation of
America against the Russo-Japanese ex
clusion policy. Most of the other news
papers urge the government to seek
friendlier relations with Russia, which is
now free to play a more Important and
dangerous role in European affairs.
In diplomatic circles the agreement is
regarded primarily as a diplomatic defeat
lor America. It is said here that Knox'
naive proposal to manage the Manchuriaa
railroad question forced Russia and Ja
pan into each other's arms.
KNOX'S PROPOSAL COMES LATE
Terms 'Virtually Settled Kefore Sug
gestion Was Offered,
TOKIO. July 12. The terms of the
new convention between Japan and
Russia, it is said on good authority
here, were virtually settled before Sec
retary Knox submitted the proposal for
-the neutralization of the Manchurian
railroads.
American interests in no way will be
affected.
Grant! Trunk to Extend. '
BOSTON,. July 12. The Grand Trunk
Railway was today granted permission
by the Railroad Commission to build a
road from Palmer, Mass., to the Rhode
Island state line s part of its proposed
extension to Providence.

MRS. PERCY PROCTOR.
CINCINNATI, July 12. (Special.) Mrs. Percy Proctor, the young
wife of Percy Proctor, whose family control the soap company of
Proctor & Gamble, is on her way here from New York, seeking- her
husband. The couple were married in London last October, and spent
their honeymoon at Mentone, on the Riviera. Mrs. Proctor, who is Rus
sian by birth, was the wife . of the late Baron von Kleig-uss, and has
one child by her first marriage.
Mr. Proctor has begun action in Cincinnati to recover 100 shares of
Proctor & Gamble stock from a Russian lawyer named Wyckoff, in Lon
don, with whom the stock had been placed by Mrs. Proctor to sell for
her account. .
Mrs. Proctor claims that, besides giving- her this stock, Mr. Proctor
promised to give her an additional $40,000.
-TARIFF IS 0PP0SE0
Democrats of Wisconsin Open
Their State Convention.
STAND IS, "PROGRESSIVE"
Temporary Chairman Reilly Makes
Bitter Attack on Republicans, De
claring Them Responsible
for Monopolies.
MILWAUKEE, July 12. Wisconsin
Democrats gathered in state convention
today at noon to form a platform. The
work will oc-gupy two days.
"While nothing ae to the nomination of
a. state ticket was contained in. the call,
it is said a majority of the 800 delegates
will favor naming a list of candidates.
Some prefer but one ticket, while others
are said to. favor at least two candidates
for each place on the ticket.
Adolph J. Schmitz, of Milwaukee, is
mentioned as likely to head the ticket
if one is placed in nomination at the
ratification -of the primary election in
September.
Burr W. Jones, of Madison, also had
been talked of but Mr. Jones said he
was not a candidate.
Tariff to Be Assailed.
The platform, according- to the lead
ing delegates, will be along so-called
"progressive" lines. Considerable
space, it Is said, will be devoted to a
criticism of the present tariff law.
Michael K. Reilly, of Fond du Lac,
was Introduced by State Chairman
Joseph E. Davies to preside over the
convention temporarily. Mr. Reilly
said In part:
"The taxing power of the Govern
ment is being employed today and has
been employed for the last 30 years or
more through- laws enacted by the Re
publican' party for the benefit of a fa
vored few. .
'Through its tariff, the Republican
party has enabled producers to eliminate
competition, to form gigantic monopolies,
to control markets, arbitrarily to fix
prices in defiance of the law of supply
and demand, so as to compel every fire
side, every shop, every factory and every
profession to pay tribute to the favored
few.
Question Is Changed.
"We have readied such a stage in our
industrial and commercial developments
as a result of special privileges, that the
question no longer is 'Will the Govern
ment be able to control the corporation?'
but instead we have "Will the corpora
tions be able to own end control the
Government?'
"Our platform should be progressive
and not reactionary. There Is a great
contest in our land today between these
forces of reaction and the forces of prog
ress and our creed should unmistakably
place our party with these forces of
progress.
"While the various elements of the
Republican party are attempting to read
each other out of that party, let it be our
aim to keep our doorsteps swept clean and
to welcome into the home of our party
the dissatisfied in J the army of Repub
licans." The convention reassembled late this
afternoon and the announcement of the
selection of William Wolfe, of La Crosse,
as permanent chairman was made.

NOT FOE, SAYS GERMANY
(Continued From First Page.)
Nicaraguan affairs and that the re
ported offer by Madriz of a coaling
station to an . European power if it
would intervene- in Nicaragua was not
made to Germany.
GERMANY IS NOT FOR MADRIZ
Emperor William Denies Indorse
ment of Mcaraguan Intended.
BERLIN, July 12. The Foreign Office
has given the Associated Press an author
ized statement respecting the letter of
Emperor William to President Madriz of
Nicaragua. Reports have reached Berlin
that attempts are being made in America
to construe this letter as an indorse
ment by the Emperor of the Madriz
party. The statement follows:
"Madriz gave notice of his election on
undertaking the presidency to the Em
peror in the usual written form. The cus
tomary reply was prepared by the foreign
office. It was not an autograph letter,
but was simply signed by the Emperor.
The address 'great and good friend,' was
in accordance with official courtesy. No
intervention by Germany in Nicaraguan
affairs followed. Germany neither sought
nor designs to seek a coaling station.
Rumors of Germany's intention toward
the Galapagos Islands are equally with
out foundation, as are all suggestions
that the German government has in any
wlEe modified the cultivation of friendly
relations towards- the United States."
The reported offer by Madriz of a coal
ing station to a European power if it
would intervene In Nicaragua was not
made to Germany, the foreign office de
clared. The Berlin press makes' much of
attempts abroad to cast suspicion upon
Germany's Latin-American policy. Many
journals affirm that an intrigue is in
progress against German good faith.
MOVE REGARDED AS FORMAL
State Department Believes Germany
Simply Ignored Revolution.
WASHINGTON, July 12. The State
Department from the first has believed
that the communication to Dr. Madriz by
the German Foreign Office was purely
a matter of form and made without the
slightest regard to the existing conditions
in Nicaragua, of which Germany, having
relatively Insignificant commercial Inter
ests, was hardly expected by this Gov
ernment to have Intimate knowledge.
Officials of the department are said to
be unable to see any basis for the ex
ploitation of this communication by the
Madriz faction.
State Department Silent.
WASHINGTON, July 12. No statement
could be obtained this afternoon from
the State Department in regard to the
report concerning the attitude of Ger
many In regard to Nicaragua. It was
eald no communications had passed be
tween the United States and Germany.
BLUEBACK EGGS S0UJ3HT
Hatchery Superintendent Plans Ex
periment in Salmon Propagation.
VANCOUVER. Wash., July 12. (Spe
cial.) J. M. Crawford, superintendent
of the state fish hatcheries, who has
been spending- a few days at the state
hatchery on Basket Creek, is expert
menting- with salmon-hatching. He
contemplates enclosing a portion of
Greenleaf Slough, near Cascades, when
the blueback salmon are spawning
there, and holding them until the sea
son is over. If this can je done, eggs
can be secured much more easily than
under the present system.
For the hatchery here, 150,000 Lake
Chelan trout eggs have just been re
celved and when hatched the fish will
be distributed in' the streams in South
western Wash'nSton.

retary of State, and Dr. V. de la Plaza,

States are ridiculed. When the confer
ence was opened this afternoon there
was a large attendance. Great crowds
gathered around the hall to watch the
coming of the delegates.
The address of welcome was delivered
by Dr. de la Plaza, and Henry White,
ex-American Ambassador to France, re
sponded in English on behalf of all the
delegations. The delegate from Cuba
proposed Mr. White's address be trans
lated into Spanish, and this was don
by the Secretary-General, Senor Portela,
who Is the Argentine Minister at Wash
ington. Bermejo Chosen President.
The Mexican delegate, Senor Salado,

while Rodriguez Larrata, in behalf of the
Argentine delegation, proposed Henry
White for that honor. Senor Bermejo
was elected. The proposal to elect Sec
retary Knox and Dr. de la Plaza honor
ary presidents, came from the Peruvian
delegation.
The conference will remain in session
five or six weeks.
The last conference was held in Rio
de Janeiro in 1906 and was generally re
garded as a success. The present con
ference plans to adopt a series of resolu
tions framed for the actual good of thei
various states on the American continent,
subject to ratification by the govern
ments concerned, and in some quarters
the importance of this gathering is re

that Argentina, Brazil and Chile are
planning the formation of alliance, the
-object of which shall be to counterbalance
the policy and effect of the actions of the
Government of the United States, de
clares that the policy of the northern
republic does not give any reason for
such an entente. An alliance of this
kind, on the contrary, would have the.
effect of placing great restrictions on.

Medfcrd Sun to Be Republican
in Politics.
LINDLEY BRANSON EDITOR
Journalist Known as "Fighting Edi
tor of Xevada," Where He Ex
posed I.' W. Wr. and Drove It
Out of StateIssue July 16.
MEDFORD, Or., July 12. (Special.)
Medford is to have a new daily news
paper to be called the Medford Sun.
The Sun -will be a morning paper and
will issue its first number July 16. It
will be Republican in politics and its
policy will be to take no part in the
prohibition question or to mix in other
factional fights.
Since the consolidation of the two
papers here about a year ago the Re
publicans have had no representation
in the daily newspaper field, with the
result that the local Democratic paper,
alleged to be independent, has made an
effort to disruptthe Republican party
in Jackson County by continual criti
cism of President Taft and Republican
leaders and measures generally.
Though Jackson ' County is over
whelmingly Republican the party is
confronted with the fact that several
of the best offices In the county are
filled by Democrats, most of whom were
elected on the "nonpartisan" dodge.
Lindsley C. Branson is editor and
principal owner of the Medford Sun.
Mr. Branson was formerly editor and
owner of the Tonopah Sun and the
Goldfleld Sun and was for many years
connected with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
In Nevada by reason of a fight
he made against th.e I. W. W. and the
Western Federation of Miners, whip
ping both to a standstill and driving
the former entirely and the latter al
most out of the state, he gained a
National reputation as a newspaper
fighter and was thenceforth known as
"the fighting editor of Nevada." This
was the first time the I. W. W. had
shown its hand in the country and lit
tle was known of its purposes or
character. Branson lived at Tonopah
and gave his personal attention to the
management of his Tonopah newspa
per. Meanwhile at Goldfleld the men who
under the name of the I. W. W., as
an affiliation of the Western Federa
tion of Miners, had been ridden out of
Colorado on flatcars by Governor Pea
body and Sherman Bell, had forced all

the "town workers," which included
many employes from salesman to
waiter and from stenographer to dance
hall woman, into their so-called "union."
Then the organizers and walking
delegates swooped down on Tonopah
and started to repeat the operation.
Discovering the real character of the
outfit, when ail others were afraid and
trembling Branson, through his Tono
pah newspaper effectually exposed the
tactics employed. His newspapers
were promptly boycotted and many
times he and his employes were ordered

and defied them.
When his Goldfleld printers were
given 24 hours to join the I. W. W. or
leave town, Branson and two compan

the desert 28 miles to that place in an
automobile and dared over 2000 men to
