Now that aettlements pave been made by Individuals and com. tanies with the Illinois Central, where by It haa recovered a large portion of the money, and protected Its stock holders, the conspirators are said to be In the utmost danger of Indictment. Attorney William Barry, representing the estate of Ira U. Rawn. declared to day that he did not believe the Illinois Central officials wou3 sue the estate for any portion of the money the com pany asserts to be lost through the car repair frauds. He also intimated that before long a counter move would be made by the Rawn Interests provided the "bombardment" was kept up. "I do not believe. said he, "that they Intend to make any arrests or do any thing else In the case except to set tle the remaining lawsuits and in the meantime to continue to sling mud. When the time comes, which will be soon If my guess 'be correct, we will have something to say and something to do. Negotiations are well under way. I assure you. for the settlement of the rase against the Ostermann Manufac turing Company and the other cases nd when that Is done the matter will be dropped, I am quite aure. "Regarding the Memphis decree of court I ran say nothing further than to remark that It Is very easy for law yers to sit down together and agree that some one else than their clients la guilty. Such decrees of court are getting altogether too frequent and it Das become one of tha grave Injustices of our much boasted Jurisprudence. The practice haa grown up In the courts to permit lawyers to agree to moat any thing and put It Into a decree of court. FADDISTS ARE OPPOSED ORUCJOX TO HAVE DELEGATE AT GOVERNOR'S CONFEREXCE.

Timber owners. Forest Service officers and members of the western forestry mA rvinaairvatlon Society wer yesterday idertna? a reauest to the Secretary of War for the Immediate distribution of a large force of soldiers tbrougn tne moun tains for Datrol duty. The request Is be lieved to be Justified by reaaon of the dangerous situation confronting the en tire state because of continued dry weather. If the men can be secured It la argued that they will be able to reach the timber flrea before they have become unmanageable, and In that way probable loss of life, des traction of farm Improvements and great timber losses may be prevented before the rains come.

He wants the troops at once. The fire haa burned over three townships, and may cause the de struction of a number of banda of sheep now grazing in that district. Sheep owners have been notified to send men to aid Ihe fire brigade. Back-firing la being resorted to in that vicinity. In Eastern Oregon the- situation con tinues extremely dangerous. The ground cover In the timbered areas is so dry that fire runs through it with the great est of speed. One new fire wss reported yesterday from Stanley Point, east of Mount Hood and another on Defiance Mountain, which haa been burning for two days. Both are said to nave been started by berryplckers dropping cigarettes. The Stanley-Smith Lumber Company haa dis continued operations and sent its crew of men to the scene. On the west slope of the Cascade Range there are no destructive flrea re ported. This condition of affairs la at tributed to the efficient patrol system adopted by the members of the Forest Service and the Western Conservation Society. The latter has J 00 men In the field, and thesa are reaching the flrea be fore they secure sufficient headway to be considered dangroua. -There Is very little prospect of a let up In the number of flrea until the rains come.- announced Associate District For ester Cecil yesterday- "'w have stopped probably (04 fires through our patrols, but some of them get away m aplte of all we can do.

The residents of the vicinity have moved their personal effects and tied for safety. Several tons of dynamite that has been stored there for assist ing In log-road building, were removed before the fire reached it. This has been the longest dry spell In the history of this section since records have been Kept, and tne wa ter Commission has ordered that the sprinkling of lawns stop.

PEOPLE MUST PAY MORE Ryan, Guggenheim and "Whitney Are In Deal to Control Crude Robber Output, Is Charge In Speech at Milwaukee. MILWAUKEE. Aug. 12. Senator Joseph U Brlstow, of Kansas, replied tonight to Senstor Aldrich's letter de fending his action with reference to the rubber schedule in the tariff law. Sen ator Brlstow declared that Aldrlch did profit by the increased price of rubber, that the companies in which he was in terested soght to control the world's market, and that the organization of subsidiaries was part of a plan of monopoly similar to that under which Standard Oil first became active. "Mr. Id rich declared." said Senator Brlstow, "that the Inter-Continental Rubber Company ia not the trust and at the same time admits that it is a holding company that controls enor mous subsidiary companies that were organized for the purpose of handling the crude rubber business in various parts of the world. Price to Consumer Advanced. "He says that neither he nor his fam ily have profited directly or indirectly by the tariff on manufactured rubber; yet he admits that h is producing mil lions of pounds of crude rubber per annum, selling It to American manu facturers, and he increased the duty on their products when they did not need It for protection and when they already had control of the American market and were exporting manufactured rub ber; that Is, he increased duties en abling the manufacturers to advance the price to the American consumers, and admits that they did advance tho price, yet he says that neither he nor his family have profited directly or in directly. "He admits that dividends had not been paid before the consolidations of the various companies into one, and that after the consolidation enormous dividends were paid, as stated In my speech. "In my speech at Winfleld, Kan., on July 8. I criticised the lead and lead products, cotton cloth and woolen schedules, especially referring to duties on cotton cloths and manufactured rubber. I declared that the duties on these various commodities were fixed not in the Interest of the people but of certain trusts, combinations and specu lators. Subsidiaries Formed First. "I stated that the Continental Rub ber Company was organized under the laws of New Jersey, January 29, 1903; that the Continental Rubber Company of America was organized under the laws of New Jersey January 6, 1906, and that the Inter-Continental Rubber Company was organized under the laws of New Jersey December 6, 190. Now Mr. Aldrlch says that the first two companies named were subsidiary com panies of the Inter-Continental Rubber Company and that they were organized for the sake of convenience. How could they be subsidiary companies of the Inter-Continental Rubber Com pany and organized for Its convenience when both of them were organized be fore it was? Senator Brlstow reviewed the sweeping powers conferred by the. charter of the Consolidated fnter-Contlnental Rubber Company, and added: "I stated that this Inter-Continental Company, after these mergers were com pleted, which was on December 18, 1909, had, within three months and four days. paid on the preferred stocks and divi dends aggregating 18.2 per cent. This Mr. Aldrlch in substance admits. ' Rubber Production Admitted. "I stated that the Inter-Continental Company owned the capital stock of five other companies, in addition to those ab sorbed by the mergers referred to.' and that, through some of these companies, it owned several million acres of land In Mexico and was producing from its factories from 800,000 to 1400.000 pounds of crude rubber per month. This Mr. Ald rlch admits In his statements. "I stated also that the Inter-Continental Rubber Company owned a con trolling interest tn the capital stock of the American Congo Company, organized through the concessions given by the Belgian government, and it controlled under this concession two and one-half million acres of land on the Congo In Africa. This Mr. Aldrlch neither affirms nor denies, but he knows It is true. "I stated that since the tariff bill passed, and since the absorbing of these other companies by the Inter Continental Rubber Company, the price of manufactured rubber has advanced to the people .of - tne United States about 25 per cent. This Mr. Aldrlch admits Ambition to' Control Charged. "He denies that he or his family have any interest in any concern manu facturing rubber, or that the Inter-Continental Rubber Company controls the price of crude rubber. Mr. Aldrlch knows that the Guggenhelms, Thomas F. Ryan, H. P. Whitney and himself are the controlling Influences in this Inter-Contlnental Rubber Company, and under Its charter It is empoweredj earth except preaching the gospel and that by the controlling of the supply of crude rubber, every manufacturing concern In America would be absolute ly under Its control. - "The organization of this holding company Is a developing process in the organization of the rubber business just as Rockefeller organized the oil business, Ryan the tobacco business, and the Guggenhelms the lead and smelting business.
