Tha order and Judgment of th I'nlted State Lls trlct Court for th northern district of California, convicting Dr. U. W. Dwln ecll and John GUpIn of subornation of perjury In connection with th fraudu lent entry ot Government land, was re versed today by th Cnited iatea Cir cuit Court of Appeal for th Ninth IM.tr ki. Th court held that th lower tri bunal erred In admitting testimony concerning th relinquishment ot th cialma subsequent to th signing of th patenta for th land. the proposed poP"'ar election amendment to the Constitution. Lodge opposed the amendment as a whole, declaring that It struck at th very foundation of th National Government. The Senator denounced as a "mock ery" th "pretense"" that th proposed legislation was progression. Not only waa It a mockery, but It was "retro g're.slon and reaction of an extreme kind." "If adopted." he went on, "It would carry the Government back to the con troversies and struggles out of which the constitution was born and which beset and endangered the Infancy of the fnlted States." Enlarging upon the danger of the proposod change, Mr. Lodge, said: "Self-jreservation Is the first law of governments, as It Is of nature, and It seems to me that no matter how we may decl.Je the question of methods by which Senators should be elected, the reservation of the power of the Cnited States to control those elections. If need be. Is essential to the Govern ment's safe and continued existence. Any attempt of this sort to break down or weaken the authority of tha I'nlted States oURht to be resisted to the last. .The. Massachusetts Senator reiterated hla opposition to the election of Sena tors by the people and contended for the maintenance of the Const'tutlon In its Integrity. "It has,' he said, "shown Itself ca pable of adaptation to present de mands, as It has adapted Itself to those of the past, and I have hoped and be lieved that the new policies and the necessary reforms which the people -de- I sire could all be brought about, as they hitherto have been accomplished, tinder th constitution. liut new prophets have arisen who are not content with the reforms which hsve been and which will be effected by law and they de mand that the constitution Itself shall be changed. Its success In the past, which haa challenged the admiration of th world. Is not to be considered as any plea In Its behalf." Incidentally, the speaker paid his re spects to the portion of the Arltona constitution providing for the recall of judges, which he pronounced a flagrant Interference with the liberty or the bench.

The Governor today announced that he would appoint State Treasurer W. R. Williams as the new superin tendent of banks for California to suc ceed Alden Anderson. The appointment Is In line with the announced purpose of the administra tion to oust the man who ran for Gov ernor against the present Incumbent. It was given, out immediately follow ing the Executive's return from San Francisco, where he went to attend the list birthday of his son. Jack. The special bill framed to reorganize the state . banking department passed expressly to provide a legal means to oust Anderson, was signed at 10 o'clock by Governor Johnson, who immediately gave out the appointment of Williams. The Governor accompanied the appoint ment with a laudation of the State Treasurer. The new Job pays 110.000 a year. Williams as Treasurer has been getting $5000. Johnson's movement to secure the Jobs of Alden Anderson and other ap pointees of Governor Gillett began Im mediately after his Inauguration. He declared Gllletfs appointments Illegal. He said Anderson might have been ousted by recourse to the courts, but that this method was not suited to the dlxnlty of his position. So a bill was put through .making- the tenure of office of superintendent of banks at the pleasure of the Governor Instead of for four years. Another bill, now pending-, provides for the consolidation of the Building and loan commission with the state bunking department. This would have the effect of abolishing the two com mlsslonershlps which are held by Jacob Transue and Charles F. Curry, ex-Secretary of state, both appointed by Governor Gillett. These two commls slonershlps pay $30oo a year each. Williams Is 41 yeara old, comes from Fresno County, and was born In Gold Hill, Nev. He waa In the drug busi ness for a time and later necame an accountant. From 1S9S to 1S98 he was Deputy County Clerk of Fresno County, and from 159S to I9u7 was associated with the California- Raisin-Growers' Association. GREEKS FIGHT YANKEES Trouble Starts When Complaint Is Made That Discrimination In Faror of Americans Is Shown In Weighing. SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. . An armed uprising of Greek coal miners at Kenil worth. Carbon County. Utah, was sup pressed today after eight men had been killed, one man mortally wounded and several others slightly hurt by flying bullets. Tonight the rioters, nearly 200 In num ber, are roaming through the hills In scattered bands, with Helper station, on the P.lo Granae, as their objective. Posses numbering altogether about 300 men are chasing the Greeks to prevent their escape on the railroad. As the latter are armed, further fighting is expected. Kenilworth "Model'' Town. Kenilworth la a "model" industrial town 125 miles southeast of Salt Lake City, owned by the Kenilworth Coal & Coko Company. The trouble there be gan last Friday, when the Greek miners complained that discrimination was shown In the weighing of coal in favor of Americans. Early this morning the Greeks took to the foothills around town and com menced a desultory fire upon the Amer icans who w.ere going to work. In at tempting to dislodge the sharpshooters. Deputy Sheriff Thomas Jackson was shot and killed and another deputy fatally wounded. The firing continued until afternoon. By that time Sheriff Kelter had organ ized a force of 30 men and made an at tack on the ambushed strikers. When one had been mortally wounded and five others captured the rest took to flight. Sheriff's Force Increased. In the meantime the Sheriff increased his force by arming the Americans in that part of the county and by sending to the Sheriff of Salt Lake County and i ne. chief of tile Salt Lake police for aid Thirty officers left this city on a special train in response to the appeal and reached Kenilworth at- 7 o'clock this evening. As only a part of the Insurrectionary force has guns and the entire band is outnumbered, it is thought that the Greeks will try to get out of the district to avoid arrest. HILLMAN'S TRIAL BEGINS Millionaire Real Estate Man Used Mall to Defraud,1 Charged.'1'-" SEATTLE. Feb. . The trial of mil lionaire Clarence I). Hlllman. the real estate promoter, charged with using the mails to defraud, was begun in the United states Court today. United States Attorney Todd, outlining the Governments case, said Tie would prove that Hlllman laid out the town- sites of Boston Harbor and Birmingham, advertised that the land was suitable for factories and chicken ranches, advertised for workmen to be employed In the pro spective towns, and that after persons of small .means had made first payments on land, Hlllman, using the name of F. A. Anderson and the Western Con densed Milk & Canning Company, sent decoy letters to the purchasers, urging them to continue their payments and to buy more land. Todd alleged that Hlllman advertised factories, railroads and trolley lines at Birmingham that never existed, and that he rented a postoffice box under the name of C. H. Spencer. Birmingham Is In Sno homlsh County, eight miles from a rail road, and Boston Harbor Is in Thurston County, far from any regular railroad or steamship line. Witnesses for the Government testi fied that although several frame busi ness and residence buildings had been erected at Birmingham and Boston Harbor, most of them were unoccupied. John Miller, a real estate expert, said that the land at Boston Harbor was of little value as agricultural land and that only part of that included in the Birmingham proposition was valuable. He said that the land could not be con sidered from any other standpoint than that of agricultural, as the two town- sites were without transportation or Industry to give It value as such.

BULLETIN No. 24-D (Continued) The Public Side of Street Railroading By PATRICK CALHOUN President United Railroads of San Francisco San Francitco, Ca'. There are two methods by which corporate Interest can be pro tected. One Is by their officers and officials apparently abstaining from politics, apparently devoting themselves entirely to business, claiming to be business men, and not politicians, and making secret deals with those politician's who will give them protection. This has been in some degree the method of the past, and this has been unquestionably a cause of political corruption. The corporation without a Just public opinion upon which to rely has found itself without any defender ex cept the corrupt politician, whether under the name of reform or ma chine, who has demanded his price for his protection. The other method is for the corporate manager to defy boldly the politician, high or low, who undertakes to drive him from a participa tion In public affairs: to refuse to be blackmailed, to refuse to buy political protection through campaign contributions, to put his trust in the plain people of the country and, willingly, boldly and fearlessly lay his case or his needs before them. I advocate absolutely clean political methods bold, fearless, coura geous methods and the establishment in every community by the men who manage corporations of a reputation for fearless political cour age, until they secure a leadership In civic affairs, recognized to be disinterested and for the public good. I advocate a campaign of education, the widest publicity of the af fairs of public service corporations, freedom from entangling political alliances, the sternest Integrity In the administration of both the pri vate and-public side of corporate management and the passage of such laws as are necessary to establish nonpartisan tribunals of a Judicial rather than a political character, with power to grant franchises and regulate public service 'corporations. One of the causes of political distrust of the corporation today Is that corporate managers have sometimes professed to be out of poll tics, while they have had secret deals with the demagogue, who has been proclaiming his desire to keep the railroad out of politics. I have in mind the picture' of a scene that Recurred in the office of the Governor of one of our states. He was In discussion, friendly and cordial, with the general counsel of a railroad. While this discussion was going on some of his farmer constituents appeared at the door of tho executive office. The back- of the railroad counsel was to the door, the Governor faced it. He saw his constituents, immediately raised his voice and said, wltho.ut pertinency to what was then transpiring, "I tell you, -Ir, I will not allow myself to be dictated to and controlled by the hireling of any corporation," and launched into a tirade against railroads. His constituents paid their visit and left, when the Governor apologized for the abrupt change in his manner by the statement that It would never do for him to 'be found in friendly conversation by1 his country constituents with a corporation lawyer. These facts are calculated to make cynics of railroad managers, and distrustful and suspicious voters. I am an opponent of corruption, a contemner of hypocrisy and an advocate of tbe widest publicity. Why should we leave the field of publicity to the muckraker and the dema gogue? The- people in the erid are the arbiters of our destinies; the great bulk of them are honest, upright, sincere, truthful; they hate a liar, and if the demagogue lies and gets off with his lies, it is because he Is nejt exposed, and the public is not convinced of his malevolence and untruthfulness they too frequently attribute his mis statements to mere impulsiveness. But the railroad man, whose cor poration will continue to operate after his day is past, cannot afford to lie: he must be truthful, plain spoken and upright. He has not only his own moral character and personal future to regard, but also the trusts which are imposed upon him, both in behalf of the stockholders and of the public, whose servant he is. - There is no doubt that a campaign of lies has been Inaugurated and Is being carried on by our opponents. Why should not the railroad Interests of the country Inaugurate a campaign of truth and go before the people, confident that the campaign of truth will-win out over the campaign of lies? They may meet with temporary defeat here and there. What of it? Defeat should only be an Inspiration for more vig orous action If a man is armed with conscious integrity. The time la ripe for this character of movement. We represent one of tbe most honorable of occupations, one that re quires a high order of executive ability and a high order of technical Information. The men who manage the railroads are patriotic, upright and honest. They have the capacity to express themselves, and the means at hand of laying their views before their fellow citizens.
