WASHINGTON. Feb. 14 The reply of me r-enoaical .Publishers Association to the statement of Postmater-Genen:l Hitchcock yesterday In support of his proposal to Increase the postage on the advertising portions of the large maga zines, was mad tonight In the form of a statement by the postal committee of the association. "Mr. Hitchcock entirely ignores." the committee says, "the fact that second -cluas msll Is the chief producer of the first-class postage that finally saves the face of Postofflce balance sheets." Th. publishers show advertisements on which the Postofflce Department had made 144 per cent profit from carrying magazine advertisements. "o.t Double Subscription Price. "Mr. Hitchcock Instances one maga zine, and perhaps the most profttabla periodical In the country, to show that this periodical's recent increase In ad vertising rate; resulted In a profit of $110ft. or enough to pay its postaca bill. The absurdity of this sort of long distance accounting is obvious when It Is explained that the American maga zine costs to edit, manufacture, deliver and administer nearly twice as much as the publisher nets from subscriptions. "The difference mnde up from adver tising Is given to the subscriber In his opportunity to purchase a much better article than bis subscription price alona will produce. The postal committee of the Periodical Publishers' Association has obtained the exact figures from the books of the accounta of the five stand ard monthly magazines which carried the most advertising in 1909. Header Ucts 90 Per Cent. "The aggregate final net profits of these five magazine are less than one tenth of the aggregate advertising lu- come. The resdr geta the balance. "On Mr. Hitchcock's own figures In his statement showing that the pro posed postal change would mean only cents a pound postage on the whole maaaslne, though as the bill stands .'t would mean more. It la easily calculated that the proposed Increase would raise less than $2,500,000 for the Postofflc Department, from which must be sub traded the great new expense of admin lsterlng this complex and discrimina tory measure." President Taft emphasized to visitor today his own position In favor of maga zine postage Increase, and said If the In crease was not made by the present Con Kress he would continue to recommend such action as long as he continued President. - Ha took occasion to deny published Statements that he was opposed to mag azines, e'ther because of the so-called mucKraKlng propensities of some or because of attacks made upon him. upon the Republican party, or upon anybody else. His role object, according to his de claration, was his desire to save the Postofflce Department from being run as "a losing proposition." According to a statement made at the While House today, Attorney-General Wiekersham Informed the President that l.'nited States District Attorney Wise, of New York, was gathering Information for the grand Jury regarding the alleged existence of a "magazine trust" in New York City. CONTEST GROWS BITTER Kstate of F. A. Williamson Reaches Annullmeut Stage. OREGON CITT, Or., Feb. 14. (5pe clal.) Following the suit of the State of Oregon, through Frank Hesse, spe. elal counsel appointed by Governor West to bring proceedings to escheat the money of the estate of F. A. Wil- ll.-ftnson to the state, application for a writ of review was made today by Fred Hargreaves. administrator of the estate of Bernhardt Haist, who said the body of the man found three years ago near Oswego was that of bis brother. Christian Halst. Mrs. Effle B. Robinson, administra trix of the estate of Williamson. Is made defendant In the suit filed today, as is W. L. Mulvey, who, as County Clerk, Is custodian of the records In the case. The Identity of the man. whose pockets contained $660 In g.ld. has never been proved to the satls fnctlon of all concerned, though Mrs. Robinson has all along contended that the dead man was her father, F. A. Williamson, and Halst. now dead, says the body was that of his brother. Ex-County Judge Dlmlck. after hear ing the evidence In the case, threw both claimants out of court and sev eral weeks ago County Judge Beatle reversed Dlmick's decision and ordered the money paid over to Mrs. Robinson, who again qualified as administratrix. Hargreaves contends that the County Court can only be reviewed either by a writ of review or by appeal, and that decrees of the County Court can only be set aside for fraisd or collusion. He charges that Judge Beatie passed on the facta In the case, without being acquainted with them, and he asks that Mrs. Robinson be required to re turn the money to the County Treas urer. Mr. Hargreaves seeks to have the order of Judge Beatle annulled. EUGENE HITS COUNCIL ACTIO.V OX COMMISSION CHAR TEll KOUXDIA' SCORED. Maas Meeting of Citizens Adopts Platform Before Approaching City Election In April. EUGENE, Or., Feb. 14. (Special.) At a well-attended mass meeting held In the County Courthouse yesterday, the present City Council was roundly scored for Its recent action in regard to the commission charter, which had been submitted to them and pigeon holed, and a platform was adopted for the campaign before the approaching city election, the avowed purpose of which is the election of a Mayor and four Councllmen who are pledged to submission to the people of a commis sion charter. Attorney S. D. Allen was the presiding officer, and Prof. F. G. Young, of the University of Oregon, offered the resolution which was the basis of the platform. Judge E. O. Potter moved that a com mittee of 15 three members from each ward, and three members at large- be appointed for the purpose of se lecting at least two candidates for each office to be filled at the coming city election, and presenting their names at a called mass meeting. The general committee was appointed at once, and was composed of V. M. Wllk- ins. Prof. Joseph Schafer. of the Cnl versltv of Oregon, and W. C. Yoran. It was moved by Prof. E. E. DeCou. of the University, that the remainder of the committee be selected from their respective wards, and that they Issue a call for a subsequent mass meeting. Last night's meetlntr was the open ing of the second round in the fight between the people and the City Coun cil for commission form of govern ment. The first clash was a warm one, and resulted In victory for the Coun cil. Over a month ago, in response to an urgent demand, the present ad ministration agreed to 'submit a com mission charter, and a mass meeting was called to consider the' question. Sentiment at this meeting was over whelmingly in favor of commission form, and a committee was selected to draft a charter. This committee brought in Its work two days before the final date at which it could be ratified by the City Council, and that body refused to consider It on the plea that it had not been ratified at a mass meeting of the people. A vote on the proposed charter was taken at a previous mass meeting, and the result was ISO to 4 In favor of Its submission by the Council. This re sult was hurried to the Council cham bers, but that body had just adjourned, and refused to reconvene for business. Heated recriminations ensued through the local press, and the question has aroused intense interest. Commission form of government is to be the Issue of the coming city election in April, and a warm campaign is already under way. Rogue River :Fruit Men Make Money MEDFORD. Or.. Feb. 14. (Special.)
