NQWRONGISFOUND
House Committee Says Island
Land Sales Regular.
POLICY OF LAW IS WRONG
Majority Favor Selling in Large
Minority in Small Tracts Sugar
Trust's "Sexf Door Neighbor"
Gobbles ft 6,000 Acres.
WASHINGTON. March I. Complete
exoneration of th officers of the Phil
ippine Islands Government of all
charges of irregularities, or Improprie
ties In connection with the admlnlatra
tlon. sales or leases of lands In the
Phlllnnlnes. vet on the other hand
pointed criticisms of the Inadequacy of
the present laws to prevent monopolies
in what ar known as th "friar lands"
are expressed In both the majority and
mlnorltv reports of the Mouse com
mittee on Insular affairs submitted to
rhe House todar.
Th charge mad on th floor of th
House a year ago by Representative
Martin of Colorado that the so-called
sugar trust had acquired 66.000 acres
of the "friar lands " led to an invesuKa
tlon of the entlr Question of admlnls
tratlon of public lands aa well as
"friar lands.'
Sale of Large Tracts Proposed.
Both reports concur In tke opinion
that the organic act of 1902 In limit
ing Individuals to 40 acres and corpora
tions to 2500 acres In the amount of
public land that may be acquired does
not impose the same restriction on th
disposition of the "Irlar lands.
The majority report argues that as
a practical expedient the "friar lands
should be disposed of In larger quan
tities to attract buyers, while the mm
orlty claim that the "sale of "friar
lands' In large tracts may develop a
system of absentee landlordism
obnoxious to th Filipinos as that of
th friars against whom they one re
belled. The latter also suggest that a
frlendlr proceeding be begun In the
courts by th officers of the Philippine
Government to dotermlne the exact
legal status of th "friar lands" with
respect to public lands regulations.
Sugar Trust's Neighbor Boys.
As to the acquisition by E. L. Poole
of i.000 acres of the "friar lands"
on behalf of Horace Havemeyer. Chas.
J. Welch and Charles H. Senff. both
reports declare the publlo officials In
volved were not culpable, being guided
by the best available Interpretations
of the law.
The majority members, however,
deny that th land was obtained by
the sugar trust while th minority as
sert that If th sugar trust did not ac
quire it "the next door neighbor to the
sugsr trust" did and that there la
apparent "a community of Interest evi
dencing a holding by one person of up
wards of 56.000 acres of land.
The minority accepts the situation
aa "unavoidable' but holds th Incident
up aa a warning against "further ex
ploitation of the lands by American
capitalists." and suggests that no more
sales of larg tracts of th "friar
lands" be consummated pending the ac
tion of Congress, or the outcome of
court proceedings that might b In
stituted by the phlUpplna officers.
Th majority rejjorv was signed by
Representative Olmstead. of Pennsyl
vania, chairman of the committee, and
Representative Crumpacker. of In
dlana: Hamilton, of Michigan; Fuller.
of Illinois; Graham, of Pennsylvania;
Pearsons, of New Tork; McKlnlay. of
California; Douglas of Ohio and Fornes
of New Tork.
Jones Says Policy Mistaken.
Th minority report was submitted
by Representatives Madison, of Kan
sas. Hubbard and Davis, or Minnesota.
There will be a third report of the
Investigation embodying the views of
the Democrata on th committee, pre
pared by Representative Jones, of Vir
ginia, but it Is not yet ready.
Chairman Olmstead In presenting tha
two reports today obtained permission
of th House to have the third report
filed at any time before the adjourn
ment of Congress.
It is understood that th Jones re
port. Ilk th others, absolves the Phil
ippine officials of wrongdoing and con
cedes that they acted within the Inter
pretation of law laid down by the law
officers by whose opinion they were
bound to ba guided; but holds that
their action waa In pursuance of a
mistaken policy.
RUSH TO CLAIMS PERILOUS

Much Suffering.
SPOKANE. Wash.. March S. (Spe
cial.) Suffering hardships and perils.
more than 60 persons climbed Canfleld
Mountain Thursday night to stake out
claims near tha property of the John
son Brothers, where th richest strike

made Thursday morning.
Johnson brothers have been working

and skis tn their attempt to get to the
property. Excitement Is reigning at
Coeur d'AIene and Friday there were
about 100 who were preparing for a
trip to the country which is reported

tion la difficult. Footholds have to be
chopped Into the Ice In many places
and ropes passed to trees above In
manv cases. The claim is on tne prop

MR. MAXWELL, Cutter and Manager
MAXWELL, The Tailor
Importer of Foreign Woolens
. 246 WASHINGTON STREET '
Portland, Oregon," March 4,' 1911,
TO MY CUSTOMERS AND PATRONS :-
I am taking the liberty to inform you that my stock of imported spring
woolens has arrived on the 24th of February, and am proud to state that
this selection of woolens consists of the nicest and most exclusive styles
and patterns ever shown in the City of Portland.
I also wish to call your special attention that in this shipment I
have received twenty six (26) full bolts comprising over 1500 yards of West
of England Blue Worsted Serge.
This serge I can positively guarantee not to shine, fade or shrink,
and are of such weights that they can be worn the year around.
' My regular prices on these serges average from $40 to $50 per suit, and
as it is rather early for Spring trade I make this unusual offer of your
unrestricted choice from any of the sixteen bolts serge: I will make a
suit and extra pants of same for $37.50 until March 16th only.
Remember that I use nothing but the highest grade of mohair serge or alpaca
linings and do not charge anything extra for this high grade of trimmings,
as I always believe there is nothing gained in the future by using cheap
materiale
I have adopted this policy of using high grade trimmings in my clothe3
many years ago, and for this reason I have accomplished the largest
tailoring establishment with the largest patronage in the City of Portland.
The years I have been in business in Portland, and the thousands of
suits that I have made, is enough to testify to my ability and integrity in
doing business.
Bear in mind that my store is one of the largest "tailoring establish
ments in the city and carries the largest and most up to date stock of
imported woolens. '
All garments are cut by me, personally, and every detail is carefully
watched, and all goods are made on the premises under my personal super
vision, which you can see for. yourself when you visit my store.
