Th undercurrent of the deliberations

fac yesterday afternoon and ended In
a series of accusations on th part of

Chapter of th American Mining Con
gress.
The committee on organization re
ported Its recommendations that tha
new society be called the Oregon Chap
ter of the American Mining Congress,
Inasmuch as the old organization was
not In existence.
This led F. K. Powell to say that
Portland people were not taking any
Interest in the new society because ot
the fact thst L. D. Mahone 'had some
thing to do with It. At the time of
tha formation of the old organization.
he said, certain charges were made.
Ha did not know anything about them
and h said he presumed that Mr. Ma
hone waa "able to take car of his own
character.'
This reference to the secretary ot
the new organization started a lengthy
debate and ended in heated reply from
Mr. Mahone. In which he said:
"So far as my charater is concerned.
I do not care a whit what any person
may think. - I have paid no attention
to these cowards who are assaulting
my good name. Some of the knockers
I have managed to place In Jail and
there are more of them going there.
I have tbe evidence right here to send
several to the penitentiary.
Mr. Malone waved a large envelope
containing papera
"I propose to continue prosecuting
these fake mining stock manipulators
and, while some of the men whom I
have attacked an out on bail, it is
certainty that I shall send some ' ot
them over the road," he added.
It was said In the course of the de
bate that the old organization had
viewed the new one with aome bus-
plcion and for that reason there was
not Ahe unanimity of feeling which
ought to have existed. However, the
delegates announced their intention ot
going ahead with th new organiza
tion and adjourned until 10 o'clock to
day to consider the plan proposed by
the committee.
