OREOONIAN NKW8 BUREAU. Wuh
Inn ton, June J. Having- clearly estab
lished, by frlvtna the records that he
was twice convicted In land fraud casva
by "tlxed" Juries, and having shown
this flxlns; was done by William J.
Kurna and his agents, Wlllard N. Jones,
of I'ortland, today received an uncondi
tional pardon at the bands of 'resident
Taft. and is thereby relieved of pay
ment of lines apRregatlnft 12,OuO and
escapes serving; four months in JalU
Mhlle President Taft's statement on
this is not made public. It waa under
stood to be a scathlnir arraignment of
Burns and others implicated with him,
but Burns will escape punishment for
bis violation of the law and ethics, not
withstanding; that his eruilt Is estab
lished by his own records, some In bis
own handwriting- now In possession of
the Attorney-General, as the statute of
limitations has run and nothing could
be accomplished by attempted prosecu
tion. Boras Deala Proved.
The Department of Justice In today
announcing; the pardon of Jones made
no formal statement, but explained
that Jones had been pardoned becauae
the department bad exhaustively ex
amined his charges against Burns and
other prosecuting officers and found his
charges completely proved. These
charges. If ever made public In their
entirety, will make one of tbe most sen
sational records In the history of
American criminal procedure.
Hummed up generally, the Jones
charges, which the Attorney-Oeneral
hol'ls are proved, are as follows:
That the Government prosecutors and
detectives and political enemies of
Jones, determined and selected the
wbole Jury box list of, more than 609
names from which the grand and petit
Juries were drawn, this unlawful se
lection of Jury lists being made along
political lines with the purpose of se
curing men who were prejudiced and
who would convict.
That the names lawfully In the Jury
box were unlawfully removed.
That witnesses were Intimidated Into
giving false testimony ag-tinst Jones
under threat of Indictment.
That witnesses were so threatened In
the presence of their families In their
own homes by a member of the grand
Jury and by detectives In Government
employ.
That In various cases then being
tried, numerous persons were Indicted
ami compelled to give against other
defendants evidence not true and
thereafter such Indictments were dis
miss d.
Dlaeieaarrs Are Ptarlllos;.
The case of Jones was prepared and
presented to the Attorney-General and
the President by 11. II. Schwartz, of
Tortland, and James H. Hashy-f mlth,
of Washington, and It was upon evi
dence which they dug from the official
files of the Iepartment that Jones"
pardon was based. With the permis
sion of the Attorney-General, Be h warts
went through the confidential files left
at Tortland by Henry and Burns and
then followed his search through the
files n Washington. The disclosures
made are In many Instances astound
ing. .
In March. 111, President Taft. after
reading the first appeal of Jones, com
muted his sentence in two cases to
four months, to run consecutively, and
left his fine at $13,000. Schwarta, then
In Portland, telegraphed the President
outlining the nature of his discoveries
among the Ileney-Burns confidential
papers and secured a stay of proceed
ings, and during that stay completed
hl record.
Moat of the sensational evidence
showing the Burns method of packing
Juries was found In a box which ileney
and Burns left at Portland In care of
Heney's appointee. Marshal Iteed.
marked "Confidential Not to Be
Opened." This box waa turned over to
the I'letrlct Attorney by Reed's sua
eessor. and IMstrlct Attorney McCourt
gave Schwarts access to it by direction
of the Attorney-General. In this box
wss a vast collection of records show
ing the manner In which the Jury box
waa tilled by Burns.

man from New York, and who will be
In cbarge of Mr. Roosevelt's Interests
before the National committee. First,
It la said Mr. Ward let It be known
that the rules provide for the new com
mitteemen to begin their services after
the National convention and then be
called attention to his own position.
While Mr. Ward la for Roosevelt, a
big majority of the New Tork delega
tion Is said to be for President Taft.
It Is reported that Mr. Ward told the
Roosevelt campaigners thst If the agi
tation for recognition of the claims of
new committeemen waa successful, the
Tsft delegation from New York might
take It on Itself to elect Mr. Ward's
successor at one and demand that be
be seated,

It was this presentation of tbe case,
according to Taft sources, which
brought about the change of front on
the part of the Rooaeveltlana.
The Taft headquarters was opened
today by Joseph B. Keating, of Indiana,
but up to a late hour tonight only two
Eastern representatives of the Presi
dent had reached Chicago, John Yonan
and A. A. Erly, of tbe publicity bureau.
Mr. Keating urged Director McKluley
by telegraph today to hurry to Chicago,
and tie la expected to reach the city
tomorrow.
The Roosevelt and the Taft head
quarters have been established In the
same hotels. Alexander H. Revall. bead
of the Illinois headquarters, who re
turned this morning from Oyster Bay.
gave out a statement tonight, outlining
what he said waa Colonel Roosevelt's
attitude toward convention organisa
tion. Majority Thoagbt Sore.
"We are assured absolutely thst there
will be a clear msjorlty fur Colonel
Roosevelt on the first ballot.'' said
Revall. "The only proposition In sight
Is to develop the strength throughout
the convention preliminaries so that It
ultimately will be concentrated In the
nomination of Colonel Roosevelt.
"Absolutely nothing .else has. or will,
be considered by Colonel Roosevelt or
by his friends, prior to opening- the
convention."
Kdwln W. 81ms, who Is In charge of
tbe Chicago Roosevelt headquarters
until the arrival of Senator Dixon, made
puollc a telegram from Oscar R. Hund
ley, a Roosevelt leader In Alabama. Mr
Hundley said that the two delegates
from the Third Alabama district. In
structed for President Taft, had given
out a written statement that they
would support Roosevelt, because they
believed DO per cent of tha constituency
favored his. nomination.
Word Cosaeo as Soxortae.
Tbe Southern delegate situation was
vigorously discussed by two members of
the National committee who reached
Chicago today. Henry 8. Chubb, com
mitteeman from Florida, declared it
was "a reflection upon the Integrity of
Florida Republicans," to hint that they
would not stand by their Instructions
for President Taft. "Florlda'e 13 dele
gates are instructed for Taft." said Mr.
Chubb, "and they will vote for him
through thick and thin."
General Powell Clayton, the chair
man for Arkansas, said Southern com
mitteemen and delegates would or
ganise before the convention to fight
any proposal to reduce the representa
tion of Houthorn states.
The attempt four years ago. to re
duce representation to the basis of the
Republican vote cast In tha Southern
states caught the Southern delegate
and committeemen unprepared, he said:

Sccrrtary-GenrrsJ of Mexican Insur-
rents Pays Visit to American
Official at Chihuahua.
CHIHUAHUA. Mex.. June 3. Jose
Cordova, secretary-general of the revo
lution and chief counsellor of Gen
eral Pascual Oroxco, today assured
Marlon Letcher, the American consul
here, that foreigners would not be
molested In the operatlona of the rebels
in this vicinity.
The visit of Cordova to the American
consul waa the direct result of the
Inquiry by the American State De
partment aa to tha recent proclama
tions from rebel headquarters Inti
mating that a situation might arise
out of alleged partiality of the United
States to the Mexican federal govern
ment In the exportation of arms.
Three thousand rebels were sent
southwestward from here to engage
the federal cavalry of Generals Villa
and Rabago en route overland from
Parrel to attack Chihuahua.
Though an attack by the main fed
eral column under General Huerta Js
bellevetf to be several days off, the
possibility of a flank movement by
General Villa and General Rabago who
are reported coming from Parrel,
southeast of Chihuahua, with federal
cavalry, has alarmed the population.
I'resent plans of the rebel leaders
call for a stand at Bachlmba, 4S miles
south of here. In the mountain passes
along the Mexican Central Railroad.
It Is believed the government troops
will not be able for aome time to re
construct the burned bridges to trans
port their artillery.
There is little ammunition in the
rebel army, not enough at any time
for an engagement, but the rebel lead
ers assert they are getting supplies
rapidly and will be well equipped when
the fighting Is resumed.

San Francisco Chief Asks
Judges to Convict on Cir
cumstantial Evidence.
HANDS NOW TIED, HE SAYS

mentConference With Court
la Xext Move In Campaign.
SAN FRANCISCO. June S. (Special.)
Two steps were taken today by Chief
of Police White to bring about auch
co-operation between the police de
partment and the Police Judges that
convictions of alleged poolroom gam
blers could be made without the fiascos
which have marked the handling of
these cases In times past.
White will make a test case of the
arrests made last night where nine
Chinese and an alleged keeper of a
gambling game were caught, together
with all their paraphernalia. Including
dominoes and tables and everything
needed to play both pi gow and fan
tan. Nobody waa actually caught gam
bling, but the ."circumstantial evi
dence" which haa' been such a bone
of contention between the police and
the Police Judges will be given a very
thorough hearing In Judge Weller!
Court.
Chief Kara 'llasda Are Tied."
In addition to deciding on thla test
rase. Chief White haa planned a con
ference with all the Police Judges, at
which time he will discuss very thor
oughly with the Jurists the manner of
preparing evidence in such gambling
cases. He will try to reach with them
some agreement concerlng the strength
of the evidence demanded by the courts
and he hopes to secure their consent to
convict on circumstantial evidence.
Chief White aees no use in trying to
crush out the gambling evil. He con
siders that the hands of his depart
ment have been tied and says It's
atrlctly up to the courts.
Tha Police Judges, on the other hand.
have complained that White's men,
while they have been busy making ar
rests, have brought In only the flim
siest kind of circumstantial evidence.

In the meantime all the poolrooma in
the city continue to do business at the
old stands, despite the fact that three
of the best known, conducted respect
ively by Tom Corhett, Al Broyer and
Louie Bernhard. were dynamited last
Friday night. In the hope, it Is sup
posed, that a public agitation would
result In their having to close down.
There are nearly SO well-equipped
poolrooms now in operation In the city.
