WOOD-LARK BUILDING, ALDER AT WEST PARK OREGON TO ACT TOGETHER Action on Appointments Await Conference of Lane and Chamberlain. APPLICANTS FLOOD MAIL Kino-Tenths or Letters Received by Kach Refer to Patronage Junior Senator Not In Haste to Make Selections. OKEOONIAJI NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. March 12. Senator Chamber lain and Senator Lane are literally swamped with letters from loyal Ore- Ron Democrats seeking Jobs for them selves or recommending: their friends for appointment, and so great Is the flood of correspondence that neither Senator has been- able to sift out the wheat from the chaff. Senator Chamberlain has some ad vantage over his colleague. In that he has had time to consider many of the applications that have been filed with lilm. but Senator Lane, since his ar rival In Washington, has been so busy trying to classify his letters that he has not yet had the opportunity to look Into the qualifications of various applicants and pick out the men he believes are best suited for the re spective Jobs. Senators Will Confer. Until the two Senators have a con ference, no recommendations will be submitted to President Wilson or his Cabinet advisers, for It Is the purpose of Senators Chamberlain and Lane to art unitedly. If such a thine Is pos sible. The fact that few. If any, appoint ments will be made by President Wll Kon until Congress convenes In special Hession In April has given the Oregon Senators time to go over their corre spondence. It was Senator Chamber lain's desire to get some of the appoint ments out of the way during the extra session of the Senate, but Senator Lane was not able at that time to classify his applications, and at his suggestion senatorial action was postponed. Sen ator Lane appears to be In no hurry whatsoever about filling any of the offices now at the disposal of himself and Senator Chamberlain, but It Is In ferred that the senior Senator would be glad to clean up the available slate with as little delay as possible. "I am bere representing the people of Oregon, not the Democrats alone," said Senator Lane, "and I feel It is Incumbent upon me to recommend In every Instance the most available and the most competent man who can be found. The people have a right to demand that we select good men and not play politics with this newly ac quired patronage, and It will be my endeavor to support only men who. If appointed, will give efficient service. Senators' Desk Congested. When Senator Lane arrived In Wash ington he brought with him "from SO to 7 pounds of applications for of ttce," as he expressed It. and since his arrival new applications have been coming In by mall and by wire at the rate of about ten pounds n day. Prob ably nine-tenths of his mMl beau on patronage, either applications from Democrats seeking appointments or Indorsements sent by friends. Senator Chamberlain's mall Is quite as large, and the percentage of patron age correspondence is about the same. Neither Senator has been able to make reply to all the applications filed, and M Mr - aaveral Wflekl before the Oregon Senators are able to clear their desks. LAND SUIT T0BE HURRIED Attorney-General Promises to Expe dite Proceedings In Oregon. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. March 12. Senator Lane, Rep resentatives Slnnott and Lafferty and National. Committeeman King called today on the -, Attorney-General and urged that the Southern Pacific land grant suit be expedited aa speedily as practicable consistent with public In terest. Senator Lane explained that he Is getting many complaints on account of the delay, especially from settlers whose lands are Involved. The At' torney-General promised to give the re auest prompt attention and said it probably would be necessary to with draw B. D. Townsend from the Cali fornia oil land and other cases and to direct him to devote his entire time to the land-grant suit In Oregon until it Is disposed of.'

FIVE CHILDREN DESERTED Love Epistle Found by Husband but Man In Jail Protests It Is Mean ingless and Remains Visitor Until Woman Goes. CHICAGO, March 12. Letters writ ten by Owen D. Conn., tho "society burglar" now under arrest at San Francisco, to Rev. Nestor K . Clarkson and a letter from Conn to Mrs. Clark son, Intercepted by Rev. Mr. Clarkson, throw considerable light on the attach ment between the burglar and the wife of a Chicago missionary. Mrs. Clark son, her husband says, not only left him to go with tho burglar, but she also deserted her five children that she might be with the man who now says he entered upon his career of robbery to provide her with luxuries. A letter intercepted by Rev. Mr. Clarkson, written by Conn when he was serving a prison sentence at Wau pon. Wis., was couched in terms of en dearment, but though a love letter, the terms used were moderate. Conn apologized for being compelled to use moderate terms. "Lock of Hair" Mentioned. An excerpt from the letter, which evidently Is a reply to one from Mrs. Clarkson, reads: "I recall a message that I received while In the Milwaukee Jail from someone who said they would stick by me through thick and thin, when all others would desert me. "This has been a beacon of hope to me In times of discouragement and much of my hope is centered in its promises. Will It be fulfilled? Oh, I hope so, yet I sometimes hp.ve doubts about It. Where Is that lock of hair? Why, I've got it and intend always to have It... Also tho ring, or what's left of It. The photograph would not have been returned, only I nave an other like It. Would you like to see that one returned, too? Well, you can all you want to for all the good it will do you. I've got three now. What do you think of that? The last one Is the best, because it was the last one re ceived. Wireless here." Minister Warns Bnrslar. Immediately upon finding this letter. Rev. Mr. Clarkson says, he wrote to Conn, telling him to leave Mrs. Clark son alone. Conn answered, seeking to convince the minister that there was nothing wrong In his association with Mrs. Clarkson. This letter reads: "Under the circumstances. I have tried to Imagine myself in your posi tion, as you stated It. and I win an swer you accordingly. "I must admit that you have the right to be Indignant at the seemingly frivolous or sentimental tone of my correspondence with Mrs. C. But, my dear sir, you are wholly mistaken as to my intentions regarding her. I know I have been very familiar in my attitude In many ways. but. as God is my judge, I have never suggested or proposed anything dishonorable to her at any time. "W hile, perhaps, i have taken some extreme liberties In addressing her, I have always borne In mind the fact that I look upon her as a good friend. yet as your wife and as the mother of your children, sacred ties to me. Sentiment Said to be Gratitude. "Mrs. Clarkson was a very good friend to mo when I did not havn a friend In the world. She interceded for me in court, cheered me up when I was discouraged. She has helped me often and In many ways kept me from being- discouraged. Would not I be a base lngrate If I was not grate ful for this?" Rev. Mr. Clarkson says Mrs. Clark son met Conn while she was acting as a Jail missionary. Her devotion for him Is said to have grown out of at tempts to reform him. Immediately after being released from prison, after meeting Mrs. Clarkson, the "society burglar" professed religion and be came a frequent visitor at the Clark son home. So notleceable became his attentions to Mrs. Clarkson, Mr. Clark son says, that even the children saw that something was wrong and one made the remark that she was afraid that Conn would "try to marry mamma." Rev. Mr. Clarkson tells of several efforts on his part to break up the growing attachment and of a final break with his wife when, finding Mrs, Clarkson with Conn on the North Side, he demanded that she choose between himself and the burglar. "I will go with Mr. Conn." she is said to have replied to his demand. She then fled with Conn and, Mr. Clarkson says, save for a request by telephone from her that she be permitted to see her babies again, he has never heard from her. The call was two weeks ago. Rev. Mr. Clarkson says ho was com pelled to decline his wife's request. MORE BOOTY IS RECOVERED Secret Cache of Conn's Loot Brings Total Value Far Above $100,000. SAN FRANCISCO, March 12. Mrs. Owen X. Conn, alias Pope, serietly cached a large amount of loot before she disappeared and the police believe the total amount of Conn's thefts was far In excess of 1100,000.

"The jewelry recovered in the hotel, that found at the pawnshops and to day's find will make up the largest collection of stolen goods ever recov ered In the city," said Captain of De tectives Mooney. Hundreds of persons viewed the dis play today of Jewelry at the office of the property clerk at the city prison. Thirteen persons recovered, by posi tive Identifications, all or portions of their property.

Professors Ask Thoughtful Consider ation Without Baste and Without Excess of Emotion. PARIS, March 12. Some opposition to the Immense and hurried increase of the peace footing of the French army has made its appearance. Some 350 professors of the Sorbonne, among them the finest scholars in France, have is sued a united address to the people of France not to yield thoughtlessly "to the military panic and to forces of reac tion which tend toward desperate ad ventures hostile to the republican gov ernment." The professors do not declare them selves opposed to the three-year period of service in the active army, but ask for the fullest and most thoughtful con sideration of the situation, without haste and without excesses of emotion. Another declaration signed by Ana tola France and several members of the French Institute, literary men, scien tists and professors, published today, urged calm consideration of the pro posed military measures, "which, if adopted, will profoundly affect the life of France, both Intellectually and eco nomically. GOVERNOR ACCUSES ED OF P Sulzer Charges Clark With Neglect of Duty in Conduct of Thaw Case. ACCUSED TO REPLY TODAY Superintendent Said to Have Al lowed Records to Be Changed and to Have Permitted Pris oners to Violate Rules. ALBANY, N. T., March 12. Charges of "non-feasance and neglect of duty" were preferred today against Colonel Joseph F. Scott, Superintendent of State Prisons, by Governor Sulzer. The Governor In presenting the charges wrote Colonel Scott that he would have an opportunity to bo heard to morrow. The charges are based largely upon the report submitted by the Governor's committee of Inquiry. It Is charged that Colonel Scott "in tentionally and wilfully neglected and refrained" from dismissing a sales agent of the prison's department until his dismissal was demanded by the Governor, that Scott appointed Dr James V. May as superintendent of the Matteawan asylum Instead of Dr. Amos T. Baker, assistant superintendent of the institution, who stood first on the civil service list. Tlinvr Allowed to Alter Record. The Governor declares that Scott failed to Investigate reports that Dr. May altered the hospital case book containing a record of an examination of Harry K. Thaw made by Dr. May and Dr. John W. Russell, "and that even Thaw himself was allowed to al ter such record, and that Dr. Russell, then superintendent of the institution, was not suspended nor dismissed." It is further charged that because of neglect to maintain proper super vision over Matteawan State Hospital, Thaw was permitted to receive and have large sums of money in his pos session; that Dr. Russell permitted various persons to. see Thaw virtually without restriction and to transact business with him without official sur veillance over him; that Thaw was permitted to "give large sums of money to some of those persons and money to all of them." and that Dr. Russell knew that John Nicholson Anhut had received $25,000 In cash and market able securities for the purpose of re leasing Thaw from the hospital. Attitude Toward Russell Criticised. The accusation further recites that Colonel Scott neglected to suspend Dr. Russell after he learned of the alleged attempt on the part of Anhut to bribe Dr. Russell and after Anhut had testi fied before the committee of inquiry that Dr. Russell had told him "he would not do anything for Thaw with out being paid for it" and that "$20,000 would not begin to compensate him," and that by accepting Dr. Russell's resignation as superintendent over the telephone Colonel Scott "Intentionally attempted to defeat any demand of the Governor for the dishonorable dis missal of said superintendent of said hospital." Supreme Court Admits Clark. WASHINGTON. March 12. Speaker Clark was admitted today to practice before the Supreme Court. He was In troduced by ex-Judge Sheppard Bar clay, of St. Louis.
