DYNAMITE
APPEALS
ARE GRANTED AGAIN
Higher Court Upholds Itself
as to Tveitmoe and Haul-:
ihan Requests.
BERNHARDT LOSES CHANCE
Tribunal Reverses Itself on Govern
ment's Contention That Body
Krred Before End of First
Two Cases Predicted.
CHICAGO. June 3. The judgment of
the United States Circuit Court of Ap
peals in granting; new trials to Olaf A.
Tveitmoe. of San Francisco, and Rich
ard Houlihan, of Chicago, in the dyna
mite cases was affirmed by that court
today in an opinion handed down by
Judge Seaman.
The court reversed Uselt &a to grant
ing a new trial to William Bernhardt,
of Cincinnati. The Government's con
tention that the court erred In grant
ing Bernhardt a new trial was upheld
by the court and the sentence of one
year .Imposed by the lower court must
be served, according to the opinion.
The decision today was on the Gov
ernment's petition for a rehearing on
me granting or new trials to the three
men, argued here several weeks ago.
At that time, 21 other defendants were
given till June 6 to report at Leaven
worth Prison to begin serving their
sentences. This date was deferred un
til June 25 by order of the court last
Monday to give President Wilson time
to consider evidence in connection with
petitions for pardons for the convicted
men.
The court took arguments as to Hou
lihan, Tveitmoe and Bernhardt under
advisement and as a result reversed
themselves In Bernhardt'? case.
Tveitmoe was sentenced to six years'
Imprisonment and Houlihan to three
years' bythe verdict in the lower court
at Indianapolis. Unless the Govern
ment unearths new evidence against
them, it is said they will probably not
be tried again.
BAPTISTS MEET AT EUGENE
Three Counties and 18 Churches
Represented at 3-Day Session.
EUGENE, Or., June 3. (Special.)
Half a hundred delegates from 18
churches In Lane, Douglas and Coos
counties are in attendance at the an
nual convention here of the Umpqua
Baptist Association. Standardization
is to be made the theme of the three
days' meeting, at which an effort will
be made to determine what constitutes
a "standard" church.
Officers elected today are: J. H.
Irish, of Eugene, moderator; C. E. Dun
ham, of Elmira, secretary-treasurer.
Reports read by delegates show a net
gain of membership during the year of
600; 150 have been baptized. The total
Baptist membership in the three coun-.
ties is 2400. In 10 years the member
ship has grown 250 per cent.
MEDIATION AWAITS REPLY
(Continued From First Page.)
stood here that the constitutionalists
have hesitated to -favor mediation be
cause of a misconception of the char
acter of the proceedings.
Land Legislation Not Intended.
The mediators are daily approaching
Mexican internal questions, which have
ae well an international aspect, in the
most tactful manner. The Huerta del
egates have been able to discuss these
phases without yielding the sovereignty
of their nation. There is no purpose
here to legislate on the land question.
The American delegates have never
suggested any specific plan for the
remedy of the agrarian trouble, nor
do they intend to do so. -
What the American Government and
the mediators desire Is that the new
provisional government shall be mor
ally obligated to take up the land ques
tion and dispose of it with justice to
all interests. What they wish roost of
all Is that the new government shall
be so Impressed with its obligations as
a result of the mediation that It can
not ignore the problem as has been
done for 'two score years.
Service to Humanity Intended.
While the land question has not been
the only cause of unrest in Mexico,
It has constantly bred incipient revol
utions. The American Government and
the mediators alike consider they are
morally bound to render a service to
humanity by extending friendly coun
sel and advice in respect to solution
of internal problems so that the "na
tional government can be made so
strong it can maintain internal peace.
If the constitutionalists are obdurate
and refuse to enter, preferring the path
way of bloodshed to the ways of peace,
mediation will proceed. An agreement
will be reached between the . United
States and the Huerta administration
through which a new government will
be set up. General Huerta's withdrawal
will be regarded by the United States
as sufficient reparation for offenses
which threatened war. The interna
tional conflict will have been resolved,
and the probabilities are that Argen
tina, Brazil and Chile will feel Jus
tified in extending recognition and
moral support to the provisional gov
ernment in Mexico City. The United
States would be expected to do like
wise. -
PROBABLE H1TOH IS ADMITTED
Prospect of Kebel Participation Ap
pears Not to Be Bright.
WASHINGTON. June 3. Whether
the constitutionalists of Mexico are to
participate in peace negotiations at Ni
agara Falls probably will be deter
mined before another day has passed.
The prospects -for participation were
said not to be bright.
Agents of General Carranza were In di
rect telegraphic communication tonight
with the constitutionalist leader, after
having forwarded to him the answer
of the South American mediators to
ills message of protest . carried to Ni
agara Falls last week.,
The note from the mediators, ad
dressed to Mr. Zubaran, reached Wash
ington in the afternoon and Mr. Zu
baran. Mr. Vasconcelos and Mr. Urquidi
of the constitutionalist agency began
to communicate with General Carranza
at Durango by a special wire. Admin
istration officials awaited the outcome
with anxiety.
Tills was the first day that any ad
missions had been made of the probable
setbacks in the progress of peace, and
even today Secretary Bryan again re
iterated his insistent declaration that
mediation was progressing satisfac
torily. The proposals upon which Carranza's
representatives would be admitted to
the peace negotiations included, it was
said, provision for a limited armistice
and assurances of ample participation
on the part of the constitutionalists
In the proposed provisional government
to replace the Huerta regime pending
a general election.
While ammunition for the constitu
tionalists was en route today to Tam
pico from the United States, admission
came from the State Department of
previously reported orders to customs
officials not to clear any consignments
of munitions of war to Mexican ports.
OIlfGrXAL- PLAN IS EXCEEDED
Carranza, Agent Suggests Mediation
of Mediators'' Troubles. "
EL PASO, Tex., June 3. "This seems
a. good time for a mediation commis
sion to be appointed to mediate the
difficulties of . the mediators at the
Niagara Falls mediation conference,"
Roberto Pesqueira, confidential agent
of the Mexican revolutionists, de
clared today.
"We are appealing,'.' he declared, "to
the Idea of fair play of the American
people.
"The original Idea of the mediation
conference was to settle the difficulties
between the Huerta government and
the United States Government over the
arrest of some sailors and marines at
Tampico. With this the constitution
alist party was in hearty accord. No
marines or sailors or soldiers had been
arrested in the two-thirds of Mexico
controlled by the constitutionalists.
and we considered as highly proper
any ' mediation to prevent an armed
conflict of two friendly nations.
tsut the mediators began to deal
with the internal affairs of Mexico and
to deal, not with Carranza, the commander-
of the constitutionalist move
ment, but with representatives of the
murderers of President Madero, on ac
count of whose death the Washington
Government refused to recognize the
Huerta government and assisted mor
ally the constitutionalist revolution.
"Also, I wish to recall that the gov
ernments of Argentina, Brazil and
Chile did not recognize Huerta, and
their peoples morally were against the
government of despotism and were In
favor of the revolution of democracy,
Why have these representatives of for
merly friendly South American govern
ments so altered the position of the
countries they represent?

AGED REFUGEE IN NEED
VETERAN AND WIFE RETURNING
TO PORTLAND MEET HARDSHIPS.
P ,F. Foatoa Finds Trip From Mexico
More Expensive Than Expected and
Help Asked at Eugene.
EUGENE, Or., June 3. (Special.)
A pitiful story is told by P. F. Foston,
a Civil War veteran and refugee from
Mexico, 72 years old, who arrived in
Eugene late today with his horse and
wagon, hungry and penniless. With
him is travelling his aged wife. They
have appealed for help in Eugene that
they may reach Portland, their former
home.
They fled from Torreon, Mexico, last
December. They had but little mnoey
but hoped by frugality to make it last.
Misfortune overtook them. At San
Diego one horse died and he was com
pelled to spend nearly all his money
for another. Floods In California drove
them hundreds of miles out of their
way.
"These things," said Mr. Foston,
"took all my money. At one time I
owned property in Portland, but was
fool enough to sell it and go to Mex
ico. I did not figure that the trip home
would cost so much, and I can't quite
make it unless I get some help from
the Eugene people."

Captain Is Said to Have Acted
"Queerly," but Condition Is Not
Held to Have Prevented His
Knowledge of Wrong.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 3. (Special.)
An attempt by the defense to estab
lish a mental condition which would
incapacitate Captain Joseph If. Grif
fiths to discriminate between Govern
ment funds and private funds failed in
the court-martial at the Presidio today.
Major Charles E. Marrow, Medical
Corps, was questioned closely by At
torney Price, acting ,for Griffiths.
When the direct question was asked.
Major Marrow answered with a direct
negative. While he admitted,' as non
professional testimony and not as an
expert, that Captain Griffiths had act
ed queerly. Major Marrow refused to
establish a condition of mental un
balance. The prosecution all but closed Its
case today. Ten minutes Friday will
place the case in the hands of the de
fense. The court will convene next
Friday. It is expected the defense will
be brief.
Alias Not Fully Proved.
On technical grounds the defense
succeeded in having rejected the depo
sition of Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur W.
Tates, the officer who arrested Captain
Griffiths in Oakland. This necessitates
the Introduction of other witnesses to
prove the arrest.
Lieutenant Maxwell Murray testified
that Captain Griffith had requested
Lieutenant-Colonel Yates to cash in
transportation obtained for an Orien
tal trip on the Union steamship line
steamer Tahiti, which he had been
unable to use because of his arrest.
This evidence was not supported, be
cause R. S. L. Morrison, passenger
agent of the line, was disqualified as
a witness. The disqualification was
based on the failure of the prosectlon
to establish the connection between .the
alias used by Griffiths in making his
reservation and Griffiths himself.
Prosecution Is Confident.
The prosecution believes it has
proved conclusively the first two
charges of embezzlement and conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man. The Federal statute governing
the case provides that embezzlement
rests . in the failure to turn over in
trusted funds and places the burden of
proof on the accused man.
The charge of breach of arrest, it. is
declared, is substantiated by witnesses
and the charge of desertion is proved
by the arrest of Captain Griffiths in
Oakland when his post was at Seattle.
FIRE PREVENTION MADE
300,000 ACRES TO BE SUPERVISED
IN EASTERN OREGON.
Union-Wallow a .Association Assesses
Members Only 1 Cent Per Acre,
Agnlnat S Cent by State.
LA GRANDE, Or.. June 3. (Special.)
Steps to prevent destructive forest
fires in Eastern Oregon, which, until
1913, have been an annual event, have
been taken care of by local millmen
and owners of email timber tracts. The
organization, called the Union-Wallowa
Counties' Fire Association, which came
into existence last year, has had phe
nomenal success.
Three hundred thousand acres of val
uable timber will be subject to super
vision by fire wardens appointed by
the association, who will maintain con
stant patrol and build roads and tele
phone lines as part of their duties.
The state is co-operating, but owners
of small tracts prefer the local organi
zation's supervision, which costs 1 cent
per acre, while' the state charge is 5.
Forty fires last year did no appre
ciable damage by reason of aid rushed
to incipient fires from La Grande and
Wallowa County points. Signboards,
with warnings to campers, are provided
for. New officiers and directors have
been elected and additional fire war
dens appointed.
