THE MORXIXG OREGONIATf, SATURDAY, ArRIL 3. 1915. WILSON, QUOTED IN PARIS, GIVES DENIAL French Journalist Cables In terview, After Call With : Ambassador Jusserand. L- COMPACT IS VIOLATED Oidcrtanding Had in Advance That Vibitor Came Merely to Pay Kef-pec is and Xot in Capacity as Xenpaperman. . WASHINGTON", April 2. Following the receipt of cable dispatches from Taria today, Faying that the Far Temps printed today an interview with President Wilson on European and Mexican affairs, the President last ntht authorized the statement that be had kven no such interview. The cable said that Gabriel Alphaud eecretairc-entral of the Temps, ha interviewed the PresWent, who was quoted as sayinpr that "the war wi not last forever," and that nations might be triad when it was over tha the L'nitcd States had pursiif-d th course now brinir followed. The al lped interview included references to neutrality and to the Mexican aitu ation. The President let it be known that Af. Alphaud, who was presented at th White House yesterday by the French Ambassador, came merely to presen hi respects, and, although he was sec rctaire-Keneral of the Paris Tempa, it was distinctly understood, in advanci with the Ambassador present that there was to be no interview. The statement also was authorized at the White House that President Wil on had sent no letter recently t President Poineare, as suggested by M. Alphaud, but that the letter to which reference was made was sent several months ago by Mr. Wilson as a membe of the American Academy of Arts an letters, in reply to one of Preiden Poineare, of the French Academy, brought to this country in per son by Entile Bneux, the French play wright. The letter was made public a the time. White House officials called, and contained, only felicitation of a general character. Jules Jusserand, the French Ambae pador. retired early tonight and em bassy officials would not disturb him when dispatches containing the alleged Interview In the Tempa arrived. The payment of this sum by the men was arranged for by the attorneys of both sides with the sanction of Judge Sulzberger, on January 29 last, in order that the old women might not be left peuniless. In return the accused re ceived verdicts of not guilty. Following the Courts arrangement the money was turned over to Freder ick T. Chandler, of Chandler Brothers, to hold in trtiet for Miss Krager. It remained in his care until 10 days ago, when it was deposited in the Frank ford bank. For years the sisters worked in Ken- sing-ton weaving mills until they hsd saved enough to start a little damask weaving establishment of their own. As time went on more looms and helpers were added and the Kragera gained a reputation for the excellence of their goods. Then along came Stewart, who also is known as "Paper Collar Joe" and "fc?ir John Gray," and Shea, alias James W. Hannum," "Micky Shea" and James St. German." Representing themselves as brokers, it was charged, U they induced the sisters to oool their interests and "invest' $18,000.

PARIS. April 2. Uabriel Alphnud, aeeretaire-general of the Tempo, who was introduced to President Wilson at the. White House on Wednesday by the French Ambassador in Washington, has sent to the Temps an interview which be nays he had with the Presi dent. "I am glad to see on American soil." President Wilson is quoted as having aid. "Frenchmen who come to satisfy themselves as to the state of opinion In the United States. You will not re ceive an impression. I am sure, that wil! jive you cause reasonably to com plain of that opinion. "Definite questions are at times con idered by France or others of the belligerent countries as proof that the American Government favors some times one and sometimes the others of the combatants. The two groups of belligerent nations complain of the at titude of the American Government in equally vigorous terms. iJach time one of these cases arises Is it not proof that the Government of the United States is conscientiously observing the rules or neutrality? "The Germans or the allies may at times find that we are exacting that the American Government sticks too closely to these rules. The war wil: not last forever.- When it is finished such or such a nation will perhaps lie glad that we have maintained the Tules against which she protests today. "France will avoid the error of be lieving what individuals of the peoples In the conflict often think that is, that he who is not actively for them Is against them. As to my own sen timents regarding France. I addressed a letter to the President of the French Republic that expresses them clearly. Be sure that I do not think anything less than what that letter says." . SI. Alphaud saw he asked President Wilson if the contemplated Increase in the American Army and Navy had any precise object, and that the President replied: "No, augmentation has been retard ed rather tm hurried by current vents. Wefleslre to avoid false Inter pretations." Asked if an early end of the Mexican trouble could be hoped for, President Wilson is reported to have said: "It is indeed difficult to reply. A fa vorable symptom appears, however, in the last indications received here. They how a better disposition on the part of the principal Mexican chiefs to un derstand why they have to respect the lives and Interests of foreigners." elusion that she had been swindled, she gave Klmer Wolf, alias Elmer Mil ler, $15,600 more to recover the first amount, but she never saw him again. With the savings of more than 40 years gone the women were reduced to destitution. Josephine became a phy sical wreck, while Augusta, 65 yeare old. and the third sister went Into the mill to work the looms themselves. Hard times came and business became dull. But the sisters labored on, al though their hearts were not in their work. "It was no time to begin all over again at our ages," said Miss Augusta me otner day. Much of the $10,000, Miss Josephine says, must be paid out on debts con tracted for the operation of the mill during those five years, and so there Movement jn Dominion New Brunswick and Nova Scotia - Consider Taking Action.

At the arrival of the po lice the thieves were aroused. They leaped from the windows and climbed over the back fence into Lynch 's yard. One of the men crouched in & corner near the fence, while the other hid in an outhouse. Then the police, under the direction of the lawyer, arrested the man hiding in the yard. He gave his name as Bernard McLaughlin, 27 years old. The police were searching the out house when the voice of Miss Lynch was heard in the front part of her home. The police Tushed there, as did Lynch,' from the second floor. They found her grapling with & man. She held him until the police arrived. The prisoner gave his name as, Joseph Phillips, 19 years old. . . The third member of the party was then seen in the yard of Mrs. Scheimer- dine. Attracted by the commotion of the arrest of the first man, she had come to the rear door of her home. As she stood at the door the man ran up the steps and pushed the door open, knocking her down. He ran through the house and out to the street. Following him were Lieutenant Lit tle and six patrolmen. The police fired volley after volley, and at last he threw up his hands and surrendered. His name was given as Frank Herman, 27 years He said he had no home. When the police reached him he fell on the pave meat unconscious. It was several hours before he revived at the North western General Hospital. The adventure in no wise affected Miss Lynch's composure, and a short time later she was laughing. Mrs. Shel merdlne was treated by a physician, but was found to be only slightly bruised. A careful search of the prisoners dis closed nothing of value.

Schwartz, of Portland, the In terior Department has issued patents to Frank Jenkins, Lorenzo L. Broyles and Ruth E. Darnell, widow of Robert Dar nell, for heavily timbered lands in, Lewis County, Washington. These claims are sorr.o of what have been popularly known as the timber land homestead cases that have been fought through the Interior Department for the past five or six years." Each of the three entrymen named filed a homestead entry in 1902. The lands were known to be 4ieavily tim bered, but the entrymen in good faith complied with the requirements of the homestead law, only to And protests lodced against their entries by the For est Service because their lands were embraced within the Cascade National fcrest several years after the home stead filings were made. Assistant Secretary Adams, of the Interior Department, held these entries for cancellation and ruled that lands chiefly valuable for timber could not be homesteaded. This was a reversal of the rulings of the Department for many years. The ease was appealed, however, when the Administration changed, and notwithstanding the recommendations of the Forest bervice. the Adams decision has been reversed by the present Interior Department, which holds that timber lands may be homesteaded provided the entryman is able to comply with all the require ments of the homestead law. The Darnell entry is of particular in terest in view of the fact that the entryman settled on his land 26 years ago and died of old age before he could secure " patent from the Government. His patent went to his widow. ISK THIS COUPON! 30 EXTRA Bring this coupon and get SO extra "S. : H." Trading Stamps on your first 1 cash pur chnoe and double Btamps on the balance of purchase.

Conley Returns From Chicago, Where He Attended Inquest Which Found Death Due to Homicide. More firmly convinced than ever that C. F. Baxmyer, of Portland, came to his death on a train near Aurora, 111., on March 11, at tne hands of a murderer, .Tames F. Conley, attorney for Mr. Bax myer, returned to Portland Thursday night after attending the tnquest at Chicago, which was postponed from March 11 to March 26. He went into all the circumstances brought to light by the authorities and paid special atten tlon to the details of the case. The ver dict of the Coroner's jury was that the case was one of homicide. "Evidence points to one of the train men as the murderer," said Mr. Conley. "The officers are investigating the matter thoroughly and there seems to be nothing further to be done until something of a more conclusive nature Is brought to light- We are going to the bottom of the matter, even if it takes a year, and we expect to find tha man who committed the deed and see that he is punished for his crime." The inquest revealed that about $175 had been taken from Mr. Baxmyer's pockets following the shooting. This money was carried In his inside vest pocket- A letter was found that he had written about 9 o'clock on the morning of March 11, within two hours 6f the time his body was found. In this letter he spoke cheerfully of his trip and showed not the slightest note of despondency. That he committed suicide could not be believed by those investigating his death. The crime must have been committed near Aurora, 111., it was developed, not long after 9 o'clock in the morning. The camera with which Mr, Baxmyer had been taking pictures along the way was picked up near his body and two negatives it contained were developed. They merely showed scenes snapped on the way East. the Central Labor Council, met yester day afternoon at the Commercial Club and prepared a report of the confer ence which will be submitted to the County Commissioners today.
