R. & Co. With Offices Here. Hecent Post at Salt Lake. OMAHA, May 30. "Union Pacific di rectors will meet Wednesday and elect K. E. Calvin, now of the Oregon Short Line, to be president of the Union Pa ' oific Railroad," says the Omaha Even ing Bee. "'Mr. Calvin will succeed A. L. Mohl er. taking- office on July 1. He will, i.s Mr. Monies his had. have full au thority of president and will not be merely vice-president and general man ager, as has been suggested." Mr. Mahler to Retire July 1. T.. M. Orr, assistant to President Mohler. said that in absence of offi cial information, it was logical that Mr. Calvin would succeed Mr. Mohler. who is to retire July 1. President Mohler Is out of the city. Like Mr. Mohler. whera he will suc ceed, E. E. Calvin obtained a part of his early training in Portland. For two years, from 1904 to 1905, he vts vice-president and general manager of the O. R. & N. Company, with headquarters in this city; subse quently, for a period of 10 years, lie was vice-president and general mana ger of the Southern Pacific at San Francisco, with supervising authority over the Southern Pacific lines in Ore gon and was a frequent visitor to Port land. Work In Oreson Still Going On. Tt was with the close personal co operation of Mr. Calvin, that Robert E. Strahorn worked out the plans for the electrification of the ' Southern Pacific lines in the immediate vicinity of Port- land four yeors ago. This work now is partially complete and continues in progress. Mr. Calvin left the Southern Pacific a year ago to become vice-president and general manager of the Oregon Short Line, with headquarters at Salt Lake City, succeeding- the late W. H. . Bancroft. Ever since Mr. Mohler expressed his Intention to retire. Mr. Calvin has been regarded as his probable successor. It is understood, however, that J. D. Far rell, president of the O.-W. R. & N. Company would have been chosen Mr. Mohler's successor, had the Union Pa cific directois not been awareof Mr. Farrell's personal preferences for the Coast, where all his private interests are. In accepting the presidency of the Union Pacific, it would have been necessary for him to reside in Omaha. Rnllroad Experience Leng. Mr. Calvin is a native of Indiana and Is 6o years of age. His first railroad experience was as a telegraph, operator and subsequently as station agent for . various railroads in and around Indian apolis for a period of five years. Be-, ginning in 1882 he was with the Union Pacific as train dispatcher, conductor and yard mastar. Then, at the age of 29. hi became division superintendent of the Missouri Pacific, where he re mained for four years. He returned then to the Union Pacific and for four years was superintendent of the Idaho division. From 1895 to 1897 he served as general superintendent of the Inter national & Great Northern. Again he returned to the Union Pacific system, first as generaf superintendent and then as general manager of the Short Line. He came from the Short Line to Portland., and has been with either the Union Pacific system or the South ern Pacific ever since. HU-NAN JOINS REVOLUTION Chinese Province Declares Inde pendence of.

Death on Decoration Day Ends Life of Activity From Start of Re bellion to Present Famous Warrior Held Spotlight. WASHINGTON, May 30. Colonel John S. Mosby, the famous Confederate raider of the Civil War. died here to day after a long Illness. He was a native of Virginia and was 82 years old. Colonel Mosby's death, his physi cians said, was due solely to old age and he was conscious and Interested in what was going on about him until an hour before he passed away. Until six months ago, when he went into a sudden decline, he was a familiar sight about the streets of the capital, apparently vigorous despite his age. He will be buried at -bis ances tral home at Warrenton.' Va., probably Thursday and some survivors of his noted command will be his pallbearers. His death on Memorial day was af fecting to many. Death Often Dared. Colonel Mosby dared death more than 60 years ago when at the head of a band of a few hundred Confed erate raiders he rode up and down the Shenandoah Valley, capturing outposts, destroying supply trains and cutting off means of communication. It has been estimated that he often neu tralized the force of over 15,000 Fed erals in the valley. Born in Powhattan County. Va., De cember 6, 1833, and graduated from the University of Virginia in 1852, he was practicing law In Bristol, Va., when the war broke out and he began his career in the Confederate army. He proved his daring with such effect that he became a scout for General J. E. B. Stuart and led the celebrated raid around McClellan's army on the Chick ahominy. In Richmond a year later he recruited an independent cavalry troop which became famous as Mos by's Partisan Rangers. They became night riders and the terror of the Fed eral troops. Mosby's most brilliant exploit was the capture of General Stoughton. On March night In 1863 he. with 30 followers, rode through the Federal army to Fairfax Courthouse, only 15 miles from Washington, where General Stoughton was asleep. Although sur rounded by an army said to have been 17.000 strong, the rangers calmly kid naped the General, his staff and many sentries, and turned them over to the Confederate authorities at Culpepper without having lost a man. Mosby Friend of General Grant. General Grant once later saved Mosby from hanging, and two foes of the bat tlefield became staunch friends. Mosby stumped the state of Virginia for Grant during the Presidential cam palgn, and was rewarded with an ap pointment as Consul at Hongkong, a post which he held for seven years. When he returned to the United States Mosby called on the surviving mem bers of his rangers and, to his aston ishment, he found that a large per centage of them had become ministers. In parting their old Colonel said: "Well, boys, if you fight the devil like you fought the Yankees there will be something to record on judgment day.'

Conferees Likely to Have Hard Time Settling Differences Intention of Senate Measure Clouded by Words of Two Meanings. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. May 30. "The House of Rep resentatives will never agree to Sena tor Chamberlain's amendment to the Oregon & California land grant bill increasing the proportion of the pro ceeds from the sale of timber and lands to be paid to the state of Oregon and the land grant counties," said Repre sentative Ferris, vlhairman of the pub lic lands committee, after reading the amended bill today. "It is my Judg ment." he added, "that the House will not consent to give the state and the counties one cent more than is pro vided by the bill as it passe,! the House last Wednesday. Mr. Ferris' view is concurred in by Renresentative Lenroot. of Wisconsin. and . Representative Taylor, of Colo rado, who, with Mr. Ferris, win do m House members of the conference com mittee annointpd to compromise the differences between the House and Senate bills after the Senate votes tomorrow. Aetlon to Be Expected. Chairman Ferris, however, said he wouKl co-operate with Senator Cham berlain to expedite the final paesage of the. bill, and as soon as the bill is passed by the Senate tomorrow he will have it brought back to the Mouse ana sent Immediately to conference. How long the bill remains In conference, he says, will depend on how strongly Sen ator Chamberlain stands out for bis plan of apportioning the proceeds. If the conference committee deadlock on the apportionment, Mr. Ferris is quite confident the House will Instruct Its conferees to stand out for the terms of the House bill, and in this way force the Senate to abandon the Cham berlain amendment. While there is vioubt as to whom the Senate conferees will be. Senator Chamberlain will be one of them, and he will be the only membeo of the Ben ate conference " thoroughly familiar with the bill. The failure of the Sen ate public lands committee to give the bill more than cursory examination nd the lack of general interest in the legislation may handicap Senator Chamberlain in the conference commit tee, although he is hopeful of at leaet forcing the House to meet him half way on the distribution of the receipts. He realizes the practical impossibility of expecting the House to accept his amendment in its entirety.

There is today considerable dispute as to the percentage of receipts Sena tor Chamberlain really intends to give the counties having port district, the language of his amendment admitting of two interpretations. The Senator was not at his office today, and his real purpose could not be learned. As the amendment Is read by some. It pro poses to give the port district coun ties 30 per cent of the receipts from lands in those respective counties and give the port districts an additional 20 per cent of the same receipts, but as the amendment is read by others it gives the port counties 30 per cent of the receipts in those counties, the counties in turn to give over to the port districts one-fifth, or 20 per cent, of what they themselves receive under the 30 per cent allotment. Grammari ans of the House contend that the lat ter interpretation is correct, although It Is evident the former was the in tention, for otherwise the counties hav ing port districts would get less than the counties having no port districts. Whatever the intention, the language of the amendment will have to be per fected when the bill comes before the Senate tomorrow. Chairman Ferris further said the House would resist Senator Chamber lain's timber sale amendment and In sist upon selling the timber for cash or on time. If sales are all made for cash. Chairman Ferris thinks much of It will be sacrificed. The Forest Serv Ice also, he believes, will oppose this amendment.

Bulletin No. 2 Why We Are Opposing A Government Armor Plant To the People: ' Some people say that the very fact that the Bethlehem Steel Company is so aggres sively fighting the proposal to build a Government armor plant is conclusive proof -that the Company is seeking to assure for itself the "vast profits" derived from private manufacture. The fact is that armor making is the least profitable feature of steel manufacture. The reason we oppose a Government p!ant is very simple. It is this : Even though there is but little profit in the making of armor, we have in vested over $7,000,000 in our armor plant. That plant is useless for any other purpose ; if a Government plant is built the usefulness of our plant is destroyed. It would be good business for us to make armor for the Govern ment at any price over and above the actual shop cost, RATHER THAN SACRIFICE OUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. We do not seek to save big profits ; our purpose is very frankly to save our armor plants itself built solely for ths use of the Government from going o the scrap heap. To do that, we are prepared to agree for any period to any terms of manufacture which the Federal Trade Commission shall say absolutely protects the Government of the United States. CHAS. M. SCHWAB. Chairman EL GENE G. GRACE, President Bethlehem Steel Company
