"PRIVATE SPIES NOT

Offers of Organizations Cour
teously Turned Down.
WORTHY MOTIVES ASSUMED
Espionage by' Private Individuals
Held Contrary to American
Theory of Government.
WASHINGTON, March 31. Private
organizations offering to continue dur
ing peace the espionage work under
taken during the war to protect the
public safety were informed today by
Attorney-General Palmer that the de
partment of Justice would not recog
nize them or have any connection with
them, official or semi-official.
"Espionage conducted by private in
dividuals or organizations," Mr. Palmer
said in announcing his decision, "is en
tirely at variance with our theories of
government and Its operation In any
community constitutes a grave menace
to that feeling of public confidence
which is the chief force making for the
maintenance of good order."'
Appreciation of the "patriotic and
high-minded motives" actuating the of
fers was expressed by the attorney
general. The traditional policy of the
department which caused refusal of the
tendered services was explained in the
following statement:
Services Are Volunteered
"During the past two months my
department has received communica
tions from a number of private organ
izations calling attention to the fact
that they have been formed for the pur
pose of systematically detecting viola
tions of law and courteously offering
to supply the department of Justice
with information of this character gath
ered by them.
"It will be impossible for my depart
ment to have any connection, official or
semi-official, with these organizations.
This department welcomes at all times
Information which is germane to its
work from whatever source It may
come. It has been the traditional pol
icy of this department, however.
grounded on sound reasons, not to con
fer its sanction upon private organiza
tions and not to establish with them
any relations of an official or semi
official character.
' One Exception la Cited.
"The only exception to this long-es
tablished policy, if it can be called an
exception, was the formation during
the war of the American protective
league, which was organized with the
approval of the attorney-general and
operated under the direct supervision
of the bureau of investigation of this
department
"During the war there was need for
such an auxiliary to this department
and the members of the American pro
tective league rendered service of the
greatest value. Nevertheless, my prede
cessor. Attorney-General Gregory, re
quested that this organization be dis
banded and. in conformance to his
wishes, it went out of existence on Feb
ruary 1. It was his view. In which
I heartily concur, that no organization,
even of this type, should receive of
ficial recognition from this department
in time of peace.
Private Spying Disapproved.
"Espionage conducted by private in
dividuals or organizations is entirely
at variance with our theories of gov
ernment and its operation in any com
munity constitutes a grave menace to
that feeling of public confidence which
is the chief force making for the main
tenance of good order. Furthermore,
on reflection. It must be obvious to
everyone that for a government agency
to maintain any relations whatever
with private bodies engaged in this
work would in the end result in im
pairing the confidence of the public in
the disinterestedness and impartiality
of government investigations.
"I fully realize the patriotic and
high-minded motives with which these
organizations have been formed and
which have animated them In making
proffers of assistance to this depart
ment, but 1 am constrained to eay
frankly that I fear the work of these
private organizations may produce
harmful results. I therefore feel com
pelled to instruct the various officials
of this department not to enter into
relationship with them."

LAND OVVXEKS KXFLAIX STAND
Declaration Made to State Depart
ment Is Adhered To.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. March 3L The
owners of the California-Mexico Land
& Cattle company's property in Lower
California still adhere to a declaration
made to the Btate department in 191V
that they will not "under any circum
stances make any lease of any kind to
Japanese where colonization is prob
able until we are first authoritatively
Informed that such an agreement will
be entirely agreeable to the govern
ment of our own country."
This was announced here today by
Harry Chandler, president of the com
pany. Mr. Chandler's statement was as fol
lows: "So far as the alleged pending sale
of California-Mexico Land & Cattle
company's property in Lower Cali
fornia to a Japanese syndicate is con
cerned, the owners of the land are
still adhering to the declaration made
by them to the secretary of state in
February, 1917. in connection with the
proposed lease of a comparatively
small section of the company's hold
ings to Japanese tenants. The follow
ing is an extract from a letter written
by me as president of the company
and concurred in by the stockholders
of that company, dated February 23,
1917, to the department of Btate at
Washington:
"While my company is anxious to
secure these reliable tenants, amply
financed, to help develop our property
in Mexico, we are first of all American
citizens and do not wish to make any
move which could In any way prejudice
a question which always appears to be
a subject for agitation between the
two countries.
"We will not, under the circum
stances, consider making any lease of
this kind to Japanese, where coloniza
tion is probable, until we are first au
thoritatively informed that such ar
rangement will be agreeable to the
government of our own country. We
believe that most of the Japanese labor
for this enterprise will come from the
Pacific coast states and thus relieve to
some extent the pressure at fhia class
of people now in the Un'lad i ates and
will be an advantage rather th&n a dis
advantage.
"During these ticklish times we, as ,
large laud owners in Mexico, are de- I
termlned to use scrupulous car In hav
ing this matter thoroughly threshed
out In advance.'
"The main body of the letter recited
all the details of the proposed lease
and the portion quoted still expressed
the attitude of the owners of the prop-
erty. I desire to call attention to an
error in the statement made by the
Mexican assistant secretary of fomento.
General Amado Aguierre. as reported
in the Associated press dispatches
dated March 29. to the effect that the
California-Mexico Land & Cattle com
pany's titles came through a conces
sion from the former Mexican govern
ment. "Neither the California-Mexico Land
sc Cattle company nor its grantors ever
asked for or received any concessions
for any portion of the lands now held
by our company from the government
of Mexico. The lands our company
owns and controls were acquired by
direct purchase for cash at the full
price asked from the Mexican govern
ment and no concessions of any kind
ever were asked for or received in con
nection with the purchase of our land
property.
"After our company took an option on
the land and before the purchase was
finally consummated, a most exhaust
ive search of the records of title, as
shown by the public records, was made
by trained title searchers, and the con
dition of our title, after this invest!
gation, was shown to be as above
stated, to-wlt, what we believe to be
the most perfect title in Mexico.
"The reference by the Mexican orn
clal to special concesssions made in
connection with the sale of these lands
must refer to lands adjoining ours.
which were secured by an American
syndicate headed by J. P. Morgan at
about the time that our lands were
purchased from the Mexican govern
ment. Their titles were secured
through a concession which sprovide
for special colonization efforts on the
part of the purchasing syndicate.
"Pastor Roulx, secretary of the Mexi
can fomento. visited Lower California a
year ago and a representative of, our
company offered a convey to Mexican
colonists at any reasonable price which
could be mutually agreed upon, such
acreage as might be required for Mexi
can colonization and, so far as we know,
a very satisfactory understanding ex
ists between ourselves and the Mexican
government's department of fomento
(interior).
"It is fair to say that the Japanese,
who were negotiating for a lease at
that time, took precisely the same stand,
as prospective tenants, that the own
ers of land took, to-wit: That they
did not desire to consummate the lease
unless it was perfectly agreeable to the
officials of our own state department-
"HARRY CHANDLER.
"President California-Mexico Land &
Cattle Company."
The property of the California-Mexico
Land & Cattle company, known on both
sides of the border as the C. M. ranch,
now comprises 830,000 acres running
from the international boundary to the
Gulf of California. It was originally
862.000 acres, but 32,000 acres were sold
to John Cudahy about seven years ago.
The west line of the property runs al
most due south from Calexico, thence
east across the head of the gulf to the
original bed of the Colorado river,
which forms the easterly boundary of
the tract The north line is the inter
national boundary. The whole tract
comprises the Mexican portion of the
Imperial valley, which valley is prac
tically all under irrigation canals and
susceptible of intensive cultivation.
CAPTAIN ALLAN FINISHES LONG
MUSH TO FAIRBANKS.
Youthful Seattle Explorer Fails in
Attempt to Sail Through North
west Passage.
SEATTLE. Wash., March 31. (Spe
cial.) Arriving In Fairbanks, Alaska,
after a long "mush" out from the Arc
tic, via the mouth of the Mackenzie
river. Captain Alexander Allan, old
time Arctic navigator, sent the follow
ing news by wire and cable to Seattle:
"Harold Noice, youthful Seattle ex
plorer, who formerly was a member of
the Stefansson expedition, has been de
feated in his daring attempt to sail
through the Northwest passage from
west to east, his schooner, the Chal
lenge, not proving stout enough for
the dangerous venture. He has sold
the Challenge to the Hudson Bay com
pany and the vessel is wintering in
Copper Mine river. Young Noice plans
to work his way eastward by dog team
until he reaches. Hudson bay and the
Atlantic In the meantime, however,
he will map the east coast of Victoria
land, a work that never has been un
dertaken before. He is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. H. S. Noice, 211 West Garfield
street."
The schooner Argo Is wintering in
Darnley bay. The Anna Olga is at Mar
tin Point and the Elsueno is laid up in
Barnard harbor. The Teddy Bear had
not been heard from since Captain Al
lan left the Arctic on his long hike
overland to Fairbanks.
In his message Captain Allan reports
that two blond Eskimos were arrested
by Corporal Conway of the royal north
west mounted police, charged with the
murder of a native woman whose body
had disappeared. The Eskimos were
discharged for lack of evidence.
Captain Allan left the Arctic coast
March 4 and made the mush from the
Mackenzie river over the Endicott
range down the Porcupine and thence
to Fairbanks in 26 days, following the
same route that he followed more than
a year ago when he arrived from Fair
banks unheralded.
HIGHER PURE IS DISCUSSED
SEATTLE FACES PROBLEM WITH
MUNICIPAL . OWNERSHIP.
Superintendent of City Utilities Con
fident Profit Can Be Made at
Old Five-Cent Rate.
SEATTLE, , Wash. March 31. (Spe
cial.) With the transfer to the city to
day of the Seattle Railway system, the
rate of fare to be charged became one
of the live questions. The matter has
been informally discussed, and the opin
ion expressed by some councilmen that
the city will have to charge more than
5 cents to break even on the transac
tion. One of the circumstances leading to
the city's offer to purchase the system
was the demand of the Puget Sound
Traction, Light & Power Company for
authority to increase fares to 7 cents,
and a showing was made that efficient
service coud not be maintained on a
5-cent fare.
At the request of the city council
Thomas F. Murphine, superintendent of
the utilities department, investigated
the company's earnings and a statement
was compiled purporting to show that
the system could profit on a 5-cent fare.
Superintendent Murphine is still stand
ing by his figures made last July.

Former Portland Resident 6ays
Americans' Intervention In Rus
sia Angers P.olshevikt.
Louise Bryant, who attracted some at
tention by appearing before the senate
inquiry commission and speaking kindly
of the bolshevik and the soviet govern
ment, wants American troops withdrawn
from Russian territory. There are no
Oregon boys with the American troops
in Russia, she explained at the Multno
mah Hotel, but there are many Michi
gan youths and the people of Michigan
are circulating petitions to have them
returned.
Miss Bryant, who uses that name more
generally than that of Mrs. John Reed,
states that she came west to visit her
mother in California and intended only
remaining in Portland two or three
days to visit her mother-in-law, Mrs. C.
J. Reed. However, someone wanted her
to deliver a public address and she was
much annoyed to find that a contro
versy arose as to whether she should
be permitted to speak in this or her
former home city.
American reporters are the only kind
permitted to attend meetings in Rus
sia, explained Miss Bryant, for the
Russian people love the Americans, but
they are losing this affection since
American troops have been there. Amer
ica will not receive Russian trade un
less the troops are withdrawn, she said.
In short, she contended, the Russians
should be permitted to woi'k out their
own salvation without interference from
America. "As to bloodshed, the sword
and the bullet well, look at the time
the United States had for four years
during the civil war while trying to de
termine what sort of government this
country should have," said Miss Bryant.
She said that Colonel Raymond Rob
bins, of the American Red Cross, who
was chairman of the Progressive national
convention in 1916, entertains views simi
lar to her own and that the colonel is
anxious for the development of America
and wants America to obtain the Rus
sian trade. Ambassador Francis she
characterized as loose-mouthed.
