Dis trict Attorney, BY PRESIDENT'S SANCTION Appointment Will Be Made by Judge Bellinger, TENURE DURING FRAUD TRIALS As Government Prosecutor Is a Demo crat It Is Apparent Thai. Adminis tration Is After Results Un biased by Politics. Francis J. Heney, It is announced, will be appointed United States District At torney, to succeed John H. Hall, by Judge Bellinger, of the United States Court, when that tribunal meets tomorrow after noon at 2 o'clock. , Mr. Heney has been for some time, and now is. In charge of the Investigations being made by the Federal grand jury into the land frauds of the state. Upon his arrival In Portland more than a month ago he came as a special assistant to the Attorney-General of the United States, sent here ostensibly to assist Mr. Hal, the District Attorney, in the con duct of the conspiracy cases about to be tried ngainst S. A. D, Puter, Horace G. McKinley and others, but it soon devel oped that it was Heney who was to have 1 charge of the cases and to conduct the course of the trial. After the first three days he came to the foreground, and has been the center of the transactions grow- i ing out of the work of the grand Jury since that time. When the grand jury was called by I Mr. Hall, iMr. Heney was appointed a regular deputy to the District Attorney, resigning his position as si. special as sistant in the Department of Justice. This change was made in order to give Mr. Heney the right and power to appear be fore the grand jury and conduct the cause of the Government in the sessions of that body. Heney the Senior Deputy. Upon the removal of Mr. Hall, it was understood that Mr. Heney would have full charge of the office, especially insofar as the land-fraud investigations were con cerned, and that while he was in the city he was to have the nominal control of the office, as being- the senior deputy in point of years, though not la point of service in this particular office. W. W. Banks. Mr. Hall's deputy, was to have assumed, In practice, the same relative position he bad formerly held when Mr. Hall was In charge. The announcement of Mr. Heney's im pending appointment to the vacant place shows that President Roosevelt and the Administration Is earnestly back of the investigations now under way, and that neither politics nor precedent will be al lowed to stand in the path of the Gov ernment's case and in the establishment of justice. The appointment. It is understood, will be 'made by Judge Bellinger upon the di rect suggestion of Attorney-General Moody, and with the sanction of the President. It will be of Interminate length, expiring at the pleasure of the President, who. of course, may appoint some one to the office permanently as soon as he desires to send a nominee's name to Congress. It is the supposition, however, that Mr. Heney's tenure of office will last in pro portion to the length of the land-fraud investigations now in progress, and per haps to the length of the trials resultant from them. Mr. Heney is in charge of the land investigations, and his appoint ment was made in order to make certain and definite the legality of his course in shaping the cause of the Government be fore the grand jury. Until End of Trials. It Is presumably certain, therefore, that no change will be made after Mr. Heney Is once In authorized control of the of fice until he has completed Ihe principal part of his work. If, on the other hand, some person should arise as a candidate for the place whose aid and advice would be of great assistance to Mr. Heney in the cohduct of the trials, and who Is in line for the appointment from a political standpoint, it Is probable that the change might bo made. Otherwise it is safe to presume that Mr. Heney will be the Dis trict Attorney until he has. finished his labors In Oreson. The fact that the new appointee Is a" Democrat, and not a member of the ma jority party. Is another significant thing in his having been named for the va cancy. It shows that politics has ceased, apparently, to be a factor for the time being, and that the Administration is af ter results, whatever may be the belief politically of those who are engaged in bringing to light and punishment the persons who have been guilty of swindling the United States out of its public domain. FIERCE CHINESE FEUD. Two Celestials Fight, and Then "Highbinder" Is Charged. Serious trouble Is feared by the police as the result of a fierce fight between "Wan Ling'and Ah Ling, which took place at Second and Oak streets late yesterday afternoon. It resulted In the arrest of both Chinese, who will have to explain their actions to Municipal Judge Hogue tomorrow. Open threats of vengeance have been made by the Chinese, and the police are keeping a close watch on them, fearin they will murder each other, or at least make an attempt- The trouble started over the accusation by Wan Ling that his son had been robbed of $600 by Ah Ling. The latter grew, so angry when charged with the theft that he attacked the old man, and they fought within the shadows of ponce neaaquaners uaui tasen into custody by Policemen Hillyer and Wen- dorfj Aars crowd had gathered to watch the fight, and thert? was plenty 01 excitement, lor the Chinese fought desperately, each felling the other to the ground -several times. Inside the station, while being booked hv. Captain Gritzmacher. both Chinese vowed they would have revenge. The one repeatedly charged thfe other with, the theft, while the accused man hurled back emphatic denials, and declared tho ac cuser was a highbinder, sent here from San Francisco for the purpose of mur dering Jung Suns, said to he the Chinese who Informed Sheriff "Word regarding- the recent operations of fantan games on Second street, between Pine and Taylor. This is not the first time, according to the police, that Ah lAng has been la trou ble. He is declared to "be the roan who was arrested at Heppner Junction short ly after the great flood there, for the mur der of a1- fellow-countryman, who wa3 robbed and whose body was found later. He was killed by belns,bcaten over the head with a stone.. "With Ah Ling another Chinaman was arrested, but whllo In carcerated in the Jail, he hung himself, and the result was the subsequent rclea-?e of Ah Ling. The murdered man was robbed of COCO, which sum ho had saved from his earnings. He was bound for his native land at the time. GERMAN MTNEES MAY STEIKE Demand Reduction of Hours in Rhen ish Westphalia. BERLIN'. Jan. 7. Meetings of the rep resentatives of 200,000 miners employed in the mines of the Rhenish "Westphallan Coal Syndicate, are being held throughout the district regarding the silence of the members of the syndicate on the work men's request for a different system of measuring the hours of work. Tho mines are under Individual company manage ment, the whole allotted product being; marketed by the syndicate. Two hundred and fifty men in one mine refused to work today, but a general strike is not yet in imminent prospect, although the minexs are embittered by tho long controversy. The miners ask that tho hours of work: shall be measured from the time of ar rival at the pit's mouth until they reach the pit's mouth on returning. Instead of from reaching the work gallery until ceasing to work. The men affirm thai. it takes often 43 minutes each way, going into and leaving the deep sunk shafts. They ask for the first year a nine-hour day, for the second eight and one-quarter hours, and for the third year and there after eight hours, calculated between get ting Into and coming out of the entrance. The miners aver that the diggings are more unhealthy than ever, and that 53 per cent ol the men are now diseased. The public generally is deeply interested in the result of the dispute. The coal syndicate's contract, which went into effect in April, 1904, for 12 years fixes the allotment of each mine for the entire period. The result Is that the powerful mining companies are mining economically, buy ing up the weaker ones and closing them. The workmen of the small mines are forced to sell their cottages at a sacrifice and move to large mines. There are government representatives at the meetings of the miners, and po lice and troops are held ready to sup press disturbances. Only one mine is affected by the strike and the miners' leaders are making every effort to confine it there, in order to have the financial support of - the other miners. They hope that a victory in this Instance will serve as a precedent. The number of strikers is 550. BIRDS HAD FLOWN. Chicago Police Raid Office of Bogus Idaho Colony Company. CHICAGO, Jan. 7. The police today raided the offices of the Idaho Colony Company and the Oreano-Minlng- Com pany, Limited, of Wallace, Idaho. When the police arrived the entrance was crowded with persons waiting for in formation how to secure 320 acres of Government land in Idaho for 550. The door leading to the offices of the com pany was locked, and Albert P. Hunter, said to be the manager, could not be found. Attorney M. Rossen was among the persons awaiting the opening of the offices. "Hunter called on me several days ago." said Rossen, "and attempted to interest me to the extent of purchasing $500 worth of stock in the company. He said if I would purchase mining stock he would make mo general agent in Chicago." The scheme regarding the staking of homesteads in- Idaho has been operated for a month, according to the police. The plan was to advertise for 300 men, each to secure 320 acres of Government lands in Idaho. The prospectus stated that tho Idaho Colony Company would take 300 men to Idaho when the Gov ernment opened a parcel of land to colonization. It further stated that the company would furnish the 300 men -with employment, and that tne land would be invaluable when irrigation trenches were run. MILLIONS FOE WIDOW. Will of W. W. Kimball Gives Her $2,000,000. CHICAGO, Jan. 7. The will of W. W. Kimball, bequeathing over ?2,00O,O0O to the widow. Eva M.
