This was Oregon day at the White House, all right. At 10:30 the President decapitated W. F. 3Iatthcws and appointed Charles J. Reed to succeed him as United States Marshal for Oregon. At 11 he Indicated his preference that Judge William H. Hunt, of Montana, should sit in the land trials at Portland and decided that, for the time being, no successor to Judge Bellinger should be appointed. At 11:30 the President sent for Vice-President Fairbanks and re quested him to be his representative at Portland at the opening of the Lewis and Clark Exposition of June 1. At 11:43 the President declared his willingness, in fact his eagerness, to press the button which will open the Lewis and Clark Exposition. At noon the President appointed Assist ant Secretary of the Treasury H. A. Tay lor chairman of the Lewis and Clark Gov enrment Board. He then went to lunch. Out or Harmony With Prosecution. The removal of Mr. Matthews was not unlooked for.. It had "been anticipated or several months, and would have oc curred before the President went West, had it not been that the President wanted to be sure he was right before he acted. Mr. Matthews is removed for virtually the same reason that John Hall some months ago was let out of the office of District Attorney. According- to Attorney-General Moody, Mr. Matthews was dismissed because Dis trict Attorney Heney reported that he (Matthews) waa entirely out of har mony with the Administration In" the prosecution of the land-fraud that he was on too friendly terms with some of the defendants, and that at every opportunity he had and would probably continue to Interpose obsta cles which would make the prosecution of the Oregon officials most difficult. Heney's Reasons Strong. No details of Heney's complaint arc made public and none will be made public, but his report, which lias been in the hands of the Attorney-General for several days, was so strong and convincing that the President prompt ly ordered Mr. Matthews' removal when the Attorney-General read the letter to him this morning. So Important did the Attorney-General consider this case that he went to the White House with the papers the very first thing. He and the President were agreed that Mr. Heney and other offi cers charged with the prosecution of Senator Mitchell and others should have every aid the Government could render them and that every known ob stacle should bo- removed from their way. Mr. Matthews' past relations with Senator Mitchell were a strong argu ment in support of Mr. Heney's recom mendation. But whatever the report, the President did not ask for further evidence: it satisfied him and off went Mr Matthews head. Heed Appointed Conditionally. When the President signed the order removing Mr. Matthews, the Attorney General laid before him the formal ap pointment of Charles J. Reed, of Port land, as Marshal. The Attorney-General assured the President he was satisfied Mr Reed was a proper and competent man for this place, that he would be free from bias, beyond influence and would loyally work with the prosecu tion m the pending land trials. Mr. Reed was recommended solely toy Mr. Heney. The President accepted Mr. Moody's assurance, and forthwith signed Mr. Reed's commission. Mr. Reed's appointment is in a sense conditional. It is not determined as yet whether he will be allowed to retain the Marshalship after the land trial case is concluded. Much will depend pn how he conducts himself while the trials are in progress. If he "makes good," and the President is pleased with him, it 1s more than probable that vVis nomination will be cent to the Sen ate next Winter for confirmation, but. If ho should fall down, or if there should be a loud outcry against him and ample reasons should be presented why he should not permanently hold this office, he may be retired at the conclusion of the trials and some other person appointed in his stead. This lat ter course, however, seems improbable. MATTHEWS IS -RETICENT. Not Ready to Talk Just Now Regard- ing His Removal. While the removal' of United States Marshal "Jack" Matthews has been a thing expected, his actual removal by the President yesterday was a great sur prise to Matthews himself and a shock to his friends. Before and even since Francis J. Heney made his trip to Wash ington, there was considerable talk about his removal. From Washington came the news that President Roosevelt had taken the matter In hand. There was a -conference by the President. Attorney General Moody and United States District Attorney Heney, but further than declar ing that 'Matthews would be given. & chance to prove that lie was not blocking the prosecution in the land-fraud cases, ntfthing was dose with reference to his removal. Matthews enemies, however, were net- still, and Instead of giving up hopes of his removal, they continued their efforts to have the President take action. There will be many to claim that they are the special one who secured his scalp. Among these will be Captain Spencer, for It is known that Captain Spencer had wa gered that Matthews would be removed on, a certain date. Captain Spencer bet 5100 that "Jack" Matthews would be out of office by April 21. When he lost this bet he wagered another $100 that he would toe removed by May 21. The first bet he last, but the second lie won. Matthews first learned of his removal through the newspapers, as he -did not receive his telegram from Attorney-General Moody until after 12 o'clock. When told of the action of the Department of Justice, Matthews at once knew what was coming, and laid the blame on Mr. Heney. As soon as the news of his removal reached his friends the telephone at the (Marshal's office was kept busy. Last night Matthews held a long- conference with his friends. An effort was made- to get Matthews to talk of his removal and of his future plans, but he explained that he was not ready to say anything at this time. "I was not surprised at my removal," -he- said, last night, "but I was surprised at the. manner in which I received tne notice. The newspapers knew of it for some time before I. received the telegram from Attorney-General Moody. There has been nothing in my official career that anyone could point a finger at that would call for my removal.- What my future plans will be I have not yet decided. I am satisfied that while I -was United States Marshal I gave the Government' the best of my services." HEHHRHY FOR 111 TIME FIRST ENTERED BONDS FORTY FIVE YEARS AGO. Frank H. Hump's Wife Granted Divorce Twice and Relents Each Time. KANSAS CITY. May 13. Frank H. Kump, capitalist, and Lucrctla Kump were married today for the Jthlrd time. For.ty-flve years ago they were first mar ried. They bad five children, one of them, Frank P. Kump, being now 39 years old. In January. 1893. Mrs. Kump was given a divorce from her husband and he set tled upon her property and money to the extent of $73,000. One week after they were married the second time and lived together four years, then Kump left his home and during his absence he gave checks on his bank aggregating $40,000. The family searched for him and finally located him through the checks. For this escapade Mrs. Kump got another divorce from him in 1S97 and they have lived apart ever since. For the sake of the children they decided to remarry. Kump Is said to be worth a .quarter of a million. Morgan May Buy Art Gallery. FLORENCE. Italy. May 13. When J. oaerSHlerpoht Morgan was here last April the moor was circulated that he was nego tiating for the purchase of an art gal lery bcyonglng to an old family. This report Is now revived with certain elab orations, the gallery being that of Mar telli. one of the richest in art treasures in Florence, comprising famous silver works attributed to Cellini and famous bas reliefs by Donatello and Verocchlo. It Is alleged that Mr. Morgan offered $400,000 for the collection, and that the owner asked $1,000,000. The government, learning that negotiations were In prog ress, ordered the police to keep a careful watch over the Martell! palace, as the art treasures contained in the gallery cannot be exported.

JUDGEOE HAVEN HILL TRY CASES Assigned by Judge Gilbert to Act Temporarily in Judge Bellinger's Place. NO APPOINTMENT AS YET Successor to Bead Jurist Will Not . Be Named "Until Land Frauds Are Disposed OfPrcsldent Wants Hunt Named. SAN FRANCISCO, May 13. United States Circuit Judge William B. Gilbert, Presiding Justice of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, has announced his intention of detailing United States District Judge DeHaven to the United States District Court at Portland. Or., to take the place -temporarily of the late Judge Bellinger of that court. Judge DeHaven will be requested to open the court on June 12, the date set for the trial of the land fraud cases, and proceed with the trial of the cases. Should a successor be appointed to Judge Bellinger, the new appointee may preside over the United States District Court in this city during Judge DeHaven's absence. JUDGE TO ACT TEMPORARILY President Decides lo Delay Naming Bellinger's Successor. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, D. C, May 13. The Attorney-General today called the President's attention to the death of Judge Bellinger. Both he and thePresldent exceedingly regret this event, not only because they held Judge Bellinger in high esteem, but because he had been In constant touch with the Ore gon land fraud cases, was Intimately ac quainted with all the details and had a more comprehensive Idea of the caees soon to be tried than any other Judge could possibly have. For that reason they were satisfied that Judge Bellinger could better handle these cased than any man who may be selected. Jn- his place. The President and Attorney-General both believe that. In view of the situa tion in Oregon, the gravity of the cases soon to toe tried and the difficulty that -would toe encountered in picking the right man to succeed Judge Bellinger, It would toe Inadvisable to fill his office for the present. This being a life position, the President says the utmoat caution must be used and that no mistake must be made. It was agreed that it would be risky. Indeed Imprudent, to attempt to fill this Judgeship before the land trials begin and in all probability no appoint ment will be made until the trials are concluded, a there would be objection to making an appointment while the trials are under way before another Judge. Whoever Is eventually appointed will be an Oregon man, a permanent resident of that state and a man high In the profession. Not the Place, for Heney. It was suggested to the Attorney-Gea-eral that District Attorney Heney- might be rewarded, but it was promptly ex plained that Mr. Heney Is not a-resident of Oregon, therefore not eligible to the Judgeship. Furthermore, the Department of Justice thinks Mr. Heney Is In his right place as District Attorney.' and will keep him there. The President told the Attorney-General that 'something would have to be done In order that Senator Mitchell. Rep resentatives Hermann and Williamson and those Indicted with them may be tried as soon as the court moves back Into Its own quarters. It Is the Presi dent's Intention that these trials shall be pressed to a speedy conclusion: that there shall be no unnecessary delays. This being his decision. Circuit Judge Gilbert will be expected to designate some Dis trict Judge in the Ninth Circuit to pre side during the land trials at Portland, and in the nature of events will probably have to choose between Judge William H. Hunt, of Montana, and Judge DeHa ven, of San Francisco. Hunt Is Roosevelt's Choice. Judge Hunt, late Governor of Porto Rico and appointed to his present post by President Roosevelt, is known to be the preference of the President, and his designation to sit In the land trials is looked for. He Is a lawyer of exceptional ability, and being a Western man, he has a general knowledge of the land laws and their violations and is regarded by the Department of Justice as the best man who could be selected to sit in Judge Bellinger's court. Furthermore Judge Hunt Is a very close personal friend of (Concluded on Page 8.) CONTENTS TODAY'S PAPER The Weather. TODAY'S Showers. South to west winds. YESTERDAY'S Maximum temperature.

The President told him of his deep Inter est In the Lewis and Clark Exposition and his regret that he himself could not attend the opening of It.

SHEA DECLARES HIS POLICY Notice That Teamowners Will De liver to Boycotted Flrins Calls . Forth Tlireat to Strike. Food 3Iay Be Scarce. CHICAGO, May 13. The strike of ' teamsters is expected to spread rapidly; during" the next week. At a meeting held tonight between the Teamsters! Joint Council, which is the governing body of the local unions of the team sters, and representatives of the Team owners" Association, the Litter In formed the representatives of the team sters that tne conditions of their busi ness made It necessary for them to make deliveries to houses which had been boycotted by the union, and that they would do so next week, heedless of whether or not a strike existed, at such places. The council was urged to agree to this procedure and avert a general strike. After an extended debate among ita members the Teamsters Council decid ed that It -would not agree to the de livery cf goods to any of the boycotted, houses by union teamsters, and that strikes would be called whenever a man was discharged for refusing tq deliver goods. President Shea said: "Our policy in dealing with the mem bers of the Chicago Teamowners Asso ciation is the same as that used la dealing with other employers of team sters. If they want a strike, all they have to do is to begin delivering to the houses that have been put under the ban. If they do, we will give them all the strike they want. "I'm not golne to call a general strike no one will do that; but any one looking- for a fight will ;ret it. IC the teamowners would rather work; with scabe and police, why, lot them. We are In this fight to win. Anything; that gets In the way will get run over4 This action meanjttcticpjlyall' of the truckdrivero in We Sity-will be on strike within a few days and, that deliveries between many houses not now affected by the strike will be cut off. There Is also great danger that the city's supply of food may be seriously curtailed, for the reason that the mem- bers of the Teamowners' Association do the major part of the hauling for the commission-houses in South Water street, through which passes tne city's supply of fresh vegetables. Members of. the Teamsters' Council announced after their meeting that they confidently expected that the strike would now spread until It .in volved every union teamster in the city. Carriage-Drivers May Go Out. " Ii. addition to refusing the requests of the Teamowners' Association, tho Teamsters' Joint Council tonight took action that may cause a general strike of all the carriage and hearse drivers In the city. The Liveryman's Associa tion, an organization of employers, re quests the' council to order the drivers to deliver passengers at their destina tion instead of stopping at some dis tance from a store. The council refused to do this and announced that, if the liverymen did not recede from their position, a general strike of all drivers, including heursedrivers would be. called. Othr than the excitement caused by the report that the strike was likely, to become more widespread on Monday, the situation today was practically un changed. The funeral of Charles Pierce, who was shot to death by one of Sheriff . Barrett's men, will be held tomorrow. It is said that 30,000 union teamsters will follow the body to the grave.
