TREATMENT OF CHINESE
Asks for Such Legislation as Will
Promqte Harmony Between China
and America in the Future
and Foster Trade.
WASHINGTON'. June 24. That the
threats of the commercial guilds of
China to boycott American goods has
raised a serious question in the. minds of
this country's business men and manu
facturers is Indicated by a telegram re
ceived by President Roosevelt from the
Pprtland, Or., Chamber of Commerce.
The telegram is as follows:
"Portland, Or., June 23, IMS. The
President, Washington: The- Portland
Chamber of Commerce respectfully urges
immediate action on your part with re
spect to this country's relations with
China, the first consideration belnc -a re
gard for the Nation's honor, which de
mands faithful and fair performance of
its treaty obligations. Secondly, our
ened by the severe manner in which our
present laws regulating the admission of
the Chinese Into this country are exe
cuted, which em In their practical ,
working to contravene treaty obllgatlona
"We earnestly recommond that a more
liberal Interpretation of the laws be en
Joined upon the Immigration authorities,
and. meantime, the announcement of the
appointment by your excellency of a com
mission to inquire into the present laws
and the methods of their enforcement,
wjih ineirucuons to recommena 10 con

Increased harmony botween the two na

"We arc advised today by cable from
Hongkong that immediate action is
necessary by our Government, or a boy
cott of American products will follow.
(Signed)
"Portland Chamber of Commerce.
"By William D. Wheelwright,
"President."
The subject is already under considera
tion by the President and members of his
Cabinet, and a solution of the problem,
it is regarded as certain, will be worked
out. Secretary Metcalf had a long 'con
ference about the matter today with the
President.
MAY APPOINT COMMISSION.
Suggestion of Portland Chamber Fa
vored by President.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. June 24. One suggestion In the
telegram of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce to the President on the
Chinese boycott of American goods, which
was received and made public today, may
bear fruit that is the one relating to ap
pointment of a commission to "look into
the . prcsont exclusion laws and the
method of their .enforcement, with in
structions to recommend to Congress
such legislation as shall promote in
creased harmony between the two na
tions." This suggestion, it is said here., is in
harmony with the President's" own views
of the subject, and it would not be sur
prising if a commission should be ap
pointed ip the near future. A statement
of the President's action on this subject
is promised on Monday, but It will hard
ly be the appointment of a commission,
as there is no specific authority In law
for such action on his part. He may,
however, name a number of officials to
make inquiry and they could make sug
gestions to Congress for necessary legis
lation. An investigation, which will be of value
in this connection, is soon to be put
under 'way. Harry R. Burroll. a news
paperman of this city, connected with
the bureau of a New York paper, has
already been appointed by Secretary
Metcalf to make a trip to Japan. China
and Corea for the purpose of making an
Investigation Into trade conditions in
those countries. Other special agents
have been appointed to make similar in
vestigations in other countries, but. in
view of the present situation -with refer
ence to our relations with China. Mr.
Burrcll's report will probably be most
valuable at this time. For these Investi
gations Congress made an appropriation
of $30,000 last session. Mr. Burrell will
sail for the Orient with Secretary Taft's
party early in July.
Soon after the receipt of the telegram
from Portland, President Roosevelt sent
for Secretary Metcalf. and they dis
cussed the situation for some time. At
the conclusion of the interview Mr. Mot
calf announced that a statement would
be forthcoming Monday. The Chinese
boycott was discussed at the Cabinet
meeting yesterday, and. when he left the
White House, the Secretary of Commerce
was Interviewed and said that the laws
were not being enforced too strictly, in
view of the fraudulent practices of
Chinese in their endeavors to come into
this country. The President, lwwever.
is determined the Chinese shall have a
fair deal and has already given instruc
tions that the laws shall be enforced so
as to cause the least possible hardship to
Chinese persons entitled to enter this
country.
TELEGRAPHS THE PRESIDENT
Chamber of Commerce Asks Roose
velt to Act in Chinese Matter.
Yesterday the Chamber of Commerce
wired President Roosevelt again con
cerning this matter, as follows:
"To President Roosevelt, Washington.
D. C: Wo supplement our telegram of
yesterday by suggesting respectfully that
certificates issued in China according to
law and duly vised by the American Con
sul be respected by the immigration au
thorities in this country and accepted as
tinal. This Is in line with the recent
public utterance of the honorable Socre
tary of War.
"PORTLAND CHAMBER OF COMMERC
"Portland Chamber of Commerce,
"W. D. WHEELWRIGHT. President."
Mr. Wheelwright firmly believes the ap
pointment of a commission by the Presi
dent to inquire into the unpleasantness
which lias arisen by reason of the ques
tion of exclusion would erve to bring
about an adjustment. In the preesnt state
of affairs it would be the Pacific Coast
that would suffer the heaviest If American
imports are excluded in China, and Port
land merchants would be affected to a
large extent.
Labor Council Enters Denial.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. June 24. (Spe
cial.) The San Francisco Labor Council
at the meeting last evening adopted the
following resolutions, -with several pre
ambles. Introduced by the law and legis
lative committee, dealing with the utter
ances of Secretary of War Taft during
his address at Miami University, Oxford,
O., June IS:
Resolved. By the San Francisco Labor
Council. That we deny the statements of Sec
retary Taft concerning the nature of the
Chinese exclusion act and denounce the In
sinuation made against the people of the
whole country, as contained In the charge
that the said act was passed by Congrets and
The new East 8Me High School, which Is seen to be erected oa the block
bounded by Bast Washington and Stark, and by East Thirteenth and East Four
teenth streets at a cost of $100,000. wilt be one of the most trapesing structures
In the city when completed. The design reflects credit upon Thomas J. Jones,
the official architect of the School Beard. It will be up-to-date In every rerpect.
The plans call for a structure three stories high, with basement, te be built of
stone, terra eotta and brick, special attention being given to the lighting and ven

policy, buLthreugh fear of certain elements.
Resolved, That wc condemn the suggestion
of Secretary Taft that all members of Con
gress and the executive shall disregard the
wishes of the people, or even of a "portion'
of the community as contrary to the com
monest conceptions of the respect due by all
persons to the public will and as particularly
unbecoming on the part of a public official.
Resolved. That we deny the charge of
prejudice either In the conception r admin
istration of the Chinese exclusion act, and
declare the name to be based upon full
knowledge of the facts concerning Chinese
Immigration, gained by a long and harmful
experience therewith, and a determination te

destructive effects of association and com
petition with Asiatic labor.
Hayward in Demand.
Bill Hayward, the "well-known trainer
John M. Thurston Chats
HAT about politics as a career
for a young man?" is the ques
tion I first asked John M.
Thurston, one of the politically great men
of this country, while we haloed ourselves
with smoke from tho fragrant cigars he
smokes and gives to a fellow now and
then.
Perhaps the subject didn't strike him as
a novel or extremely Interesting one; at
all events he took hold of it rather lan
guidly. "If a young man has anything else to
do I wouldn't recommend politics. I've
been at politics more than 30 years, and
like the game. It is one of the most fas
cinating pursuits, but it is neither lucra
tive nor conducive to one's happiness.
"Given a young man with an indepen
dent competence who has also ability and
honesty, as in the case of Roosevelt, for
Instance, and I should say there is a ca
reer for him In American politics. But
the youth who has to make a living
would be..t avoid political pursuits. As a
rule politics has nothing that is good or
satisfying or really successful for him.
However, as I have said, a political oareor
is the most fascinating ambition that ever
beset a young man. and It seems useless
to warn against It."
"Is our Civil Service doing anything
toward making politics better?" I knew
something about the Senator's position on
the subject and was prepared to hear him
say:
"I am not much of a believer in that
particular effort to purify politics. Our
legislation in its application to civil ser
vice leaves almost wholly out of consider
ation the qualities which best fit a man
for public position. As a consequence the
service is filled -up with a lot of clerically
bright but not fitted for the larger duties
of public office. The Civil Service is not
satisfactory because tho personal equation
is not taken into consideration."
Everybody who has followed the his
tory of the country during the past ten
years knows something about John M.
Thurston. He defeated William J. Bryan
for the "United States Senate from Ne
braska in ISM. and ever since then he has
been much in the public eye.
He sprang at once into leadership in
the Senate, and was influential in shaping
all the important legislation o. his term.
As an orator he has few equals in this
country, and he is a close student of pub
lic affairs.
Long before he went to the Senate.
However, he had a National reputa
tion. He may boast the unusual honor
of having presided over two National
Conventions of the Republican party.
that of 1SSS. which nomluated Harri

convention of .1SJS. when the split on
silver came. Since his retirement
from the Senate in. 1991 he has been
a member of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition Commission, at the present
time being its chairman. As a lawyer
he stands among the very first in the
country. Admitted to the bar In 1S69.
he began the practice in Omaha, and
simultaneously entered politics. It was
in a humble way. as member of the
City Council. Then, in 1S74, he was
City Attorney, and he liked the game
so well that he went to the Nebraska
Legislature two years later. In 1879
he became assistant general solicitor
of the Union Pacific, and did no more
offlceholdlng until his election to the
Senate. In 1S68 he became general
counsel of the Union Paoinc, and was
a National figure.

in fact started talking to me. but before
the cigars were burnt out he had covered
a field which ranged from Cervantes to
Hood River strawberries. Before he fin
ished, however, he had returned to poli
tics, and I could see that the old fasci
nation still appealed to him. He's a big.
broad man of brains, who has been very
useful in our public life, and is just at J
the age when men can do their best. My
prediction is that he will get back into

Ore Trains in Nevada Charged
by Wild Herds.
STALLION LEADS STAMPEDE
Nuisance Has Become So Pro
nounced That Mlncowncrs Send
Armed Guards With Trains
to Shoot Animals.
RENO, Nev., June 21. Special.) Treas
ure trains loaded with ore from the Ka
wlch Company headed for the railroad
at Tonopah are being attacked by wild
horses on the bleak deserts of Southern
Nevada. From the new mining country
the newj was brought here tonight by
Fred O'Brien, who was with one of the
trains attacked. His words best tell the
story:
"We were In charge of a shipment
from the Gold Reed Company's property,
the second from the new camp. There
were two tralno pulled by IS horses. The
attack came when we were about 30
miles out. It was in the evening and we
were preparing to camp, when the first
band, numbering 200 horses and headed
by a massive black stallion, headed for
us. When about 100 yards away, our
horses became frightened and but for the
fact that wc had them, securely tethered,
they would have stampeded. We sent a
few shots Into the herd, killing one or
two of the wild horses. This brought
them to a stop, but for an hour or more
they circled around our camp, creating
a fearful noise and causing us no end
of trouble and nervousness. Another
train was attacked Monday and two
horses belonging to the train were
killed."
Superintendent Morro Lynch, of the
Gold Reed Company, has taken steps to
prevent further trouble. He has employed
four guards to accompany the next train
from the camp. They will leave In the
morning. The party will be well armed
and their sole duty wjll be to protect the
trains from attack by these horses.
The southern section of the state Is the
feeding ground of these wild horses at
this season of the year.
EMPLOYERS FEft. UPPISH
Refuse Flatly to Do Things tho
Teamsters Ask.
CHICAGO, June 24. (Special.) The
strike situation. late tonight Is not more
hopeful than It was last night. The new
strike committee appeared before the
joint teamsters council tonight and made
its report in practically the same form as
that given but last night. The members
of the council felt that nothing more
could be done, since the employers had
set forth flatly their ultimatum with re
gard to the union button, the express
drivers cause and the matter of the
withdrawal of the armed guards from, the
employers' wagons if the strike should
be called off.
J. V. Farwell. chairman of the acting
committee of the Employers Associa
tion, issued a statement in which he ad
mitted that the business interests were
considering setting a time beyond which
none of the men of the strike would be
hired. Some of the employers, aside from,
the express companies, be said, had al
ready made this determination.
The new strike committee appointed
Wednesday by tho Joint council of team
sters, dissolved itself tonight, after mak
ing a final report' of "progress." The
chairman gave in detail the points that
had been gone over with the representa
tives of the employers, and said they pro
posed to stand by the report submitted
to the rank, and file for a'vote last night,
The Shea faction Jeered this proposition.
CHICAGO. June 21. John. V. Farwell.
Jr.. today gave out .the following state
ment on the strike situation:
"Inasmuch as a settlement giving ade
quate protection to a nonunion man
seems unlikely, the employers are now
preparing to refuse to take back any
striking teamsters. In such an event, of
course, no further conferences would be
held. The strike has ceased to be a
strike, but is rather an. annoyance. It no
longer has any effeat on business."
State's Attorney Healy and Assistant
State's Attorney Fake appeared before
the June grand Jurors and "summed up"
for them the indictable evidence secured
by the April. May and present grand
Juries in the strike investigation. The
strike investigation ended today, and the
jurors on Monday will vote what true
bills the State's Attorney and his as
sistants advised.
JOE DIENER IN CUSTODY

World Fugitive Is Captured.
After traveling practically around the
world, a fugitive from Justice, Joe Diener
was returned to Portland yesterday after
noon, charged with embezzlement, and
will be prosecuted by Hibbard. Spencer,
Bartlett & Co., of Chicago, and by Port
land business men. The crime charged
against Diener Is said to have been com
mitted about 20 months ago. He was act

land business men out of a considerable
sum. The case was put into the hands of
the Pinkerton Detective Agency by the
Chicago firm. Diener was traced to Seat
tle, where it was found that ho had lost

Chlna, Calcutta. Paris. Frankfurt-am-Main
and London. Ho was next seen in
Boston, where he had obtained work, but

Bill for Coming Week Is "Nerves,'
Said to Be the Funniest Ever.
The thousands of patrons of the Be

and farce. Fascinating Lucia Moore is
a comedienne par excellence, and Eu
gene Ormonde Is never better than in
light comedy roles. John Salnpolls will
rest, if working his head off preparing
for tho production and directing the
performance can be called rest, for
there Is no place In the cast
for a bad man like him. Win
some Virginia Brlssac, the most popu

Eleanor Haber. Reginald Mason, Mor
gan Wallace, Louis Frohoff and all the
rest; but mostly it will be Clarence
Montaine. the inimitable character
actor of the company, who will shine in
"Nerves." His role of "HIppolyte Car
amel,' which he created In New York,
set the critics to singing a grand cho
rus of praise.
Attend the opening performance of
"Nerves" If you are not afraid of laugh

BERLIN. June 24. A fact which at

been countersigned by Chancellor von
Buelow. This apparently occurs in all cases
where the Emperor's telegrams have a
political or public interest. According to
the newspapers, von Buelow since his ele
vation to princely rank, has impressed the
Emperor with the difficult position he
(Von Buelow) was placed in before the
Reichstag by the Imperial telegrams for
which he. as Chancellor, must be respon
sible, but which he has never seen until
published in the newspapers. It is report
ed that the Emperor agreed to consult
the Chancellor regarding telegrams of a
political character before sending them,
and to ask him to countersign them.
