WASHINGTON. June 30. Promptly at 10 o'clock tonight. Vice-President Fair banks in the Senate and Speaker Cannon in the House declared the final adjourn ment of the lirst session of the Flfty nhiih Congress. - For the flrgt time Congress adjourned on the day which closed the fiscal year. Other sessions had aAwrnod before and Mime after June 30, dHklhe Fifty-ninth Congress ended iis firHMffBi'lon on the day when the Government strikes its balances and clones its books. There were softo Interesting features to mark the end linen came when there was less than a Aioruni in either house. Many Senators' ana Representatives, be lieving that the adjournment would come early In the day, made arrangements to le e Iti the afternoon, and did not re main for the closing scenes. An error In the enrollment of the sundry Vlvil appropriation bill 'caused quite a flurry about the Capitol. It was found by Secretary Root, after it had been signed by the President, an appropriation for $3,000,000 for a site for a public build ing In Washington, a provision which had been eliminated by Congress, appearing in the copy. After some perplexity the error was corrected by a Joint resolution. President Roosevelt came to the Capi tol about 10 o'clock. In anticipation of an early adjournment, and when he found i hat there would be a delay to secure the enrollment of the bills which had to be passe,!, he took luncheon In th Capi tol and In the afternoon visited the Con gressional Library. Knd Came without Warning. Speaker Cannon rigidly carried out his Intention of keeping back the adjourn ment resolution until the bills were all passed and slsned, and the hour for the end was not known until a short time be fore the. gavels fell with the announce ment by Vice-President Fairbanks In the Senate and the Speaker in the House that the first session of the Fifty-ninth Con gress stood adjourned. Both Senate and House met early, but a long recess was necessary In the after noon to enable the enrolling clerks to catch up to the bills that had passed. Songs end Speeches in House. The closing in the Senate was formal and without Interest. In the House there were the usual serious performances, amusing speeches and songs during the long waits, and the members made the best of the hottest day of the season. No business of Importance, aside from com pleting the pending legislation, was trans acted In either House during the day. The work accomplished by this session Is told by Speaker Cannon to the Asso ciated Prcsf. He said: "In my judgment the work done end the legislation enacted in the session ex ceeds in importance, for the best in t er fcaU of the people, the work of any ses , sion during my 30 years of public life. Operation W ill Demonstrate Wisdom "I have not time to make a complete review of all the legislation. It Is suffi cient to say that the legislation covering the appropriations and the authorising of public expenditures has been most care fully considered and wisely enacted. The legtel.it..- commonly referred to is rate legislation, the pure-food btll. the Inspec tion features or the agricultural bill all are measures that affect the Interests of all the people, and. while nothing perfect ,u be enacted, 1 am satisfied that the. J operation of these laws will demonstrate their wisdom. "And I believe, if nothing had been ac complished other than the enactment of these three measures, they alone would be sufficient to make the first session of the Fifty-ninth Congress memorable in the history of the Republic." President Signs In Dining-Room. WASHINGTON, June 30. Shortly be fore 10 o'clock Representative Wachter, of Maryland, and Chief Clerk Alexander Mc Dowell, of the House, arrived at the White House with the engrossed copy of the public buildings bill, the last of the enactments of Congress to be prepared for the signature of the President. The President joined the committee In the private dining-room of the White House and approved the measure. Rep resentative Wachter Immediately tele phoned Speaker Cannon that the bill had been approved. Subsequently the Presi dent signed a large number of commis sions of officials whose nominations had been confirmed by the Senate. DELAY IS PRINTING OFFICE. Public Building Bill Signed Late in the Evening. WASHINGTON, June 30. After luncheon, the President, accompanied by Secretary Root, Attorney-General Moody and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon made an extended visit to the Congressional Library, where he re mained until the expiration of the re cess taken by Congress. At 4:45, the party returned to the executive room in the Capitol. Another long wait met the Presi dent. After an impatient 21 minutes, he sent for Senator Hale. The latter said that the public building appropriation bill had been sent from the printing of fice without the necessary blue copy and that half an hour would pass be fore this error could be corrected. He figured that it would then require 40 minutes to pass the bill. "I will not waste that time." said the President. "I'll go somewhere and get a shave." He was escorted to the Senate barber shop by Secretary Bennett and after getting his shave he returned to the President's room. At 6 o'clock the pres ident decided that he would return to the White House. "You can send the committee in an automobile." he remarked and Speaker Cannon answered that the "lordly Sen ate" would get the automobile. A sug- (Conclutleii on Page 3.)

NO CONSPIRACY EVIDENCE District Attorney Bristol Gets Word That the Three Shawano Men, Joint!)' Indicted, Will Be Rearrested Today. SUMMARY OF THE CASE. BASIS OF INDICTMENT Lcander Choate. James Matt Bray. Benjamin Doughty. James Doughty and Thomas Daly, prominent lumbermen and bank era of Oshkosh. Wis., were Indicted by the. Federal granj jury of Oregon on April 3. 11)00. for a vlolatioh of section M40. of the United State Re vised Statute in having conspired to defraud the Government of about la(. 00O acres of public domain in Klamath and Lake Counties, this state. Sum ner J. Parker, of Ashland, Or., was also indicted with this group of de fendants and accused of being a go between with the 0hkoeh people and fraudulent timber locators. DATE OF ARRESTS The five first named, reputed to-be worth an aggre gate wealth far In excess of ll.O00.0t), were arrested at Oshkosh. Wis.. May 3. and brought before United States Commissioner D. E. McDonald for hearing. Their cases have been pend ing before him ever since, with the re sult announced in the dispatch follow ing. SHAWANO DEFENDANTS TO BE RE-ARRESTEr Olst.Ict Attorney Bristol stated last night that he had received information t.. the rffect that the three Shawano. Wis., defendants recently discharged, by Commissioner McDonald. ntiuM be re-arrested to morrow. It is probable that new proceedings will also be ..taken at once against the five men released at Osh kosh yesterday. OSHKOSH. Wis., June 30. (Specials United States Court Commissioner D. E. McDonald this afternoon discharged Mean der Choate, Ben Doughty. James Doughty, James M. Bray and Thomas Daly, all of Oshkosh, tv ho were indicted for alleged land frauds in Oregon. His ruling closed an examination, the first chapter of which was had tnree weeks ago. The Commis sioner said: "In my opinion, there has not been ad duced a scintilla of evidence on either side, either in cross-examination or oth erwise that would tend to show that the defendants had entered into any agree- THE DROUTH BEGINS merit or combination to defraud the Gov ernment. "If there was the slightest evidence to connect the defendants with conspiracy, I certainly should bind them over. But, on the contrary. I can see no course for me to pursue save to discharge them." Parker Denies Any Fraud. Sumner Parker, of Oregon, the last wit ness, testified that he had no knowledge of a combination connecting the defend ants with an alleged land fraud in Ore gon. He denied entering into any deal with the Oshkosh lumbermen, but Henry J. Cole, of Jackson County; Jefferson Howard and B. P. Hllman, of Ashland, admit having entered the land specifically mentioned In the indictment, they having done so for a consideration. Cole and Howard related that they re ceived checks under this agreement signed by Joseph Black, who is one of the Sha wano men indicted, and the third party recelved his check, he stated, from Mr. Parker. Howard and Hilman testified that their wives also entered timber lands In the same manner, and were to receive $300 each for so doing. Instigated by Parker. All three witnesses said they were insti gated by Parker, and that they were told and understood that the lands ultimately were to fall into the possession of an "Osh kosh lumber company," which was paying all the expenses. Cole described the modus operandi of the illegal transaction and his connection with Parker and other Wiscon sin parties. Cole stated that he had been a resident of Ashland. Or., and that he was ac quainted with Sumner, a "squire," Parker and Joseph Black, and that he had on one occasion seen John Black. He stated that he was not personally acquainted with any of the defendants, or with the Oshkosh Land & Timber Company, but he had fre quently heard of this latter company from Parker, and that he had heard the names of Choate and Bray mentioned. Parker a Land Cruiser. Cole stated that Parker was a land lo cator and cruiser, and that October 7. FRANCIS J. HENEY tOMl.NG. Francis J.

TODAY IN LINN, LANE AND OTHER OREGON COUNTIES NEW YORK POLICE THREATEN MUTINY Rebel Against the Two Platoon System. 'M'CLELLAN'S SPITE WORK" Bluecoats to Enforce Sunday Law Against Saloons. COMPEL TAMMANY'S AID Claim Plan Restored by Commis sioner Bingham Is Inhuman and Kn tails Overwork Political Revenge Inspires change. NEW YORK, June 30. (Special.) A po lice meeting, which is causing concern 1 particularly to political leaders and sa loon-keepers, has been inaugurated in this city, and if the threats that are made are carried out. New York will be a mighty dry town this Summer. The trouble has been caused by the action of Police Com missioner Bingham, in abolishing the "three-platoon system,' 'and restoring the old "two-platoon plan," which the men have fought for many years. Under the three-platoon idea, the force was divided into three sections. No. 1 working from 8 A. M. to 4 P. M.; No 2 from 4 P. M. to midnight and No. 3 from midnight to 8 A. M. One-third of each platoon was held for reserve duty; that is, a man who worked the day tour would return to the station at 8 P. M.. and be subject to call for emergency duty until 4 A, M.. when the reserves of the next section would relieve him. Evenings at Home. The two-platoon system is declared bf the men and citizens generally to be in human. Under it a ;atrolman only has one evening out of 30 he can call his own. and is liable to lose that in time of Hot or excitement. The men are divided into 4 sections, and the workings of the plan can best be understood by giving the following time table of a policeman's tour: Monday. S A. M., patrol until 1 P. M., one hour for dinner, on reserve until mid night, with one hour for supper, patrol from midnight until 6 A. M. Tuesday. Home until 6 P. M., patrol until midnight, on rserve in station-house until 6 A. M., patrol until 8 A. M.. one hour for breakfast and reserve until 1 P. M.. patrol to 6 P. M., one hour for supper and re serve in station until midnight, patrol to t A. M.. off until 6 P. M., patrol to midnight, home until 8 A. M. This is a record for four days, and then the unhappy policeman begins it all over again. The men declare that they have no time for recreation or to see their families, and that their hours of rest are so broken up that they cannot sleep. The Patrolman's Benevolent Associa- t tlon is an organization which includes on its membership rolls all the rank and file of the uniformed force. Its officials believe they see a way out of the diffi culty, and are prepared to take it. New Y'ork has a law prohibiting the sale of liquor on Sunday. It is a statute which fa not obeyed, and everybody knows it. Each Tammany district leader has the say which saloons shall be open on the Sabbath, and his wishes are al ways respected by the police. Any ordi nary patrolman who failed to obey or ders In this respect would speedily find himself transferred and be punished in ways too numerous to mention. But how can you punish all the police men In the city? ft Here is the way the Benevolent Asaoci tion proposes to go to work: The dis trict leaders have been told that Commis sioner Bingham must rescind his order at once. If he does not well, the men are very sorry, but In such a contingency they propose to see that every saloon in the city obeys the law, no matter who may suffer. Major Flees From Trouble. Mayor McClellan has avoided the storm by sailing hastily for Europe. In the meantime the Tammany leaders are in despair and do not know what to do. They are pleading for delay, but the men are angry and will make no promises. And the storm Is expected to break next Sunday. Ex-Police Commissioner McAdoo Is one New Yorker who is not afraid to say that the order is a mistake, and should be rescinded at once. "It is a most deplorable thing for the citizens of New York," he said, "that the police should believe the return to the two platoon system, which they abhor, is due merely to Mayor McClellan's de sire for revenge for a disappointment at the polls. Many Will Shirk Duty. "The city tonight will be protected less than it has been for years, notwithstand ing extra men will be on duty. The rea son for that Is the men will not have any heart in their work, but will be so dis gusted they will be careless and in many cases will shirk dutv. "No system of spies and roundsmen can be devised that will make patrolmen work as thev would if their hearts were in their task." "It has been an open secret in the police department." said one of the officers of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association last night, "that ever since the election was stolen for McClellan no policeman who aided the Municipal Ownership ticket was to be allowed to escape. Ruins Spotless Records. "The appointment of Bingham meant the singling out of these victims for punish ment, and the entire history of Commis sioner Bingham's work in the department Is punctuated with convictions of patrol men whose hitherto spotless records had been bespattered in the interests of the petty revenge of the 'Mayor. "Commissioner Bingham has been a faithful servant. Without the least knowl edge of the practical working: of the po lice department he has presided with fer vor and fluent profanity at police trials .where man after man has been hauled up to receive punishment for having dared to assert his manhood and avail himself of the franchise to vote in a way that his citizenship and his desire for fair govern ment and equal justice to all dictated. "The excuse offered that tlte two plat oon system. adds 50 per cent to the force on duty at night is ridiculous. It does nothing of the sort. It does overwork the men, though, and by putting them at the mercy of their superiors for any little privilege in the way of extension of din ner hour to those who lire far from the station-house makes them sycophants and reduces them to a condition resembling that of slaves. Opens Way for Graft. "It also opens the waty for graft and corruption of the most flagrant character. Suppose, for example, the patrolman dis covers some questionable resorts on his beat and he knows the captain is inter ested in them. He dare not report them. "If he did he would be a marked man; every little privilege would be withheld, and within less than a month he would be hounded out of the department. "Of course, the commanding officers to whom Bingham says he went for advice on the subject recommended the return to the system, which places the men abso lutely at their mercy. "Then, again, with only such a little time off, no policeman Is going to be over anxious' to make arrests and have to spend in the police court some of the very few hours of ease he otherwise might en joy at home. If he sees a suspicious per son he'll 'get busy' in another direction, knowing that if a burglary is committed, all he has to do to avoid blame is to re port the fact before he goes off duty. McClellan's order is expected to be the death-blow to any hopes the Democrats might have of carrying the state this Fall. Will Lose Police Votes. "It will cost us the vote of every po liceman," admitted one Tammany Hall man. last night. "And if the men carry out their threats to close the saloons Sun day, we will lose the votes of workingmen whom we held even against Hearst last year. "It's a mighty bad outlook, and the or der seems to me to have been dictated rather by spite than by a desire to im prove the service." ICE CREAM MEN PARDONED Governor Beckham Says They May Sell Sweets on Sunday. FRANKFORT Ky June 30. Expressing the belief that the motive back of the prosecution of Louisville druggists and food supply merchants for keeping their places open on Shinday is "neither honest nor sincere," Governor Beckham today granted a pardon before trial to a num ber of employes of a Louisville ice cream company. The men were arrested on war rants issued by Magistrate F. J. Hoffman. When Governor Beckham "put the lid on" at Louisville, It was stated at the executive department that it applied only to saloons. UNION OIL TANKS ARE BLOWN UP Portland Feels Shock; Fears Earthquake. WATCHMAN PROBABLY KILLED He Was Carrying a Lighted Lantern. LOSS IS FIFTEEN THOUSAND For a Time Fear Was Felt for Safely of Standard Oil Tanks, Port of Portland Drydock and Sawmills. F.XPLOSION OF OIL TANKS. Three tanks of tiie Union Oil Com pany at the foot of University Park: blew up shortly after midnight. The supposed cause was the carrying of a lighted lantern by the watchman. Leonard Jaquo, who is supposed u have perished in the explosion. Toe shock was so severs in Portland, eight miles away many thought it was an earthquake. The loss is es timated at $15, 000. Two explosions that caused many In Portland to believe, that an earthquake had shaken the city blew up the Union Oil Works, at the foot of University Park, on the river bank, at 12:15 o'clock this morning, destroyed one large tank, two smaller ones, and probably caused the death of Night Watchman Leonard Jaquo. an Italian, who, at I :30 o'clock this morning, could not be found. That the watchman was blown up by one of the two explosions is believed, because his luncheon buck et was found near the burning tanks and he had ben seen a few minutes before the explosion carrying a light ed lantern near the tanks. If his body Is in the burning oil H will never be discovered. More than a score of per sons Instituted a search for the miss ing man but he could not be found. Shock Felt in Portland. The roar caused by the explosions and the shocks that followed could be easily felt and heard In Portland, where many believed that the shock was caused by a temblor. The force of the explosion in the vicinity of the tanks and at the university was ter rific. Night Watchman P. S. Cate. of the Standard Oil Company, who occu pies a small house near the works, was hurled from his bed by the force of the shock, and the Columbia University buildings were slightly Shaken and the windows were Jarred. Residents In the vicinity of the tanks for a distance of half a mile, distinctly felt the jar, and tne roar of the two explosion . which followed each other. The shock was so severe that residents of liast Portland and of Portland Heights thought it was an earthquake n.id has tened to telephones to make inquiry concerning the damage done. The explosion is thought to have been caused either from crossed elec tric wires or by the watchma.i in his careless use of his lighted lantern. Manager Crang's Statement. T. H. Crang. manager for th'e Union Oil Works, said early this morning that he was at a loss to account for the ex plosion. Living near the scene he was at the fire shortly after It broke out. and Immediately instituted a search for his . watchman to learn the cause. Falling to find him or to account for the cause of the explosion, he directed the firemen oh the fireboat George H. Williams to throw water on tank cars which were standing on the tracks. These threatened to blow up as the wind shifted the fire to or away from the burning tanks. For a time It was feared the Standard Oil tanks might catch fire and there was some alarm that the burning oil might set sawmills and the Port of Portland drydock on fire. Supply Tanks Explode. The explosion following the first one was caused by two small supply tanks near the larger one. blowing up. The shock from the smaller two was not nearly so forcible as from that of the large tank. Fear was entertained that a great tank of distillne. Just south of the large tank, would explode, and It was re peatedly threatened by the fierce heat caused by the three burning tanks sur rounding it. It was impossible for the firemen on the fireboat to throw water in its direction as the water only added zest to the burning oil over which a stream would have had to be thrown. At 2 o'clock this morning the Juste llne tank was in great danger, but it was thought that it could be saved as It has withstood the heat for more than two hours. Standard Oil Tanks Saved. North of the Union tanks are several tanks of the Standard Oil Company. None of these was in any great danger through fear was at first expressed, and firemen confined themselves to prevent ing the flames spreading in their direc tions. Manager Flanders of the Stand ard Oil Company was on the ground to see that his property was protected. Great Clouds of tolack smoke ascended into the heavens slid could be seen from all parts of the city. So fierce was th (.Concluded on Page j
