Secretary Garfield Says Idaho
Reclamation Service
Is Clean.
ENGINEERS EXONERATED
Investigation Indicates False Re
ports Results of Collusion and
Contractors Real Offenders.
Ross and Hoern Get Raise.
OREOONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
; Itigton, April 13. Secretary Garfield
', today exploded the charges of graft In
the reclamation service in Idaho by of
ficially notifying Director Newell that
the accusations against Engineer D. W.
Ross and his assistant secretary had
been found to be without foundation
and had been dismissed, following this
announcement by promoting Mr. Robs
from 13600 to 11000, and Mr. Horn from
(3300 to S360Q. .
, The report against Ross and Horn
was made by Special Inspector A. R.
Green, who spent some time In Idaho
making Investigations and who gleaned
fcls Information from Government con
tractors. Green based his 'charges on
statements mads by the contractors on
the Boise-Payette project. : His conclu
sions were utterly disapproved by Sec
retary Garfield. . - . . .
Discharged for Incompetency.
So erroneous was Green in his find
ings that the Secretary concluded he
was not competent to act -as an in
., specting official, and he was forthwith
' removed from the office of Inspector,
where he drew a salary of $2500 and $3
per diem additional, and given the of
. flee of Superintendent of the Platte
National Forest In Indian Territory at
, J1600. Director Newell was deeply
gratified at the Secretary's action. In
' ti statement Issued, tonight Mr. Newell
says:
. "We have understood perfectly that
charges were attributable to parties
financially Interested In discrediting
, the engineers. Recent attacks were
made In an endeavor to intimidate en-
glneers and coerce them Into taking a
less positive position In protecting the
1 Government's Interests. These men
have boasted that they could bring suf
' flclent influence to bear to compel the
removal of the engineers who stood
'between them and the payment of
' doubtful claims against the Govern
. !2nent. .
. Looks Like Collusion.
.1. "While proof Is lacking of the exist
1 ence of an actual conspiracy to In
jure these engineers, all the elements
of collusion In this regard are found
In statements which have been made In
unison by a number of men. Taken
- singly, none of these statements would
: be considered as worthy of much con
sideration, but when combined they
had the appearance of plausibility.
"Careful analysis of papers on file In
, the department show that this collusion
probably stopped Just short of - being
within reach of- the law on the score of
libel. The communications are of such a
character that, while undoubtedly libelous
In the ordinary use of the word, they may
not be quite covered by the law, so
that the engineers and others who have
been the subject of attack may be unable
; to obtain legal redress.'
"Some yellow journals have taken the
opportunity afforded by the attack to
Intimate that the entire . Reclamation
Service was Involved, but the papers on
Hie do not contain any basis for such
broad charges."

JAPANESE PROBLEM HARD OXE
Immigration Officials Are Unable
, to Keep Them Oat.
.WASHINGTON. April 13. Under the
regulations governing the entrance
into this country of Japanese laborers,
there is no way of preventing the Jap
anese from Honolulu trans-shipping at
Sin Francisco for British Columbia. It
is evident from Inquiries that have been
made by officials of this Government,
that tne Japanese to whom the Japan
ese Government Issues passports to
.Mexico or the Hawaiian Islands have
CHAR G
no' intention of remaining there. Their
destination, as the laborers themselves
have admitted on cross-examination, is
the United States.
Recently several hundred Japanese
laborers were interrogated in Mexico
as to their intentions. Every one of
them said he expected sooner or later
to reach this country. Some of tnem
were In serious financial straits. They
w'ere awaiting opportunity to get across
the borr Into this country.
The same Is true of Japanese who are
going to British Columbia. There is no
work for them there and they expect to
get into the United States as soon as pos
sible. The regulations governing the ex
clusion of Chinese laborers do not apply
to the Japanese laborers. When Chinese
laborers ship in transit through the Unit
ed States to another country, a photo
graph is taken of each Individual and the
railroad or steamship company carrying
him is required to give the Government a
bond to prevent his escape. It is different
with the Japanese. No photographs' are
taken and no bonds are exacted from the
transportation company. If a Japanese la
borer escapes from the train or steamship
while in transit, the Government has no
recourse. TKiat many of them do take ad
vantage of the opportunity afforded them
to get Into this country is known offi
cially, but there is no way under the reg
ulations to prevent them from embracing
the opportunity.
Commissioner Sargent, of the Bureau of
Immigration, declines to discuss the sub
ject, but It Is' known that Secretary
Straus, of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, Is keeping in close touch -with
the situation. Trouble Is being experi
enced In handling the question, however,
particularly In relation to the Japanese
Immigrants who are arriving from Mexico.
It Is practically Impossible to prevent
them from being smuggled across the
border and the Government Has no means
of Identifying them after they reach thiB
country. The question is likely to be
come more serious in the future.

Rich Men Have Endeavored to

SAN FRANCISCO, April 13. (Special.)
.filllnnn.irea an the - Drotectors of low

investigation. The exposure has oeen
made bv Police Captain John Mooney,
who charges that rich men with high so
cial position nave ( Intervened ana na
sought to prevent projected inroads on
tenderloin resorts.
The men. he says, have come to his as
sistance and have offered (inducements,
sometimes in the shape of coin, to allow
the disorderly houses to run unmolested.
Captain Mooney will go before the grand
Jury this week and reveal the inner
workings of the machine in tne x-oucv
Department. Mooney Is regarded as the
ablest man in the Police Department
He ia one of the very few against whom
there has never been a breath of scandal.
. News has also, been received of the
vigorous measures advocated by the
American bishops . for increasing the
Peter's pence. The Vatican hopes that
these contributions will be increased
to $500,000 in America.
In a statement made this evening the
captain asserted that he would spare no

prevalent in the districts of which he has
had command win oe toia to tne wuau,
regardless of the places it will strike-or
of the wealthy men who will be called to

DROP CASE AGAINST BARRETT
Grand. Jury Finds No True Bill
- Against examiner Editor.
BAN FRANCISCO, April IS. Respon
dent to a letter from Fremont oiaer,
manaelnc editor of the Bulletin, with
drawing the charges brought by. him,
.the- grand jury today voted no true
bill against John P. Barrett, news edi
tor of the Examiner,- and formally
dropped the investigation following the
alleged confession, of Eddie. Graney
that at a cost, of 3600 Barrett had
hired him and James Coftroth -to cause
wholesale -ballot-box stuffing in the
primaries of August, 1904.' Mr. Older
In his letter to- the grand Jury stated
that , he withdrew his charges because
their pursuit at this time mignt nmaer
and hamper tno ituet-acumiu anu cor'
Doration prosecutions., '
Asked why today's action by the
grand Jury precluded that body from
taking up the Barrett investigation at
e. later time. Assistant uistrici Aiior-
ney Heney replied: -"There
is no law to that effect"
The grand jury was in session one
hour today and no testimony was
taken. .Qnly two witnesses were in the
ante-room M B. Cass, president of the
Home Telephone Company of Los An
geles, and Fred Hubert, who is under
subpena in connection with charges of
petty i grafting by Mayor Bcnmitz.
Neither was called.
. Cass stated to Heney that If placed
upon the stand he would, in obedience
to the advice of his counsel, George A.
Knight, refuse to answer any ques
tlons on the ground that he might in
criminate himself. In this connection
Heney said, after adjournment: -
"Mr. Knight is quoted in the press as
Baying that he advised Cass, Torrence
and Adams to refuse to give any fur
ther testimony before the grand Jury
because of a 'published official state
ment' that the grand jury had decided
to indict them 'anyhow.' Mr. Knight
has been misinformed. No such offi
cial statement has been given out. It
would be quite ridiculous for the
prosecution to presume to say what the
grand jury will do or will not do in
the matter of returning true bills.
"The situation is simply this: Under
the statutes of California, It is the
duty of the grand jury to extend to an
accused person the right to be heard
in his own behalf when witnesses have
given evidence against him .'which is
Incapable of explanation.' To ' Illus
trate, if witnesses testified before the
grand jury that they saw John Jones
shoot a man to death, that evidence
would not be 'explainable,' and it
would be Improper to summon John
Jones, and an indictment would be re
turned and Jones would ' in due time
defend himself in court
"But If witnesses testified that short
ly before the murder they saw Jones
in company with the deceased in the
vicinity where ths dead body was
found, that evidence would be 'explain
able,' and it would be the duty of the
grand jury to summon Jones and give
him the privilege of explaining, if he
could.
"That Is all the grand Jury has done
in the case of Cass, Torrence and Adams
given them a chance to explain. If
they feel they cannot explain without In
criminating themselves, they undoubtedly
know best"
Cass, Torrence and Adams already have
testified before the Inquisitorial body re
garding the raising of large funds by the
Empire Construction Company's stock
holders, who, beside themselves, were
Detwller and Phillips. But their testi
mony stopped before a sworn statement
as to how this money had been dis
bursed.
Detwller is now under 13 indictments
charging him with bribing 13 Supervisors
In the sum of 3500 each to award to the
Home Telephone Company a franchise
competitive to that held by the Pacific
States Telephone Company. He is a
fugitive from Justice and if arrested must
furnish bonds in the sum of 1130,000 or go
to jail.
The grand Jury adjourned until Tues
day. BRYAN ON JEFFERS0NISM
Contrasts It With Principles Enun
ciated by Hamilton.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., April 13
The -chief event of Founder's Day at the
University of Virginia was the address of
William J. Bryan. Mr. Bryan was greet
ed - by ti great ' audience tn 'Cabell Hall
and spoke for nearly two hours. He
discussed Thomas Jefferson and his po
litical philosophy and Incidentally put it
in vivid contrast with Hamilton's. The
vice in Hamilton's plans, he said, was
lack of sympathy with the people. Jeffer
son for his day was a rich man, but his
money did not color his views of govern
ment nor destroy his sympathy with the
common people.
Mr. Bryan avoided all personal allu
sions. He referred to the California
school case, be said, only to show that
tne jenersonian way of settling It would
have been to leave it to the people of
California.
After his address Mr. Bryan was en
tertained by the Delta Chi Fraternity
and then left for Washington.
in the afternoon Martin A. Knarm. of

McKenna $1000 License Petitions
Will Be Checked Tuesday or
Wednesday No Reinstatements
It Is believed now that two or three
more days' work will complete the can
vass on the McKenna $1000 petitions. Con
siderable progress was made yesterday,
the percentage of registered voters being
about the same as on preceding days. Of
147 names canvassed, 68 were thrown out.
Close tally on the canvass' was kept by
paid representatives of both the Municipal
Association and the liquor interests. No
effort has been made as yet to reinstate
the names that have been removd from
the petition. Alfred Seal, of' 141 Four
teenth street, who was engaged as one of
the McKenna petition solicitors, is credit
ed with the record for collecting names
of persons who had no right to sign.
Whether a man was a registered voter
or not Seal's representations were such
that he secured his signature in many
cases. Seal had charge of section 34 of
the petition, to which he secured 63 sig
natures, most of them living In Sell wood.
Of this number 24 have been thrown out.
C. B. Lucas, of 641 Tacoma street, reports
having told Seal he did not think he was
entitled to sign as he had come from Mis
souri Ave months ago and was not a
voter. "That's no difference. If you are
a taxpayer you have a right to sign," is
the statement accredited to the solicitor.
J. L. Larsen, also living on Tacoma
street, was Induced to sign although he
was not registered.
8. D. Craig, of 667 Tenino avenue, has
not voted for 12 years. He says he became
disgusted with politics at that time and
has never registered or voted since. His
Son, James Craig, just reaching his ma
jority, signed but is not registered.
E. W. Sleeper, of S21 Umatilla avenue,
is registered, but says he signed the pe
tition Just to get rid of the circulator.

dollars for various treatments, in
cluding several weeks In the hos-
?ltal, but found no relief, but after
aklng 15 treatments on your Elec
tro Radiator I am completely cured.

This is the greatest electro-therapeutic
Invention of the age, and was awarded -.
the gold medal at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition. It gives no shock, the sensa
tion of the treatment being an electric
life heat radiating all over the body. If
you are suffering from nervous chill, rheu
matism, lumbago, sciatica, la grippe, co
tarrh or any chronic ailment, we will
demonstrate to you the possibility of a
complete cure.
Hundreds of notable physicians In ths
United States and Canada use and recom
mend this radiator. We have their testi
monials of its marvelous life-giving pow
er. The principal hospitals and sanato
riums of this country use it. This is not
a new invention: It has been thoroughly
tried and proved by thousands who now
tell of its great healing power. ...
It has defied death in many cases. It .
has never failed as a wonderful healing
agent, and as a general tonic has sur-.
prised all who use it. Ask for names of
people In Portland who have been cured.
Mrs.. Ward, of 995 Front street,
had suffered with a complication of
diseases caused by a stroke of par
alysis. When she commenced treat
ments she had been confined to her
bed for over six weeks. She had
had all available medical skill, but '
found no relief from her terrible
suffering, not having had a full'
night's sleep for six weeks. After
the fourth day's treatment with
Rlckards' Electro Radiator at her.'
.home she was able to come to the
office. When she had taked U
treatments she was completely -cured.
Telephone her If you are interest-'
ed Pacific 386, care Rev. Mrs. Hol
lingshead, her daughter. We have ;
hundreds of testimonials as good as
these.
The Radiator can be used in your,
own home. It is not expensive: the .
poor man may have one as well as
the rich. It can be used for the
entire family: and more it prevents
sickness; disease cannot linger
where it is used. It is attached to
electric light fixture, but Is not
an electric light bath, or does not
go through globes or class of any
kind, as glass is a non-conductor,
the body coming directly in con
tact with the current. It can be
proven glass is a non-conductor, -as
you have noticed the glass insu
lators on all electric wire poles to
keep the current from running to
the ground. This Is a direct elec
tric treatment in which there . is no
shock, but is soothing and Quieting. .
That is why we make the cures
when everything else falls.
It is demonstrated at my office
every day free of charge. ..You are
cordially Invited.
