SALT RUBBED IN WOUNDS

TOPEKA, Kan., June 2. (Special.)
The statement from Washington that
Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson
has ordered his crop statisticians to
watch the reports of F. D. Coburn,
Secretary of the Kansas Board, with a
view to the picking; of flaws and finding:
of errors, has caused general commint
It is alleged that the Federal Secretary
desires to discover something: that will
cripple the fame of the Kansas official.
About two years ago Mr. Wilson, In
a speech on a Western trip, put Kan
sas in the "semi-arid" belt. Mr.
Coburn would not stand for this and
issue a pamphlet showing that Kan
sas produced . more foodstuffs than
Iowa, the home of Mr. Wilron; that in
the production of wheat and corn
Kansas led all states of the Union;
that Kansas farmers had moie money
on deposit in the banks per capita than
the farmers of any other agricultural
state, and that Kansas was in anything
except the "semi-arid" belt.
Through Arid Kansas by Boat.
A few months later Mr. Coburn
rubbed a little more salt Into the
wounds of the Washington chief. Mr.
Wilson bad some speaking dates in
Western Kansas, which once was an
extremely "arid" section. On account
of heavy rains he was compelled to use
boats to reach his appointments. Mr.
Coburn Is not slow as an advertiser of
Kansas. He gave the newspapers a
tip, and they printed cartoons of Mr.
Wilson doing "arid" Kansas In a boat.
Naturally it nettled the Washington
chief.
Recently Mr. Coburn rubbed in a lit
tle more salt on the wounds of the
head of the National Agricultural De
partment. When the green bug was
devastating the Kansas wheatflelda
two months ago, Mr. Wilson decided
to give the farmers of this state some
advice as to how to defeat Its ravages
in future. He wrote a letter to Mr.
Coburn and asked that It be printed
In the Kansas papers. In It he advised
Kansas farmers to plant turkey red
wheat. He, said that in 1897 he made
some experiments and found that tur
key red spread out and "stooled" bet
ter and withstood the ravages of bugs
better than any other variety.
Ten Tears Behind Times.
Mr.. Coburn gave out a statement
himself, showing that for twenty years
Kansas had practically produced no
other klntf of wheat. Millers and
wheat-grewers of the West began to
poke fun at Mr. Wilson for making
experiments. In 1897 with turkey red
wheat, which Kansas had grown suc
cessfully and almost exclusively a de
cade before. For the Federal Agricul
tural Department to be held up to
the world as 10 years behind the times
grated on Mr. Wilson's nerves. Now,
It Is stated, he has ordered his experts
to keep -tab on Coburn and dissect
every report he makes.
CONTRACTS FOR BIG SHIPS
American Dreadnuughts to Be Built
With Turbine Engines.
WASHINGTON, June 29. Before
leaving for the West today. Secretary
Metcalf announced his decision In re
spect to important matters. In the
first place he allotted contracts for the
ronstruotlon of the two American
"Dreadnaught" battleships, the Inter
esting point of his decision being the
rejection of the Navy Department's
plans and the acceptance of the more
progressive Ideas of the private ship
building firms, involving the use of
steam turbines.
So as to afford fair opportunity for
comparison of the relative merits of
the British and American turbine sys
tems, the Secretary awurded one con
tract thai to the Newport News Ship
building Company with the purpose
of trying the British device known as
the "Parsons turbine." This is condi
tioned upon certain modifications by
the contractors to meet the ideas of
the department; otherwise they must
build the ship with reciprocating en
gines under he department's plans. In
the first case they will receive $4,090,
000, and la the latter case only 13,987.
000. .
Wilt Build Octopus Submarines.
The contract for the other battle
ship was awarded to the Fore River
Shipbuldlng Company of Qulncy, Mass.,
at I4.S77.000 under its class bid pro
viding for the machine of the American
Curtis turbine type. The Newport
News Company undertakes to build its
ship In months and the Fore River
Company In 4 Vi months.
The Secretary was unable to award
the contracts for building the submarine
boats, because of the necessity of sub
mitting to the Attorney-General a mere
point of law, but he has decided to ac
cept the report of the Board of Con
struction and the special submarine board
in favor of the Octopus type of boat, and
the $3,000,000 appropriation will be used
to build as many as possible of these
boats, averaging about j-00,000 apiece.
Armor-Plato Contract Divided.
In awarding the contracts for supplying
armor for the l!0,000-tou battleships to
day, Mr. Metcalf. with a view to giving
encouragement to all of the armor-producing
concerns, while Insuring to the
Government the lowest possible rates, di
vided the contract among the three con
cerns. The Midvale Company had ar-"
ranged its bid so as to make a special
price for what are regarded as the eas
iest forms of armor plate to produce, and
on the fact that its bid was the lowest
for the greater part of the armor.- This
bid was rejected by Mr. Metcalf and was
consequently rearranged to meet the
wishes of the department. At the same
time the Midvale Company was notified
that, if it ultimately wished a share of
the business, it must reduce its bid to
the level of the lowest bidders, which it
did. Consequently. Mr. Metcalf was able
to announce today that be bad awarded
as follows:
To the Bethlehem Company. 3960 tons;
to the CarneKie Company, S545 tons, and
to the Midvale Company. 2630 tons class
A armor at 430 per ton, and classes B,
C and D at $400.
Examination for Consulates.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-July 1 .tot
T
GQBURN
State Department will hold its second
examination to secure a list of eligible
candidates from which appointments will
be made to consular service positions. The
first examination was held in March,
when out of a class of 20 candidates ten
passed the examination and have since
been given appointments. A number of
vacancies now exist in the service. The
places to be filled through examina
tion are in classes eight and
nine, and pay, respectively, $2500 and $2000.
The most important places In the service
are filled by 1 promotion from these
classes. The examinations are very se
vere, and the candidate who undertakes
them without thorough preparation will
find them beyond his capacity. A col
legiate education, combined with practi
cal business experience. Is about what
is required to get through and secure
a passing rating. The examinations are
oral and written.
Something Wrong In Army.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan., June 29.
"There is a feeling said Major-General
J. Franklin Bell in addressing the Army
officers here today, "that there is some
thing wrong in the Army. It is known
In Washington and an effort will be made
to correct it."
General Bell's statement caused much
comment among the Army men who
heard him. He gave no hint of his mean
ing, leaving his hearers to form their
own conclusions.' The speech of General
Bell was made at the graduating exer
cises of the Infantry and Cavalry School,
the Signal School and Staff College.
The graduates. Including the InfanUry
and cavalry class, numbered 38. There
were five honor graduates. Second Lieu
tenant George C. Marshall, Thirtieth
Infantry, appointed from Virginia Mili
tary School, leads the class with an av
erage of 967. 7S1 points of a possible 1000.
The other four honor graduates- are; Cap
tain M. C. Kerth, Twenty-third Infantry,
966.145; Captain D. C. Rhodes, Sixth Cav
alry, 964.319; Second Lieutenant R. E.
Beebe, Twenty-ninth Infantry, 962.063, and
Lieutenant H. L. Hodges, First Cavalry,

SEATTLE.
Metropolis Annexe Suburbs Until
Georgetown) Is Completely
Fenced In.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 29. (Spe
cial.) West Seattle voted today, S25 to
8, to be annexed to Seattle. This ac
tion leaves Georgetown, a wide-open
brewery town, with pool rooms run
ning throughout theyear, except when
the racing season is on at the Meadows
and gambling permitted intermittently,
an independent municipality of the
third class wholly surrounded by Seat
tle. Georgetown is as Independent of
Seattle as though the town were in
Eastern Washington, yet If a man
started at one end of the town on a
run he could scarcely stop before he
spirited over Into Seattle. In every
direction Georgetown now looks out upon
Seattle. The people of Georgetown can
not get in or out without tres
passing upon Seattle, yet the peo
ple of that suburb hold aloof and
refuse to surrender their indepen
dent organization. So far as Is
known, Georgetown is the only munici
pality in the world that maintains an
Independent organization wholly wlth
lng the corporate limits of a larger
city. And there is nothing In the laws
of this state that permits Seattle to
compel Georgetown to surrender.
WHY -HE IS A DEMOCRAT
G. II. Thomas Voices His Objection
to the Republican Party.
PORTLAND, June 29. (To the Ed
itor.) Referring to an editorial in The
Oregonlan Thursday, I wish to say
that as a citizen and a Democrat I am
striving for the greatest good to the
greatest number. To obtain this, I
favor government by a majority of the
whole people, rather than a govern
ment by any form of aristocracy.
I believe that continued special priv
ilege legislation must result in the
gradual submergence of the masses to
a complete serfdom. Therefore the
channels of equal opportunity should
not be restricted. I would teach our
children that the ideals and principles
of Democracy are above men. Teach
them that we should enact no laws
which are not to be enforced, and that
the executive officers themselves must
be kept strictly subordinate to the Con
stitution and laws of this country.
The thought and legislation of the
Republican party is grievously ' at
variance with the foregoing.

THE HAGUE. June 29. While the work
of the peace conference amounted to al

Corean delegation sent to all the dele

Premier; Yi Tyoune, ex-Judge of the Su

The protest says that the Coreans re

international law. deprived them of their
national Independence and even resorted
to violence. It adds that the Corean Em
peror gave them full powers, which they
put at the disposal of the delegates to the
conference, asking their intervention for
admission to the conference. They
wished, the protest says, to defend their
rights and expose the Japanese methods.
The deputation applied to President
Nelidoff for an audience, which was re
fused upon the ground that he had no
authority to Interfere in such questions.
Japanese Act Like Savages.
A Corean delegate, speaking to the As
sociated Press today, said:
"The Japanese are behaving in Corea
like savages. They are committing all
kinds of barbarisms against people, and
especially the women. M. Nelidoff's re
fusal to receive us was astonishing and
painful, as our relations with Russia,
as well as with America, are so good that
we thought they could not refuse to as
sist us. We intend to go to America to
appeal to the generosity of that noble
country for help.
"In the Summer of 1905, before the
treaty of Portsmouth Corea received the
first Russian communications about the
present conference called at the Instiga
tion of President Roosevelt, and entrusted
her minister at St. Petersburg, Prince Yl
Tchene Pomm, to represent her at The
Hague." ( ,
No Right to Recognition.
Kelroku Tsuzukt, head of the Japanese
delegation, speaking to the Associated
Press in regard to this matter, said:
"The Dutch government officially stated
that Corea was not and could not be
invited to the conference. Therefore, the
Corean delegation, it is asserted, cannot
receive any recognition."
The sub-committee on the duties of
neutral powers in time of war met this
afternoon. The whole session was de
voted to the discussion of a set of ques
tions upon the subject of procedure in
the opening of hostilities, which the dele
gates must answer at later meetings.

NOT ONE PENNY OF GRAFT
Taft Says Inquiry Proves Honesty.
Will Give Better Food.
WASHINGTON, June 29. "After Inves
tigating every charge which has been
brought to my attention, whether appar
ently well founded or not. I have been
anable to find a single penny of graft
going to any one in connection with the
Isthmian Canal work."
This statement was made by Secretary
Taft today when his attention was called
to the statements that special account
ants had been sent to the Isthmus to ex
amine the books of the disbursing of-
ficeta. si the curomlnfrtoy Secretary Taft
14 . in
announced that he had sent to tbe Isth
mus a competent accountant to look into
the methods of keeping the commissary
accounts there and to prepare a new
method whereby the commission will be
able to ascertain better the cost of sup
plies and the proper price at which they
should be sold to employes. .
Some, inquiry bad developed that the
commission was making too large a
profit out of the commissary and, rather
than have this happen, the Government
will provide a more liberal bill of fare, its
object being to keep up the food supply
at a high standard. There was no evi
dence of graft, however, the Secretary declared.
DENVER MINT STANDS THE TEST
So Foundation for Report of Irregu
larities. WASHINGTON, June 29. After a thor
ough investigation into the conditions in
the Denver mint an official denial was
made at the Treasury Department today
of any Irregularity or suspicion of dis
honesty on the part of anyone connected
with it.
The statement says the fact that such
an investigation was being made and
that a coin outside the limits of tolerance
was found bad been made the basis of
exag-erated reports. It is stated that
there is no foundation for the statement
that a consignment of Denver coins
was rejected abroad and returned to this
country. The only condemned coins that
the department has knowledge of, it is
said, are those discovered by the commis
sion and by its own Inquiry.
"The coinage has not been debased."
the statement adds. "Of the pieces
found outside the limits as many were
above as below. Nobody profited by
such errors as were made."
-. In conclusion it is stated that those
connected with the mint were spurred by
an ambition to make a good showing In
the output for the new institution and
they crowded the work too fast for a
force somewhat inexperienced.

SEVEN THOUSAND PEOPLE SEE
OPENING-DAY RACES.
Talent Is Frequently - Upset, -Winner
Carrying; 35 1.
Track In Fine bape. .
SEATTLE, Wash., June 29. (Special.)
Seven thousand persons helped the King
County Fair Association open The Mead
ows today. It was the best opening-day
crowd that has ever been gathered at the
track and there were Just enough favor
ites finishing In front to keep up ths
courage of- the talent. It was a field day
for the bookies, a gala occasion for the
crowd and an auspicious time for the
horses. Two days of rainfall pounded the
track into excellent shape, for the down
pour has never been hard enough to make
the going bad. At that, only Indifferent
time was made, for most of the stables
refused to send out their best beause
of the long ride from California, just
completed. Seattle is filled with horse
men, and the season looks like the big
gest thing ever pulled off here.
Arthur McKnight made a debut as
starter, practically leaving Lord Provost
at the post. With a sorry start, the geld
ing ran a magnificent race, but couldn't
catch EH Chlhauhau, who got away sec
ond. Redmont took the show.
The talent was badly stung in the sec
ond race, Red Reynard going to the post
unsupported by bis own very little back
ing and winning the race. Rudabek, carry
ing the bulk of the coin, failed to make a
showing. Eltln King, well played, ran
himself out before the stretch was reached
and quit.
The third race was another upset for
the public. Balnade carrying off the hon
ors from the ' heavily played favorites
College Widow and Raleigh. The winner
was lightly played at 25 to 1. It was a
pretty race to watch, and Balnade was
nicely ridden. The public favorites fol
lowed Balnade under the wire In order
mentioned.
The fourth race, the Opening Handicap,
brought out very heavy betting. With
but four entries to pick from, the public
let the bookies make Llsaro favorite,
but placed the bulk of its coin on St.
Francis, who lived up to expectations.
Miss Officious was easily second, Lisaro
and Martinmas apparently disliking the
going.
Judge captured the fifth race, being
the first favorite of the day to win, and
his victory was a popular one. Ha was
carefully ridden and made fast time when
turned loose in the stretch. Common Sue
finished gamely on three legs. She will
not start again for some weeks.
The starter gave the last race to CoL
Jewel, who beat The Barrier. Bragg
was an odds-on favorite, carried heavy
money, and should have won. He passed
Col. Jewel and led In the stretch, when
Keogh stopped riding and Col. Jewel came
on again. The finish was so close that
the crowd surrounded the judges' stand
clamoring for Bragg. Keogh came in
for some hot scorching by angry losers.

assault had been committed by the deceased

they were fully satisfied that no actual as
sault bad been committed, but that there
had been an attempted assault.
Counsel for Judge Loving, on being

"The conclusion of the Jury to the
effect that no assault was. committed
was absolutely correct."

Scandal in Army Life to Be Investi

ly Declines to Discuss the
Case for Publication.
CHICAGO, June -29. (Special.) "I am
an army officer and a gentleman. I can
not answer any charges made against me
by a woman."
This was the reply given today by
Lieutenant-Colonel William F. Tucker to
the sensational charges filed in the War
Department at Washington by his
mother-in-law, Mrs. John A. Logan,
widow of the famous Civil War General,
which involved the United States Army
in another scandal. Although the
charges allege scandalous conduct by
Lieutenant-Colonel Tucker while in the
Philippines, resulting, it Is declared, in
a : separation from his wife, formerly
Miss "Dolly" Logan, the army discipline
and chivalry of a gentleman sealed the
lips of the officer. He met the grave
charges with silence.
Lieutenant-Colonel Tucker paced the of
f'ce of the Chief Paymaster of the De
partment of the Lakes in the Federal
building, but refused to say a word. Even
the prospects of a court-martial and the
I probability of discharge from the army
were not sufficient to cause him to an
swer a woman and defend his character.

Tuckers became divorced it was the In
tention of the Army man to marry Mrs.
Piatt. When the latter passed through
this city on ber way East, she was In
terviewed on the subject and denied that
any such understanding existed. The
Colonel refused to discuss the reported

STAYS TO LAST MUTE
MRS. TERRELL'S NEAT RE
VENGE ON MRS. HOKE SMITH.
Change of Georgia Governors
Marked by Friction Between Re
tiring and Incoming Wives.
ATLANTA, Ga., June 29. (Special.)
Joseph M. Terrell today transferred the
office of Governor of Georgia to Hoke
Smith without a hitch. Outwardly all
was harmony at the Capitol, where Mr.
Smith was inaugurated, but there was
no harmony at the executive mansion on
Peachtree street, where Mrs. Terrell, wife
of the retiring Governor, and Mrs. Smith,
wife of the new executive, came in con
tact. Mrs. Smith had planned a reception im
mediately after the inauguration to
friends of her husband, who had come
from all over Georgia for the ceremony,
and she wanted to get into the mansion
early in tbe morning to arrange for the
function. She notified Mrs. Terrell of
her wishes, but Mrs. Terrell sent word
the mansion would be turned over to
Mrs. Smith at 12 o'clock, and not a min
ute earlier.
Barred from entering until noon, Mrs.
Smith issued orders to caterers, and aft
It o'clock a long line of them proceeded
to the executive mansion, where they
stationed tnemseives on the sidewalk,
waiting for noon. When the clock struck
12, Mrs. Terrell turned over the keys
and the caterers filed In and arranged
the refreshments for the reception.
The feeling between Mrs. Terrll and
Mrs. Smith dates back to William J. Bry
an's last visit to Atlanta. On that occa
sion Mrs. Smith was chairman of the
committee which entertained Mr. Bryan,
and it Is said that this committee Ignored
Mrs. Terrell in making the arrangements.
M. A, A. C. BEATS SAILORS
Club Team Greatly Strengthened by
College Players.
The Multnomah Club baseball team
took all the wind out of the sails of the
crack team of the cruiser Charleston yes
terday afternoon, on Multnomah field,
and after nine innings of gilt-edge base
ball were played, the sailors went back
to their ship, defeated, 4 to 0. It was a
good game all the way through, but the
sailors were up against better players,
and did the best they could.
Morris, who was on the mound for the
clubmen, pitched a magnificent gars,
and let the sailors down with three hits.
He has nine strike-outs to his credit.
Lehnhoff. the big shortstop of the
Charleston bunch, made a couple of mis
cues that resulted disastrously for the
Jackies. Sheets was sent on the firing
line for the sailors, and was treated
rather severely. He was touched up for
six bingles, and these came in bunches.
Plowden Stoot bandied the receiving
end of the game for the clubmen, and
Dick Hathaway and Houston of Oregon,
filled other positions. The college boys
played a great game, and without their
help. Multnomah would probably have
fared badly.
Multnomah started the fun right off
the reel. In the first inning, two hits
were made, and a run was sent over the.
