THE SUNDAY OREGONIANV PORTLAND. SEPTEMBER 15, 1907. E 81 SPECULATORS Bona Fide Settlers Crowded Out of Federal Irriga tion Tracts. GARFIELD LEARNS TRUTH) Secretary Seeks Method of Freezing Out Speculators May Require Large Advance Payment for Water Right. OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, Sept. 14. Speculators are overrunning Government irrigation projects, crowding out bona flde set tlers, and are undertaking to hold land until after water is turned on, when they propose to sell at a good profit. This fact was discovered by Secretary Garfield and, Director Newell on their rerent tour -through the West, and in some localities it was found that a majority of the entries had been made by persons who intend to sell out, and who have no idea of making perma nent homes on the land. How to eliminate speculators Is a Jiroblem on which the Department is now working. The most feasible plan at hand appears to be the requirement that all settlers on land under Gov ernment projects be compelled to pay one-tenth of the cost of their water right at the time they make filing in the local Land Office. Usually the first payment, is not demanded until one year after wader is delivered on the land. At Huntley, Montana, advance pay ments were required and in conse quence that Is the only project in the West that is free from speculators. Jlr. Garfield is expected soon to take some action looking to checking spec ulations. SMALL HOPK OF PROMOTION feourne's. Plea on Behalf of Colonel Crawford Turned Dow n. OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU. "Washington, Sept. 14. Colonel Medo rem Crawford, of the Artillery Corps, United States Army, now in command .at Fort Wadsworth. will retire from active service in January next. Colonel Crawford, an Oregonlan by birth, ap nea led to Senator Bourne some time ago in the hope of securing promo tion to the grade of Brigadier-General before retirement. The Senator took the case up with President Roosevelt and .urged Colonel Crawford's prmo tion in October, when a vacancy occurs in the grade of Brigadier-General, but the President, after due consideration, held that another officer was more entitled to this recognition. As this Ik the last vacancy to occur before Colonel Crawford's retirement, his pV motion is out of the question, unless death or resignation should create an unexpired vacancy.

Work has begun on the construction of a $600,000 cement plant rjt Three Forks, a town east of Helena, at the junction of the Gallatin, Madison and Jefferson Rivers, on both the Northern Pacific and St. Paul railways.

Colonel Gorgas is now Chief Sanitary Officer of the Pan ama Canal Zone. SHOW $500,000 IN GOLD Unique Display of Mineral Wealth at Montana State Fair. HELENA, Mont,, Sept. 14. (Spe cial.) The Montana State Fair, to be LH RRUN held in this city September 30 to Oc tober 5, promises to have one of the most unique as well as valuable ex hibits in proportion to space occupied ever seen t any such event, state or National. This will consist of ex hibits of gold bricks from Montana mines. Although the movement started only three days ago, upwards of $100, 000 has been pledged already, and it is expected that by the time the fair gates are opened fully $500,000 in precious metals will have been secured. The Bald Butte Company, of Helena, hae sent in a brick about 12x4x5 Inches, weighing 1300 ounces and valued at $24,000. It being 77-100ths pure. The Ruby Gulch Company, of Zortman, has pledged four bars of cyanide gold and silver ores worth approximately $40, 000, and the Spring Hill Company, of Helena, will display its first cleanup from ores now being treated at the new mill. This mine is supposed to con tain the "mother" lode of Last Chance Gluch Main street, Helena, "which yielded $35,000 to the placer miners In the ,early days. Its ore is very rich and will swell the total to the $100, 000 mark easily. Naturally the bars will be most carefully guarded, although, because of their great weight, thieves could not carry them any great distance. That other counties will send In similar ex hibits admits of no doubt. LETS BURGLAR ESCAPE LXIOX POLICEMAN WILL XOT WORK OVERTIME. Ignores Plea of Woman Pursuing Criminal Effect of Unionism on Public Service. CHICAGO, Sept'. 14. -(Special.) Labor union sentiment as it would affect the po lice and Are departments was exemplified today when a policeman, just off duty, refused to capture a burglar who had Just robbed a house and was pursued by the woman he had robbed. The policeman stood across the street, deaf to the wom an's entreaties, and saw the burglar de part with his plunder. "I am off duty," he told Mrs. G. H. Wallar, the victim. "I have done a hard day's work and do not think it worth while taking chances of being shot. Pleasant day, isn't it?" The trial board and police officials de cline to give the name of the officer, who undoubtedly will be eeparated from the force at once. Authorities say this would be the general attitude of polico men and firemen if they were permitted to form labor unions. The evil is al ready marked in the public schools, where the union secured a strong foothold dur ing the former city administration. JAPANESE EVADE THE LAW Get Passports to Go to Mexico, but Stay in United States. WASHINGTON. Sept. 14. (Special.) According to officials of the Immigration Bureau of the Department of Commerce and Labor, Japanese immigrants have found a way to evade the new immigra tion law passed by the last Congress, which requires all Japanese laborers to have passports to continental United States before being given permission to become, permanent residents 'here. As is well known, many Japanese who failed to get these passports have re cently arrived In Mexico and Canada. There is now a demand for permission for large numbers of Japanese to pass through the United States in bond from Canada to Mexico and vice versa. Within the last few weeks 499 Japanese have entered the United States under these conditions, 350 of whom have failed to present themselves at their respective destinations, although they have had ample time to do so. The remaining 149 have either shown up or have been cap tured and deported. Large numbers of veterans of the Russian-Japanese War continue to seek ad mission to the United States. It is re ported that recently out of 71 Japanese denied admission on the Pacific Coast be cause of failure to have the necessary passport, 51 were former privates and 12 former officers of the Japanese army in the late war. EXPEL JUMPERS BY FORCE Imperial Valley Settlers Unite, to Protect Their" Farms. IMPERIAL, Cal., Sept. 14. More than 500 settlers in Imperial Valley within the past 24 hours have joined the Settlers' Protective Association, organized yester day to meet raids on land by jumpers and contesters. It is reported here that a car load of jumpers is being organized in Los Angeles to raid land in the valley and hold by force against the original claim ants. A number of .claims already" have been jumped, Including several well-cultivated farms. It is the intention of the settlers to drive off by force and meet Invaders on their arrival and order them to leave. During the last three weeks the situa tion has been drifting towards a critical stage through the operations of an or ganized band, which sends men here with alleged information on which land can be contested or Jumped. Indications point to a serious clash between ,the jumpers and the organized settlers. GIVES FREE TRIPS IN AIR Parsevale Lets Public Try How His Airship Works. BERLIN, Sept. 14. Major Parsevale's dirigible balloon was virtually placed at the disposal of the public today at Temet, near here, by the company which con structed it in order that experimental voyages may be made to show the prog ress reached in the building of airships. About a dozen' ascents were made during the day. Each time the airship carried one pas senger in addition to the aeronaut, in charge and the engineers.

FIFE AT WORK IN IRELAND Cup-Defender Will Be a Sloop on Lines" of Victor In Last Year's Races Lipton's Design Depends on Rules. BRISTOL, R. I., Sept. 14. The an nouncement of a fourth challenge for the America's cup by Sir Thomas Lip ton has revived interest here regarding yachting. Nathaniel C. Herreshoff, the designer of the cup defenders of the past 14 years, refused today to comment upon the anticipated race next year, but it is known that he has been in confer ence with ex -Commodore E. D. Morgan, of the New York Yacht Club, who man aged the Columbia in 1901, and also with C- Oliver Iselin, who had charge of the Vigilant In 1S99 and the Re liance in 1903. Mr. Iselin was in Bris tol last' week and closeted with Mr. Herre3hoff for more than an hour. From an authoritative source it has been learned that Mr. Herreshoff has completed preliminary designs for a 90-foot sloop yacht, according to the so-called universal rule. It is said that this yacht Is an enlarged Avenger, the boat which has been so successful dur ing the past year. The Avenger won at the principal races in the cruise of the Eastern Yacht Club to Bar Harbor md defeated her competitors In the most important runs of the New York Yacht Club cruise last month. The Avenger is in the 57-foot class and is looked upon as an ideal boat, especially In light weather. BUILD SHAMROCK IX IRELAND Lipton's Design Depends on Changes In Racing Rules. GLASGOW. Scotland. Sept. 14. William Fife, to whom the commission for design ing Sir Thomas Lipton's new challenger for the America's cup has provisionally been given, worked on plans and models nearly ail the Summer, but it is impos sible for him to complete them, as no de cision has been arrived at as to what rating rule would govern the contest. It it understood, however, that all Mr. Fife's experiments were in the direction of pro ducing such a boat as would he. built for racing under the new international rule, now accepted by the yacht racing asso ciations of all the-Buropean countries. Therefore, it is believed that the chal lenge sent through the Royal Irish Yacht Club stipulates this rule or the rule favored by the New York Yacht Club for Its home racing, which gets the same re sults by different methods. It was at first proposed to build the challenger at the Falrlie yards, but this is now doubtful. Sir Thomas in challenging through the Royal Irish Yacht Club, desired to have his yacht more Irish than ever, and nege tiations will be opened with a Belfast firm to build the Shamrock IV. AITCHISON TO VISIT EAST Will Attend National Gatherings of ' Railroad Commissioners. C. B. Aitchison, of the State Rail road Commission, will leave the last of the month tor the East, where he will attend the sessions of the Na tional Association of Railroad Commis sioners at Washinhgton, D. C, and the Northwestern Association of Railroad Commissioners at St. Paul. Both thene meetings will be held early in October. The session at Washington promises to be of more than usual interest. Per haps the chief topic, to come up for consideration will be the question of the National regulation of all com merce. This is apparently the ten dency of the time and the many phases of this question will make ma terial for an inteesting discussion. Another matter that is of great in terest to the commissions of the dif ferent states is a uniform system -of accounting. The Interstate Commerce Commission has lately taken up a new method whereby earnings and expenses of railways- are divided by state lines. This matter will be discussed at length with a view to uniting all commis sions on a single rule: The Interstate Commerce Commission is sending one of its members around to the different State Commissions to determine their views on this subject. The Washington session which will undouotedly be attended by the mem bers of the Interstate Commerce Com mission will be largely' educational for members of the newer commissions. When it is understood that the States of Oregon, Nevada. Ohio, Mon tana, Colorado, Michigan and Nebraska have formed railway, commissions since the last meeting of the National body, and that New York has replaced a weak Railroad Commission, with few powers, with the Public Utilities Com mission, and Alabama has revised her Commission law. It will be seen that the work of railroad regulation by commissions is of wide scope and ef fect, and new Commissioners need a large amount of education. The meeting at St. Paul will be of more direct interest, perhaps, to mem bers of the Commissioners of the West, where vital questions that affect each state will be discussed. Like the Washington gathering, it will be largely attended. Commissioner Aitch ison will be the only member of the Oregon body to attend these gather ings. PERSONAMVIENTION. Mrs. Robert J.

Two hundred infuriated steel-workers at In diana Harbor, at noon today battered down the door" at fhe homa of 'Charles Jaeger, a shoemaker, guilty of wife beating, threw a noose about his neck dragged him a block through the streets, kicking and beating him terribly, and hanged him to the cross-arm of a tele graph pole. A patrol wagon loaded with policemen rushed into the crowd and managed to cut the man down In time to save his life, although he was unconscious and nearly dead. Jaeger haa beaten his wife shockingly, his customary diversion whenever he gets drunk, which is often, and the neighbors determined to stop it. After he was revived today, he pledged the community never again to strike or curse his wife, with the understanding that If he breaks the vow death will be his portion. The police made no attempt to arrest any of the would-be lynchers. AT TUB HOTELS. The Portland Fred H. Green, D. S Har ris o. W. Clark. H. E. Diggles and wife, Chicago; George J. Bettman.
