THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 16, 1908. UPHOLDS ACTS OF PRESIDENTS Taft Speaks on Policies of Ex ' pansion and Railroad Regulation. EQUAL RIGHTS -UNDER LAW Tells Hart for tl People the Railroad President llojolce t Being No Longer I'mler Thumb of Trusts. Approves Employers' Liability. 1IARTKOK1), Feb. 15. Secretary Taft played a dual role In the course of his visit to Hartford late today and this evenfnsr. A few minutes after lie reached the rlty lie addressed a bii (fathering at Foot Guard Hall, and later he was the puest of honor at the "an nual dln-ner of the Hartford Vale Alum ni Association. At both Katherlnsa he was given a rousing welcome. In his Foot Guard Hall speech, the policies represented by the late President Mc Ktnley and thoso of the Roosevelt Ad ministration, together with some newer Issues, formed the basis of his address. Mr. Taft. indorsed all the bigger is sues of these administrations, includ ing resolution, on which he spoke some what at length. He also discussed iuite emphatically the relations of cap ital and labor, stating that if capital found It desirable to organize for the protection of its Interests, labor had an equal right to do the same, but that violations of law by labor would be punished Just as severely and as cer tainly as the misdoings of capital. He also discussed the Panama Canal, prer dieting Its completion In five years. ' Roosevelt tlie Peacemaker. Mr. Taft spoke of the policies likely to characterize the Presidential campaign, and placed them under two heads, the policies of the McKinley Administration and the policies of the Itoosevelt Administration. The policies of the former, he said, might be placed under the term expansion, which pol icies did not cease when Mr. Itoosevelt began his Administration. He , paid the Democrats predicted that if Mr. Roosevelt were elected, the coon try would be Involved in more wars than ever before, but instead Mr. Roosevelt was Instrumental In stop ping one of the biggest wars In re cent years. He characterized Mr. Roose velt as one of the greatest exponents of peace In the world's history. In discussing railroad measures and the legislation enacted regarding them, Mr. Taft said that, if any of the rail road presidents were interviewed today, down deep in their secret hearts they would say that they were glad of what had happened, because they are now able to hold up their heads. Some ol them could not do so before. 1abor and Capital's Rights. An interruption occurred at this point when a man in the audienc asked about the $29,000,000. fine against the Standard Oil Company, but the speaker turned the question off with an anecdote. The Secretary then took up the issue of labor unionism and conceded- the right of the workingman to organize for his own protection. He said that on all but one point the question of wages the laboring man and capital ists were practically agreed. Both knew that it Is necessary to have cap ital and that capital should have a suitable return, but there will always be l conflict on the matter of wages. It is necessary for the laboring man to provide a common fund If a strike he necessary. Mr. Taft referred to the abuse prac ticed by fiduciary corporations by which funds are diverted from the ward to the trustee. The disclosures, he said, shocked the public. There was a great moral awakening all over the country. He. praised the employers' liability bill and at the conclusion of his speech was loudly applauded. ItKXOMlXATIOJ?

Congress Persists In Ignoring Iaw About Suryeyors'-General Sal aries, Though Fees Cut Off. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 15. Western Congress men made a united effort today to se cure an Increase In the salaries of surveyors-general from JIOOO to J3000 but were outvoted by the East and South. In connection with the date It was shown that the law fixes the salary of surveyors-general fn Oregon and Washington at' $2500 and in Idaho and other Rocky Mountain states at $3000, but Congress has for years ignored the law and arbitrarily cut the appropria tion to $2000. The Western men made a plea for the increase on the ground that the department no longer allows surveyors-general fees and com missions, which ranged from $500 to $1000 a year in addition to salaries, but the plea was of no avail. Representatives Jones and French spoke' in behalf of the proposed in crease, French making an especially strong plea for Idaho because the great bulk of that state is still un surveyed and fully $1,000,000 will be re quired to complete the survey of its public land. EXCHANGE OF SCHOOL LAXD a: Fulton Proposes State Be Given a Compact Body of Timber. ; OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 15. Senator Fulton has prepared and on Monday will introduce a bill authorizing the State of Orcgorl to relinquish to the Government its school lands now embraced within for est reserves, on condition that the state be permitted to select in lieuthereof an equal area of the -same type of reserved forest land. As the school land is now scattered through reserves, there is no demand for it and the state's property is in reality, tied up, whereas, if the state is given a compact area of timber land in some accessible local ity, it can dispose of it upon demand at a far better price than It can ever realize on school sections in remote parts of reserves. It is probable that general legisla tion of this type, affecting all Western states, may ultimately be evolved along this line. National Bank at Medical Lake.

Og den'a resilience at 1175 Alice street, Oak land. She told me to place it on the veranda and light the fuse. When I ar rived the house was lighted and I could see Mrs. Ogden and her son and daughter in the front room. There was also an electric light on the front porch, and I was afraid I would be seen, so I went over the lawn of a house about 200 feet away, where it was dark. I climbed up on a high fence and put the powder on the sill of the veranda and took the fuse way back on to a lawn and stretched it out full length and lit it. Then I jumped on a bicycle which I had taken with me and rode home as fast as I could. A few minutes after reaching home I heard the report. "Mm Martin had been planning from the middle of January, 1807, to blow up Judge F. B. Ogden's house. The pow der, fuse and caps were all shipped by freight v.;hen we came down from Trinity County. The reaEon Mrs. Martin selected this evening for me to dynamite the house was because John Whitman, a friend from Weaverville, was spending the evening at our house, and in case anything happened she wanted to prove an alibi by him. While I was gone she pretended I was in the kitchen studying." The confession state? that the boy hur led powdier under the house at 1534 West street, which was. recently found, and in a lot between Sixteenth and Eighteenth streets, on Poplar street ATTEMPTS TO KILL HERSELF Mrs. Martin Tries to End Life With Vial of Poison.
