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.

NO -MORE FOR SURVEYORS
AVEST OUTVOTED IN HOUSE BY
EAST AND SOUTH.
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.

of Hercules Giant Powder.
OAKLAND, Cal., Fel. 15. A special to

following confession of "Baby John"
Martin concerning the dynamiting of
Judge Ogden'a house in Oakland:
"My reputed mother. Isabella J. Mar
tin, about the 19th day of March gave
me about 12 sticks of Hercules No. 1
giant powder and 50 feet of fuse, wrapped
in paper, and sent me to Judge F. B. 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

When arrested in Weaverville on an ar
son charge a small vial was found on
Mrs. Martin. For this phe had been
pleading for several days, saying it was
headache medicine. The Sheriff today
discovered that it was deadly poison.
"Baby John," her son, declared his
mother carried the poison to slay her en
emies with, and attempted to put it In
the coffee of Morris Abrahams, a restau
rateur, in his own restaurant. Abrahams
did not give her -the opportunity, says
Baby John."

end her life if possible.

SURE THERE WILL BE NO WAR
Bighop Hendrlck, of Philippines,
Tells of Conditions In Japan.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15. Bishop
T. A. Hendrlck, of the diocsef Cebu,
Philippine Islands, said yesterday that
he is sure there will be no war between
this country and Japan If the initiative
rests with Japan. The bishop, who has
b?n in the Philippines for four years,
arrived yesterday on the liner Korta.
He Is on his way to Rome to make a
report of affairs in his diocese to ihS
Pope. .
The bishop, who is a New Yorker,
came home by way of Japan. As a resi
dent of the Philippines, he was deeply
concerned in the rumors of war, and
determined while in Japan to learn of
the situation at first hand. His posi
tion gave him access to sources of au
thoritative information, and what he
learned, he said, satisfied him that the
war cloud was not of Japanese mak
ing. "Seventy per cent of Japan's exports
come to this country." said the. bishopv
"Japan Is financially crippled, but de
termined to recuperate, and the Japan
ese realize that war with America
would not only mean the loss" of her
best market the only market fcr many
of her most profitable prodttcts but
that In the event of war she would be
unable to borrow the money to carry
it on."
SWEPT OVER FOUR MILES
Tornado Leaves but Four Buildings
In Village of Mossvllle.
MOSSVILLE, Miss., Feb. 15. Four
whole buildings andi two halves of build
Irrs are the only habitable abodey hi
this village today. The remainder of the
structures were blown down and many
of them swept outside the town by yes
terdays tornado. .
Two old negroes, Alex Windham and
his wife, are dead and Edward Campbell,
white, is probably fatally injured. Gf
the dosen other persons painfully hurt at
thle place all are rapidly recovering. Re
ports reaching here from other towns In
the tornado's path give not to exceed five
other fatalities, only one of which has
tfeen confirmed.
The buildings left standing here are two
residences, a cotton gin and a school
houne. The buildings which the . storm
cut in two are the Gulf & Ship Island
Railroad depot and a residence. The sta
tion master happened to be.- in the half
of the depot which ,was left standing, and
was scarcely disturbed when the .other
half of his habitation went down in a
heap and then flew away piecemeal. The
inhabitants of Mosvillc claim that their
villege was scattered over at least four
miles of territory, this statement belns
based on the Identification of a hatchet
picked up by a farmer four miles from
here as part of the stock of the general
