An encyclical embrac ing the results of the Lambeth confer ence has been issued from Lambeth pal ace. It shows that the decision of the 243 bishops composing the conference cry GONSPIRAGY 'i r I ffind Squatters in Possession of Land on Which Filings Have Been Held Up. VICTIMS OF LAND-SHARKS Homesteaders Allege That Portland Parties Have Located People on Claims, Possession of Which Is Still Undetermined. NEWPORT. Or.. Aug. 8. (Special.) An Indignant party of homesteaders start to day for the Slletx Reservation to protect .their homesteads from a raid wnicn nae Just developed and threatens, if success ful, to transfer to a firm of Portland at toraeys the richest portion of the rich forest that makes Lincoln County the Mecca, of the sDeculator. . This party, which consists of the most influential citizens of Newport, expects to brine back a crowd of squatters who. in turn. are expected to call on the Portland at torneys for the return of large fees paid out for locating them on lands already proved UD. The story of this transaction goes back several years. In brief. It Is this: Over a hundred settlers offered proof before the Commissioner of the Land Office four years ago and brought their witnesses and paid their fees to get patents on the land they had filed on and improved. Through the report of an Inspector of the Land Office, their final receipts were help up for "nonresidence" and each one so notified. Filings Held I" p for Years. From that day till this these settlers have been vainly endeavoring to get a hearing. Most of them were compelled M leave their homesteads and seek a livelihood elsewhere in order to meet at torney's fees and the expense Incidental to the prolonged and expensive trials at Portland. But no trials were set and today these men have been without even a hearing in the matter. Almost from the first they were ap proached by persons offering them small sums . for their relinquishments snd as serting that they "had no rhance to win." They held on doggedly. Within the last six months they have been the recipients of constant hints that it was "time to sell - before they were ousted by the Land Office." Still they hung on. Last week came a party of men from Portland who quietly bought provisions at the local stores and then hired pack ers to take them out on the claims. So fsr five men have squatted on these claim and each train seems to bring more. These squatters claim possession snd say that the Portland I-and Office has decided that these claims are open to entry again. The price the squatters have paid seems to have been in each - case 1600, payable upon acceptance of the tiling. Settlers Take Determined Stand. The settlers whose claims have been thus forcibly taken away rrom thera are up in arms. They say they realize that any slackness on their part means the Inrush of hundieds into all parts of the Siletz Reservation of men induced into paying money on assurances that these claims are open for entry, though no hearings have ever been had before any court. After consultation with their attorneys, the settlers state that they, will fight to the last ditch. Today they "start out In force to get hold of the alleged trespassers and hale them In on warrants charging them with . violating the laws forbidding the cutting of timber and the taking possession of private property. One of the squatters is located on the homestesd of Frsnk Priest, whose trial has already been held, bis being the only one of a hundred, to come off. His attorney st the time gained the case by default of the Government witnesses and prosecutor, but It was reopened on orders from Portland Conspiracy by Land-Sharks. The whole matter will result in a, bitter contest. One of the settlers con cerned, whose present interests run Into many thousands, said today, "I know Just what this means. It is an organized conspiracy on the part of land sharks to seize our lands and get what money they can from Innocent men who take their word for It that our land Is open for settlement again. I have tried vainly for four years and a half to get a hearing on the protest of the Government. If It takes 120,000 1 am here to tell you that they won't get it. I'll fight this to the last gasp, I'll have these squatters arrested every day in the year. If needful, and 111 prove that we are entitled to our home- steads and Intend to have them. I have already taken the matter to Washington." Congressman Ellis, who Is here, has been besieged by these indignant men, who assert that It is time someone took the mstter to Washington and insisted on a hearing. , There Is no doubt that unless Imme diate measures are taken by the United States to decide the matter peaceably there will be serious trouble. The squatters claim that they have already been to great expense and have abso lute assurance that their claims will be recognized. The land In question amounts In value to about J7.n00.000. the present valuation being based on the price of stumpage. TACOMA. Wash.. Aug. 8. (Specials Through the arrest and confession of 14-year-old HJalmar Waldahl. boy burglar and sneak thief. Helen McFarland. 17 years old. and Annie Bush, also 17, were arrested by Patrolman Llmbocker. Ray Martin aged 11 was also taken into custody. According to the confession of the Waldahl boy and the partial confession of the two girls, the boys have been schooled in crime and have been working for the girls on commission. The stories told of the two girls and what they had taught the boys were almost too much even for the ears of the hardened police. Through the confession of the Waldahl boy, the mystery of many robberies in downtown office buildings has been cleared. The boy admitted stealing from nearly every large office building in the city, and told Attorney Lea of robbing his office recently. According to their own statements, they have committed about every crime on tne calendar except arson and murder. Resigns as Secretary of Na tional Committee and Is Given New Job.

Several of the family headed by Mrs. Barton's son bravely threw open the Inside door leading to the cellar and. armed with a variety of weap ons, descended into the darkness with the Intention of capturing the burglar If possible.

They were caught at the table with the 'excitement of a fantan same in full sway. The of ficers surrounded them and took the money and gambling devices for evidence. The players attributed their arrest en tirely to the number seated at the table. They gave the names of Ah Hang, Wong Sin, Ah Peoy, Ah Bow, Ah George, Ab One, Lim Bong,, and Ah Jim, Chinese; and Toney Kin, Llg Matin, Ah Bey, Argo Hoy and Joe Touch, Japanese. There had been 12 players In the game up. until a few momenta before the of ficers dropped In on them. Joe Touch was the last one to arrive. He made the thirteenth and after the raid the others threatened to mob Touch for the bad luck he seemed to have caused them. This resort has been repeatedly raided by the police.

POLICE LOOK FOR SUSPECT Made Secretary of Committee That Will Assist Campaign Treasurer on Ways and Means At mosphere Is Cleared. NEW TORK, Aug. 8 Elmer E. Dover, of Ohio, has resigned his position as sec retary of the, Republican National com mittee and will become the secretary of an advisory committee, which ia to work with George R. Sheldon, treasurer of the National committee. William Hayward, of Nebraska City, Neb., who has been Republican chairman In his state for a number of years, has been appointed secretary of the National committee and will be in charge of Western headquarters at Chicago In the absence of Mr. Hitch cock. This reorganization and several Important announcements were made to night. Will Have Nine Members. The advisory committee, which is to have charge of ways and means for the campaign, will consist of nine members. The two men who are to be named will be prominent business men and financiers from different sections of the country and will not be from the ranks of the National committee. The selection of Mr. Dover for the sec retaryship of the committee pleases him and his acceptance of the place disposes of the report that his relations with r. Hitchcock are not harmonious. Hitchcock Talks Frankly. In discussing the change tonight, Mr. HItchcook spoke very frankly of the ne cessity of thorough organization for the proper financing of the campaign. He admitted that a great deal of money will be needed and he wants the party managers, charged with the gathering of funds, to go about their plans in a strictly businesslike manner. He added that be would see that the expenditures were made with Just as great care. Some of the men who will serve on the advisory committee have acoepted ap pointment already, but the announce ment of the full committee will not be ready before next week, says Mr. Hitch cock, chairman of the National commit tee. Mr. Hitchcock will be chairman of the advisory committee. Mr. Dover will be an ex-offlcio member of the committee the headquarters of which will be In this city. Xante Xo Vice-chairman. It ia not likely that any vice-chairman of the National committee will be ap pointed. Mr. Hayward will give up the chairmanship of the Nebraska state com mittee and devote his entire time to the management of the campaign in the West and Mr. Hitchcock will also spend a great deal of time in Chicago. The announcement was made- today by Mr. Hitchcock that he will hold conferences throughout the country with the managers in the various sec tions from time to time during the campaign. He said he Intended to keep In close touch with work In all sections and to confer with the party man agers whenever and wherever he thinks the Republican cause can be aided by his presence. Hitchcock Will Travel. This may keep him away from the actual headquarters In New Tork and Chicago a great deal of the time. This plan has never been followed by cam paign managers In the past, but Mr. Hitchcock submitted it to the party eaders generally and they approved of it. Mr. Hayward is the youngest state chairman In the United States, being only 31 years of age. He originated what is known as the Nebraska sys tem of polling and keeping in touch with voters of his state, which is said to be an Improvement on the Tammany and Indiana systems. He Is a lawyer. were based upon the reports of commit tees appointed to consider the various subjects. The conferences lasted from July 27 to August 5. Except in a few in stances no Intimation is given as to whether the 86 resolutions adopted by the conference were on subjects of wide dif ferences of opinion or not. Among the resolutions passed was the following: "In view of the tendencies widely shown In the workings of the present day, the conference places on record the convic tion that the historical facts stated in the creeds are an essential part of tha faith of the church." The serious decline in the number of candidates for the ministry is deplored. The conference resolved also that the purely educational systems are educa tionally as well as morally unsound. Of interest to the United States is the fol lowing: "All races and peoples, whatever their language and condition, must be welded into one body, and the organization of different races living side by side into separate or independent churches on the basis of race or color is inconsistent with the vital and essential principles of the unity- pf Christ's church." On the divorce question the resolutions of 1SS8 were reaffirmed. By a vote of 874 the conference resolved that it Is undesirable that the Innocent party to a divorce for adultery receive the blessing of the church upon re-marrying. It denounced also the growing practice of the artificial restriction of the family. The movements for peace and for the abatement of the opium traffic are com mended and the circular says that steps have been taken by the appointment of committees for closer relation with the orthodox churches of the East. The Arch bishop of Canterbury dwelt upon the striking missionary zeal. The archbishop said the solution of racial problems is the despair of the statesmen and that It is for the church to face the perplexities which daunt the civil rulers.

The Portland police are looking for Al bert Nelson, of Hood River, who is sup posed to have run away from his home and taken refuge In Portland to escape arrest on a charge of bigamy. At police headquarters yesterday there was re ceived a request from the City Marshal of Hood River, urging the capture of Nel son. Besides a wife in Hood River, it is alleged that Nelson has another wife and child In Kalama, Wash. Nelson IS described as 24 years of age. about S feet 7 Inches In height and weighs 150 pounds.

He also has gold fillings and crowns that are plainly visible in his front upper teeth. When last seen he was dressed In a dark suit and a black sateen shirt. CALLS CROOKS' CONGRESS King of Tramps Orders Meeting In New York. NEW TORK, Aug. 8. Police headquar ters have heard that Dr. B. F. Reilman, of Chicago, who calls himself "King of Tramps." and has spent the last 20 years doing rescue work among the inhabitants of the under world, has Issued a call for a "convention of criminals" to meet in this city next month. To that part of Dr. Reilman's programme which is directed toward the obtaining of safe conduct and Immunity from arrest of the delegates while they are in the city. Inspector Mc- Cafterty. in charge of the detective bu reau, made strong objection last night. "I'll order the arrest of every criminal who arrives for the convention," said the Inspector. "And I am not yet sure that I won't arrest those persons who are get ting up the affair. We want no assembly of criminals In this city." . "Dr. Reilman says it was suggested that all of the criminals will agree to do no criminal act while they are in the city.: "Dr. Reilman may believe what those fellows tell him," said the inspector, "but I won't. We can and will arrest all of them as auspicious persons, and the chances are that we will find that many of them are fugitives from Justice, and escaped prisoners, men under Indictment or men wanted in connection with va rious crimes. We will throw out the drag-net and gather them in." According to the prospectus of the con vention, criminals In all parts of ths country are to meet here to discuss their relations to society, to the police and to one another. "Brotherhood" is to be watchword of the convention. The titles of some of the addresses to be delivered at the conven tion, if the police forget to go around and arrest everybody connected with the gath ering are: "Twenty-one years a criminal, 20 years a prisoner"; "Dope and Booze"; "Do the Police Give the Criminal a Fair Deal?" "Easier to Commit Crime Than to Find a Job"; "What Society Owes the Crim inal." and "The Average Income of the Criminal." Inspector McCafferty laughed when he came upon the last topic. "They would all fatten their averages If we let them collect In New Tork." he said. "This is a hospitable city, but we have to draw the line somewhere. In this case we will draw it before the tempo rary chairman of the convention begins his opening remarks. It does seem a shame, though, to stop it before the com mute en resolutions gets Its report ready CHICAGO - HAS DRY ELECTION Brewers Join Mayor In Enforcing Closing of Saloons. CHICAGO, Aug. 8. For the first time in history, the lid was clamped down hard on the Chicago saloons to day. Mayor Busse said "close," and the liquor interests answered "We will. Letters went out from every Chicago brewery, practically commanding their customers to abide by the strict spirit of the law governing saloon on elec tion and primary days. A note of alarm was sounded in these letters which In no uncertain language said that, the saloonmen must abide by the Mayor's edict or be forced out of busi ness. On previous occasions most of the saloons have closed only their front doors and have done a profitable busi ness by means of side or back en trances. Today the. saloons were closed tight as a drum, and he who dared dis obey the order will lose his, license without hope of having- it restored. WRIGHT AIRSHIP SUCCESS (Continued From First Page.) or Its operator. Afterward Mr. Wright said to the Associated Press: "I am perfectly satisfied with my first flight. I made one or two little mis takes, but I am confident that I will be able to do all I hope for in later trials, possibly next week." Estimates vary as to the distance cov ered by the aeroplane, but the average was three kilometers, about 1.8 miles. Hart O. Berg. European representative of the Wright Brothers, gave the official time as 1:46. The populace of Lemans is enthu siastic over the experiment. Many youngsters who had not been bidden to witness It were perched In trees .surrounding the course, and betrayed their presence by spontaneous yells as Mr. Wright sailed by them.
