THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JAiS UARY 30, 1910. KEEPTO MIDDLE GF I ELLIS URGES Friend of President Explains Viewpoint From Admin istration. TAFT KEEPING PLEDGES Republicans Have Nothing to Apolo gize For, Insists Assistant to Attorney-General In Speech at Cleveland Banquet. (LEVELA-ND, O., Jan. 29. Wade IT. Kills, assistant to the attorney general and a friend and neighbor of President Tuft, when the latter lived in Cincinnati, last night arose at a banquet of the Tip pecanoe Club to explain the viewpoint of an Administration man on Administration policies and present-day events. "Pay no heed to the co-called Insurgents' on the one hand, or to the so-called stand patters on the other," said Mr. Ellis. "Take no counsel from those who defend Cannonlsm or Aldrichlm to the right of you, or to those who would emphasize the programme of La Follette or magnify the Plnchot Incident to the left of you. Middle of Road His Advice. "Get into the middle of the road and viand shoulder to shoulder for the per formancn of the party's pledges to the people under the leadership of William H. Taft." After declaring that the majority lead ers In Congress are rallying to the Presi dent. Mr. Ellis continued: ''What are the Roosevelt policies? Is Taft for thtra or against them? What were the promises of the last Republi can platform? Is Taft keening them or breaking them? Let in judge him by his works. "First and foremost of the Roosevelt policies is a vigorous and impartial en forcement of the law. Has the President faltered or flickered in that duty? The country did not expect a blind. Indis criminate drive at wealth simply because it is wealth." Higher Vps Not Shielded. Mr. Ellis cited the cases of John R. Walsh and C. W. Morse to prove that "the man higher up" is not being shield ed by this administration. He instanced the savings bank law, economy in public service, protection of those engaged in hazardous callings, issuance of injunc tions by Federal courts and 'publication of campaign expenaes. Mr .Ellis concluded: "With this record of fidelity and achievement, is there any Republican to night who must apologize to his pride or his conscience for the faith that is in him? When thte record is known and debated, is there any danger that the American people will withhold their ver dict of "well done.' ' BANQUET CLOSES MEET MERCHANTS SHOW GOOD FEL LOWSHIP AT EUGENE. liH l eased Membership Is Promised for Next Convention at Salem in 191 1. EUGENE, Or., Jan. 29. (Special.) The state convention of the Retail Mer chants' Association closed at 11 o'clock last ninht, with the singing of- "America," led by the University of Oregon Glee Club, after the banquet given in the Oddfellows Hall, on the corner of Ninth and Oak streets. The banquet was the most important event of its kind held in Eugene for many months. - Good fellowship among competitors and an earnest, united endeavor to correct some of the evils that are present in the present commercial system, was the key note of the convention. Probably the one general accomplish ment of the convention that is most no ticeable, ia the fact that a much greater membership is assured for the next an nual meeting to be held at Salem next year. The grocers up to the present have been in a majority as far as num bers are concerned, but the fact lias become so plain to the members of other lines of business, that the association is making its advances along general lines that affect all the lines of retail trade, that every retail Interest of importance will be represented in the future con ventions.

TEAK FORESTS OF SIAM The j- Are Managed by an Up-to-I)ate Forestry department. Consular Report from Bangkok, Siam. The total export of teak from the port of Bangkok. Siam,- for the year ending March 31, 1909, amounted to 7.693,037 tons, valued at $4,259,907, be ing a decrease of J546.3&8 as compared with the previous year. The great teak forests of Siam are in Payap, or north ern Slam, and in the upper parts of the ivakonsavan and Pitsanuloke provinces. The survey of these forests was begun in 1907 and is not yet finished. Britain has two consular officers stationed in Northern Siam, to care for her com mercial interests there, which chiefly consist in teak forests. One of these oftlcers states: "The teak industry in Northern Slam is practically monopolized by European firms. The Interests concerned are four British firms and one Danish Arm. A French firm also obtained a concession parly in 1909, but does not appear to have yet started operations. - The for ests that are leased or owned by Laos and Burmans are In almost every case worked under some form of contract or agreement with one or other of the five firms referred to. The actual amount of teak delivered at Kado, the Salween duty station for Slam teak, exceeded be deliveries of 1907 by 1925 cubic tons, and of the five-yearly average by 13S7 cubic tons, though the value of the timber shows a decrease in both cases of $10,000 and 14280, respectively. This may be accounted for by the pres ence of larger percentage of small wood than formerly, and also possibly by the general depression of trade. Owing to an exceptionally good floating season the number of logs that passed the duty station at Paknampho greatly exceeded the deliveries of the previous - year. The official returns for the year ended March 31, 1909, are here given:" Me Ping River, 66.583 logs; Me Yom River, 54.784 logs; a total of 121,367. The figures for the last five years are as fol lows: 1904, 135.140 logs; 1905, 146,753 logs; 1906, 86.066 logs; 1907. 108.398 logs; 1908, 121,367 logs; average, 119, 549 logs." These valuable teak forests are now under the supervision of a well-organized forestry department, based on the India-Burmese system, with trained European officers in charge, and the former wholesale denudation of the teak forests is prevented. Only trees of 76.5 inches girth can now be girdled or barked near the ground, which causes them to die, and a certain num ber of trees must be left untouched within a given area to seed the ground for the future. After being- girdled the tree soon dies, and is left standing, to season, for about two years, is then cut down, dragged by elephants or buffaloes to the nearest stream and floated to Bang kok or Moulmain, according to the lo cation of the forest. The teak industry forms one of the most important re sources of the country, and thousands of people are engaged in cutting, haul ing, and rafting the teak logs to the Bangkok market and sawmills. Teak wood ranks second in the exports from Slam. The revenue from royalty on teak and other wood was estimated at $412,943 for the year ended March 31, 1909. The world's supply of teak comes from Siam. Burma. India, and Java. Teak wood is not attacked by- the "white ant," which is so destructive to other wood in the tropics, and teak is thus largely used In Slam for the build ing of the better . class of wooden houses. The main uses of teak wood are for the shipbuilding, furniture, and rolling-stock industries, as aside from other qualities, such as hardness and durability, it contains an oil which pre vents the rusting of iron or steel im bedded in it, and therefore makes it especially useful for these purposes. The teak tree (Tectona grandis) s not found in Siam in the forests com posed of its own kind alone, but grows scattered among trees of many other species at an elevation, not exceeding 2500 fee.t, and prefers the hillsides and comparatively dry land In ' districts where the average annual rainfall does not exceed 50 Inches. In Siam the teak regions lie to the north of the seven teenth degree of latitude in the hilly districts drained by the Salween and Menam Chow Phy rivers, which form the great channel for transportation of the teak logs to the markets. The direct exports of teak to the United States from January to October, 1909, amouned to $5610. In Germany. Great Britain, and other countries large quantities of teak are used for naval construction. The wood market report, dated London, September 2, 1909 states as to this matter: "The landings at the docks In London during August consisted of 563 loads of logs and 479 loads of planks and scant lings, or a total of 1042 loads, as against 576 loads for the corresponding month of last year. The deliveries into consumption were 387 loads of logs and 183 loads of planks and scantlings, to gether 570 loads, against 885 loads for August, 1908. The dock stocks at date analyze as follows: Logs Burma and Siam, 27C7 loads, as against 2443 loads at the same date last year; Java, 169 loads, as against 34 6 loads at the same date last year. Planks, and conversions Burma and Siam, 2735 loads, as against 3200 loads at the same date last year; Java, 396 loads, as against 534 loads at the sa'me date last year. Total, 6040 loads, as against 6523 loads at the same date last year." Forestry in Siam is by no means limited to teak, as many other valuable woods are found in the extensive for ests, both in the north and in the south of Slam. An English company has lately taken over a concession for the working of some of these forests in the province of Siracha, but this Industry has hardly been touched yet. The total value of the export of wood, outside of teak, amounted to only $60,727 for last year. Amang the woods other than teak may be mentioned "padoo," a valuable furniture wood, ebony, rose, iron, and box wood, and many others! the value and use of which has not yet been as-ertained.

GRANDPARF.NTS KEEP GIRL Artist's Daughter Is Given to Care of His Father and Mother Wife May Visit Child, Subject to Her Good Behavior. ZANESVILLE, O.. Jan. 29. Mrs. How ard Chandler Christy's initial efforts to obtain legal possession of her daughter, Natalie, through habeas corpus proceed ings, have failed. Probate Judge Smith this afternoon committed tlie child to the care of her grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Christy, at Duncan Falls, near here. In making this decision. Judge Smith ex pressed his belief that, in spite of testi mony Introduced aa to the artist's past" life, he believed him to have reformed and to be a fit companion for the child. Christy now lives at Duncan Falls, where he went, it was testified in the hearing, to escape the pitfalls of New York. The decision expresses the court's opin ion that evidence tending to show that Mrs. Christy had been guilty of im proper conduct had not been denied or explained by herself or witnesses, and that no evidence had been introduced to show that her alleged intemperance, has not continued. It was decided that she may see the child, subject to her good behavior, at any reasonable time. Her counsel said he would appeal. Mrs. Christy was not in court.

Olga Nethersole WITH all its grlmness, its sense of depression and Its uncompromising moral that the wage of sin is death, the development of the psychological study of the character of Camille Is, and always will be, a most wonderful thing. When presented In the vivid manner, with the attention to the minutest de tails, that Miss Nethersole and her ex cellent company gave it last evening. Dumas' masterpiece assumes value in pro portion. Camille, the coquette, the demi-monde, the all that was bad, but who lived with a great love and so wiped out all her sinning, was portrayed for us by a splen did and finished actress. - She gives a sense of magnetism, an inspiration, an uncanny but none the less real identity to the role, which bears on the face of It the idea of complete mastery. Her cre ation of Camille, the tortured and un happy, was scarcely to be borne. The racking, hacking cough, the hoarse rattling In the throat, the swift catch of the handkerchief to the Hps. only to be withdrawn stained with crimson, were too realistic. If the press agents of, the Visiting Nurses' Association had only thought to bring Miss Nethersole here In "Camille" for advertising purposes dur ing the anti-tuberculosis campaign. Port landers would have bought - 10,000,000 stamps. Bit by bit the picture of hope less misery and bleak despair is painted by this mistress of emotion, and so skill ful is her work, so blinded our eyes by her personal self, her undulating charm of movement, the vital, magnetic Nether sole, that also bit by bit we drink in the hectic, gray-colored story she unfolds to our fascinated gaze. To see "Camille" portrayed by Nethersole is worth many salt tears and ruined handkerchiefs, but, like marriage and a few other evils, once Is enough. Her company is seen to excellent ad vantage. Harrison Hunter makes an ideal and picturesque Armand. He pro vided an excellent foil for Miss Nethersole. At times his dramatic ability reached heights that stamped his sterling.

DUBLIN, Jan. 29. (Special.) Sir Henry Norman, the Radical member since 1900 for South Wolverhampton, who has been appointed to the newly created Parlia mentary office of Assistant Postmaster General, Is, as one of the greatest trav elers of his generation, well-suited for a position conversant with the expeditious communication of intelligence to and fro between places far apart. Sir Henry Nor man, by joining the Administration, will break the record in being its only mem ber who has been placed under arrest In Ireland, although John Burns suf fered in his early days a term of im prisonment in England, of which he is very fcroud, In connection with the as sertion of the right of holding public meetings. - Sir Henry Norman in the 80's was In Ireland as the representative of an Eng 11s newspaper, to give his impressions of the Land League agitation, which was then In ' Its' full strength." He was pres ent at the evictions at Bodyke, on the O'Callaghan estate. In County Clare. He was allowed as a reporter to go within the cordon of police and military sur rounding the cabins from which the In habitants were to be driven on promising that he would be a mere spectator and not Interfere. On seeing the constabulary deliberately breaking the furniture of the cabins, he felt It hard' to remain passive, but when a constable struck a poor girl who was resisting the evlctors a violent blow on her bosom,- Sir Henry Norman, who is of powerful physique, forgot his promise and felled the ruffian to the ground. He was immediately placed under arrest, but after some hours ha was, on prudential grounds, liberated by the authorities. Sir Henry Norman keeps among his treasures a little ornament for his watch chain presented to him by the people with whose. sufferings he sympathized. CfoL STOLEN FROM . MINE Queer Charge in English Courts Re sults From Trade Rivalry- i LONDON, Jan. 29. (Special.) A charge against a colliery owner of ab stracting coal from another mine was heard at the Worcestershire Sessions this week. Robert . Fellows, colliery proprietor, was charged with stealing 5000 tons of coal belonging to Frank Hipkiss. from a mine at Cradley. . At torney Matthews, for the prosecution, said he had never heard of such a charge before. The allegation was that the prisoner for a period of many months worked coal' under the prose cutor's land which was the richest vein In the United Kingdom. He took -an average of 20 tons a day, and the total amount so taken, though it could not be exactly ascertained, amounted probably to 16,000 tons. Tha prisoner had approached the prosecutor several times with a view to the purchase of his property, .of fering him from $3000 to $3500 per acre for It, but though negotiations pro ceeded with that end, no purchase was ever completed. The prisoner,' In an affidavit, admitted that he had en croached on the prosecutor's property, but said he believed he had a bona flde binding contract for purchase, and when he found there was no possi bility of becoming owner, he ceased working the coal. : London School for Gowbojrs.

DOLLIVER PREDICTS PROBE Magazine Publishers Hear From Administration Leaders on Ques tions Related to Proposed Postal Hate Change. WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. President Taft told the ' periodical publishers of the United States last night that, . if they overloaded their criticism of men in Ad ministrative authority with unparlia mentary expressions and intimations as to lack of honorable motives, nobody is going to pay any attention to them. Although he made no direct allusion to "muckraking," it was plainly evi dent at what he was directing his at tack. ; r The President, addressing tha Period ical Publishers Association of America as their gueat at dinner, did not give this advice to the editors assembled from all parts of the Nation until he had prefaced his remarks with good humored treatment of his relative posi tion to the wielders- of public opinion. "This is a formidable gathering to address," said President Taft, after Le had been presented by C. H. Smith, the toastmaster. "Gentlemen who act as fates as to what is or is not current literature, would, under any circum stances, be formidable to address, and under conditions prevailing in Wash ington and in Legislative halls, it re quires a brave man, standing in any position, to face them. Critics Should Be Just. "As to controversies, let me say that all evidence questions of facts must be weighed broadly to reach an ulti mate conclusion. It is the case with every trust, as much as we condemn them for their iniquities. The evidence must be weighed. It does no good to denounce a person on the witness stand, if he testifies against you. "You controllers of public opinion and controllers of the . rulers of the country may hammer a man into indif ference as to what you say, but at that he will come nearer to doing right than if he tried to fight. "But, seriously speaking.' I would like to say that when you criticise a poor devil ' exercising a difficult responsi bility, first give him the same benefit enjoyed by every criminal, that of rea sonable doubt. - .

'"Don't use unparliamentary expres sions if you can help It, for if you do, and if you overload your criticisms with superlatives and intimations as to his lack of honorable motives, in the end you will weaken all your criti cisms, and nobody is going to pay any attention to it- , "In respect to " this matter of the postage, it is for Judicial investiga tion, and a conclusion should be reached on a calm, business basis.

(Special.) A sin gular case or judicial zeal in defend ing the sanctitv of religious publica tions is attracting considerable atten tion. Last April a woman who owns a small grocery shop at Cracow bought a number of old newspapers to wrap her wares in. Among the papers were some outer sheets of the Cracow-Jesuit organ. The Messenger of the Heart of Jesus, on which various religious illustrations were printed. A municipal officer who is a mem ber of an ecclesiastical committee pres ently visited the shop and warned the woman no longer to pack her goods in such paper. She accepted the warning, and gave him all the sheets of The Messenger she could find. A few days later the municipal officer returned with a policeman, rummaged In the shop, and found some sugar packed In the outer sheet of The Messenger. The woman was thereupon .prosecuted for "ridiculing an institution of the Catho lic church" and, despite her defense that the incriminating package had been made before she had received the warning, she was condemned to seven days' imprisonment and one day's fast ing. . An appeal was made against this sen tence to the Polish section of the Vien na Supreme Court of Cassation, on the ground that the alleged offense had not been committed either objectively or subjectively, inasmuch as the re ligious figures printed, on the outer sheet of the Jesuit organ are not con secrated, and that the woman herself had not used the paper with sacrileg ious intent. . The Supreme Court has, nevertheless, confirmed the Cracow sentence in all particulars. SCANDAL OUSTS DIPLOMAT. Austrian Minister at Belgrade to Re sign His Position. VIENNA, Jan. 29. (Special.)
