CHANGE ALL AROUND President Reorganizing Heads o Canal Board, CAN FIND NO PLACE FOR OLLIVER Steven Will Retire Early Next April After Successor is Thoroughly Broken In. Washington, Feb. 28. The president conferred nt the White House today with Secretaries Taft and Boot regard ing the details of the reorganization Fpliomn for the Panama canal work. It is understood that Colonel Haines and Benjamin Harrod, civil engineers, both members ol uio present commission will retire. Admiral Endicott, the on y remaining member of tho old com mission, will be retained, as the law re quires that one naval civil engineer shall bo included in its membership. Majors Goethnls, Gaillard and Sie bert, who woie named as members of the commission, will receive salaries considerably in excess of those they now receive, namely, $4,000 a year. It is the intention to divide among them the salaries now paid to Messrs. Shonts and. Stevens, aggregating $60,000 per annum, as long as they are engaged in canal work. It is stated that Chief Engineer Stev ens resigned with tho statement that he would remain in charge of the isthmus until his successor arrived and was thoroughly initiated into the new duties and prepared to take them over. It is probable the transfer can be effected early m April. It will be necessary for the army en gineers to make a personal inspection of every part of the canal construction work before any determination can be made as to the method of conducting work in the future. The president s letter yesterday indicated that there might be a recurrence to the contract plan, but even if that should be the case, the officers will find themselves able to manage the work in a supervis ory capacity, just as they now do seve ral of the large river and harbor projects in execution in this country. Telegrams were received at the White House today from the South, asking the president to name W. J. 01 liver, whose bid for the construction of the canal was lejected, as a member of the Isthmian Canal commission. Mr Taft said tonight that he did not believe the president was considering such ap pointment. Mr. Olliver said he would not accept the place if it were tendered him. When he has been officially no titled that the bid of the Panama Canal Construction conmpany has been reject ed, Mr. Olliver will give out a statement for publication. HERMANN SCORES. Not Friendly With. Benson; Only Did as Other Commissioners. Washington, Feb. 28. Two import ant points for the defense developed to day in the trial of Representative Her mann. One was that Hermann was not on friendly terms with John A. Benson, the San Franiisco real estate dealer now under indictment for alleged land frauds, the other that Hermann's predecessors in the land office had all, with one ex ception, removed their private letter press copy books from the office when they retired. Mr. Worthington for the 'defense scored his two points in thecross-exnm ination of Elliott P. Hough, former pri vate secretary to Hermann. In answer to questions, Mr. Hough said that upon one occasion Benson came to see Her mannat the land office and complained bitterly at the action of the land office in not allowing his claim for a survey made in California. The survey was under a $50,000 contract. The land office held that the claim was fraudu lent in that the alleged survey had nev er been made. Benson was very angry, and Hermann, during the interview, became incensed. Votes Down Jim Crow Car. Guthrie, Okla., Feb. 28.

Tho bill is known as tho "anti-alien property linMIni? hill." It is aimed at tho .Tnnnnpsn nnd Chinese nroncrtv owners v 4 l V . . i i A. in tills state and is lnionueu 10 prevent t.hnm from ncnuirmc anu owninz nron ort.v for a lomrer noriod than five vears In nrulni? tho nassaco of tho bill Drew stated that since January 1 of this year one-uura oi tno property transfers in Fresno had boon to Japan eso.

If within that time tho alien does not becomo a citizen, tho district nttornoy shall compel tho sale of his land or houses.

In the near future the department of Agricultuio will locate a pure food laboratory in some Northwestern city and make it headquarters for the examination of all food products imported into that section 'from abroad. Investigations arc now being made to determine whether it shall be located at Portland or beattlo Senator Bourne is urging tho depart ment to locate the laboratory in Port land, but before this can be done Port land must convince the department that its food imports exceed those of Seattle, or else offer adantages in the way of quarters that cannot be obtained at Seattle. The department desires to locate the laboratory in a public build ing. It is of the greatest importance to Portlar d to make a creditable showing, for if the laboratory is located there rather than at Seattle, it will have a tendency to increase importations of food products at that port, where they can be properly examined, rather than at other ports where there would neces sarily be delay. Mr. Bourne is looking to the chamber of commerce to support him in his efforts. STICKS TO HERMANN. Former Private Secretary Says Good Things for Defendant. Washington, March 1. The prosecu tion in the trial of Kepresentativ Her mann consumed today in a futile at tempt to break down the evidence given yesterday by Elliott P. Hough, former private secretary to the defendant, which was most favoiable to Hermann. Hough had been put on the stand by the prosecution with the expectation that his testimony would be damaging to the defendant, and District Attorney Baker was incensed that he should give evidence so much in Hermann's favor as his statements yesterday that Her mann and John A. Benson, who is un der indictment for alleged land frauds, were not gocd friends; that, if official letters got into Hermann's private books it was through his fault; and that it had been the custom of all out going commissioners previous to Her mann's time to take their private let terpress copybooks with them. ChristTian H. Mullerand Alexander E. Foster, who had been messengers in the land office under Hermann and who destroyed the letter press copybooks by his ireciton, testified to the part they had played. Mr. Muller received an order from Hermann three weeks be fore the latter retired to take tho letter books, about 35 in number, from Her mann's private room. Beatty to Continue Duties.
