next Monday evidenco that the Imper
ial Window Glass company is a trust in
violation of the Sherman act.
The corporation formed under the
laws of West Virginia, is said to con
trol 83 largo window glass factories in
11 different states.
The company has offices in Illinios,
Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Mich
igan, North Carolina, New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Many
prominent glass manufacturers from
these states are said to have been
served with subpoenas to appear before
the grand jury as witnesses
United States District Attorney Jor
dan said tonight
"Thq investigation of the Imperial
Window Glass company has been under
way for 90 days, and agents of the de
partment of justice have visited every
one of'the 33 plan.s operated under the
charter of the company.
ihe company was incorporated in
West Virginia early this year, and its
alleged control of the window glass
business is to be investigated with in
tent to show that it is a monopoly in
restraint of trade.
ihe imeprial Window Ulass com
pany is a holding organization, the
manufacturers pooling their output and
selling through the company exclusive
ly. Prices have been compared with
those of the American Window Glass
company and there is but slight differ
ence."
Fl-
JAPANESE SPIES MAY
NOT BE PUNISHED.
Washington, April 2. The War de
partment has turned over to the local
Philippine government the prosecution
of the two Japanese alleged to have
been engaged in securing plans for the
fortifications of Corregidor, Manila
harbor, through the bribery of Joseph
G. Saxe, an American soldier.
This has been done in the hope that
the local attorneys in Manila may be
able to find some section that will
serve to bring about punishment of the
offenders, whom the United States
code does not touch.
It is quite evident, however, that
the charge of bribery will not hold, as
the Supreme court has ruled that the
bribe must be offered to an official.
Of course, Private Saxe can and prob
ably will be tried by military court
martial, but it does not seem probable
that there will be any way of punish
ing the Japanese if found guilty.
State Commission Arranges to
nanco Project at Tho Dallos.
The Dalles Work will be commonc
ed on tho construction of tho extension
of tho state portage road from Big
Eddy to The Dalles as soon as tho
contract can bo signed up and tho con
tractors got their plant on the cround.
Judgo W. J. Marriner, member of tho
state portage commission, and Mr.
Newell, of tho enignecring firm of
Newell, Clossott & Walsh, who at tho
suggestion of tho commission has dono
tho engineering work on tho extension,
had a meeting fwith tho city council
and arrangements were made that in
sures the Bpeedy completion of the
road.
It was explained by Mr. Newell and
Judge Marriner that tho cost of tho ex
tension would bo about $70,000, and
that only $60,000 of the appropriation
made by the last legislature is avail
able. Therefore the. commission would
be short about $10,000. This state of
affairs was anticipated by the city
council some time ago, and an ordin
ance was passed authorizing the sale
of $10,000 bonds, tho money to be ex
pended in building bulkheads at tho
lower terminus of the portage road and
the inclines leading to it.
Tho extension of the portage to be
built commences at Big Eddy, some
three miles above The Dalles, and
reaches navigable water and a safe
harbor at the foot of Washington
street. At the terminus will bo bulk
heads on which freights may be con
venientiy transierrea irom river
steamers to wharf boats or onto cars
tnat may De run in on the incline, or
may be discharged from cars directly
into the steamers.
The construction of this extension
will complete the connecting link of
river transportation with the lower
river and the upper Columbia and
Snake rivers. Since the completion of
the state portage around the falls of
Celilo there has been a connection be
tween the upper and lower river, but it
has not been practicable to handle
heavy freight over this line, because
of the poor facilities for transferring
it from boats to the portage road at
the lower terminus.

Washington and Idaho Lands
held by Ballinger.
Washington, April 2. In aid of pro
posed legislation affecting the disposal
of waterpower sites on the public do
main, Secretary Ballinger today tem
porarily withdrew from all forms of
disposition 5,823 acres along the Lem
hi River, Idaho, and 4,175 acres along
the Columbia river in Washington.
Approximately 42,750 acres of land
in Montana was designated for settle
ment under the enlarged homestead
act. This land, it was said, was not
susceptible of successful irrigation at
a reasonable cost from any known
source oi water supply. This manes a
total of 28,888,240 acres in Montana
designed for settlement under the act.
The coal lands withdrawn from the
public domain, it was announced, in
clude large areas within unopened In
dian and military reservations. As"
such withdrawals are without effect,
Mr. Ballinger has cancelled them to
clear the record. These lands were
already withheld from entry because
they were within Indian or military
reserves, and their inclusion within
coal land withdrawals was a duplicate
oi tneir reservation. me total area
involved in the correction of the rec
ords was 811,354 acres, located in res
ervations in New Mexico, Colorado,
Utah, North Dakota, Washington and
Montana.

The total cost of the project will be
$3,800,000. It is, in fact, two separ
ate projects comoined, and the segre
gation to be reclaimed, lies in Baker
county within easy access from the
main line of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company. About 40,000
acres only is government land, the rest
being in private ownership. The work
will go ahead as soon as the necessary
withdrawals can be secured from the
Interior department.
The largest project includes a dam
in iniet valley liu leet high and a
concrete and solid rock distributing
canal nine miles long, with a carrying
capacity of 500 cubic feet of water per
second. The other division will bring

Klamath Falls Depot Finished.
Klamath Falls The finishing touch
es have been put on the magnificicnt
depot erected by tho Southern company
in this city. No date for the formal
opening of the building has been an
nounced and will not be until word is
received from San Francisco.
When it was announced that the rail
road company had decided to erect in
this city a depot that would cost in
the neighborhood of $20,000 few peo
ple believed that that amount would be
invested in the structure.
But instead of a $20,000 structure
the company has given the city one
that will cost nearer $40,000, and one
that surpasses in elegance nnything of
its kind in the west The fact that
the Southern Pacific has seen fit to
give Klamath Falls such a fine building
is indicative of what that company ex
pects this city to be. The depot is the I

SENATOR ALLDS IS
FORCED FROM OFFICE.
Albany, N. Y., March 30. Jonathan
P. AHdB went to his home in Norwich
tonight, a private citizen, branded as u
bribe-taker by his former colleagues
the senate, and by his own act no long
er a member of that body. Senator
Longer, who filed tho charges against
Alius, stayed here to fight.
The senate vindicated Conger today
wnen it voted, 4U to y.thnt the charges
had been sustained by the evidence
brought before it.
Conger's enemies admit he is a fight
er, and the belief is expressed that ho
will oppose any attempt to drive him
out of office as viKorouslv and with as
free an expenditure of money as he at-
tacKed Allds.
iiefore the vote was taken in tho
senate this morning, Allds resigned his
position in mat uouy, thereby releas
ing himself from the jurisdiction of
that body.
The question of what shall
with Senator Conger, Allds'
still remains to be settled.
The resignation of Senator
taken to amount to a tncit
edgment of guilt, since it
nounced recently that if ho resigned as
a member ot the state senate, it could
be in effect a plea of participation in
the bribe-taking of which he was ac
cused by Senator Ben Congor, who
himself stated that he had paid bribe
money to Allds.
