NO PAPERS SERVED YET KANSAS CITY FLOOD
Lumberman Has Not Been
Officially Apprised Of
Matter.
KNOWS NO REASON
FOR ALLEGED ACTION.
Declares That He Did Not Se
cure Land Through "Dummy
Entrymen."
The following from the Minnea
polis Journal which contains C. A.
Smith's version of the charges made
against him at Portland, concerning
his timber land holdings In Oregon,
will be of Interest to the many
friends of himself and his firm, tho
C. A. Smith Lumber and Manufac
turing Company, on Coos Bay:
"While no papers have been serv
ed on C. A. Smith, or any of his local
associates, In connection with the
suits brought by the United States
government in relation to timber
lands In Oregon, Mr. Smith has been
Informed that suits involving lands
In which he Is interested have been
Instituted. These lands are all in
Linn county, Oregon, and there aro
three suits, two being directed
against Fred. A. Krlbs and others,
and one against Mr. Warren and
others. Mr. Smith being named
among tho "others." He says ho
does not own any of tho lands in
full, but In much of the land involv
ed has as much as three-fourths in
terest. "All three of tho suits aro civil
actions, brought by the government
to annul patents to land on the
ground that the proof Is not In pro
per form, false swearing being al
leged in -many cases.
"Mr. Smith left recently for tho
west, his particular destination being
San Francisco, where he Is establish
ing a largo lumber plant. He said
that ho was willing to accept service
of the suits at any time or place, and
rather regretted that ho was obliged
to leave tho city, but the business
at San Francisco was most urgent.
"Mr. Smith said that the suits
would not involve the holdings of tho
C. A. Smith Timber Company of
Marshfleld, Ore., In Douglas, Coos
and Curry counties, Oregon, and
could have no effect whatever on the
bonds of the company.
"While I have made extensive tim
ber purchases in Oregon,'.' said Mr.
Smith, "I do not recall that I have
bought any settlers' claims. I am
quite sure on this point. But at
least I have never procured any one
to enter lands In tho guise of settlers
In my behalf."

MARSHFIELD 9
Local Team Easily Victorious
In Sunday Game at North
Bend.
Marshfleld took North Bend down
the lino again yesterday to tho tune
of 9 to 2. The game was really bet
ter than the score indicates as up to
the first half of the seventh, it was
2 to 2 with both teams playing pret
ty even ball.
In the first half of tho seventh,
North Bend let down a little and
Marshfleld gingered up a trifle, mak
ing tho finish rather one-sided.
Marshfleld scored Its first two runs
on the start, Goldie's bad luck in be
ing hurt by the first ball thrown be
ing really good luck from the score
standpoint, as DImmIck, who ran
for Goldle, scored as well as Mc
Keown on McCutcheon's two bagger.
G. Gaffney and Wilson scored for
North Bend in the last half of the
third and Immediately North Bend's
stock went to par and remained there
until after the sixth inning.
All In all, the final result of the
game was due to better team work
on tho part of Marshfleld, more sys
tematic batting and baso running.
The nine runs were scored on four
hits two hits in the first, Including
a two bagger by McCutcheon, a hit
in the sixth which netted in no
score and a hit In tho seventh.
Nadler, who umpired the game,
came In for more or less criticism,
some of which was unwarranted.
However, a few of his decisions were
pretty rank and ought to satisfy the
North Bend rooters who kicked on
Agnow in Marshfleld a week ago. The
calling out of Cowan at home in the
seventh was generally considered
about as rank a decision as any
rooter could Imagine. There was
also a protest on a couple of his deci
sions on foul flies, calling a fly over
third a fair ball for North Bend in
the third when they scored and one
over first a foul against Marshfleld.
There was some betting on the
game but North Bend money was
scarce, most of the -bets being placed
at odds of two to one and some at
oven greater odds.
Wilson pitched a fair game, being
a little bit wild and losing his head
once or twice. Thello pitched a good
game for Marshfleld although 'not as
spectacular a one as a week ago.

that he would not be able to make a

As Mr. Jones has been one of the

the many friends he has made here
will sincerely hope that he will re

SLAM AT PRESIDENT
CAUSES A SENSATION.
Dolliver May Refuse Vice
Presidency to Hold Cum

(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, Juno
15. It was stated at tho Whlto
House today that tho administration-
prefers that cither Sen
ator Dolliver or Gov. Cummins
of Iowa be nominated for vice
president. CHICAGO, June 15. The con
vention to name the new Republican
candidate for president of the United
States Is at hand. Tho gathering la
the big colllseum which Is mado up
of representatives of every Btate and
territory In the union, as well as tho
more recently acquired island pos
sessions, will be called to order to
morrow noon by Harry S. New, chair
man of tho Republican National
Committee who will Introduce Sen
ator Julius Caesar Burrows of Mi
chigan, as temporary chairman.
On assuming the gavel, Mr. Bur
rows will make an extended speech
which is designated to embody tho
keynote of the coming campaign and
proclaim the principles and achieve
ments of tho Republican party during
Its many years of existence Tho
temporary chairman will then an
nounce tho important committees.
There is considerable discussion ns
to the duration of tho convention.
some leaders holding to the original
estimate of five days. As soon as
the work of the Credentials Commit
tee is completed, the nominations for
president will be In order. It Is ex
pected that the committee will sit
late Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
Tho managers of tho campaign for
Secretary Taft profess no doubt as to
tho outcome on tho first ballot. Tho
second day of tho convention will bo
given up to parades.
Ignore Roosevelt.
There was considerable alarm lato
today over tho announcement that
Temporary Chairman Burrows had
prepared a keynote speech of 18,000
words which practically Ignored
Roosevelt. Burrows may bo called
upon by tho friends of Taft to iriodlfy,
tho speech and to introduce a com
plimentary reference to tho president
in tho early part of his address.
There Is an appreciable falling oft
In tho talk of Senator Dolliver for tho
vlce-presldentlal nomination. Former
Secretary of tho Treasury L. M.
Shaw, buiight out Senator Lodge to
day and made vigorous romonstranco
against his further efforts In DollI-
ver's behalf. "You don't want an
other LaFolletto in tho senate do you?"
said Mr. Shaw. "Well, then don't
opon tho way for sending Cummins to
tho senate, which you will do should
Dolliver vacate his seat there." Sen
ator Long is believed to bo weaken
ing in his advocacy of tho Iowa sen
ator. It Is belloved that Dolliver
himself will settle tho question by
declining the nomination If tendered.
The situation In regard to the vice
presidency is remarkable in its as
pects of complete uncertainty, and"
tho lack of definite information or
decision as serving to oncourago tho
managers of the various candidates.
Dolliver, Fairbanks and Representa
tives James Sherman of New York,
former governor Franklin Murphy of
New Jersey, continuo to bo tho most
generally discussed, and there is an
undercurrent of opinion that an ef
fort will bo made to iinmo Hughes
for second place on tho ticket, though
General Woodford, Hughes' manager,
says ho will not uccept, or If nom
inated, ho will decllno to qualify.
