;Wahit)gton. Oct. !. Gov. Oeorg-e E.
T!hamberTaln of Oreeon arrived here
fast night He Intends to remain In
JkVaiiblnfftnn. for a week, returning home
hi thne to arriva there on about Novem
lit t, Gov. Chamberlain came to Waah
inton at the reqaeat of a number of
settlers who have lands tied up by aua
penalon . 1 rom the, Interior department.
Ills mission relates only to lands that
come under the title of state lieu land
selections, but it la Inevitable that any
Inquiry concerning audi land will In a.
measure Involve those that come aolely
under federal Jurisdiction. Thla will be,
Rot because Gov. Chamberlain makes
ny effort touching those federal lands.
ttnt because any question involving the
rtate lieu lands will naturally bring up
the entire land policy of the govern
ment.
In the Interior department, at this
time, la more or less of interest in the
land business of the general land office
In the West, because of the allegations
that there have been extensive frauds.
' The attaches of the department divide
Into two classes, one of which believes
that the existing laws should be re
pealed In part at least, while the other
class holds that the general land loca
tion laws are now all right In their
effect, but that the abuses arise In the
Upecial statutes that give purchasers of
land scrip the right to lay It on any
unappropriated lands belonging to the
(overnment.
Ask for Procedure.
The first class ask for procedure
tgalnst th individual who has filed on
land, with tile idea that from them
Rows the stream Of scandal and alleged
rorruDtlon. The second class contend
that the cases of abuse by individuals
re trivial when compared with the
high-handed steals that have been con
ducted by railroad and other corpora
Mons through the scrip laws. The tak
lnir bv the Northern Pacific Railway
company of scrip for JOO.000 acres of
worthless lands on the Rainier reserve
In Washington is cited, witn tne result
thai the company laid that scrip on 800,-
000 acres of the finest timber lands of
Oregon. The land In lieu or wnicn tne
rrio was Issued is known to be mostly
harren glaciers or charred tree stumps
high up on Mount Rainier, yet the scrip
taws allowed tne company o exenange
those lands when they were placed in a
irovernment reserve for lands in Oregon
that were of the finest 1n that state.
Gov. Chamberlain will call on the
president and Secretary Hitchcock and
ktrive to ascertain what if any steps
may be takert to cure some or tne odvi
ius wrongs that are affecting adversely
the rjghts or settlers on state lieu
Innds. nirough actlon by the federal
thorltles.
Gov. Chamberlaln'a attempt is solely
- In the Interest of the home-builder,
, whose progress towards success has
t been seriously hampered by the euspen
lons of entries by the interior depart-
inent. .

Attorney George W. Allen, appearing
as counsel for Mrs. Frank Matchette,
who caused the arrest of her husband
last week for keeping company with
another woman, made a sensational
statement before Municipal Judge Hogue
in court this morning.
The case against Matchette and Lulu
Lyle, the woman arrested with him, was
under consideration. Attorney Hume,
for Matchette, stated that huaband and
wife had made up and were willing to
live together once again. He said they
were living now at the home of Match
ettea father at Carleton, Wash.
Mr. Allen stated that he understood
matters were somewhat different He
said he knew that Mrs. Matchette was
not willing to patch up matters, but
bad been 'bulldozed" into an agreement
to drop the case.
"She was told," said the attorney,
"that If she pressed this suit her child
ren. would be taken from her and she
would be placed In Jail under bonds
of $5,000."
Continuing, Attorney Allen told the
court that the woman was under the
Influence of her husband and father-in-
law, and when she attempted to speak
at a family conference she waa told to
keep still.
Mr, Allen told how the husband and
the woman In the case were released
on ball while the wife and children were
almost destitute. He claimed that she
had been forced to drop the suit and
go to her father-in-law's home. He
offered to produoe witnesses to prove
this state of affairs.
Mr. Hume, In reply, said that no un
due Influence had been used, and that
Mrs. Matchette was willing to drop the
prosecution. Finally a compromise was
reached, it wad agreed that the con.
tending parties were to return to Port
land by Thursday, when the matter will
be heard by Judge Hogue. In the man
time the cash ball will remain as at

BIRD SOCIETY WILL
ENFORCE THE LAW
Clarence Gilbert, president of the John
Burroughs Bird society, stated today
that he will appoint the committee of
five members to see that the law passed
last winter is strictly observed, This
committee will be .named During the
coming week.
"The. society Is composed of 150 mem
bers," said President Gilbert, "and will
grow rapidly. Not a person approached
has refused assistance. Our program of
work, besides the law enforcement to
prevent killing song and plumage birds,
will be-to Inculcate love for birds In the
minds of children. To that end, we will
secure co-operation by the public schools,
and see that text-books are placed in the
hands of the young people. Regarding
the enforcement of law. we believe that
a few prosecutions will serve to convince
the public that we mean what we say.
The society hopes that after the en
forcement committee has been appointed,
all violations of law will be reported to
them."

that he had taken the pictures of the

Edward A. Beats, the local weather
forecaster, was on the stand for some
time during the morning session of the
trial. He stated that on the day of the
accident, there waa 14.6 feet of water at
the Morrison street bridge. :
Capt E. W. Spencer stated that. In his
opinion, It waa dangerous for a large
vessel to attempt to pass through the
Morrison street bridge draw. He had wit
nessed the Almond Branch accident and
thought that the British steamer should
have been in tow or two river Doais in
stead of one.
Capt. Conway, superintendent of the O

aidered It dangerous for a large ship to

LAND FRAUDS WILL

Pendleton. Or.. " Oct. 19. For several
days Deputy United States Marshal A.
A. Roberts has been In the city, and
It is now rumored and has been partial
ly verified that soma Important actions
will be taken in the matter of the La
Grande land office when the federal
grand Jury meets in Portland on Oc
tober 20. Subpoenas have been served
on several men or tnis part oi me
county to appear at that time and give
their testimony in relation to actions
of the officials in connection with deal
ings had with them.
Nothing can be ascertained in ract.
but It is currently reported that at
least five men In this county have had
their final proofs on land held up by
the land office, and It Is over these
cases that the present treuble seems
to1 be brewing.
iKcnritlnr tn th torv. nve men
whose ' names cannot, be learned, but
who are admitted to have been sum
moned to appear before the grand Jury
filed on land some time ago, each tak
lna- up a quarter section under the home
stead act. The men are all in the em
ploy of Charles Cunningham, the sheep-
raiser, and It has been claimed that
they were taking the land In order to
turn at over to their employer as soon
as they had received their final papers
The ttme came to prove up, and the
final proofs were sent to the land of
fice at La Grande. After a time A. B
Thompson of the land office came to
thla city and told Cunningham that the
proofs were not satisfactory in whole,
but that for $50 a quarter section the
matter would be overlooked and the pa
pers issued. Cunningham, It is said, re
fused to put up the money, and the of
Octal returned to his home. Soon after
that time Bartlett, the register of
the land office, came to this city and
called upon one of the lawyers of the
city who knew , the Tacts in the case.
Here he disclaimed knowledge of the ac
tions of his partner, saying that he
could not. afford to transact hia busi
ness in that way.
Soon after this interview had taken
place. Inspector : Green of the land de
partment came to this city, and had an
interview with the attorney, but, it is
understood, ' gained nothing -from "It
However, he evidently made up hia mind
that there waa-something crooked In the

There waa war and rumors of war In
Sheriff Storey's office this morning. At
torney John F. Watts asked the sheriff
that Jerry Lewis, alias Leslie, one of
the men accused of murdering Max
Calof, be taken to Troutdale In the hope
that he might prove an alibi.
The sheriff refused to let the prisoner
go until he himself could accompany
him.
"But the man says he Is Innocent,
and he may be hanged," said the at
torney to the officer of the law.
And the answer to this remark was
the cause of all the trouble. Mr. Watts
says that the sheriff said: "I would
rather see two Innocent men hanged than
one guilty man get away."
Mr. Storey, who la credited vJth mak
ing the remark, aaya that hfald: "I
would rather see three gaHry men
hanged than one guilty man gnl away."
Leslie says that on the morning of
the day the Calof murder was com
mitted he was released from the Port
land city Jail, where he had been serv
ing sentence for being drunk, and that
he left the city at once, going towards
Troutdale. On the way he asked several
people for work, and one of them told
him where he could get employment,
and also where he could sleep over
night The man now under arrest
claims that he slept In the building to
which he waa directed and that he ap
peared at the working place early the
next morning and secured employment.
The prisoner does not know the names
of any of the people with whom he
talked, but says that if he Is taken out
towards Troutdale he will be able to lo
cate them.
"I will take the man out there when
I come back from my trip to Everett,
said the sheriff. "I will not allow a fel
low charged with murder go racing
around the country hunting up witnesses
unless I am along to guard him."
