. . ' W. 3. Burns, of the United States se
cret service., returned this' morning to
. Portland, after an absence of sis weeks.
He has again taken charge of the gath
ering of. evidence- which. Is to be eub-
- tnitted to the federal grand Jury when It
reconvenes, next Tuesday to resume the
land-fraud Investigations. ' - '
While Ip Washington . Mr Burns and
TYancte J. Heney-held a conference1 with
'President Roosevelt, in which the presi
dent cordially commended - the , work
which they have done In unearthing the
land frauds. They held several confer
ences with Secretary HJtchcock. who is
deeply interested In the progress of the
. , .
tj Investigations.
- One result of their visit to Washing-
ton was t a substantial promotion for
; Thomas B. Neuhauaen. the special agent
.' who has been , in charge of the land-
fraud investigations since Burns went
' east. Neuhausen has rendered valuable
:; - service .to the government, and has
. gathered much Important evidence, which
, will be used In the coming trials. His
work has been so efficient that both
',.' Hener and Burns strongly recommended
. him to Secretary Hitchcock for promo
. ' tion, with the result that he has been
made inspector of district land Offloss
' and surveyors-general. There are hut
three u,h officers lir the t'nlted States,
'and Keunuuftcti will have charge of the
eastern district, extending from Wiscon

' ' "I-was In Washington much of the
- time since I ' loft Portland." said Mr.
. Burns this morning. "1 saw the inaugu-
A. ration, and Mr.' HeneT and I had a con-;
t ferenc,wlth the president ahout -the
r land fraud. He la very much interest
ed in the Investigations, and told us that
V he proposed to have the frauds probed
V to the bottom, not only In Oregon, but
' in other states as well. At the same
time he told. us that he wsnted to give
'.. every man square deal, and wanted na
' tonse extreme care so that io innocent
man should be involved."- He said he1
' ' k ne W t ha t Mr, Heney sjtdljroirliLbe
-careful as to that. He regretted great
v - ly that these frauds had been committed,
but hoped that the investigation would
' ' .prevent any similar frauds In the fu
ture. The president la such a strong
. sympathiser with the west that he takes:
.', deep interest In thl matter. ' .: '
' "There haa been very great change
" , of sentiment toward Secretary Hitch
: cock.' The wannest praise Is given htm
.. all over the country for his magnificent
. stand in the land frs,ud investigations.
. The feeling ' which formerly existed
' against Hitchcock and .which bad been1
created by persons .Implicated in the
, ' . frauds was so strong that many people
' - were convinced that he was mistaken. '
" But no one knew better than he what
the real facta were, for he had conflr
dentlal Information which ha could not
make public. .' Now that the truth is
? ' becoming known hie course is fully vln
' dlcated and the publio now realises that
. l he haa been fair, very fair, in the ad
ministration of the interior department
t While he-has been determined to run
" down these frauds, be haa had great
sympathy for the people who are hon
" ' estly entitled to the publio lands, and
he does not purpose to allow a few men
. or corporations -to acquire the public
'' domain by dishonest -methods."
Mr. Burns had little to aay as to the
pending. land casea or the approaching
, aeaslon of the grand jury. ' He declined
to' give any intimation as to the' nature
' of the evldenoe which Is to be submit
v ted to the Jury. ' When asked how the
' i indictments were viewed in the east, !
""' replied: ; . , i ' '. "
, ' "A great deal of sympathy haa been
expressed for Senator Mitchell on ao
eount of his 'age and' position. I was
impressed with the wy In which peo
pie spoke of Judge Tanner. They spoke
In- the kindliest terms and regretted
that he had been drawn into the Inves-
tlgatlon, having no personal Interest
r' In It. Kvery one believed that he took
the proper stand, and they applauded his
.; course", r . ";, '

. Jnlfllscusslng the promotion of T. B.
- Neuhausen. Mr. Burns spoke of hU
, work'ln terms pf -highest praise. V
"I stated to both Keeretary. Hitchcock
and Commissioner Richards" that. Mr.
"Neuhausen was far" and away the most
' competent official I had met In the land
office eervloe." said Burns. "When Mr.
"Henry and I first reached Washington
we took occasion to tell Secretary Hitch
' ; cock of the splendid work which .Neu
' hausen had been doing and both recom-
mended Ms promotion. -"Tho secretary
told us that he was glad to be able to

he be detailed to assist us until we

(Bpedal Dispatch ts Tea Jarnal)
Albany, Or., March . The Albany
woolen mills, ths property of the Ban
nockburn Manufacturing company of
Portland, were destroyed by fire this
morning, entailing a total loss., The
fire started In the drying-room, and waa
carried by the .main drive-belt through
out the mill in trir seconds, spreading
so rapidly that the operatives barely
escaped with; their lives, being unable
to save even life smallest' part of the
stock, machinery or fixtures. '
. The fire apparatua in the mill was
brought into use promptly, but waa in
adequate for the quelling of the fire in
the big structure, and in a few seconds
the flames poured out of every window
and room. . - ,
An alarm brought the volunteer de
partment to the scene. : Soon half a
doaen stream played on the fire, and
in a few-minute, by-good work, the
flames were confined to the woolen
mills. A hundred feet to the west
standi the big farmers' grain warehouse.
and on 'the other side, a hundred feet
away, stands tha Red Crown flour mill.
The factory waa a brick structure,
ttad with -tha beat modern machinery,
asserts holding it to be the best-fitted
mill in the state for ita slse. It was
owned by a company of Portland capi
talists, of which Charles, uoopey is ine
president. . The company employed more
than 100 operatives. It was oapltallsed
at $76,000. The insurance .is unknown
here. When the Are waa under control
several alarms took part of the de
partment to the opposite end of the
city. The' alarms proved to be false.
During the fire a brick wall of the
mUl fell, narrowly missing Chief War

luerd Barnes, while running to the
fire this morning, was run over oy an

The mill property waa Insured for an
amount between 130.000 and- $40,000.
The plant waa built about 14 years ago
at a coat of $$$.000, and later additions
and Improvements have brought the cost
up to $110,000. ine nuiiaing

will be done until the directors meet
and decide the question.
Secretary H. M. Grant says there is
insurance of $$1.0 oo that portion
of the property involved in the Ore.
Officials of the company decline to make
an estimate of the probable lose, as
they have ,had no opportunity to in
vestigate ths conditions. Messrs. Coopey
and Grant left on this afternoon's train
for Albany. About $5 employes wUl
be thrown out of work by the fire. The
mill employs IS people. when running
to Ita capacity, but at this time only
half that number were at work.
