Uovernor .Chamberlain of Oregon today
In an address before the joint conser
vation congress. Chamberlain spoke In
behalf of the Rovernors who are at
tending the congress.
' The speaker recommended the abol
' lulling of state lines In the administra
tion of the national resources of the
country and placintt under federa
supervision the nation's entire natural
. wealth. He called on the governors
from the east, north and aouth to join
in his policy and promised cooperation
on the part of the went.
-"We probably all agree on one point,
he said, 'that conservation of our
natural resources is necessary to the
well being: of the country, the prpteo
" tion of generations yet unborn and the
perpetuation of our institutions. As to
the means to be adopted, we may dlf-
Governorychamberlaln reviewed the
creation of the national conservation
comraiOT'i by President Roosevelt and
declared that the question as to what
policy ought to e adopted for the ru
ture was the paramount Issue before
tlie present congress. . - .
One of two policies must be adopted
'In order to succeed." he said. "It must
be either a national or a state policy.
That the power of congress is supreme,
with respect to soli, mines, forests and
treams tributary to navigable water
ways, there can be no question.
He then quoted decisions of the su
preme court of the United Btate to,
enow the extent of the Jurisdiction ot
the national government over navigable
waterways. . '" . ,
-If thi power and Jurisdiction be rec
ognized, may it not be Insisted that it
in within the powers ot congress to
enaet a uniform code, not only to sate
sjuard the waters, tributaries to navl-
5 able waterways, but to provide for the
Istrimitlon of such water for bene
ficial use in the reclamation of the arid
and semi-arid lands of the country r
Bked Chamberlain.
. "Why may not laws be passed creat
i Ing an interstate conservation commu
nion.' authorising the. members to work
Mr connection with the departments of
the government now having Jurisdiction
over public, lands, forests, navigation,
1 reclamation and kindred subjects, and
maklne an appropriation for the pur
chase of deforested "lands in the, Appa
t lachlan range and elsewhere?" he con-
tlnued. "Why may not such a com

particularly those which are inter

objection that have been urged against
national control and pointed out numer
ous instances of difficulties attendant
upon the control of national resources
by th different states.
. PI would not for. a moment be under
stood as claiming that congress had
anv purpose to disturb rights which
a vt hMti vented thrnuarh the .national
or state laws," lie said. "But on the
contrary I insist that such rights would
be promoted by the' course here (sug

Klernan of the crippled Institution did
not darn to return to New York and
submit to a frank examination of his
financial operations, Thomas F. Gilroy,
Jr., receiver of the Fidelity, today de
clared that Klernan's statement Hmt the
company was solvent was a "deliberate
lie." xte aaned mat an examination
of accounts of the institution showed
$1,500,000 unaccounted for.
The books in Gilroy's possession today

Klernan's methods, a certain deal In

made the loan paid the Fidelity 1135.

sums. Gllrov will not trv to recover
by process of law, as some of the list

are worth only a small part of their
face value, while many bonds have ho
value whatsoever save as "old paper."
Gilroy said today that Klernan had
not "turned over his personal books to
the receiver to help him in straighten
ing out the affairs of the company.
When Gilroy was Informed -that Kler
nan had stated that he had given up
all his books, the receiver declared that
the president of the company was a
liar.

CHAMBERLAIN'S PLAN
PUTS ISSUE CLEARLY
BEFORE THE NATION
Bv John E. I.athrop.
Washington. Dec. 8. The conserva
tion proposal of Governor Chamberlain
Is regarded here as projecting an abso
lutely new phase of the national con
servation movement. In substance he
declares that "the federal government
now has control of all natural resources
on the public, domain. It may if it will
acquire other natural resources, such
as deforested landst by congressional leg
islation. Those now owned and those
to be acquired should be placed under
federal control with a uniform code cre
ating a federal commission With power
to adopt rules and regulntions along the
lines, for instance, of the land depart
ment. The alternative, if consent could
not be ohtiined for the plan stated,
would be to form a joint commission of
all states, with a uniform code for car
rying out state conservation of re
sources, thus to obviate conflict among
the several jurisdictions."
The outlining of the plan in advance
to several important officials of the
federal government here resulted In
eli'iting considerable enthusiasm there
for. It Is true, however, that hints
were given that opposition was to be
expected, especially from a number of
Democratic senators and representatives
on account of their tenacious adherence
to the theory of state rights.

SAVANTS TO SAVE
THE OIL OCTUPUS
Economists Follow ' Finan
ciers on Stand Tilfoi'4's
Awful Memory.
(United Press Leased Wire.)
New York. Dec. 8. William Rocke
feller, brother of John D.. and James
A. Moffatt. president of the Standard
Oil company of Indiana, will not be put
on the stand by the counsel for the de
fense in the government suit, accord
ing to the statement made today by
Attorney Moriu Rosenthal.
It was explained that the defense
was satisfied that it had covered the
field with other witnesses and it would
take up the remainder of its time with
expert witnesses who would be called
in an effort to show that the company
was an economic institution. College
professors and eminent critics would
be summoned, it was said.
H. M. Tilford, president of the Stan
dard Oil company of California.' resirmd
the stand today. Kellogg questioned him
regarding a contract by which the
Standard obliterated the Union Oil'
company. Notwithstanding the fact
that he had a copy of the contract In
his possession last night, Tilford was
very hasy about it and could not re
member any of the Important features.
"Why can't you remember the con
tract when you knpw so much concern
ing affairs of the Pacific Coast Oil
company, the predecessor of your com
pany?" Kellogg asked.
Tilford was unable to suggest any
explanation and his counsel interposed
with an argument against the general
line of the questions.
Tilford appeared to be a willing, wit
ness when tie took the stand yesterday
afternoon. His council led him through
the first stages of his testimony, in
which he related the story of the form
ation of the Standard of- California and
gave a technical explanation of the op
eration of Its marketing, refining and
pipeline adjuncts. In great detail . he
told of the gradual development c-f
the company Interests on the Pacific
coast, referring Incidentally to what he
termed the "inferior grade" of crude
oil produced In that region.
In reply to questioning from Attorney
Kellogg, Tilford explained that the
Standard made general reductions occa
sionally. , Tilford did not remember
anything regarding the statement that
the Standard was selling oil at Denver
for . 10 cents and getting 20 cents in
Tennesseo-for the same oil.
He replied that he "did not remember"
when several questions were put to him
pertaining to the organization of the
Standard and Its subsidiary concerns.
A lengthy direct examination followed,
and tin effort was made to establish the
"hazardous" phase of the oil industry
in the Pacific coast territory. The
"hazard," according to Tilford, included
sparse habitation and instability of the
commurfitv in the mining districts and
the increased cost of transportation to
that territory.
continuing his examination of the
witness, Kellogg asked if the Standard
Oil of California had not sold 98 per
tern or ine on consumed m the Pacific
coast territory. Tilford evaded a direct
answier.
The witness admitted that 15 cents
per "barrel was the price paid fOF
muuon oarreis or crude oil
,wnicn uie previous witness had de-
uiarea ima neen Dougtit In 1904. 1905
and
it, wnen there was no market
Oil is now worth 50 renin lan't it?'
asked Kellogg.
"That's what we pay," was the re
ply.
"It's the price. Isn't it?"
"I guess so." Said Tilford.
Kellogg asked If. at the termination
of its contract with the I nlon Oil com
pany, the Standard did not reduce the
price of oil to Los Angeles consumers
fh i' ithe lj'nlon could not compete
" iimineiiHg ura.no n, tne pu
erta comosnv.
Tilford couldn't remember, but prom-
m trireati ins memory.
In response to Rosenthal's offhand
questions as to what the government
was attempting to prqye by the witness,
Kellogg remarked:
"We can't see what you presented him
for. but may be we will find out if we
keep at it long enough."
Rosenthal then took Tilford for re
direct examination and after the Stan
dard Oil attorney had finished Kellogg
resumed his cross-questioning. Tilford
winced occasionally under the severe
fire but nothing of a sensational nature
was brought out.
When the examination was concluded
the witness was excused and the hear
ing adjourned until tomorrow.

General Slanager Schwerin
Says Costly Steamers Re
turn Small IKvidends--Com
pares Unsubsidizj&d
American Boats.
R. P. Schwerin, general manager of
the Harriman steamship lines and the
maritime optimist of the Pacific coast.
declared this morning that, although
he had plans for some $800,000 steam
ships for the Portland-San Francisco
run, he didn't see the use of asking
that they be built because people would
just as soon travel on the Homer as
on one of his floating palaces. He In
timated that the panic wasn't over, so
far as he knew; said that there wasn't
any such thing as Transpacific trade
any more, and that it looked as though
the Japanese steamshlpH would drive
the American lines off tbe Pacific.
"The kind of boats I want for the
Portland-San Francisco run would be
beauties and would cost about $800,000
each" said Mr. Schwerin. "But why
build them? In the first place I didn't
know that the panic was over. In the
second place people would just as soon
ship freight and travel over a Poor
steamship as a good one. The Rose
City gets no more passengers 'than the
poorest of her competitors. As long
as we operated the Elder people said
ft Was a disgrace. There's not a word
agatost ! now that someone else has
It. The boats that cost $65,000 each
can carry neayfy as much freight an 3
make almost as many trips as the boats
that would cost $800,000. Therefore
what's the use of asking for such
boats T'
Cotton Only Crossing1 Pacific.
Turning to the subject of ship 'sub
sidles and the effect of the ruling of
the Interstate Commerce commission
that all- tariffs on through shipments
to and from the orient must be pub
lished, Mr. Schwerin still.found no sli
ver lining toahls cloud of gloom. "There
Is no more trade across the ocean ex
cepting in cotton,'" Said Mr. Schwerin.
"Since the going Into efefct of the
publication rule all trade has been
killed.
"It was said at the time the order of
the commission was made that there
was Just one of three things the Amer
iaan Transpftefle staairufhlp compl
ies could do repeal the ruling, get a
ship subsidy, or get off the ocean. It
looks as though .they were going to do
the last. "
"Here la a concrete example of what
is happening. The Korea is an Amer
ican steamship that cost $2,200,000.
The Tenyo Maru Is a Japanese steam
ship that cost $1,700,000. The Korea is
an American steamship, built In Amer
ica by American capital and American
labor. The Tenyo is a Japanese steam
ship by Japanese capital -and Japanese
labor. Each operates across the Pa
cific ocean on exactly the same route
between" San Francisco and Hong Kong.
It costs to operate the Korea for a
round trip from San Francisco to Hong
Kong and back about $100,000 in gold.
They make about five voyages per
annum.
Where Subsidy Counts.
"The Japanese government gives the
Tenyo Maru $75,000 in gold as a sub
sidy for carrying the mall every trip
she' makes. The United States does
not give the Korea one cent. You cau
draw your own conclusions."
A funereal gloom .settled down uporn
the officials in General Freight Agent
Miller's office as Mr. Schwerin ceased
speaking. Then they recommenced their
task of considering Portland and San
Francisco and oriental rates.
Mr. Schwerin will be In Portland prob
ably until tomorrow night. He is ac
companied by C. J. MIUls and G. L.
Blair, both of the Harriman offices In
San Francisco.
E TO Fill
Who Is to be mayor of Portland after
the election of June, next? It is a long
way off, but already candidates are
either coming out in the. open to test
the sun or are being boosted by their
friends. There are half a dozen or so
already being spoken of though none
of them have signified their intention
of entering the race as yet. Some of
them, however, will undoubtedly be
come candidates.
On the Republican side It Is reported
that David M. Dunne will be one of the
leading candidates for the nomination.
F. E. Beach is also being boomed by the
Union Republican club. E. W. "Wright
a member of the, editorial staff o the
Oregonian, Is also being spoken of. Mr.
"Wright was one of the directors of R.
L. Stevens' fleht for election as sheriff
and would receive the support of Mr.
Stevens and his friends and may reas- I
onabiy expect tne support or tne ure-
gonlan.
A. A. Bailey, a member or tne senate
from Multnomah county. Is also being
spoken of as a possible candidate,
though he denies that he has the bee.
It seems to be the general assump
tion that Mayor Lane will be a candi
date for reelection, though the mayor
has said nothing that would give cause
for this belief. R. D. Inman Is also be
ing spoken of as a possible candidate,
while many friends of John M. Gearln
ore urging that the ex-senator would
make a strong candidate. It is not be
lieved, however, that Mr." Gearln would
consent to make the race.

MARTIN BOAS VOWS
TO "GET" POISONER
(United Pres Leased Wire.
San Francisco, Dec. 8. Martin Boas,
brother of Harrv Boas, who died from
strychnine poisoning last week. Is
worklne diligently with tne ponce ae
tectives. a-.ithertng evidence to support
Ms theory that John YV-alter Wilson was
the murderer who sent deadly "stomach
powders" through the malls to his bro
ther. Yesterday, when he stood over
the coffin at the funeral, Martin Boas
vowed that he would "get" the mur
derer "if it took a lifetime."
Handwriting Expert Kytka's positive
declaration that the handwriting in the
"doctor's" letter to Harry Boas was
Wilson's own penmanship Is not con
sidered proof enough to convict the
man now In "the custody of the police.

Even the fact that the water -mark on

found in Wilson's effects is not enough:
The police want to find the place where
