I 1 Mill TKMO DISCREDIT FOHR FORESTER dvcrse Interests Seek, to Show Misuse of Public Funds; Chapman Says the Charge Is Absurd.- RHODES SCHOLAR BE CHOSEN 10 11 T (jipel Dlfjwtch to The JoiirniU Denver,, Xec 22. In an effort to se cure enough evidence to brine a crlmt rial prosecution against Gilford Pln chot. on the charge of misappropriation of government funds while holding the position of chief forester, secret agents are scouring the country. They are backed by some of the richest cattle men of Colorado, y. Montana,- Wyoming, Idaho and other atates, as well as by people who have suffered financial loss es as well as the burning to death of relatives In the forest fires of the past year. i;-''.-v.'1' .." -"-" 'h 1 ' The movement, it is reported in ais patches from both Montana and Idaho, had Its inception In those two .states and the Instigators have been tq Wash ington checking up the records to see where every dollar of the forestry ser vice appropriation went. When they finished in Washington they headed for the west and have been -'in every , Im portant center where the forest service has offices.. If they get evidence which they consider damaging enough to hold the galling fire of the federal courts of the land It Is certain that a grand Jury will' Ve asked for to criminally indict Fine-hot and -one or . two . of his chief lieiitenanfV , ' v. " fV v v. :.t " - The agoifts who have been' In Denver are of the opinion that when they com plete their work a grand Jury will be called in Montana, Idauo, or Colorado. In these three states the war on the forest service has been, waged hardest and if an attempt Js , made to Indict Plnchot it Is argued that ' in one of them a Jury of "farmers," could easily be secured to bring rn the necessary true bills. Dispatches 'from Montana and Idaho carry what Is alleged to be definite information obtained at Wash ington Regarding the manner in which money was Illegally spent by the for mer forester.. - ,j . ;" , :L : The reports say that these records show that in 10 years fully $20,000,000 has been : appropriated for the use of the forest- serrlee,' fey on gress,- for;, the preservation and protection of the' na tional forests, but that every time a small blaze starts In any part of them it usually eats Its way over large tracts. ' The holder, of the 1911 Rhodes .schol arship from Oregon will be- selected this afternoon, when the state commit tee empowered . to make the appoint ment will' meet At t Jefferson High school. The successful applicant will be entitled to a three-year course , In Oxford under the endowment estab-" Ushed . by., Cecil ' Rhodes, - .the I empire builder of south Africa. The committee having the selection in charge consists of President Campbell of the University of Oregon, of Eugene; President Homan of Wil lamette s university, of Salem; President JTerrln of -Pacific university, Of Forest Qrovejj President Riley of McMlnnville college and President Crooks of Albany college. . . . . ; .Five candidates passed the Oxford responsions, or entrance examinations, but two of these will be eliminated be cause only one candidate may be con sidered from one educational Institu tion. The competitors whose claims will be considered today are J. D. Collins of Dallas, from the University of Oregon: James Fee of Pendleton, who prepared at Whitman college, and either Mr. Woody or Mr. Fowler from Mc Mlnnville college. The remaining can didate who passed the examination but lost was Mr. St - John of Eugene,' a state university man, Mr. Collins being from the same Institution, -.:.; ;'-r In Judging the candidates four points are considered on a total rating of 200. Scholarship counts 60, athletics 40. sympathy of character $0 and executive ability 40. This brings In review the student activities of each candidate.' In athleticw tho quality considered Is that of good sportsmanship and fairness, not with the Idea of calling for star per formers. Dr. Parkin, secretary of the Rhodes trust, recently visited Oregon and spoke In HA ill LINES TAKE OVER BIG CITY TRACT District Forester C. S. Chapman was asked today his opinion of the report that Mr. Plnchot was to be Indicted for misappropriation of. government ' funus while In charge of the forest; service. "The report," said Mr. Chapman. 'Is too absurd to warrant serious comment. The expenditures of the service ,are checked by the treasury department, and no payment would be made for purposes not covered by the appropria tions of congress. If It Is Intended to show that Mr, Plnchot personally bene fited by government 'moneys It wouid be a rather hard charge to sustain The balance -would be on the other side of the ledger by a good big sum." The Portland Terminal Investment company, a corporation organized and officered ty local officials Of the Ha r riman system, took title yesterday to ! 13 blocks of 'North .Portland property which, was purchased two years ago by Charles K.

This refusal was based upon a petition of voters In the precinct who Objected to the place, The county court held that none but registered voters could have anything to say in the matter, and that names wuld not be added : to or taken away from a remonstrance after the sime had been filed. Attorney B. E, Haney la preparing the appeal and will file it tomorrow. His contention is that, affidavits of legal voters, who may not ( be registered, should be counted. He further contends that names can be added to a petition after It is filed, which, comparatively speaking; would be similar to swearing in a vote at the polls, A question has arisen over the return of tha , $40 11 cense fee, in which the county court has been advised by the district attor ney's office that the fee cannot be re turned. This is based upon the theory that after the money has been paid in. passed Into the general fund, and the Identity lost it cannot be withdrawn. CONTINUES FOUR YEAR - FIGHT TO GET DIVORCE ','. ..
