That the Oregon & California land grant. If recovered by the United States gov ernment, should be donated to the State of Oregon as an addition to the irreducible school fund, is the opin ion of Superintendent of Public In struction J. H. Ackerman, who will head a movement to have the Oregon delegation In congress take steps to have such a grant made as soon as the land has returned to the owner ship of the United Stntes. "No ,better disposition of the land could b? made," said Superintendent Ackerman today In discussing his Idea. "The land was granted by the government to aid In the develop ment of the stute of Oregon, through the building of a railroud. The gov ernment fixed a maximum price and established other restriction us to the sale of the land." Yesterday's baseball scores: Port land, 7: San Francisco, 1. l.os An geles, 7; Oakland, t.

The last day of the Aliunde fleet's at ay horo , was marked by only one event of any i importance, so far as the official pro-' Krum was omerned. This was field" day of the sailors at Athletic park, and tonight the "dame of flowers." to be participated in by over 40 young ladies, will take place. ; An outbreak occurred on the' streets last night t" which several hundred sailors threw stones at ami; partially wrecked a small restaurant belonwiiiK to John Sen ten. The bad feeling was ihe culmination of a sys tem of overcharge tn purchaser with which the sailors have been confront ed here. Last night Senich attempt ed to charge two s:illors $tl for a meal, the price being deemed exorbi-: taut. They demurred, hut the np- pen i nine of the shore patrol compel-' led payment of the bill. The sailors recounted their experience to their ; males and finally a large crowd eon greuated and stoned the place. Tint shore patrol again rushed to the scene and dispersed the crowd. The sailors have hewn dissatisfied with their lack of entertainment here. More than three thousand come on shore- vach day, hut many, after spending a tew hours In town, have either taken the train tor l.os An geles or returned to their ships, while alleged overcharges of various kinds have engendered considerable Ill-feel-tng. Tho front of the restaurant was well covered with hunting and flags, and smile of the sailors railed atten tion to the national colors before they began (he attack on the pltice. and members of the party scaled up the front and carefully removed all the decora! Ions. When t he flags and hunting had been carefully removed and slowed away the rock-throwing began. No arrests were made by the shore patrol. Sen hh owns another small place ami the sathirs have been heard to make threats against this place also. KNOX HOLDS QUAKER MEETING AT HARR1SBURG HnrrlsburK, Pa., April 29.

This means that the extra crew of Japs which has been here for the pant several weeks putting In the new sidetracks will be moved to some other point and that the work will temporarily cen.,e. It does not. of course, affect tho work on tho new passenger de pot, an that Is under contract, and the bunding will go right ahead to completion. This orilor wiim probably made for tho reason that there Is very little l. ore woi'ii l,r the crew to do unt'l the freight depot is located In Us per manent place and the warehouses are moved to the north side of the tracks. A large amount of filling lias been done In the yard, but not very much more can ho dune until the build ings ure moved and that work will not bo done until tho new passenge r depot is completed. Tho regular section force of Blx whiles will bo retained, no doubt, to do tho neceasary repair work on this aectiou. ANDY GRAHAM BOUND OVER TO CIRCUIT COURT Andy (Iraham, tho Cottage drove hotel keeper, who was arrested a few evenings ago nt Cottage drove by Constable Plank, of this rlty, on the liiurge of permitting gambling to be curried on in his place of business, KT ATI': TIlKASI UKIt MAY UK IMIItTKll District Attorney Manning yester day announced that ho would Indict Slate Treasurer Steel for his connec tion with the Indicted officers of the Title (iuariintee Trust Company In their conversion of state funds. Mr. Maiming said he would not decide on what charge Mr. Steel would he Indicted until ho had made an In vestigation as to tho relations be tween tho attite treasurer and bank officials. It Is probable the Indict ment will charge Steel with convert ing tho educational fund of the state to hla own use by turning It over to tho Title bank as a check deposit. It Is learned at tho district attor ney's office that Mr. Steel would have been Indicted nt the same time bills wero returned against J. Thnburn It oss, John Altchlsou, T. T. Ilurknart nnd Ceorge II. Hill, hut for tho fart that ho was wanted aa a witness for the prosecution and had he been In dicted he would not hnvo been avail able In that capacity. However, Steel was a disappointment to tho stale In the Itoss trial, falling to shed any light upon his deposit of slate funds and how they wero handled by tho bank. The altitude of Mr. Steel at the time was such as to convince Mr. Manning that the witness was with holding much that would have been material to the stale, and It was for that reason that the district attorney began a further Inquiry Into Steel's, transactions with the hank, and' which undoubtedly will result In the Indictment of that official.
