AFTER LAND FRAUDS
Oklahoma Grand Jury Indicts
Seven for Swindling.
GAME WAS WORKED ON INDIANS
SAYS JAPS ARE MONGOLIANS.
Bought Lots at Half Price In Names
of Dummies The Investigation
Takes In Wide Scope.
Muskogee, Okla., Feb. 4. The
United States grand jury for the east
ern district of Oklahoma turned Into
court hero today three indictments in
the Muskogee townsite land-fraud in
vestigation and stated to United States
District Judge Campbell that they
would have no more such cases at pres
ent One indictment was against
Charles N. Haskell, Clarcnco W. Turn
er and Walter R. Eaton, the second
was against William T. Hutching and
Clarence W. Turner, and the third and
last was against Albert Z. English,
Frederick B. Severs and Jesse Hill.
Each one of these indictments first
recites that the United States has al
ways exercised official functions in the.
matter of protecting the Indian tribes
in the enjoyment of land set apart for
their use, supervising through the In
terior department the selling of such
land when this is done under tho law
for such land, and also taking care of
the proceeds for tho Indians, and then
the act of March 1. 1901, is referred
to.
Muskogee, Okla., Feb. 4.- The gov
ernment sprang a surprise in tho Mus
kogee town lots fraud investigation
here today when it was announced that
tho probing.of the grand jury would bo
extended to includo alleged frauds in
scheduling "Individual blocks." Many
persons built temporary fences around
whole blocks of land and claimed own
ership on the ground that these im
provements secured deeds to the prop
erty. It had been supposed that the
investigation would not take in so wide
. a scope but would bo confined to the
securing illegally of town lots.
REJECTS ANTI-JAP BILL.
California Will Not Bar Allen Land
Owners and Their Capital.
Sacramento, Cal., Feb. 4. After a
debate extending from 11 a. m. to 5 p.
m. today, the assembly rejected the
bill drawn by Drew, barring aliens
from ownership of land in California,
by a vote of 48 to 28. The bill was
amended at the request of President
Roosevelt and Secretary Root so that
the clause applying it to Japanese only
was eliminated, making it apply to all
aliens, but the measure aroused such a
storm of opposition that long before
the'debate was closed by Drew it was
apparent that the measure would be
defeated.
The result of today's contest is re
garded as a fair test of the relative
strength of the two factions in tho as
sembly and as forehsadowing the de
feat of atl measures that would tend to
embarrass the National government in
its relations with Japan.
In substance the opposition to it was
more that it would drive at least a bil
lion dollars of foreign capital out of
the state than that it might jeopardize
the present friendly relations with Ja
pan. The proponents of the bill contended
that the state was being overrun by
thrifty Japanese who were gradually
gaining an Impregnable position as
landowners and whose government was
trying to dictate to California regard
ing legislation.
California Legislature Passes Sepa
rate School Dill.
Sacramento, Feb. 5. With tho do-
feat in the lower houso today of John
son's two bills prohibiting aliens from
being members of boards of directors
and restricting them in residence dis
tricts at tho option of boards of super
visors, followed by tho unexpected pas
sage of a third bill segregating Japa
nese school children In separate schools
along with Chinese. Coreans and other
Asiatics, regarded as tho most offen
sive measure of all, President Roose
velt again has taken a hand in the
anti-Japanese legislation In the state
legislature, wihch for tho last week
has drawn international attention to
California.
Hardly had the bill passed before
Governor Gillett received the following
message from tho president:
"Your kind letter just received.
What is tho rumor that tho California
legislature has passed a bill excluding
tho Japanese children from tho publir
schools? This is tho most offensive
bill of all, and in my judgment is
clearly unconstitutional and wo should
at once havo to test It in the courts.
Can it bo stopped in tho legislature or
by veto!"
Tho governor at once sent n reply,
the nature of which he declines at this
time to make public and requested of
the president an immediate answer.
Pending the receipt of another tele
gram from tho president, the governor
declined tonight to discuss tho action
of the assembly today.
The bill passed today, which was one
of three anti-Japanese measures intro
duced by Grove L. Johnson, places the
Japanese in tho samo classification
with other Asiatics and inserts the
word "Japanese" in tho present state
statute providing for tho segregation
in separate schools, of "Mongolian"
children. By this action tho lower
house ot the California legislature has
taken the step which tho board of edu
cation of San Francisco intended to
take two years ago, but which was
dropped after the board and the then
mayor, Eugene E. Schmitx, were
called to Washington and had several
long conferences with the president.

KILLS RACE TRACK BETTINQ.
Present Season Will Be the Last In
California.
Sacramento, Cal., Feb. 6. Racing
in the state of California received a
vital blow when the senate today, by a
vote of 33 to 7, passed tho Walker-Otis
anti-racetrack gambling bill, which
prohibits poolsclling, bookmaktng or
gambling on horse races. The bill
having already passed the assembly, it
will now go to the governor for his
signature, after which it will become a
law.
Governor Gillett has signified his in
tention to sign the measure if passed,
but it is believed that he will not take
this action until 30 days shall have
elapsed. As the bill permits pool deal
ers and bookmakers CO days in which
to close up their affairs, the present
season of racing at the Emeryville and
Santa Anita counes will not be dis
turbed. The Walker-Otis gambling bill is re
ferred to as "the Hughes law of Cali
fornia" in this section, inasmuch as it
follows closely tho text of tho Hughes
Dill, which was passed by the last leg
filature in the state of New York.
Violation of the measure is made a fel
ony, the punishment for which is im
prisonment in the state penitentiary
and a heavy fine.
McLOUGHLIN RELICS FOUND.
Friday, February 5.
Salem, Feb. 5.- Salary bill vetoes
were the occasion for another spirited
tilt in tho senate today, with Miller of
Linn and Hart of linker exchanging
uncomplimentary remarks and Bing
ham of Lane demanding unsuccessfully
that Miller apologizo for remarks re
flecting upon tho senate. President
Boworman was tho unintentional cause
of the whole trouble, but tho fact that
the storm had nn Innocent origin did
not lessen Its fury.
Thcro were three of tho vetoed bills
and they all passed over tho governor's
veto by practically tho samo voto In
each Instance. Tho bills passed over
the veto were:
Houso bill 69, to increase tho salary
of tho school superintendent of Morrow

the school superintendent of bherman
county from $500 to $1,000, was passed

Miller of Linn, Norton, Selling and
Smith of Umatilla voting "no."
It took the houso just three minutes
today to pass over Governor Chamber
lain's veto threo salary-grabbing bills
which had been disapproved for tho
reason that tho increased salarieswent
into effect during the incumbent's term
in each instance. Only threo repre
sentatives voted to sustain tho gover
nor's veto.
The first bill to bo disposed of was
that increasing tho salary of tho school
superintendent of Polk county from
$900 to $1,200 per annum.
The other two salary bills also
affected tho compensation of school
superintendents with increases as fol
lows: Morrow, $800 to $1,200; Sher
man, $500 to $1,000. Roth bills pass
ed over the veto with only two or threo
negative votes.

After allowing for duplications In
these threo classes, tho total of thu ap

MORGAN CAUSED THE PANIC.
Tuesday, February 2.
Salem, Feb. 3. Salarvy log rollers
In both houses discarding party lines
today succeeded In overriding vetoes of
Governor Chamberlain on bills to in
crease tho pay of the sheriff of Harney
county and school superintendent of
Polk and to grant fees to tho sheriff
of Malheur and Lake. The Harney
veto must yet be voted down In the
house before becoming n law and the
two other vetoes must be so dlsjiosed
ot In tho senate.
Today's octlon of the two bodies In
dicates quite conclusively that the two
bodies will reciprocate In this matter.
Tho Harney veto was overriden in the
senate? by 23 members supporting the
bill and the two other vetoes in tho
houcv were overcome by u voto of 37
to 10 in the caso of thy Polk county
school sutierintcndcnt and 62 to 4 in
tho case of tho sheriff's fees In Mal
heur and Lake.
Appalled by tho enormous call for
appropriations, the ways and means
commltteo aro whetting their knives
for the pruning. Senate appropriation
bills aggregate $1,200,000 and house
bills $1,800,000, while the secretary of
state's recommended budget amounts
to $3,400,000. Thu total of all cash
calls Is $C,500,000, making allowance
for duplications of tho house, the sen
ate and the secretary of state.
Appropriations two years ago were
$3,083,805, which exceeded those of
tho session before by $800,000.
A horde of bills creating new jobs,
most of them at fat pay, have Invaded
tho legislature no less than 200 new
seats nt the pie ocunter being provided
for. How far tho combination against
tho governor, as signalled today, will
extend for enactment of these bills, it
is Impossible yet to foretell.
Crash ol 1007 Was to Gat Riverine
on John W, Gates.
Washington, Feb. 3. A demand
Unit John W, Gates be summoned ho
fore the senate committee which Is In
vcstlgatlng tho absorption of tho Ten
ucssvo Coal ninl Iron company by the
United States Steel coriKirnthm, will
be mmlo by tho democratic members of
thu committee. The democrats believe
that Mr. Gates can reveal one of the
most gigantic plots ever conceived In
finance, Involving tho Inception of the
panic of 1007, which, according to
thulr allegation!", cost Mr. Gates and
his associated millions of dollars.
According to tho story told today, J.
Pierpont Morgan in the purchase of
tho Tennessee company, wreaked sum
tnnry vengeance en Mr. Gates for thu
Louisville & Nashvllto coup of 1002,
which, It Is said, cost tho Morgan In
terests $15,000,000. Mr. Gates ac
complished this coup while Mr. Morgan
was perfecting control of tho Atlantic
Coast, Seaboard & Southern railroad,
with n view to controlling the railroad
situation In tho South. Tho net rrsult
was that Mr. Morgan was compelled to
buy out Mr. Gates at his own figures,
This stock, when bought, was turned
over to tho Atlantic Coast Line com
pany of Connecticut the holding com
pany of tho Atlantic Coast Lino rail
road. It la now alleged that this deal
rankled In tho breast of Mr. Morgan
until 1007, when It wns found that Mr.
G.trs and tho syndicate associate!
with him controlled tho Tennessee Coal
and Iron company and hml h'Kthccat
cd their holdings with Interests In New
York. It Is Intimated by the demo
crats that certain financial conditions
were brought about which resulted In
Mr. Gates and his friends being
squeezed out of tho concern.
V The retaliation of Mr. Morgan ami
his friends Is likened by the democrats
to tho Gould comer In gold In 1873,
which resulted in "Black Friday," and
tho Hlll-IInrrlrnnn fight over the
Northern Pacific mad In 1001, which
brought on "Blue Thursday."
