charRliiR tho Hcttlng of forest fires
and tho writing of a threatening let
ter, which was received by Mr. Hafor
Motno two weeks ago. Tho complaint
was made after a week's qulot Inves
tigation by C. K. Lewis, a special
iiRent, In tho employ of tho stato
board of forestry. Mr. Lowls states
thnt ho hns uvldonco enough to war
rant tho arrest and trial of Doardman.
A few weeks ago a number of tires
were started la tho holdings of tho
Crater Lake Lumber company noar
llulto Falls, but they woro placed un
dcr control beforo any damage had
been done. Shortly after thcHO fires
worn Htnrtccl Mr. Hafcr received an
anonymous letter In which threats
were madu o burn tho company out.
Tho wrllor was lllltoruto nnd used
vllo laiiKuaRo, Immedlntuly upon re
Cflljit of tho letter Mr. Hafor took tho
matter up with tho jioatnl authori
ties, but they declined to tako action
In tho matter. Then Mr. Hafcr ap
pealed to tho state board of forestry,
which sent Mr. Lowls, a cpeclal agent,
hero to tako up tho matter. For tho
pnst week Mr. Lewis hns boon In tho
Ilutto Falls country and uaa been
making a quiet Investigation. Ho
states thnt ho hna secured tho nec
essary evidence for a conviction If
somo of his witnesses do not "fnll

stand. It Is bolloved thnt It can be
shown that Iioardmnn sot tho fires
nnd nlso wroto tho letter.
During tho past threo o- four years
tho company has had more or less
trouble with forest fires In Its hold
ings. Although tho officials of tho
comnnity htfro had their Btisplrlons
regarding tho origin of theso fires,
thoy havo never been nblo to secure
tho neecHHury ovldeno for a convic
tion. When Mr. Hafcr received tho
lettor somo weoks ago ho Immediately
suspected rtoardman, owing to ccr
tnln statements Incorporated In tho
lottor referring to past trouble Sov-
ornl years ago Doardman, Mr. Hnfor
states, overcharged htm for certain
services and ho refused to pny tho
full amount of tho claim. It Ib bo
lloved that tltla led to Boardmnn'a
enmity toward tho company. "Wit
nesses hnvo been secured who have

appoarod to tako tho caso Mr. Ilator
ncnitalntod him with hla suspicions
of Hoardman and Lowla statea thnt

Veto of Tariff Reduction Measures
Declared a Cheap Political
Trick.
NKW YOIIK, Aug. 21. Open op
position to President Tnft nnd de
nunciation of tho republican party
chief as a "tool of the tnihtH" is the
burden of n cablegram from Paris
hy William Knndolph Hearst which
today is tnken ns puttiiti: him defi
nitely irrevocably in tho ranks of
the president's foes,
The Hearst cable was address
primarily to tho Washington Post
but is featured in Hearsts papers
everywhere under headlines whicl;
slump it as a declaration of ocn
war.
The cable, which is very long,
first considers Tnft's records and
explains why Ilcnrst for some lime
has supported him. His chnngo of
sentiment ho bases upon Taft's rcc
ords and explains why Hearst for
somo time has supported him. His
chnnpo of sentiment he bases upon
Tnft's veto of tho tariff bills. He
reviews the part the democrats nnd
insurgents in congress played in ni.i
ing reciprocity .anfi ays:
An I'mvortliy Trlelc.
"Mr, Tuft should remember that
he ii hot wholly responsible for for
reciprocity. Ho merely proposed il,
as, many a man hns dono before him.
"It was the democratic house nnd
tho democratic aud insurgent senate
which parsed the reciprocity incn-j-urc
aud made into. law.
"These bodies passed the reci
procity program with the full in
tention of having tho tariff reform
bills pass with it, aud Mr. Tatt
played an unwiso nnd unworthy
trick, not only upon the public but
upon those of his associates to whom
he was under tho greatest obliga
tions, when ho etocd tho two reform
tariff measures which congress vot
ed nnd tho country needed.
"Mr. Tnft was ejected president as
a tariff candidate on a tariff reform
and upon past pledpcs of tariff re
duction, tnndu insistently nnd im
pressively throughout his cam
paign. Tnft Hepudlatod Pledge.
"Mr. Taft's repudiation of his
pledRCs occurred when ho signed the
outrageous Aldrieh bill.
".Most of lite people attributed Mr.
Taft's signing of tho Aldrieh bill to
his easy going good nature or to
his timidity, or to his -inexperience,
or oven to his inefficiency.
"These mild nml moderate meas
ures of long promised tariff reduc
tions, these cautious nnd conserva
tive embodiments of Mr. Taft's own
tariff reform professions, Mr. Tnft
ruthlessly rejects.
"Not oven thoo who are most
kindly disposed to Mr. Tnft, not
oven those who aro most anxious
to heliovo in his honest intentions,
can any explanation of this latest
and largest repudiation of his
pledges bo made than baso betrayal
of tho citizens and squalid surrender
to ixilitieal power of tho tariff
protected trust."
