STOBWORKON ALL BUILDINGS PRESIDENT SHEA MA KITS THBEAr ; TO BUILDING TBADE3. UNIONS ABE NOW IN CONFLICT leaders of Teamsters Strike and tie Officials or Boil ding TrUles - " Engage in Wordy War. Latter Accuse Former of Exceeding Ju risdictionVice President Fairbanks Asked to Use His Good" ClSces to Settle Strike But He Declines. - CIIICAGO, May 27. While numer ous small riots were in progress-today both in down town streets anil in the lumber districts, the leaders of fae teamsters' strike and the officials of the building trades were engaged -fn quarrels of their own. The action of the building trades yesterday in with drawing from the teamsters their financial and moral support, angered the teamsters, and they lost no time today in calling upon the representa tives" of. the building trades and JTe mantling to know what they meant "by going back" on "the teamsters in the thick of the light. It was made plain to the teamsters, in the opinion of the building trades, that tbey had overstepped their jurisdiction in caus ing members of their union to do eon itructive work. The particular cause of" complaint was that the teamsters employed in the handling of safes and vaults had placed them in buildings. This part of the work, the building trades contend, belongs to them. President Shea of the Teamsters' Union declared that he would order out every safe mover and machinery rigger in the city on Monday morning and stop work on all buildings where the members of the building trades were employed. No attention waspaid to this threat by the building trades representatives, and finally a committee -composed of Michael Casey of San Francisco, John Sheridan of t'hieago and Edward Gould of New York,, all members of the executive crnmed of the teamsters, was appointed to confer with the building trades over the matter of jurisdiction." No time was specified for the. meeting. Several new efforts Were made dur ing the day .to settle the strike, but none of them amounted to anything. Labor leaders made another effort to induce "Vice President Fairbanks to nite his good, offices in settling the irtrike, and a number of the members of the Team Owners' Association joined them in the move. Tbey were-informed hj the secretary of the vice; president, however, that he would not, undertake to interfere in the matter.

"The situation is growing brighter every minute,", said Mayor Weaver late today. He would not give the figures or go into; other details, Cut eonfented himself with saying that he nag received assurances xrom many councilmen, who had voted for the lease last week, that they would support him in his veto. The leaders of the Republican organ ization, which is advocating the lease, continue to remain silent. There are sigis, however, that several council men are break Trig away under the tre- mend(TO8 pressure from 4heir constitu ents and will probably go along with the mayor.

Prisoner Not Only Admits Theft off Salem Wheel, But Confesses to HaV ing Stolen Several Wheels in Port land Is Bound Over. Fred E. Prentice occupies a cell in the Marion county jail with a term In the penitentiary staring him in th'e lace. .Prentice, a yonngrman ot 20, and an ex-reiorra school boy, is ac cused of the larceny of a bleycle; in I act, be Has already confessed to the theft of. four wheels, one in THIS city and three in Portland. On Saturday afternoon ot laat week be stole a bi cycle xrom Mack liean, who Is era1 ployed as a delivery boy for, the Par tington meat market, and for th erime he must answer to the grand jury or the district attorney wnen tne circuit court convenes in regular, sea sion in July. ; " The credit for the apprehension of this' young thief belongs to Night Of facer JrTank Shedeck, who not only caught his man,' bat by a shrewd dodge secured his confession to the theft of wheels Jn Portland. The police were notified Saturday t evening that Bean's bicycle had been stolen Xrom the alley adjoining Farrington's meat market 673 State street some time during xS9 art- ernoon of that day. Officer, Lewis re membered seeing a young stranger walk into the alley, mounTlr wheel "and ride toward Ferry street, who wT"Te a black hat and dark gray suit . or clothes. With this meager description as a possible clew, the police Went Co work upon the ease; About 10 oUTtfck at night Officer Shedeck went ouftd the Southern Pacific passenger depot, and made a round of the Cozad dog and pony show tents, and soon had tiis eyes fixed1 upon a young fellow wno lie decided was the man wanted. He placed the young suspect under, arrest and rushed him out ot tbe crowd wnich had quickly gathered around the officer and his prisoner, and started IoT"Tbe city jail. On the way the prisoner' ZZ put through a smooth sweating pro cess, and before . reaching the police station confessed that he had stolen several, wheels in Portland during the past few weeks. He denied, however, having stolen Bean's wheel until Sun day morning, when Of fieef "Lewis put him into , the sweat box again ant! finally Wrung a confession from him. Officer Murphy took a turn at ETin Sunday evening, and" 'learned that Prentice had iold the wheel to Conrau Dillman, who conducts a seconu handJ store on North Commercial street, re ceiving $10 for his stolen property. A complaint charging Prentiee with the larceny of a" bicycle was sworn out in City Recorder Moore's court yesterday morning. Jaut upon being Ta ken before"lhe recorder the young thief once more admitted his guilt, waived time and was bound over to the circuit court. ' ' ' Prentice was committed to the reform school from Ashland five years ago and was paroled from that institution dur ing the .first of Marca of the present year. . " .' . ' LOST CHILD IS FOUND.

BASIS CHOSEN BY STATE , LAND BOABD FOB SALE OF INDEM NITY LAND IN FUTURE. State Now Has Available Base Amount ing to About Thirty Thousand Acres Purchasers Who Lost Title By Failure of Base to Be Favored. (From Saturday's Daily.)' The state land board held a brief special meeting yesterday morning, as Stated in The Statesman of yesterday, when the j lieu land j question was brought up for consideration. The pur pose was to adopt some set plan , for disposing of the state's base lands In the future, and it was decided to offer all of the available base, or a large per centage of it, for Bale to the highest bidder. The state now has about 30,- 000 acres of available base at hand. and this will be disposed of according to the decision of the board at yester day's meeting. The past policy of the board has been to sell the land to the first party who made application at $2.50 per acre, but, according to the act of 1903, the indemnity; school land, or base, could not be sold for less than $5, and even then, before any could be sold, the board was required to determine the real value! of the land and then adver tise for bids for the sale of it, none of which was to be sold at a less price than that prescribed by law. Some of the base-lands are worth all the way from $5 to $20 per acre, and much of it is not worth the minimum price, but the board has no fears- of having to accept any less price, and is satisfied that all of it will be disposed of with out effort. The erestion of the Wallowa forest reserve;' which is composed or over 600,000 acres, gives the state 35,000 acres of base. Of this amount, how ever, 10,000 acres have already been sold, 5000 have been used as base, leav-i ing the state 20,000 acres of available base upon which to select lieu land in any other part, of the state In which it may be found. Besides this there . TJ about 10,000 acres of base in the ex treme northeastern part of tbe " state, upon the disposal of which the board has taken no action." Prior to" the act of 1903 ' the state had sold about 90,000 acres of lieu land, selected upon alleged mineral base, but on account of the base having been ad judged non-mineral in character by the department of the interior and the se lections rejected, the pufchaser title to the lieu land failed, 'and the state was obliged to refund to these purchasers the amount which they had paid the state upon such land, or $2.50 per acre. It is the present policy of the board to protect these former purchasers from loss as much ss possible, and they will be given an opportunity to recoup by being allowed to pay, an additional $2.50 per acre, together with that paid formerly, thus giving them tbe chance to secure the land at the minimum price, and at, the same time the state school fund will be augmented to that extent. .,. - : " ...
