Over the Suit Brought by the Corvallis & Eastern to Pre vent the State Disposing of Tide Lands at One Time Grant ed It, Which It Never Earned The Case is Now Involving Millions of Dollars' Worth of Property. When the state land board meets to consider the question of appealing In behalf of the state In the case brought against it by the Corvallis & Eastern Railroad company, which involves the title to tide lands In Lincoln county valued at millions of dollars, there Is going to be a division of opinion, for Governor West will Insist that special counsel shall be employed by the state and State Treasurer Kay will Insist upon the attorney-general handling the case. Secretary of State Olcott will also participate In the fray, but which side he will take Is problematical, but his vote will decide the contest Resolutions have been passed by the Commercial Club of Newport, asking that the case be appealed, and asking MUST PASS THE BILLS BY TUESDAY IF CONGRESS FAILS TO PASS POST OFFICE API'ROIMUATION BILLS BY MIDNIGHT MONDAY, ALL SERVICE WILL STOP. tisiTBo pskss ijaho wtni Washington,' June 28. "If congress neglects to pass the postofflce appro priation bill before midnight on Mon wy" said Postmaster General Hitch cock in a statement Issued today, "or if proper provision is not made for the continuance of the service, the effect will be felt lu the whole coun try.

Casslus Peck has offered bis services to the governor for $4000, If he wins, and $800 If he should lose. The gov ernor does not seem to care whother he Is employed or not, but was emphatio this morning In declaring that spe cial counsel should be employed. State Treasurer Kay takes the atti tude that the attorney-general Is the paid attorney of the people, and com petent to handle the case. In view of this, he does not favor raying out the staet's money for special counsel, and will oppose It to the end. The attorney-general is perfecting an appeal in the case, and it was when the governor learned this that he made the declaration that he fa vored employing sneolul counsel. 00U.OOO persons are dependent for their living. At one blow need will come iipcxu; them with all Us attendant hardships, misery and hunger. "A greiit many postofflce leases will c-xplre automatically; contracts for envelopes, twine and other materials used in quantities in the service will become Inoperative, and the great plants which furnish the commodities to the government will have to close their doors or cut their force to the limit. "All over the country the cessation of all mall service will work the greatest lnconvelnence, and often In estimable hardships. Important let ters cannot even be sent, much less delivered. "Every Individual In the country will be affected the great majority direct ly and others lndlroctly. "The postal service Is a trenieudous machine, the greatest business estub llphment In the whole world. To have Its activities abruptly stopped would bo a Bhock to the nation and to the nation's confidence In Its govern ment."

After conference with law officers of various departments were held today, it seems probable that before night President Taft would Issue a statement assum- lng full responsibility for keep- t lng all the departments and branches of the government running Monday, In spite of the fact that the present ap- proprlatlons expire Sunday at midnight and no provision has been made for the payment of government employes after that time. :es THE WHOLE F.

Hums, the head of the National Deteqtlve . bu reau, and his detectives, was made today by E. A. Clancy, of this city, former member of the executive com mittee of the International Bridge and Structural Iron Workers union, of which John J. McN'amara was for merly secretary, in a signed state ment today, Clancy says: 'Regarding the press dispatches from I xs Angeles which stated that one Guy Iliddinger, a Chicago Burns detective, who Is alleged to have tes tified that I was a traitor to the cause of labor by having furnished Darns with Information, I have this to Bay: I have not furnished Mr. Burns or any other detectives with Information because 1 have none to give of the kind they want. I do not know Mr. Diddlnger. 1 have spoken to Mr. Burns only once In my llfo, and that was at the office of the Bridge and Struc tural Iron Workers In Indianapolis immediately after tho arrest of J. J. McN'amara. At that time Mr. Burns called me aside and Informed me very confidentially and sympathetically that If It had not been for me and my rienda In San Frunclsco, particularly Fremont Older we would all have been arrested. That Is all the con versation 1 have ever nad with Burns. "As for any conference between !llurn and myself In Fremont Older' I office that Is equally untrue. If Guy ' Hlddlnger is testifying as reHrted In I the papers he Is a liar and a perjurer, I all of which will be conclusively I proved to the satisfaction of every body before these trials are finished. !

' RESULT AS WISE 011ES GUESS IT NEW YORK'S 00 VOTES TO STAY WITH HARMON FOIt SEVERAL BALLOTS ALL KIND OF CLAIMS BEING MADE. (oxiTin prmss win wins.) Baltimore, Md., June 28 Clark on the third ballot; Wilson on the fourth or fifth ballot; a "dark horse" aftor the fifth or sixth fruitless votethese were some of the predictions voiced this afternoon by claim agents for the various candidates. The Clark managers declared Clark on the second ballot Would increase his vote to 486 Si, a gain of forty-six orer the first ballot. They said they would get 26 from Pennsylvania, six from North Carolina six from Virginia, six from Tennes see and two from Utah and would have the necessary vote to nominate on the third roll cnll. They look for New York to give him ninety votes on this first ballot. The Wilson bureau claimed that the New Jorsey governor would win on the fourth or fifth ballot, They said a number of delegates who voted for Clark on the first ballot would desert him the moment they discovered the so-called Wall street crowd swinging to him and that the deserter would more than outnumber those who would go to Clark hy reason of the Murphy- Siilllvan-Taggart influence. The Wil son men said they would get New York' ninety vote probably on the fourth ballot, Harmon headquarter were making no claim except that they expected New York' ninety vote to stay with the Ohio governor for several more ballots. Harvey C. Carber, national com mitteeman from Ohio, showed a list of Hi Cliflrk delegates who, ho said, would Jump to other candidates If there should develop a situation where by the votes of New York would give Clark the nominal Inn.

Fifth Regiment Armory, naltlmore,! Md., June 28. With all trace of last night' storm removed, save In ths tired faces of the delegates, conven tion hall wa once more packed this afternoon for the nominating lesslon of the Democratic host. The gallorlc were filled to overflowing an hour be fore the time sot for the meeting. But there wore very few delegate In their place. The vast hall had been made spick and span once again; the stand ard showing tho delegutos' seats had been again fastoned to the floor, and new seat cuhstltuted tor thoe broken In the excitement of the prevlou ae slon. The only thing reminiscent of the frenzy of 13 hours ago were a mon ster clrcu portrait of Governor Mar shall, of Indiana, and an oil cloth sign "We want,, Wilson both of which glared frtiW the gallery rail. ' It was noticeable, that elmpers among the policeman and delegates alike wore none too equnble. Brief excitement was created on the floor when a Missouri delegate atetmpted to seat a boy In the front row near him. A policeman promptly ejected the youth. The New York delegates, In a cau cus, Just before the convention assem bled, agreed 'for the present to vote for Governor Harmon." This decision will hold good, Judge Parker ald, until It Is seen that a iio,.,!natlon can be made, and "then the delegates will be ready to vote for nny good Democrat." The Clark munugnri are making supremo effort to get the spnuker named on one of the first three bal lots, when the hour for the convention to assemble arrived. Kveryone of the chieftain was pro elytlng. Former Governor Francis and euator Stone personally appealed to Murphy, of Tammany, and to the leader of the Harmon boom. "If we can't land Clark early there will bo danger of some one you don't want, possibly llryan hlmBelf, land ing," wits the appeal made. Murphy was non-committal, merely saying If before New York was reached In the balloting there esemd a chance for ac holce, the Kmpire stale might swing Into line. The Harmon manager positively re fused to withdraw their man. "We can muster r70 voles after the favorite sou; me withdrawn," said j Hugh L. Nichols, "and we think we' can get the balance when the show down conies." The Wilson men Insisted that they were uncovering progressive senti ment momentarily.
