1T is believed that the charge is ut
terly groundless; that its publication
was intended as. "a spectacular and SEN

concocted especially to aid the presi-

of its damaging effect upon others. Be

whole article should be discredited

the accusation and confesses his guilt

today:

spired at the White House. The
president furnished none of the facts. |
1t was we'll known before the indict-
ment against Green issued that he
was getting political influence to pre-
vent the indictment. His friends were
not at all secret about the matter. |
They boasted that they would head
Bristow off. They claimed that Green
was innocent and so represented the |
case to the New York Republican
politicians who interceded in their be- |
half. 1t is not discreditable to any |
man, be he senator or governor or /
politician, to try to help a man whom |
he sincerely believes to be innocent. |
The men who tried to help Green did |
so in the best of faith and after the |
evidence was presented to them in the /

behalf Immediately stopped If SEN

TIME FOR PEACE.
King Leopold Wants President Roose-
welt to Intervene.

Oyster Bay, Aug. Authorization
was received at the executive offices
here of the arrival in New York of G.
Francotte, a delegate to the peace con-
ference which is to be held at the st.
Louis exposition. He is to be the bear
er of credentials from the king of Bel
gium to President Roosevelt, request
ing the latter to use mis- good offices in
the restoration of peace between Russia
and Japan. No engagement has been
made for Francotte to see the president.
The usual diplomatic proceedings
would require that the bearer of a
mission should call upon the secretary
of state first and make through him ar
rangement for an interview with the
president. 1t is. likely that course will
be followed in this instance.
New York, Aug. 31-Mr Francotte
was not aware that no appointment
had been made for him to call upon
the president and will leave this morn
ing with the understanding that sucn
arrangements had been made by cable.
He said:
'.King Leopold is of the opinion that
President Roosevelt is in a position to
accomplish more in behalf of peace be-
tween Russia and Japan than the ruler
of any other country. King Leopold is
deeply interested in the subject of uni
versal peace and the settlement of all
delicate questions between nations by
arbitration.
His majesty's interest has been ac-
centuated by Andrew CarneSies offer
to build a great peace temple. Even if
President Roosevelt does not think the
time oppOrtune for friendly interVen-
ton, he may have valuable suggestions
to make along the lines of international
harmony, such as peace congress or

The war between the state and gov
ernment livestock inspectors has
broken out anew. since the finding of
DR.. H. S. Hfckox, in the case of the
Reynolds herd of cattle at Condor.
DIR. f. n. Hutchinson, the well
known inspector. declined to pass the
cattle last August, because of the
symptoms of mango in the herd. and
the storm of indignation among cat
tlemen was so great that DIR. Hickox.
chief of the western division of the
bureau of animal industry. was called
to oregon to make a personal investi,
CATION. He sustained the decision of
DR.. Hutchinson. and refused to give
a certificate to the Reynolds herd.
Then Reynolds sent for DR.. William
Mclean. state veterinarian, in hopes
son and Hickox. with the result that
Mclean Pronounced the herd perfect
ly free from all signs of the mango.
In addition to his decision, contrary
to that of the government inspectors,
DIR. Mclean declares openly that the
decision against the Reynolds cattle
has damaged the cattle interests Of
the state beyond computation.
In an interview with the Oregon
Daily Journal of yesterday, ne says:
There was no mango in the herd"
said DR.. Mclean today. 81 am abso-
lutely positive that the cattle were
not afflicted with that disease. Mr..
Hutchinson conducted his examina
tion in August and I examined the
cattle thoroughly in October. II
mango had existed in August it GER
tainly would have existed in October,
unless something had been done in
the meantime to kill it. Nothing was
done for that purpose and there was
absolutely no evidence of the disease
in the herd.
81 did find. however, that the cattle
were full of fleas and lice. They were
run down physically. as is common
with cattle that have ranged as they
were. But as for finding a trace of
mango in the entire herd I can posi-
lively assert that nothing of the kind
existed.
''It is of course. impossible to esti-
mate the monetary loss to the cattle
men that resulted from such a report.
and it is equally impossible TO esti-
mate the loss that will follow such a
blow TO the reputation OF Oregon cat
tie"
