DENY CHARGES
Senator McCumber Files Protest
~ but Iaintains Statement
Nelson to Reply. !,
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington
Washington, April 9.-Senator Mc-
Cumber has presented in the senate,
and there appears in the Congression-
al Record to-day, a statement from
the leading elevator men Of Minneap-
Oils, denying the statements contained
in his recent speech advocating ma
tional inspection of grain.
The statement of the elevator men
was based on the telegraphic synop-
sis in TIL Journal Of Mr.. Nc
Cumber's speech, in which he charged
that farmers were being robbed by
short weights and dishonest grades at
terminal elevators.
Mr.. McCumber says he is not con-
WINGED by the elevator mems state
ment, altho he gave it publicity in
the record. He says his speech was
based in part on an investigation
made by the Minnesota legislature
in 1899, and on official figures secured
from other sources. He understands
that Senator Nelson is to make a
speech replying to his charges.
Mr.. Nelson is understood Ito be
seeking evidence from the Minneap-
oils elevator companies on which to
base his reply. Mr.. McCumber says
that If Mr.. Nelson undertakes to reply
he will rejoin with second speech,
presenting much evidence that has
reached him since his first speech.

Yesterday and the pent-up waters
moved down on the city at $50 last
night.
The railway and main wagon
bridges escaped without damage, but
the Tenth street bridge was damaged.
The city engineer says one of the

other officials who can see no change
in the position of the pier. The ice

The water backed UP into the cleo

and wheel pit and making it necessary
to shut down the plant and cut off all
electric lights in the city. The flood
came within two inches of the fires in
the waterworks station.
Six families residing below the dam
were driven out by the flood and Mrs.

PLANS TO DEPORT
DEPENDENT ALIENS
Commissioner Finds Thousands in
Public Asylums Whom Law
May Reach.

Washington, April 9.-Wholesale
deportations of aliens during the COM
ing year are planned.
Any alien can be deported who be-
comes public charge within two
years after landing In this country.
Thousands Of this class are supported
and maintained ina S1unsa other
charitable institutions in this country.
An inquiry was undertaken in ac-
cordance with an act of congress-, and
the results will be used as a basis in
drafting laws to prevent the landing
of insane and diseased immigrants.
1.-The report will show" said Com
missioner General Sergeant, that the
conditions which brought about this
investigation are quite general turnout
the United States. OF course the
evil is more pronounced in the east,
but it exists to a greater or less extent
in the middle and northwestern
states.
1.-THE results will surprise most
people, and will bring sharply to the
attention of the lawmakers the neces-
sity for more rigid statutes. 1t also
enables us to locate thousands OF
deportable immigrants whom we
could not have reached in any other
way"

SUIT WONT FIX
CONTROL OF N. P.
So Says j. j. Hill, Who Comes to
Hear Harriman's Motion
Argued.

Forces are gathering for the first
battle over the Northern Securities
distribution. The first clash will come
next Tuesday in the federal court at
ST. Paul, when E. H. Harriman's mo-
ton will be argued for the introduce
ton Of his petition on which control
of the Northern Pacific seems to
hinge.
James J. Hill reached ST. Paul this
morning. Elihu Root, who has been
retained as counsel for the Northern
Securities interests, will arrive on
Monday.
Mr. Hill talks emphatically regard
ing the situation. At Chicago yester-
day, and in st. Paul to-day his utter
ances were such as to indicate that he
views Harriman's motives with grave
concern, whatever view he takes of
the Union Pacific magnate's chances
of success.
"Mr. Hartman undoubtedly is try
ing to secure control of the Northern
Pacific. That is easy enough for any
one to see," said Mr.. Hill.
Suit Not Decisive for N. p.
Z However, the laws of several of
the states thru which the Oregon
Short Line and the Northern Pacific
run, are utterly opposed to such own
ership or control, and I presume he
would be prevented from accomplish
ing his purpose by those laws. Even
if the courts sustain his contention
regarding the redistribution, this
would not, In my opinion, give him
control of the Northern Pacific.

HILL As FALSE
RIVER PROPHET
Magnate' s Prediction Of Declining
Traffic Conflicts With Trend

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,

From The Journal Bureau. Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, April 9.-The attention
of the Minnesota delegation in con-
gress has been called to the state
ment made recently by James J. Hill
before the house rivers and harbors
committee, that the clock has struck
twelve on river improvements. He
declared it would not be possible for
the rivers ever to have again any i'm
portant part Of the traffic which they
lost years ago, when the railroads
were built. General opinion in the
delegation Is summed up in the fol-
lowing, from one Of the members OF
the house:
way for twenty years. He said moth
ing before the committee that he
hasn't said repeatedly in the north
west. and wherever in the country he
has had occasion to speak of river
traffic. With Mr.. Hill the wish is
father to the thought. If he can help
it, Of course, the rivers will not again
carrying trade of the country. I don't
think that the Hill testimony had any
effect on the committee. Congress
will go on as before improving the
waterways, and especially the Missis-
sippi."

It would make shippers in a measure

BUCHANAN DENIES
COERCING ANYONE
Supports Dunn and Seeks Re.
election-Says He Is Keep
ing Quiet.


From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, April 9.-Representa-
tive Buchanan has returned from a
ten-day trip to his home and has made
several announcements with reference
to the gubernatorial and congressional
situation. AS to the former he says he
is not trying to coerce anybody in his
district to get into the Dunn band
wagon. AS to the latter, he says he
is not borrowing trouble, but will take
up a fight for denomination when he
sees that one is on.
"StOries that I have been trying to
force the postmasters and other fed
eral employees whom I have nomi-
mated to work for Dunn for governor
are not true" said Buchanan to-day.
Personally 1 favor Dunn and have
told every one who has asked me
about my preferences that do. But
that I take unto myself-that of
choosing his own man for governor, or
for any other state office. I have not
and will not attempt to influence any
federal employee to follow my lead
in this matter
Discussing the congressional situa-
ton in the sixth district, Mr.. Buchanan
said:
''The primaries are a long way off,
| and I am letting the present take care
| of itself. I am a candidate for re-
| election and will so announce myself
at the proper time. The people of the
| district are thinking and talking more
about the governorship now than
| anything else, and will take UP the ma
! tional offices after the state eonven-
ton, in July. believe that the differ
ef1ces which may be efeateH over the
governorship, if there should be. any
will have been smoothed over by
September, and If there Is contest
for the congressional nomination, II
will be one on the merits Of the can
didates. am not worrying over that
now, as said before, but am attend
ing strictly to the business in hand
serving my constituents as the repre-
sentative Of the sixth district"
