NEW TRUE BILLS FOUND
ANOTHER ACCUSATION AGAINST
 SENATOR MITCHELL.
George c. BFownell, One of Oregen's Leading Republicans, Also is Ae-
 cuaed by Grand Jury Indictment.

Portland, Ore, Feb. 1.-The United States grand jury today indicted United States Senator John H. Mitchell on another charge of bribery and also in- dicted State Senator George c. Brow nell. one of the foremost Republican politicians and lawyers in this State, on charges of subornation of perjury. The indictment against Mir. Mitchell alleges that while a Senator from this State to the federal Congress he ac- cepted on seven different occasions sums of money aggregating s4,20U from a. timber land dealer named Frederick R. Kribs, for services rendered, in it Is alleged, inducing Congressman Binger Hermann. then commissioner of the general land office at Washington to expedite and approve certain applica- tions for public lands and recommend the issuing of patents to the lands.
 The indictment against Senator Brownell charges that Mir. Brownell caused Fred sievers and John Rowland to swear falsely that certain field notes in connection with the survey of public lands in eastern Oregon were true.
 The indictment says that Frederick R. Kribs contracted for the services of John H. Mitchell and R. H. Tanner law partners, and agreed to pay them for services rendered in part by MT. Mitchell, appearing before and persuad- Ing Binger Hermann, Commissioner of the General Land office to make special expedite and approve the applications and claims and recommend the Issuance of patents on them as though they were lawful and bona nde applications and claims.
 The indictment states that the United States Government directly interested in these lands, and that the services were to be performed by MT. Mitchell while Senator of this State. The in- dictment then makes the charge that in consideration of these services Kribs gave Mitchell two checks for $500 each on Roseburg, Ore. bank on February 13s 1909; two checks on the same baglk on June l4. 1902, for s1.O00 each; one check on September 20. 1909. for $500; one check on January 1, 1904, for $500, and one check on October 8, 1904, for S2O0

HI Health Assigned as Reason for Hi
 Refinement.

Retirement.
 St. Petersburg, Feb. 1.-The retire. ment of Interior Minister Sviatopolk- Mirsky was officially announced today i'll health being assigned as the reason. M. Durnovo, former Minister of Posts and Te1egraphs, becomes acting Min ister of the Interior. M. Bouligan, for mer Governor General of Moscow, seems likely to be Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky's g successor, but no decision has yet been reached. The gossips are saying that Emperor Nicholas has offered the port folio to M. witte, President of the Com mittee of Ministers.
 Prince Sviatopolk- -Mirsky's decision to retire had been known for weeks, but the manner in which 1t was an- nounced was unusual, the retirement of a Minister being generally accompanied by an imperial rescript For this req son the form of announcement is popu- iarly accepted as a reprimand Among the extreme reactionaries and even among some of the more moderate cons servatives, Prince Sviatopolk- -MirslSy has been blamed for having from the very outset of his career encouraged all sorts of Liberal aspirations, which being impossible of immediate realiza- tion brought the present storm about the head of the Government.

Rock Island President Dlscussea PrO-
 posed Rate LegfsIntIOn.


 Chicago Feb. 1.-B. l.. Winchell,
 President of the Chicago. Rock Island
 and Pacific Railroad, gave out the fol- I lowing statement tonight in regard to
 the proposed regulations of freight
 rates:
 The statement issued last night by Samuel Spencer. President of the | Southern. Railway, in regard to the supervision of freight rates by the Gov | ernment seems to me to be a sane and I truthful expression of the situation as l it appears to the railroad men of the United States I heartily agree with
 Mir. Spencer in all that he says. As the subject has been raised there are a few points, however, which should like to make in addition.
 The first that Is aside from public
 utterances of various commercial or- 1 ganizations have not found that there is any deep-seated desire (of business
 men in general for the establishment Of
 a rate-malxing power over the rail-
 roads.
 | 'aThe second is that in discussing the | question of rate supervision with many 1 interested persons, I have not found | one who did not admit, when pressed. l that his real objection was to secret
 rebates. As Mir. Spencer, in his state ment explained, there is no relation be- tween the two. but really every one confuses them and bases his demands 1 for rate supervision on his objection
 to secret rebates which none of the pro- posed legislation can touch.
 The most important point of all is that those who have any real desire for a rate-making power at Washington are actuated by a desire for the com | merciaI betterment of one town as against that of another, and that de- sire can never be satisfied. Geogra- phy can't be made over, and no legls- lative power in Washington can ever
 have any authority that will enable us ] to change the map"
