Witnesses to Be Heard Tuesday.

There will be no witness before the COM
mittee tomorrow afternoon, but Tuesday
morning the witnesses will be called and
from that time on the committee is likely
to sit with good deal of regularity during
the morning and afternoon. The committee
has not decided whether it will remain here
until its work has been completed or
whether it will adjourn to some locality
where it can enjoy sea breezes while it
hears witnesses, as has been done in a
number of instances by other congression-
al committees. 1t is not unlikely that as
the hot weather approaches the committee
will go TO Atlantic City.
Just how long the committee will be in
obtaining all the testimony 1t desires is
also unknown There is no doubt that a
good many members of the committee look
upon the task before them of hearing a
large number OF witnesses during the heated
period of the year with no satisfaction.
Throughput the country. however, there is
a sentiment in favor Of continuing the in
vestigatons and in favor of some sort of
legislation.
View of Conservatives.
On the part of good many conservative
men there is a fear that unless the legisla-
ton affecting the railroad interests is OBJ
tanned in a very careful way there is dan
ger that serious i jury may be done to
these vast interests that are said to in
volVe Il capital in various forms of about
Sl2Oco.COO.00O. Railroad securities are
selling at high levels, if not rather
higher than they have ever sold in the his
tory Of the roads as whole. They have
been bought freely by the most conserva-
tive investors, and have gone in the hands
to a considerable extent of trust COMMA
MES. life insurance companies adminstra-
tors of estates and as safe investment Sc
curitieS by many people. Conservative men
are anxious that nothing shall be done by
congress that may tend to create panicky
feeling on the part OF the holders or may
cause them to fear that any feeling of hos
tility exists in Congress toward such in
tereSjS,
The committee is fully aware of this
sentiment among the conservative element
the country. and is anxious that nothing
- does shall be of Il nature to unsettle any
business interests. But before Congress re-
assemblies 1t hopes to secure a mass of
testimony and expert opinion that will en-
able 10 Congress to act much more wisely
than would have been possible in the last
session.

To Look After French Interests.

Admiral Furnier, who was president of the
North sea commission, and Gen. Voyeron,
who commanded the French forces which
operated against the Boxers expect to ac-
company Colonial Minister Clementel on
voyage of naval and military inspection to
French Indo-China. This results from the
apprehensions growing out of the Russo
japanese war over the insecurity of the
French defenses in the far east. The trip
is expected to result in a general plan for
the construction of strong defenses at Sal
gon and other points in Indo-China.
The French railroads are taking great in

The French third-class cruiser Chasseloup-
Laubat sails for Newfoundland May 1 to re-

sending the cruiser to Newfoundland waters.

OREGON LAND FRAUDS
DEMURRERS FILED IN CoNNEC-

PORTLAND, Ore, April 15.-In the

in connection with the two indictments re-
turned against him. while his partner, DIR.
Van Gessner, and former United States
Commissioner Marion r. Biggs entered
issue will come up for a hearing on
April II.
One indictment against Mr.. Williamson
was returned February ID last and accuses
him, in conjunction with United States Sem
ator Mitchell, Representative Binger Her
mann and others, of having conspired to
defraud the government out of a portion
of its public lands in connection with an
alleged attempt to secure the establishment
of the Blue Mountain forest reserve In
eastern Oregon
Grounds for Demurrers.
Williamson demurs on the ground that
the character of the alleged fraud is not
specifically stated and that the indictments
failed to describe the land on which the
fraud is alleged to have been perpertrated.
The same form of demurrer is employed
by Mr.. Williamson in his reply to the in
dictment returned on February IL, accus-
ing him of subornation of perjury
Gessner and Biggs. in their plea in abate-
ment, attack the qualification of the jury
which indicted them.
Williamson together with his partner, DR.
Gessner. and Marion D. Biggs. were In
dicted February IL for subornation Of per-
jury, 1t being charged that they induced
number of persons to locate government
lands In behalf of Williamson and Gessner
who own a large sheep range in eastern
Oregon. Biggs took the affidavits of the
alleged fraudulent entryman.

probable constitutionality of many of the
propositions that have been placed before

their attorneys He has found that to
large extent lawyers whose opinions are
rated high on all legal questions bearing
transportation are, in one way or an
other. in the employ of the railroads in
their legal departments. Still he has al
ready formed quite an extensive list of
lawyers not connected with the railroad
interests whose judgment will command at
tention and Will be received by the country
at large as disinterested.
The views of these attorneys on various

UNCLE SANS ATTITUDE
PARIS NEWSPAPERS COMMEND
COURSE AS TO GERMANY.
In Preparations Relative to Morocco
Interest In Observation-Disclosures
to French Indo-China.

PARIS. April 15.-Information reaching
high quarters here is quite definite that all
the capitals except Vienna took substan-
TALLY the same grounds as did Washington
in assuming neutral, or negative, atti-
tude toward Germany's preparations rela-
tive to Morocco. Concerning Vienna the
Information Is less exact, but 1t Is believed
to be In accordance with the action OF the
other capitals.
Acting Secretary of State Taft's course in
avoiding giving American support of Ger
many's position evokes the warmest tributes
from the French press. The Matin prints
large portrait of Secretary Taft with a
leading article setting forth the present
strong bonds uniting France and the United
States, and quotes a friend of Secretary
Taft as saying: american interests in Mo-
rocco do not warrant our mixing In this
political controversy. Emperor William
should have known this, for while our at
lection for him and Germany Is most sin
cere. it does not warrant our forgetting the
consideration we owe to France and Eng
land"
The Matin said the community of ideas
between the United States and France Is
most complete, and the paper congratulates
the government upon the cordiality existing
In London and the strong support given
there to the French position This leads
diplomats to say that Great Britain owes
France much more than moral support in
Morocco The Anglo-French understanding
resulted in France relinauishing to Great
Britain the French shore of Newfoundland
and important French rights in Egypt, and
Great Britain's consideration for this was
the recognition of Frances paramount in
huence in Morocco.
Therefore 1t is held that since Great Brit
ain has held possession of the Newfound-
land shore and of the French rights in
Egypt there is a definite obligation on the
part of Great Britain to deliver her part Of
the contract, namely. French predominance
in Morocco.

Rojestvensky's Purpose.

Interest in Admiral Rojestvensky's auda-
cious move occupies equal attention with
Morocco. The French naval critics praise
the Russian admiral showing the first
evidence of bold initiative Russia has thus
far given. 1t is the general view that Ro-
jestvensky is likely to fight losing battle
in carrying out his design to sacrifice his
own ships in order to cripple the naval
strength of Japan.
The fact that Capt. Clado. who was Ad-
miral Rojestvensky chief tactician until
the North sea incident. has been practically
exiled by his appointment to command the
fleet of gunboats on the Amur river recalls
his numerous naval controversies While at
tending the sessions here of the interna tional
commission of inquiry into the North sea in
cident Capt. Clado wrote a book pointing
out that gunboats were one of Russias
greatest needs. This gives irony to his COM
mand of a feet of such boats in the heart
of Siberia.

it she won't do it. You know there has

but that's all. She believes in numbers
and as she likes no one very we'll she
likes almost every one well enough,

because their devotion flatters and

persistent adorer who bores her. She
usually has one or two but she cares
only for attractive men, the selfish and
Indifferent type and honest, faithful de-

she to them, but it doesn't last long,
because both are self-centered both de-

now and then such man and such a
girl are engaged but the engagement is
usually broken. The marriage, if one
results, is never happy and commonly
ends in the divorce court.
This sort of girls suitors are, there
