RESIST MINNEsoTA's TAX.
Railroads Refuse to Pay It on Same
Business in Two States.

st. Paul, Minn July THE Minne-
sofa courts will be asked to settle the
question whether the state may law
fully tax the gross earnings of the
railroad and express line traffic be-
tween the twin cities and Duluth
passing through Wisconsin.
Attorney General II. Il. Young, who
a few days ago gave an opinion that
Minnesota has this right, by decision
Of the United States supreme court,
today had an extended conference with
officials of the Chicago, st. Paul, Min
neapolis & Omaha raiload and of the
express companies affected. The con-
ference adjourned without arriving at
an agreement and the attorney general
has decided to sue the several compan-
les for the taxes which he maintains
are due the state.
The companies say that they pay
taxes on the business in question in
the state of Wisconsin and that they
are therefore exempt from the Minne-
sofa law.

PANAMA TO BE MORE INVITING.
Commission Announces Policy For Inn
proved Conditions For Workers.


Washington, July Life on the
Isthmus of Panama is to be made
healthful, comfortable and enjoyable
before the real work of digging the
canal is begun, according to an am
nouncement of policy made today by
Chairman Shonts of the commission.
MIR. Shonts said:
Our first duties is to create sound
underlying conditions. This is now
vastly more important than the NOV
ing of dirt. The men must have suitable
houses in healthy surroundings; they
must have wholesome and nourlsh
ing food at reasonable cost; they must
have suitable transportation facilities
to get to and from their work, and they
must have opportunity for recreation.
1t will be the policy of the commission
to provide these essentials as quickly
as possible.

Grand Dukes Admit Inability to
Cope with Japan.
TOO MUCH TROUBLE AT HOME
With Nation in Rebellion Reserves
Cannot Be Sent to Cope with
Those Sent by Japan.

London, Feb. T. The highest au-
thority is claimed by the St. Petersburg
correspondent of the London Daily
Chronicle for the statement that the
grand ducal party has suddenly decided
that Russia must sue for peace.
The correspondent states that the
grand dukes and their supporters have
held frequent conferences of late at
which they discussed the Far Eastern
war and came to the conclusion that
the country could not afford to con-
tinue the war under the present condi-
tions. The Immediate cause for this
change of mind on the part of the very
men who have right along stood in the
way of peace is said to have been the
recent disaster to the Russian arms on
the Hun river.
Coupled with the news of this defeat
has come to the grand dukes the reali-
zation that they cannot compete with
Japan's ability to throw army after
army into Manchuria, especially in
view of the internal situation, which
may render further mobilization Of
reservist troops almost impossible.
The correspondent states that, ac
cordingly, the Russian embassy Al
Paris has been asked to gain the goot
will of Great Britain with a view tt
mitigating the terms which Japan il
likely to impose.

STREET CAR OvERTURNS.
Portland Wreck Causes One Death
and Thirty-one Injuries.

Portland, Feb. 7. One man was
killed and 81 persons injured, some of
them fatally, by the wrecking of a car
of the Portland Consolidated railway
company on the M ,ntavilla line, at
the corner of East Twentv-eighth and
East Glisan streets, at 20 o'clock yes
terday morning. The accident oc-
CURED on sharp curve at the base of
steep incline. The cars momentum
was so great that it was unable to make
the turn and was overturned. There
were 66 passengers on the car at the
time of the accident, the majority be-
ing business men and employees on their
way to work in the heart of the city.
1t is question whether the motor
man lost control of the car or whether
he did not use the usual precautions
until it was too late. Five blocks from
the scene of the accident the car was
running at speed greatly in excess OF
the rate specified in the city ordinances
governing street car traffic. One pas
senger, who stood on the front platform
of the car beside the motorman, de-
clares that no effort was made to gov
ern the speed of the car until it was
almost rounding the curve. The street
car company says the brakes had been
set as shown by the fact that the wheels
were worn smooth by sliding.

JURY DRAWS NET.
Two Indictments Said To Be in Order
for j. NJ. Williamson.


Portland, Feb. THE last week of
the present Federal grand jury is at
hand. The long series of investiga-
tions which have been taking the time
of the jury for the past two months is
drawing to a close and will end on Sat-
urday, if the plans of the government
attorneys carry.
The present week will be busy one,
for it will bring to light some of the
entanglements of those high in the
confidence of the state and the nation
and will show still further the extent
and scope of the land frauds which
have been carried on in many cases to
completion and in others practically to
that stage during the past few years.
During the week it was rumored that
Representative j. N. Williamson will
come under the notice of the Federal
grand jury, not once, but twice. 1t is
said that the next few days will see the
junior representative of the state in
dicted for his alleged connection with
various land deals in the vicinity Of
his home at Prineville and also for
| fraudulent transactions in the Blue
Mountain reserve.
Just what the complaints are is a
mystery which the government officials
alone would be able, at this time, to
tell. They have nothing to say. But
in spite of this reticence, it is made
known from various sources that the
end of the week will see more persons
implicated in the land frauds than have
as yet hinted at or thought of.
In addition to the names of Mr.
Williamson are mentioned those oi
various of the former special agents ot
the government, and several of the ex.
special agents who have been sent to
this territory to look into the ALLEGED
irregularities of the land department
Beyond a rumor that several. of the
special agents are under the eye of the
grand jury, nothing definite can b.
learned. However, it can be stated
with a reasonable degree of certaint,
that former employees of the Interior de
partment in Oregon will be brouht t.
book for irregular work done by then
J during their terms of Office. 1t i
further safe to predict that Saturda.
: will see the adjournment of the Jur,
, until the March term calls the mel
once more to the task of probing int
the irregularities of the land transac
tions of Oregon.

IMPROVE VANCOUVER BARRACKS
Large Allotment from Army Post Fund
Likely To Be Secured.

Washington, Feb. THE army ap-
preparation bill, recently passed by con-
gress, carries large appropriation for
the improvement OF army posts. This
money is distributed by the secretary
of war, he approving allotments which
are made up by the quartermaster gen.
eral. Senator Ankeny and Representa-
tive Jones have arranged to call upon
the secretary of war and ask for lib
eral slice of that lump sum for making
much-needed improvements at Vancou-
yer barracks.
Reports which have been submitted by
the officers at Vancouver show the urg-
ent necessity for many new buildings
to replace the antiquated and dilapi-
dated structures now standing. OF
course they ask for more money than
can be had, something over 100000
in all. Nevertheless, an attempt will
be made to get liberal portion of this
fund.
The largest item recommended is
$3.50, 900 for erecting new building
for headquarters offices, a building oi
brick, with stone trimmings, large
enough to accomodate all the officers
assigned to headquarters, together with
the clerical force of the post. 1t is also
