Swedish Press and Politicians Accused

Dangerous Prejudices - Sinister

Christiania, July Norwegian
animosity against Sweden and the
Swedes which was conspicuously alb
sent when the union was broken, is
now deep-seated and widespread.
Hatred has crept in where in the be-
ginning was only kindness and an
earnest desire for peace.
Even those who most ardently
wished for a peaceful outcome, admit
that the situation has been danger
ously aggravated as a result of the
Campaign of misrepresentation"
which 1t is alleged that the Swedes
have Systematically carried on. 1t is
declared that the most respectable
Swedish newspapers have not hestat-
ed to indulge in "detestahle lies" re-
gardinE Norwegian mobilization and
Norwegian plans for attacking Swe-
den, and have even gone so far as
to fabricatc Norwegian kilograms in
their own offices, day after day. Even
the Norwegian conservative party
hitherto the most pro-Swedish and
pro-union element in that nation, ad-
mits that Sweden has at last come
out in her true colors."
The immediate effect of all this will
be that Sweden's conditions win not

st. Petersburg. July 22.-Professor
Khodsky. the celebrated reformer,
said today;
"Witte's statement that he is only
following the cars instructions and
that Russia is prepared to fight in
definitely II the Japanese terms
should prove excessive, is intended as
an assurance against unpopularity as
wcll as to bring about his own return
to power. Witte is the real author
of the Manchurian adventure. He
created and protected the industries
on which the starving peasant paid
the tariff, although he could not buy
the manufactures.
"Witte sought for foreign markets
and turned the Trans-Siberian rail-
way through Manchuria instead of
directly to Vladivostok. Manchuria
swallowed up billions, and necessi-
tated the military occupation which
resulted in the present war. Witte's
fall alienated the powerful plutocracy

nished the money for the campaign

tv of carrying on foreign and civil

Witte is the man best fitted to do this
He can detach the plutocracy from
the opposition and probably can con-
cmdc peace with Japan, though ne
cannot guarantee peace at home.

WILL INVESTIGATE TITLE.
Hoped to Break Up Obstruction Tao
tics I'm klamath.

klamath Falls, Or, July 22.-It is
understood that as a result of the re-
cent visit of Oswald West, state land
agent, to this county, there will be a
searching investigation into the legal
ity Of the acquisition and present IT,
tie of some 5000 acres of swamp land
in the lower klamath lake area. The
tract is claimed by Kerns, of Chico
Cal
According to the provisions Of a
cession made by the last legislature
to the United States, upon a success
full contest of the title. this tract
would become government land, and
for this reason the general govern
ment is expected to take a hand in
the matter.
The Kerns tract is under the pro-
posed government reclamation pro-
ject, and will be very valuable when
reclaimed, although now practically
worthless. This tract and another
claimed by Mrs. Miller, of San Jose,
Cal, have not been subscribed to the
klamath Water Users association. and
thus are blocking reclamation of the
swamp land area, as the government
will not begin work of draining the
water covered area until all private
lands are signed over to it. Kerns
refuses TO sign or sell.

SHERIFF. RESIGNS.
Sheriff Havird at Boise, Decides Not
to Fight the Case and Resigns.

10 GlBlI TIC NdSt INtSlHnSs
Boise, Idaho, July 22.-After sew
eral days consideration of the
charges against him and after good
many consultations with his attorneys
Sheriff Havlrd yesterday decided to
yield to the demand of the county
commissioners for his resignation,
and 1t was submitted to the board at
its morning session.
There will be no prosecution Of the
retiring sheriff, according to the state
ment of a member Of the board Of
county commissioners.
Sheriff Havird had been charged
with a shortage in his accounts, and
also with having made improper
charges against the county. He will
himself make up the shortage, which
is only of few hundred dollars, and
the other charges will be dropped.
Demand for His Resignation.
The demand for the resignation Of
the sheriff was made by the county
commissioners several days ago. He
announced, however, that he would
not resign and County Attorney
Koelsch began the preparation of pa
pers to be filed in the district court
with the view of summarily removing
him from office. After further con-
sideratlon of the subject in all its
phases the sheriff yesterday decided
to resign.
Statement by Mr.. Havird.
Mr.. Havird made statement re-
specting his resignation in effect as
follows:
'I have done nothing since / have
been sheriff of Ada county that would
warrant any proceedings against me.
My own acts have been open and
above board and my conscience Is
clear. I had determined not to re-
sign. AS viewed 1t. to resign would
be the same as an admission of guilt.
The more / looked into the records
OF my office, however the more I be-
came convinced that the technical
showing was against me. There were
not enough irregularities. for which
I was not responsible excepting in the
sense of being the head of the office,
to have made 1t possible for the pre-
siding Judge to decide against me.
After thinking the matter over for
some time ! concluded to step down"

Portland, July 22.-The selection OF
jurors consumed the entire forenoon
at the opening of the second trial of
Congressman ]. n. Williamson. his
United tates Commissioner Marion r.
Biggs. in the federal court today. The
defendants accused of conspiring to
suborn perjury that they might secure
additional range for the williamson
Gesner bands of sheep, again ap-
peared in court. no further along to-
wards an end of the suspense which
has been theirs since two weeks ago
than when they first faced trial. Near
the defendants sat Sam Richardson,
a Salem attorney, apparently friend
of the accused. The trial will begin
at 10 O'Clock tomorrow morning.
The securing of a jury vas diff
cult matter, as hardly any person In
the state who reads the pSp4rs has
not been able to fom an opinion in
the case. The questions asked Of the
veniremen differed from those for
merly propounded in that the men
were asked If they had ever taken up
timber claims, and had any acquaint-
ance with the defendants or with
Binger Herman.
The last trial came to naught. it is
alleged. and the government failed OF
conviction because the two dissenting
jurors who caused the disagreement
had taken timber claims and were
friendly to entrymen on public lands.
They were also friends of Binger
Herman. woh is under indictment IN
