Roosevelt Angry.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. o.
President Roosevelt is angry because
it became known that he ordered a
warship to Nicaragua for the purpose
of protecting the rights Of William C..
Albers, an American citizen in Jail
there, for alleged resistance to the
payment Of the tobacco tax. Mr..
Roosevelt himself ordered that the
ship be sent, and he also gave instruc-
lions to the officials of the departments
Of state and navy to keep the mat
-er quiet. Shortly after these instruc-
tons were received her the newspa-
per representatives made the fact pub
lic
Although Albers has been in prison for
month and the property in his keep
ing has been in jeopardy all the time.
the department of state has been un-
able to obtain any authentic in
formation regarding his treatment. He
has been carried 20 miles inland and
it is almost impossible to communicate
with him, owing to the extreme danger
in reaching the place of his conf1ne-
ment.

Carrying the first shipment Of wheat.
consisting of 1000 sacks, ever taken
over the portage road at Cello. the
steamer Dalles City reached Port
land yesterday From now on snip
ments from Cello will be made reg
ularly to Portland. Among the craft
that has been engaged to ply On the
Columbia below the portage road will
be the Dalles City and Regulator Line
and the Undine, operated by the Kamm
interests.
The steamer Columbia at present
will handle the traffic above the port
age, but as soon as the water in the
Snake rises sufficiently the Mountain
Gem will enter the service on the up
per river. She is now tied up at
Riparia, but it is expected that as
soon as the fall rains set in she will
be able to go down the Snake. 1t will
probably be two weeks before the
Undine will be placed in commission,
but when it is it will be operated as
an independent boat. She will stop at
The Dalles and other way ports and
in this manner will come in direct
competition to the Regulator Line.
A portion of the grain will be shipped
over the railroad; so the transporta-
ton facilities from the portage road
to Portland will be adequate to take
care of the business in good shape.
With three concerns-the Northern
Pacific, Hartman and Kamm interests
engaged in the traffic, it is believed
that the competition will be so keeen
as to keep the rates down to a low
figure.

JESSE F. MURPHY CONTESTS HIS
DlSeARMENT FROM LAND OF.
FlcE PRACTICE.
He Declares Receiver Has Shown
Partially in Land Litigation
and Favored Railroads.

Jesse F. Murphy has filed his appeal
with the United States land office at
Olympia for transmission to the COM
missioner of the general land office
from the decision of Receiver J. OBJ.
Scobey, disbarring Murphy from prac-
ticing as attorney before the Olympia
land office. The document fairly
bristles with accusations and charges.
The appeal first contests the right of
the receiver to make a disbarment
order in which the register did not
also take part and also for making
the order without notice to Murphy
and an opportunity for hearing.
The document exonerates Register
Fred w. Stocking, Mr.. Murphy STAT
ing that there is no question but that
Mr.. Stocking is officially honest and
upright, although he charges he has
left the management of the office too
much in the hands Of the receiver.
Murphy reiterates his statement
that Scobey has shown partiality in
land litigation to well-known attor-
ney.
He also charges favoritism toward
the railroads in land cases where rail-
way companies nave been interested.
The document with the exhibits
covers eighteen typewriter pages and
is sworn to before an Olympia notary.

Your honorab BILE board is respectfully advised

FUND CASE

LOS ANGELES, April 26.-At the
request of the attorneys representing
Mrs. Robert P. Troy of San Francisco,
widow of the late United States Sena-
tor Stephen M White, the deposition
of Superior Judge Charles Monroe,
former. law partner of Senator White.
was taken to-day for use in suit
which will be tried at Redwood City
May 2, in which all the particulars
of the famous Pious fund case will be
brought out. In the suit Mrs. Troy
seeks to recover from John T. Doyle
of Menlo Park $4,000 alleged to be
due as fee earned by the late Sen
ator in bringing to a successful con-
clusion the controversy waged for
many years between the Roman Cath
olic church of California and the re-
public of Mexico, which was finally
decided in favor of the church by The
Hague international tribunal.
Judge Monroe was able to add but
little direct evidence which will be of
use, but he turned over to Mrs. Troy's
representatives copies of the volumin-
Gus correspondence which passed be-
tween White and Doyle, in which the
Senator's claim is said to have been
acknowledged. Associated with Doyle

was former Senator William Stewart
of Nevada, and by the terms of con-
tract between them and the prelates
of the church they were to receive
one-fourth of such amounts as might
be paid in full settlement of the claim.
1t was necessary that the United
States Government make a formal de-
mand upon Mexico for the money and
after years of labor Doyle and Stew
art were unable to interest the United
States Government. White was en-
ployed to bring this about and for
five years he worked on it and finally
during the Mckinley administration
he induced the State Department to
make the demand, thus giving to the
case an international status and MAX
ing it subject to reference to The
Hague tribunal. Doyle and Stewart
each. received s62,500 cash when the
claim was paid, but Doyle, whom
White represented personally, failed,
1T is alleged, to pay Whites claim de-
spite contract that White was to re-
ceive one-third of the one-fourth
which the others received. The cor
respondence, it Is said, shows that
Doyle once offered Senator Whites
widow $3.50, thus acknowledging that
some just claim existed against him.
The former Mrs. White sues for $780,
600, which is about one-third of the
amount Doyle received.

E. Black Ryan produced check pc
fore the Grand Jury for Sl4, l35 oS
which was indorsed by Smith and City
Treasurer John E. McDougald. Ryan
said that the check represented his
second payment for taxes OF the
Southern Pacific Company. Ryan said
he had the receipted tax bills for the
first check he had turned over to
Smith for $24, ,37S 80, but he has not
yet received the bills for the second
amount. He considered, however, that
the check indorsed by Treasurer Nc
Dougald was documentary evidence
that the Southern Pacific Company
had settled its obligations with the
city. 1t is a fact, however. that there
is no record on the Tax Collectors s
books that the second installment of
the taxes has been paid. So far as the
records stand the Southern Pacific
Company is delinquent in the pay
ment of it's taxes.

tary of the Chamber of Commerce,

charge Of embezziing 1901 belonging to

sworn to by Joseph H. Rucker. mem.
Der of the board of control of the
chamber. Bail was fixed at $4,000
and up to a late hour, tonight. Nc
Mahill had been unable to obtain
bondsmen.
William H. Stacy, an expert. was put
to work on Secretary McMahills books
yesterday and to-day he reported that
he had found a shortage of $500. He
has not had time to completeshis work,
but 1t is known that the shortage will
exceed that amount. Rumors have it
that there Is a shortage of $4,000.
The 1901 which McMahill is accused
of embezzling was part of the exposi-
ton fund raised by taxation and turn
ed over to the Chamber of Commerce
to make a display of the Santa Clara
County resources at the St. Louis
Worlds Fair. The fund amounted to
about $4,000 When the committee
had finished its work it had a. balance
of 1901 left. The Chamber of Com
merce was about to turn this over to
the supervisors d1lQ ask tnaI II De eX-
pended at the Lewis and Clark Ex-
position, when it was found that Nc
Mahill had taken the money. For
some weeks there has been a suspicion
that there was shortage in the Cham
Der of Commerce and President Schel-
Ter appointed committee of investi-
cation, which ended in to-day's arrest.
Besides taking the $901 McMahill, the
members of the chamber charge, col
lected the rent for the leased space in
the Santa Clara County headquarters
in San Francisco and pocketed it.
A stormy session was held in the
Chamber of Commerce to-day between
President Scheller and the board of

secretary was accused of being a de-
faulter. He admitted taking the
money, but claimed the Chamber of
Commerce was Indebted to him several
thousand dollars, declaring that he was
to have had commission on the col
lections. President Scheller denies
that McMahill had any agreement by
which he was to secure a commission.
The arrest of McMahill created a
sensation. as he is one of the best
known young men in the city. He
came here about five years ago from
Los Angeles, where he had been en-
ployed as a newspaper reporter.
