commerce, branch of the university.
that the boycott on American goods
in China is menace to American in
terests In the orient, which creates a
situation so serious that the Chinese
government finds itself powerless to
control It. This untoward condition
he attributed to the harsh administra-
ton of the American exclusion law.
Speaking of the possibilities Of the
trade with China alone, he said:
THE Chinese now have a foreign
commerce amounting to about $1.25 a
head each year. Japan has In 40
years developed a commerce running
up from nothing to about $3.50 for
each person a year, or about $780,
900, 900 per year altogether. II China
can be made to develop such a trade
as this, In the same time, 1t would
amount to about $2,5O0, 900, 900. Now
Chinas foreign commerce is $685.
600, 900.
what this great growth would
mean to all the countries taking part
in supplying China's needs can easily
be understood. II China could ever
be made to develop a foreign COM
merce equalling per capita the COM
merce of this country, It would
amount to the stupendous total Of
$13, 900, 900, 900 a year. an amount al
most inconceivable."

FAILS TO REVEAL ANY MURDER

around the pier has failed to reveal
any body. though the searchers were
rewarded by the finding of an Indian
blanket. Yesterday dynamite was ex-
ploded along the river in the hopes
of raising the body. but without avail.
In Sheriff Taylor's view, the victim
in the case. If there was really muir
der committed, was more likely Il
white man than an Indian. 1t is pos
siblc that he may have been some
traveller going through, either tramp
ing or otherwise, and have been killed
by tramps. That any white man liv-
ing in that vicinity could have been
slain and thrown in the river is un-
likely, as no one is reported missing.
should the murder theory prove to
be correct, It is believed that the body
will doubtless come to the surface OF
the river and be picked up at some
point below Umatilla.

Sheriff T. ID. Taylor has returned
from Umatilla, where he served some
papers yesterday and also participated
in the search for the supposed dead
man in the river at that point. How
ever no trace of any body has yet been
found, and the mystery still remains
as deep as ever.
The place where the body or what
ever it may have been, was thrown
into the river, is at the end of the rock
pier which extends into the Columbia
at Umatilla AT the shore end of the
pier pool of blood was found and
the ground indicated that some object

Annapolis, Nov. 22.-Upon charges
of manslaughter and conduct preju-
dicial to good order and discipline,
and violation of naval regulations by
engaging in n fight with Midship-
man James r. Branch, jr., Midship-
man Minor Merriwether Lafayette
will be placed on trial this morning
at the naval academy before a gen.
eral court-martial.
Branch's death two days after a
fight on November 5, is the basis for
manslaughter charges. The other
charges are incidental to this
Judge Advocate Captain Adolph
Marx, in the same capacity in the
Maine inquiry. Members, Rear Ad-
mirals Ramsay, Mccormick and Par
ker, retired; Captains Wainwright
aud Cody; Commanders Stamoa,
Fiske and Barry; Lieutenant Com
manders Clark and Craven; Lieuten-
ants Jackson, Mclean and Constiens.
These comprise the court-martial.
The charges and specifications were
read to Merriwether. He pleaded not
guilty.
James c. Vandercarr, of the second
class, testified he was one of Branch's
best friends, and said: "I sat next to
Merriwether at mess upon the arriv-
al of the British fleet. Merrlwether
declared he was laying for a chance
to soak Branch. A day later 1t was
announced he had received a chal-
lenge. Branch had admitted nag
ging."
Midshipman Ralph j. Yeager testi-
fled he accompanied Merriwether to
Branch's room. He related heated
conversation between the two.
The academy physician gave the
medical records of the two men,
showing that Merriwether weighed
15 pounds more than Branch and was
four inches taller. Neither was sick
prior to the fight.
Captain Colvoccress, commandant
Of the cadets, said he disapproved
fighting, but declared the naval regu-
latlons don't prohibit It.
Midshipman McKittlick described
the fight and said; "It was fight to
a finish, according TO custom, and
Queensbury rules. The first Is
rounds were very even, when Branch
began pressing things. The next few
rounds Branch had the meter of It.
About the goth round Merriwether,
without hitting in a clinch, admitted
n foul and offered to forfeit the fight.
Branch said he colud not take the
fight that way. 1t was decided to so
five more rounds and call II draw IL
both were standing.
''In the 24th round 1t was reported
to the officer on the deck of the
Bancroft hall. We then put out the
lights and called 1t draw. I helped
Branch to his room, although he
could walk, and left him with room
mate who prepared a hot bath"

Also, the family will be there more
or less during the next year year,
though they will still retain their
home here.
The term for which Mr. HALEY has
been appointed will expire on July l.
1906, consequently he has over seven
months to serve. He will be the only
democratic member of the supreme
court, and it is the belief of many of
his friends that he will be able to sue
coed himself, though it would be an
unusual honor for a democrat to be
elected to such a position in this state
With the resignation of Judge VOL
verton, the mantle of chief justice will
fall to Supreme Judge Charles S
Moore, who is the senior member of
the court after Wolverton's with
drawal.

The first tremor of the HYDE Ben
son land frauds in Oregon has reach
ed Umatilla county.
Today +. A. Clark, deputy United
States marshal for Oregon, served a
complaint issued by Attorney General
Moody direct from Washington, ID. c.,
upon Il. A. Rugg. X. G. Warner, the
First National Bank, T. C. Taylor as
trustees for c. b. Wade, and the ].
q. Smith Livestock company, In an
action to annul title to land secured
by these parties through purchase
from the Benson-Hyde agents, who in
the first place located the land in
question through tips secured by
land office clerks in Washington, ID.
c.. who have confessed to the gov
ernment.
The complaint names the following
persons as participants all of whom
excepting Hyde. Benson and Clark
are innocent purchasers and who are
served simply to establish the chain
of title to the land:
Frederick A. Hyde, John A. Ben
son. w. A. Clark, c. b. Wade, L. A.
Rugg. First National Bank of Pendle-
ton. X G.. Warner, T. C. Taylor. trus-
tee for Wade, and the ]. Z. Smith
Livestock company.
The story of the transaction is this:
Hyde and Benson secured the lieu
land scrip through fraudulent means,
in their vast operations in timber
land in the west, and w. A. Clark, a
Californian who acted as the agent
for Hyde and Benson. sold the scrip
to Umatilla county people, who in
turn became owners of the land thus
secured.
Clark is said to have sold the land
to c. Il. Wade, who In turn sold It to
others until all those named became
parties to the suit of the government
to revert the title.
The amount of land named in the
complaint is so acres each and is sit
uated on the Blue mountains in UNA
tilla county and is now said to be
owned by X. G. Warner and the ].
the last purchasers.
The complaint was issued direct
from the office OF the attorney gen.
eral in Washington and is a part of
the prosecution of the Hyde Benson
land fraud ring which is now on trial
In the national capital.
II the suit against Hyde and Ben
son ends in victory for the govern
ment the title to the land in question
will be cancelled and 1t will be re-
stored to the government domain, the
last purchaser to be loser unless he
can recover from the prior owners
through civil action.
Complaints against people all over
the west are being served by the at
torney general in an effort to show
the scope and extent of the Benson
Hyde operations and every effort
will be made by the government to
cancel title to all land transferred
through this famous land fraud ring.
The clerks in the general land office
who confessed to completely In the
Benson-Hyde land frauds are Wood
ford d. Harlan and William e. Walk,
who are now witnesses for the gov
ernment. The forester who also con-
fessed to giving tips from the forestry
department at Washington is Ben
jamin f. Allen. of California.

biographical Sketch.

Thomas G. Haley Is a native Of
eastern Oregon. having been born at
La Grande, Union county, Ore, July

father, Hon. John HALEY Of Idaho, a
native of Tennessee, crossed the plains

across the plains to Oregon with her
father in 1913.
Mr.. Haley is the third son of his
parents, and when he was about six
months old they removed to Idaho
