terprise. who are saying that tho line

Johns said tnat he helped survey the
Sumrter Valley railway from Baker
City to McEwsn: that he drove the

people Ut Baker City kicked against
the project, on the ground that IL
would deprived that town OF much
revenue derived from teamiug aud
by wagon. Mr.. Johns dep.
recatad this narrow. minded view OF
the matter, aud concluded by saying
that in Baker City, two years after

CONFIRM CRUM NOMINATION
The Negro Was Appointed Under
President Mckinney, But Wns OPP
posed By senator TiIlmnu.

Washington. Jan. THE nomina-
ton of W. u. Crum, negro, to be col
lectOr Of customs for the port of
Charleston, $. c., was confirmed by
the senate in executive session, Friday,
by vote of 30 to II. Crum had been
nominated by the president three
times. and had received three recess
appointments. Confirmation was op-
posed by Senator Tillman, who object
ed to the appointment Of negro.
Senator Tillman made speech de-
voted almost entirely to the question
OF the constitutional right of the pres
ident TO make a recess appointment
when no actual recess had occurred,
the senate having adjourned one ses-
sion and began another at noon of the
same day
The race issue played very insig-
niiicant part in the debate, which was
participated in by fully a dozen sen-
ators.
When Crum receives his commission
he will be entitled TO receive the sal
ary which has accumulated since his
first appointment.

ON CHARGE OF MALFEASANCE
Indictment Found Against Former
Mayor of Portland, Orc.-Other
OniciaIs Also Indicted.

Portland Ore, Jan. J.-George II.
Williams. ex-chief justice of Oregon
territory, eX-lnted States senator from
the state Of Oregon, attorney-general
in President Grants cabinet, mayor of
Portland and a man with the snow of
So winters upon his head, was indicted
by the county grand jury of Multno-
may county, Wednesday, on the charge
of malfeasance in Office.
The Indictment states that on July
f., 1904, Judge Williams was mayor OF
Portland and while acting in that ca
pacity refused TO enforce the statutes
regulating gambling. This law, which
was passed al the last session of the
legislature, gives the mayor power to
close disorderly houses within four
miles of the city. and it is alleged that
he failed to avail himself of that
power.
An indictment against Chief of Po-
lice Hunt is almost identical with that
returned against Mayor Willims, charg-
ing that he knowingly permitted a
gambling game TO be conducted at the
Portland club.
indictments were also returned
against w. c. Elliott. recently deposed
as city engineer; his inspectors, j. NJ.
Caywood and Henry Chandler and r.
W. and r. NJ. Riner, contractors The
indictments against Elliott, Caywood,
Chandler and the Riners charge OBJ
tanning money from the city by false
pretenses, and are the result Of the in
vestsation of the alleged Tanner
creek sewer frauds.
