public the names of 81 men included
in the final and most important gov
eminent land fraud indictments which
has been returned by the present
federal grand jury, which brought to
a conclusion it's hearings today and
was discharged.
The Indictment, which charges a far
reaching and intricate conspiracy to
secure 100000 acres of some of the
finest timber land in Oregon, located
in Crook, Lake and Klamath counties,
names F. W. Gilchrist, Ralph Gilchrist,
Patrick Culligan and James MacPher-
son, of Alpena, Mich; H. w. Stone of
Benson, Mimi; Baron C. A. M. @. S.

Charles M. Elkins and Jack Combs of
Prineville, Ore, and Benjamin F. Allen
of Portland, Ore, doing business as
Elkins & Co.; Judge M E. Brink of
PTineville; d. F. Steffa, editor of the
Cook County Journal of Prinville; A.
C Palmer and H. j. Palmer, law
yers, Of Portland; E. Dorgan, F. ]. De-
vine and ]. " Collins, members of the
firm of E. Dorgan & Co., of AL

chant, of Albany; ]. W. Hopkins, at
torney, of Vancouver, Wash; w. w,
Brown, attorney of Seattle, Wash.

According to the indictment, FL
kins & Co., DoTgan & Co., the Gil

Stone were the moving spirits in the
alleged conspiracy.
If the allegations of the endictment
are true the mode of operations was
similar to those nearly all the con-
spiracies which have been found in
this state, with this exception, that it's
ramitications are alleged to be won
derfully extensive and simple. The
plan was merely to obtain land by pro-
curing entrymen to file on desirable
public acreage, and as soon as patent
is issued, to sell it to the alleged ring
leaders.

THE DOOR OF mANcHuRrA OPEN.
May 10 Japan is to Open Antung and
Tatunqkau Ports.


Pending the gradual withdrawal of
troops from Manchuria the imperial
japanese government has so far been
unable to permit the entering of for
eigners into Manchuria of oreign yes
sells into the ports of the province,
or the arrival of foreign consular Of
fees. The evacuation, however, has
now made much progress, and the gov
eminent has decided to put into ex-
ecution its declared principal of the
"open door and equal opportunity"
From May 10 foreigners and foreign
vessels will be free to enter Antung
and Tatungkau, while foreign consular
officers will be permitted to reside at
Antung.
From June / next consular officers
will be allowed to reside at Mukden,
and, so far as no military inconveni-
ence shall be occasioned, permission
will be accorded to foreigners in gene
raj to travel in the interior of Man
churia. The Japanese government has
also decided to open Ta-lien-wan to
foreign commerce at as early a date
as possible.

THE HARD COAL STRIKE is Off.
If Operators Agree to Accept Terms
Of Miners Surrender.

On the advice of president Mitchell,
representing the subscale committee,
the miners convention has unani-
mously voted to adopt the first propo-
sition of the operators, continuance
of the award of the anthracite coal
commission, with the modification that
the term for which it is to continue
shall be mutually agreed upon. The
operators suggestion That it should be
at least three years
The only matter to be discussed at
the conference are the length of time
the award shall continue and the pro-
visions that there shall be no discri-
mination against the men who obeyed
the mineworkers' suspension order.
1t is practically certain that the
operators would accede to any sug
gestion for two years agreement, as
that would throw the conference into a
presidential year, and as the miners
will not want a long term of agreement
the chances are that a three year
agreement will be eventually entered
upon. An intimation has been received
from president Baer that the operators
will not discriminate against the mi
ners now on suspension, and the local
representatives of the coal companies
say the same thing. 1t looks, there
fore, as if strike has been averted
and the miners will return to work
probably on Monday, May IA.

TARGET FOR A BOMB
GOVERNOR GENERAL OF MOSCOW,
ALMOST ASSASSINATED.
Was Being Driven to the Palace-He
Was Wounded in the Foot, and His
Aid and Sentry Were KiIled-5omb
Thrower Reported KiIIed-5ystand-
ers Injured.

Moscow, Russia, May 8.-A bomb
was thrown at the carriage of Vice
Admiral Doubasoff, governor general
of Moscow, as he was being driven to
the palace He was wounded in the
foot and his aide de Camp and SEN
try were klAed. The man who threw
the bomb is reported to have eeen
killed. He wore an officers uniform,
Access to the palace is barred.
Governor Doubasoff was returning
in an open carriage from the Uspensh
cathedral and lne outrage took place
outside the carriage entrance to his
palace. Several bystanders were in
jured.
Vice Admiral Doubasoff's life was
saved by the poor aim of his would-be
assassin. The bomb exploded on the
pavement several PAGES to the rear
of his carriage, hurting the mutilated
corpse of the terrorist several yards
backward and tearing off an arm and
the face of an aide who was descend
ing from the carriage. Governor Gen
eral Doubasoff was thrown from his
carriage and under the horses heels
His back was burned and his leg
bruised, but he was able to walk I'M
assisted into the palace.
The coachman's skull was fractured,
and he was taken to a hospital.
It was thought the assassin was the
student in whose rooms a bomb ex-
ploded Saturday, killing three accom-
plices, but who at the time was
watching the palace from a room in
the hotel opposite.
Doubasoff Marked Man.
Vice Admiral Doubasoff was ap-
pointed governor general of Moscow
in December last. He is also an aide
of the emperor and a member of the.
council of the empire. Since his APP
pointment as governor general several
plots against him have been uncov-
cred. Almost Immediately after TAX
ing office he incurred the enmity of
the revolutionists, who entered into
conspiracy to adbuct him, but this
failed. In January he was advised that
an attempt woulu be made at the cele-
bration of the ceremony of the bless
ing of the waters to assassinate him.
AS result Prince Koslovska was ar
rested, charged with being an Access
sorry to the conspiracy.
In March a holder attempt on Dou-
basoff's life was frustrated by the ar
rest of woman who had actually in
vaded the palace. She gained adj
mittance on the plea that she had
come from a personal friend of the
governor general. Her agitation in
the chancellory attracted the atten-
ton of an aide. He noted particular
ly the luxuriance of the woman's hair,
which was worn in high couture. In
terrogation alarmed her and she at
tempted to flee, but was seized and
searched and small bomb was found
concealed in her hair.

MEN IN PARIS WEAR coRsETs.
Are Called "shaped Belt" and Are
Quite Popular.

Quite Popular.
Mems Wear declares that the de-
mand for shaped belts by the men by
Paris is increasing, and that
many doctors are now recommending
these supports for the manly figure.
The belts, which are akin to corstes,
are being taken up by hosiers, and in
one case a well known firm of spe-
cialists in underwear supplies a
shaped belt scientifically cut and ap-
piled. Corpulency and the lapse of
the chest, it is claimed, can be avoided
by the use of these belts, while men
who have to stand long derive great
benefits from them, finding that they
support the body just where support
is naturally needed

NORTH YAKIMA FIRE
LOSS is ESTIMATED AT NEARLY
100000, WELL INSURED.
Northern Pacific Freight Depot and
A Block Of Wholesale Houses Went
Up-Man and Boy InJured-change
in Direction Of Wind saved Town
From Destruction.

has wiped out a block of wholesale
warehouses bounded by the Northern
Pacific right of way, Selah street, A
street and Yakima avenue, entailing a
loss of 100000 only partially covered
by insurance.
The Northern Pacific freight depot
was entirely consumed 1t was filed
with freight and the company is the
heaviest sufferer from the fire. For a
time it appeared as if the western part
of the city would go, but a change in
the wind saved this section by hard
work The Northern Pacific passen-
ger depot was saved, which prevented
the big buildings on Front street
from catching fire.
Thomas Clemain, IA year old boy,
was struck by a shot of an exploding
shell in the Yakima Hardware com
pan and seriously injured about the
face.
James Metcalf. a volunteer fireman,
fell from a building and was badly
hurt Both injured were removed to
the hospital.
The fire originated in the Pioneer
Lumber company's plant from an un-
known cause and burned with great
rapidity. Six Of the eight buildings
in the block were frame, as was the
Northern Pacific depot.
The fire leaped from Yakima and
Selah street, but the blazes we're ex-
tinguished before they gained head
way Had it gained foothold on Sc
lah street a large part Of the resi-
dence district would have been con-
sumed,
Big Fire the Day Before.
Fire starting from crossed electric
wires or defective fiue destroyed the
Yakima county courthouse, The
blaze started near the roof, which gave
plenty of time to save the county
records. In offices having vaults the
records were hurridly placed in safe
ty. Scores of persons labored to
carry books from the other offices and
deposit them in the streets and near
by houses. It was frame structure
and burned rapidly after getting
start
A dozen prisoners were in jail in the
basement Of the building. When the
fire was discovered they were mar
shaled in the rear of the Jail, and when
it was seen the building was doomed
they we're handcuffed in pairs and re-
moved to the city Jail. The Indian and
negro prisoners appeared as cool as
the white men, as Sheriff Grant, with
drawn revolver accompanied by sew
eral deputies. brought them through
the big crowd at the rear of the Jail.
The basement was damaged only by
water.
The new 100000 courthouse has
been under construction for three
months 1t will be completed during
the summer. and until then the county
offices will be located in various build
ings in the city.
