San Francisco, Nov. 15.-New and
sensational features have come to
light in connection with the graft in
veStigatioE in this city. 1t is learned
on good authority that the relief
funds for the fire sufferers have been
looted to the extent of nearly $1,000
600. So indignant was President
Roosevelt, on hearing of the stealing
of the funds contributed by sympa-
thetic citizens of various states for the
relief of the unfortunates of San
Francisco. that ne is reported to have
said that he would bring the offenders
from the uttermost parts of the earth
should they make temporary escape.
Postal Orders Taken.
During the first days following the
fire in San Francisco, sympathetic
citizens throughout the country for
warded relief moneys by postal or
ders and by enclosing scrip in envel-
opes and other packages. The world
not heing acquainted with the organ
iZation of relief bodies in the city.
forwarded much financial aid in care
of Mayor Schmitz.
1t is said amounts ranging from so
cents upward into hundreds and pos
sibly thousands of dollars were sent
to the mayor and that a compara-
lively small sum only reached the Red
Cross or citizens relief committee as
shown by the records. 1t is estimated
that the relief moneys were forward
ed through 10000 and possibly 3d.
600 postcffices of the United States
and also that considerable sums came
through the express companies.
Roosevelt Interested.
The interest of President Roose-
welt and the federal authorities in this
affair has been so great that the pres
ident is credited with the statement
that the government will expend ST.
100000 if necessary to unearth and
bring the criminals to justice.
over 100 of the most expert oper-
atiVes of the secret service depart
ment have been at work among the
postoffices of the Union and in this
city tracing money orders and re-
ceipts. The crime of forgery is said
to be included in the offenses of the
raiders of the relief contributions.
1t is through the presidents influ-
ence that William j. Burns, one Of
the most expert and successful de-
tectives in the employ of the govern
ment' is detailed to work in San
Francisco. 1t was also through thu
president that Francis J. Henev, who
with Burns was engaged in prosecut-
ing important land fraud cases in
oregon and California was detached
from that work and assigned to the
san Francisco graft investigation.
So secret has been the work Of
tnese government agents that even

Senator Fulton was driven along
three sides of the so-called Crow e.

to all portions of it practically as he
could have gone with wagon, and
had a good opportunity and did have
full understanding of the character
of the lands in that pasture.
From there he was driven across

good agricultural land, to the high
brakes of the Southern fork of Nc
Kay creek. and from that point view

in the bill.

By reason of the heavy gale which
continued almost steadily all dag,
telegraph and telephone wires have
been out of commission more or less,
and in many instances communication
is entirely cut off. The wind began
blowing at an early hour this morn
ing and increased somewhat in veloc-
ity up to noon. but slackened to some
extent this afternoon.
The wires operated by the Western
Union were in bad shape all day and
it was impossible to get into COM
munication for any length of time
with Portland or any other outside
places. The only exception to this is
single and occasional wire to Port
land, via Spokane. Direct telegraphic
communication east or west from
Pendleton any distance is impossible.
As result the telegraphic service of
the East Oregonian today is some
what abbreviated, and the usual
amount Of foreign news will be missed.
Besides the poor service of the tell
egraph system. the telephone lines
have not been working we'll and much
trouble has been experienced by pa
irons and employees of the company.
Linemen have been at work in the
attempt to improve conditions on the
system. but as the wind continues.

THE GOVERNOR AND FALSE
REPORTS.


Saturday afternoon The Optic re.
ceived from Win Barnes. who was a
delegate to the Cattle & Horse Pro-
tective association of Central New
Mexico, a letter relating to the clos
ing proceedings. Owing to the lat
ness OF the hour the last part OF thu
letter was crowded out.
The part omitted Is OF sufficient
importance to receive special notes
and commentator. 1t relates to the
attitude OF Governor Hagerman to
the Mexican people ~ expressed by
the governor himself In an address
before the association at San Mar
cial. The governors attitude shows
him to be broad, liberal In his views
aud the governor Of all his people.
II has been said that Governor
Hagerman has an antipathy for the
native people OF the territory. The
claim Is foolish, but the utterances
of the governor at San Marcial will
doubtless have the effect OF quieting
all such rumors
Says Mr.. Barnes In his letter. Mr..
Trujillo 1.-THE chairman) assured Gov
ernor Hagerman Of the deep and
sincere regard which the native peo-
| pie OF the territory felt for him and
| pledged him their hearty and loyal
| support In all his actions"
After referring to the Introductory
| remarks Of the governor Mr.. Barnes
continues:
HE took occasion to speak of the
reports 80 industriously circulated that
he came into the governors chair with
a prejudice against the native peo'
| pie. He assured them OF the absol.
ute falsity OF the report and de-
clared himself always the friend Of
| the people OF New Mexico OF all
| classes and more than ever the friend
| OF the native element whose fore.
| fathers came to New Mexico fifty
years before the Pilgrims landed on
Plymouth Rock"
During his address at San Marcial
Governor Hagerman also took occas-
ion to set at rest the reports that
have been circulated since he assum,
ed the executive reins. regarding his
relation to the Catholic church. To
quote further:
Touching another resort which
had been indust ttonsly circulated
around the territory thai re was OBJ
rsed to not only tn. native people
but the Catholic church Governor
Hagerman denied the charge most
earnestly ana lmpressively.
HE claimed the highest respect
for the church and cited his " case
where. when sick almost TO death In
q foreign country he was cared for
and nursed back to life BY the good
sisters OF Charity Of the Catholic
church.
HE told his listners that the Arch
bishop and Bishop at Santa Fe were
his personal friends, that he had con-
suited with them freely and openly

harmony with them and in the future
when acting on any matters q
terniug the welfare OF the native
people he intended to take into his
counsel both these good -rreA sAnd To
be guided as far as possible by their
advice and wisdom.
The governor handled the whole
question in a very frank and ingen-
ions manner and certainly refuted
these charges which had come to
him from various sources In a way
that LEFT no doubt In the minds 81
his tearers ~ his entire sincerity and
fruthfuiness.s
