A delay of thirty days in the ao- Indication of the railroad litigation be- tween the State of Alabama and the railroads of the State has been grant ed. upon the request Of the States at- torneys. agreed to by the attorneys of the railroads.
 The request was made by the attor- neys for the State i'm order that they may file some additional answers from served on them in the l.. and N. in junction proceedings.
 The matter is before Judge Asa F.. Stratton. thesmaster in the cause at is- sue, who Is preparing the papers for Judge Thomas c. Jones of the Federal Court He granted the postponement of thirty days upon the presentation of an agreement by the attorneys repre- senting both parties to the issue The time will expire on Nov. 5, when Judge Stratton will prepare and file his mas fer's report.

 And so confident is the Attorney General of Minnesota that the princi- ples of the case of Fitts vs. McGhee apply to his attitude and connection with these cases. that although en- joined in nine suits by the Federal Court in Minnesota. he has ignored the Federal injunctions and has in- stituted mandamus proceedings against the nine offending railroads in Minne- sota. He has been cited to appear be- fore the Federal court and show cause why he is not in contempt and the re- suit of the courts action will be watched with much interest
 "Following the discussion of the con- flict of Jurisdiction between the State and Federal courts a resolution was adopted by unanimous vote memorial izing and petitioning the President and Congress to take away the Jurisdiction of the inferior Federal courts under the Fourteenth Amendment in cases of this character I believe this would be a solution of this question and as the United States circuit courts are of statutory creation, I see no difficulty in the way of Congress to deprive them of this Jurisdiction.
 Tt would leave the State courts which are the appropriate forum for the trial of these matters, with orig inal Jurisdiction. with the right still left of an appeal to the United States Supreme Court on writ of error and thus by due process of law this court would review the merits of the case in controversy ss

 Tt is also agreed that the defendant may have thirty days additional time from this date in which to file answers of such sheriffs and solicitors, parties defendant, as have not heretofore fled answer.
 There appears a disposition to hurry the trial of the cases. The States att torneys have been busy in preparing answers and securing evidence. For this they asked for and were granted further time. The artvrneys for the railroads say that they win do every thing possible to expedite the trial of the suits, as they believe the settlement of these suits as early as possible will be for the interests they represent Tho attorneys for the State have had a great deal of work to do in the prepara- ton of the answers to each of the sep arate bills filed by the various roads of the State. and they have necessarily required time for this labor. hence the delay
 Three railroads, parties to the pend ing suits. yesterday filed exceptions in the Federal court to parts of the answers of the State in pending litiga- tion. The exceptions are of technical nature. They single certain parts of the answers which they say are unin- te1ligible.
 The exceptions were filed by the Kan sas City, Memphis and Birmingham. the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlanta anu Birmingham Air Line. the two latter being kindred corporations

selma, OcI., 5.
 The need of a public school in the eastern part of the. city has been brought to the attention of the City School sBoard and 1t Is believed that it will result in public school being es- tabilshed there.
 The children in the eastern part of the city who attend either of the pub lie schools have to come up in the city to either the Dallas Academy or the Baker school The Baker school is the nearest to that part of the city and the distance which the pupils have to go to attend that institution is a mile. There are many other reasons advanced why a school should be established in the Fifth ward.
 It is stated that on account Of the distance from the homes in that part of the city that many children who should De In sctool attend no school at all The establishment of a school in the Fifth ward would see the enrolment of a number of scholars and the school would be one of the most prosperous in the city.
 Mrs. J. J. Thomas. a well known resident of the Fifth ward has taken up the matter of having a school estab- llshed in that part of the city. Mrs. Thomas has seen the school board and also Mayor Atkins.
 Mayor Atkins promised Mrs Thomas the support of the, city and told hei that If she found a building which she deemed suitable for a school that the city would pay the rent. The City School Board has promised to furnish the teacher and it is believed that the school will be opened shortly.

Washington, April 5.-Attorney
Milburn today concluded his argu-
nent in favor of Hartman before
the interstate commerce commission,
maintaining that the acquisition of
the Southern Pacific by the Union
Pacific was not in violation of the
Sherman act, thus indicating the line
of defense If the government insti-
tutes a suit upon the basis of the
commissions findings.
Milburn made a plea for fair play
and said: Before the report is
submitted, inquire into the Pennsyl-
vania and Vanderbilt lines Northern
Pacific, Rock Island and Great
Northern. They are all parallel and
non-competing, and this has been 60
ing on the same under the eyes Of
the commission for years. Let this
body consider the peoples questions
calmly, paying no attention to the
politicians. Do not pick us out, but
treat all alike"
Attorney Severance for the gov
ernment, endeavored to show the
Sherman law is violated; that the
Union Pacific controlled the Illinois
Central and that both the Southern
and Union got into Portland and
competed for trade at that point.

Details of the Plot.

Washington. April 5.-Additional
! details of gigantic political conspir-
acy which the president charges is be-
ing formed by corporate interests to
defeat his policies We're given out at
the White House last evening.
Men who are engineering the
scheme have fund of $1,000, 900 al
ready subscribed to effect their pur-
pose" said an administration repre-
sentative, "and the trail of the con-
spirators goes right across the conti-
nent They will stop at nothing.
They will buy newspapers, legislature
or votes If necessary to down the
president"
When asked how the president
learned a conspiracy was afoot, the
spokesman replied; 1T all came out
at a dinner when a friend of Harri-
man, Hearst and Rockefeller, espec-
tally the latter, attempted to take
some new converts into the scheme,
but he was too drunk to act with
Judgment and gave the whole thing
away. l do not care to say when
nor where the dinner took place"

TIMBER LAND
SELLING WELL
CLAIMS SELLING AT
$1,000 TO $500
Cruisers of Three Timber Companies
Are Now i'm the South Part of the
County Where Several Large Tracts
Have Been Purchased-Over 5000
Acres Held by Pool of La Grande
People-Many Fine Tracts of Tim
Der Land Still Held by Entrymen.

That Umatilla county timber land
is in brisk demand is shown by the
fact that timber claims in the south
ern part of the county are now SELL
ing all the way from $1,000 to s2,-
500 each and three eastern timber
syndicates have agents in the vicinity
of Alba and Ukiah, cruising the tim
Der and making purchases where pos
sible.
Several large tracts have been pur-
chased recently and other large tracts
are now being cruised by the agents
for the timber companies. The tract
of about 5000 acres belonging to La
Grande people who have pooled their
claims and who are holding it for
sale in one body, is perhaps the
largest which will be placed on the
market this spring. This timber is
on Desolation creek and comprises
one of the best bodies of yellow pine
left in the inland empire.
While almost the entire timber
belt in the south part of the county
is now located, there are many peo-
pie still going into that section in
search of land.

Washington, April 5.-The president
Is preparing to follow up the coup
sprung on the trusts yesterday and
carried exclusively in the Scripps dis
patches. By the time the president
gets through grilling the men accus-
ed of planning to defeat his policies,
the s5.0OO.OOO slush fund will dwin-
die into small proportions on account
of Withdrawals. The presidents
right-hand man today said:
$50 soon as we get additional facts
they will be given to the public"
This statement is regarded as equiv
alent to the announcement that the
administration has satisfactory evil
dence of big plot in its possession.
Among the interesting side lights
added today to current revelations
concerning the alleged interest of the
great corporations in the campaign
of 1904, is the following from one
on the inside: Certain trusts tried,
through campaign contributions, to
cast an anchor to windward. so they
might later secure immunity from
prosecution. Cortelyou saved the ad-
ministration at least one embarrass-
ment when representative of the to-
bacco trust offered a check for sew
eral thousand dollars for the cam
paign fund, which Cortelyou refused
without explanations. after It was de-
veloped that papers were on file at
Washington putting the tobacco trust
among the possibilities for prosecu-
ton. These papers are still in the
hands of General Bonaparte, who is
deciding whether he has case or
not. Many similar incidents were re-
vealed, and the offers were always re-
jected,
