SENATOR BORAH
SEES president
Former Denies That He Made Appeal
to Roosevelt or Department of
Justice-Recent Rumors
Held Lightly
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-"I have
not come to Washington to make an
appeal to the president or to the de-
partment of justice" said Senator
Borah of Idaho, as he left the White
House today after brief call upon
the president.
This statement was made by the
senator when his attention was called
to reports that he had come east to
induce the officials here to call halt
upon the federal officials in his state
in the matter of the alleged indictment
of persons charged with having been
engaged in timber land frauds.
THE reports that indictments have
been returned against me or any clients
for alleged land frauds" continued the
senator, ARE simply rumors. I know
nothing of any such indictments. The
grand jury has not yet reported It's
findings and no one seems to have any
official knowledge of the reported in
dictments. l did not discuss these mat
ters with the president. My call was
simply one of respect. l have been In
New York and am now on my way
home, for which place l expect to leave
tonight"
Senator Borah, who is assisting in
the prosecution of Haywood Meyer and
Pettibone, of the Western Federation
of Miners, who are alleged to be i'm
plicated in the murder of Ex-Governor
Steunenburg, said the trial, which is to
begin early in May will, in his opinion,
last about two months.

Estate

Beresford, who was killed in a train
wreck in North Dakota December "a,
1906, leaving very large estate, have
filed an application in the district court
here for the appointment Of an ad-
ministrator.
Among the plaintiffs is Flora Wolff,
the negress, who claimed to have been
the common law wife of Beresford, and
to whom he willed $4,000.
The others are persons whom Beres-
ford was indebted to, whose claims a
New York lawyer, representing the
Beresfords, attempted to discount. The
estate is valued at over $1,000,000 and
consists of lands and cattle in Mexico
and Canada
After bequeathing $4,000 to Flora
Wolff the will left the remainder of
the property to Beresford's two broth
ers. The Wolff woman declined to ac-
cept the amount left her, claiming a
wife's share under the laws of Mexico.
Admiral Lord Beresford when here
some weeks ago failed to reach a COM
promise with Flora Wolff and left the
other claims to be adjusted by his at
torney in New York.

Judge DooIing Introduces Resolution

luton providing for a board of in
quiry and aimed at Gallagher, Ruef
and others has been made a special or
der for tomorrow.
The fight promises to be hard and
bitter. 1t is difficult to foretell the
result, although the resolution, on &C
count of the strong front of the coun-
try delegates, seems likely to pass.
Assemblyman Nathan C. Coghlin of
Rincon parlor, San Francisco, arrived
tonight According to the best author
ity, he will lead the fight on behalf of
the alleged grafters on the floor Of the
convention.
AS a result of the strong country
feeling against San Francisco, it seems
likely that only two of the nearly a
dozen candidates from that city will
be elected grand trustees. These are
G. w. Gerhard of Dolores parlor and
William D. Hynes of Stanford parlor,
and possibly Richard D. Barton, Sc
quota parlor.
The probable grand trustees are:
Fletcher Cutler, Eureka, law partner
of Governor Gillett; H. c. Lichten-
berger of Los Angeles, incumbents; E.
+. Garrison Of Oakland, and Gerhard
and Hynes.
For the other two the fight is be-
tween George L.. Farmer of Calistoga
present inside sentinel; Frank r. Wehe
Lieutenant Governor Porter, George A
Burns of Sacramento and possibly Nc

WASHINGTON, April 23.-In a letter
addressed to Honore Jackson of Chi
cago, chairman of the Cook county
Meyer Haywood conference, made pub
lie today, President Roosevelt replies
to the criticisms of his recent letter
in which he referred to Meyer and
Haywood, officials of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners charged with iinpli-
cation in the murder of former Cover
nor Steunenberg of Idaho, as "un-
desirable citizens"
The president says he regrets that
any body of men should so far forget
their duty to their country as to, by
formation of societies or in other ways,
endeavor to influence justice and coerce
court or jury; that they, not he, are
trying to influence justice and he con-
demns what he calls their fragrant inn
propriety in the matter.
He says that he indicated no opinion
as to their guilt of the Steunenberg
murder, but that it was simple alb
surdity to suppose that because man
is on trial he is free from criticism as
to his manner of life.
He says he might as well be accused
of trying to influence the suits against
Hartman, some of whose friends had
also criticised him. He said that
Meyer and Haywood stand as repre-
sentatives of those who habitually ap-
pear as guilty of incitement to or
apology for bloodhsed and violence.
He added that he was profoundly In
different to the condemnation of him
for his criticisms of the undesirable
types Of citizens, regardless of either
labor or capital. The presidents letter
to Jackson follows:
