THE WHITE SLAVE TRADE.
Preacher Says Roosevelt Must Know
of Conditions on Isthmus.

CHICAGO, June 4-Rev. w. B. Ferguson,
whose sensational attacks on President
Roosevelt because of moral conditions in
Panama shocked the clergy of the United
States, yesterday made even more startling
charges at a midday meeting in Willard
Hall, when he declared that the white
slave" traffic in Chi cago could not be COM
pared with that in Panama He startled
his hearers when he said the slave trade"
was conducted with the knowledge of Pres
ident Roosevelt.
THE President cannot help but know
what is going on" declared the minister
who seemed to have been carried away by
the sights he witnessed in the cities of
Colon and Panama.
He must know It." he continued. and
shook his fist. Not one of the girls can
land without passing through quarantine
Not one could go into the novels that per-
meate these two cities if the officials of
the United States We're unwilling"
He declared that % per cent of the deaths
at Colon were from alcoholism. and there
was more wickedness on the isthmus than
he ever saw before.
The statute says the President shall
have charge of the administration of those
that govern in the Isthmus of Panama" he
declared. And SO President Roosevelt is
responsible.
Il have seen many horrible sights in the
city of Colon. Not a man went there from
the United States who did not find himself
within one hundred feet of saloon when
he awakened. The saloons were arranged
that way.
Young men find it impossible to save
money in the isthmus. The United States
is renting places in Colon and Panama for
saloon purposes. Colon. with 10000 in
habitants, has 300 saloons 1t exces in
wickedness any city in the world.
In short, the United States can put
down instruction, but cannot convert the
Panama district into a decent, fit and moral
place of habitation'

HARTMAN BLAMES ATTACKS.
Saws Efforts of Union Pacific to Get
Loan in Europe Failed.

NEW YORK, June 4.-That negotiations
for the placing Of a 100000 loan in
Europe by the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany failed of success because of the at
tacks on railroad corporations in this coun-
try early in the year, was the statement
made by E. H. Hartman yesterday.
Mr.. Hartman said that had the negotia-
tons been successful the proceeds of the
loan would have been brought to this coun-
try at a time when the American money
markets were urgently In need of funds,
but as the arrangements could not be COM
pleted a different plan Of financing was fol-

exercises and daily impressing upon the
minds of his students the truths of right
living. In way he has been under sus-
picion Of the members of the Topsfeld
school committee for some months and sew
eral made personal investigation.
On Saturday evidence materia1ized that
Brooks was undeniably guilty of forgery
and, acting upon direct information of the
school committee, they decided to dismiss
Principal Brooks without a hearing. The
extent of his forgeries will probably never
be known.
1t is now known that he had had other
financial difficulties previous to his advent
here and also that he had been known un-
der other names. Mr.. Brooks became prin-
cipal of the high school September t. 1906.

grants, has been double the minimum
price, or $3.50 per acre. That is prob
ably where you got the impression Of
the requirement that the land should
be sold at $3.50 per acre. But that
provision has no reference whatever
to the price that may be charged by
the railroad company for the lands
therein embraced. There is nothing
contained in the grant to prohibit the
railroad company from selling its
land for the highest price that it can
command. Hence there seems to be
no foundation for the report that the
company was required by the terms
Of the grant to sell it's lands for $25C

NO MAXIMUM PRICE

For many years there has been a
widespread impression in Oregon that
the California and Oregon Railroad
Company has no legal right to sell
the land within the limits of It's grant
from the Government for more than
$2.5Oper acre. Desiring to investigate
the correctness OF this opinion, J.
G. VanOrsdel, OF this city, recently
wrote to his brother, Hon, J. A. Van
Orsdel, Assistant Attorney General of
the United States, for official inform
alton on the subject. General Van
Orsdel replies from his Office In Wash
ington as follows:
81 received your letter some time
ago requesting me to investigate the
conditions under which land grants
were made to the California and Or
egon Railroad Company.
''This grant was made under act OF
Congress approved July 25, 1866, for
the purpose Of constructing line OF
road from the city Of Portland to the
Central Pacific Railroad in the Sacra-
mento Valley in California. There
was granted to the railroad company
every alternate section OF public
lands not mineral designated by odd
numbers to the amount Of twenty al.
ternate sections per mile ten on each
side) of said railroad line.
"In other words, the railroad COM
pany was granted each alternate odd
numbered section for 20 miles on each
side OF the line OF railroad. There is
no Limitation contained in the grant
as to the price for which these lands
could be sold by the railroad COM
pany. There was, however, a further
provision in the grant, as follows
"'And the sections and parts OF sec
tIons OF lands which shall remain in
the United States within the limits OF
the aforesaid grant shall not be sold
for less than double Tthe minimum
price Of public lands when Sold
The minimum price for the sale Ol
public lands ever since has been $1.2I
per acre. Therefore, the Government
