MEXICO CITY, June 27.-In a
statement to the Associated Press,
Vice-President Correl declares that
the uprising in the northern part OF
the country was inspired by three
irresponsible men who are at present
residing on American territory and
who are claiming America protection.
These men he says are Enrique
Flores Magon OF Los Angeles; Thorn
as Sarabia of San Antonio; Anton
Parraujo of Austin They appealed
to the criminal and ignorant element
on the border states OF Mexico to
raid certain towns and rob banks and
government offices under the pre-
tense OF raising funds for the alleged
revolution. The plan contemplated
raids on Ceiudad Juarez, Ceiudad
Diaz, Las Vacas and Viesca. Except
on the latter two the attempts have
miscarried and the would-be raiders
are now in Jail, Vice-president says
the affair has absolutely no political
significance, merely being participat-
ed in by the criminals and lowest
class of men who have been preyed
on by designing Charlatans.

Calls a Meeting to Plan Active
Campaign
WILL RUSH CELLO CANAL
The Government Should go Ahead
With Work on Cello Canal Says
], N. Teal and Finish it in Five
Years.

| PORTLAND, June 27.-"Nature
/ has done a whole lot for Portland in
the matter OF easy grades connecting
it with an empire Of wealth, and the
city should do something for herself,
said ]. n. Teal this morning.
He is promoting the holding OF a
meeting of Portland business men
and property owners for Tuesday
evening at the Commercial Club
when practical methods for opening
up the Columbia River at Cello will
be discussed.
THE Government should go ahead
with the canal at Cello without in
termisison," he says, "and it is our
business to appeal to the National
authorities in such manner as to
have appropriations sufficient to fin
ish the work in FIVE years.
1T took the government 20 years to
build the canal and locks at the Cas-
cades because there was lack OF or
ganization in the state to make our
needs felt in Washington. The gov
ernment is spending about a million
dollars on the Celilio canal now, but
it will take about FIVE million dollars
ocomplete it.
"The portage road constructed
around the dalles of Cello has done
great deal in keeping freights down
between this city and the Inland En-.
pire but there are not boat above
Cello to connect with those on the
Columbia river below the point We
must arrange to put on the boats
necessary while awaiting the compile
ton of the canal Portland capital
can do this and make the enterprise
pay,
Cheap freights will make a city,
and there is no excuse for Portland
not having cheap communication both
ways between Eastern Oregon, East
ern Washington, Idaho and those
portions of the Inland Empire tapped
by the Columbia and Snake Rivers.

ance Of Portland citizens at the meet

Hyde and Schneider Claim Their
Liberty Was Bartered
VERDICT WAS AGREED TO
Both Declare the Jury Had Planned
Their Verdict by Mutual Agree
ment by Which Freedom of Two
Was Obtained.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Mis-
conduct Of the jury after the case was
submitted to it, amounting to bar
ter of the liberty of Frederick A.
Hyde and Jost H. Schneider, of San
Francisco, to effect an agreement up
on verdict, is alleged by Hyde and
Schneider, recently convicted of CON
spiracy to defraud the government Of
public lands, as an additional assign
ment of reasons for new trial.
This supplemental reason, made
public in the criminal court today,
charges that the verdict was the re-
suit of an agreement among the
jurors that if some of their number
who held different view would
agree to convict the two men, other
jurors would vote to acquit Benson
and diamond.
The defendants say that jurors who
were in favor of convicting Benson
were told that if they would join in
verdict of acquittal as to him,
those in favor of acquitting Hyde
would vote for conviction, and that
if those who thought all four men
should be convicted would vote to ac-
quit Dimond, the jurors favoring
general acquittal would vote to con
vict Schneider.
Attached to the motions are afida-
Wits of the attorneys, A. S. Worthing-
ton and R. G. Donaldson, counsel for
the defendants, that their belief that
the barter was made is based on in
formation received from two Of the
Jurors, and that they are making fur
ther effort to secure affidavits Of the
other members Of the jury as to what

tions.
