TRADE LUMBER
FOR HIDES
President Taft Is
in a Fighting
Mood
TWO HOUSES MAY CLASH
Chief Executive Insists That
Senate Rates Be
Adopted.

Washington, D. G., July 2S.-White
House visitors reported today that the
President is not satisfied with the re-
ported agreement of the tariff con-
ferees last night by which rate Of
$1.50 a thousand is placed on lumber.
The President is said to have de-
clared that he would insist that the
rate on lumber should not go over
SIPS.
1t is reiterated about the capitol
that hides had been traded for lum-
Der in the preparation of the confer
ee's report and the low lumber repre-
sentatives profess themselves willing
to accept the responsibility of defeat
ing the bill if $3.50 stands. It is not
believed that the report increasing the
House rates on lumber can be adopt
ed by the House. 1t is believed it
would be accepted by the Senate. The
low lumber men believe they have
the strength to cause a re-opening of
the question in conference and secure
a reduction of rate. The conferees
took up the glove schedule today. Ac-
ccrding to callers, the President in
sisted that the Senate rates should
be accepted.
Cannon Opposes Reduction on Gloves.
Washington, D. c., July 2S.-When
the conference adjourned at noon it
was found that the main obstacle to
an agreement on the Senate glove
rates was Speaker Cannon who held
out for the high House rates. 1t is said
that Payne is with Cannon on this. He
urged rate Of $1.25 on rough lumber,
telling the Senate that he IS apprehen-
sive of not being able to get the SEN
atetrates through the House, but hopes
the House would accept compromise.
The conference then agreed to reopen
the lumber schedule.
Memorial to Congress.
Special to The New Mexican.
Washington, d. c., July 2S.-Dele-
gate w. H. Andrews today presented
various memorials in the House af-
fecting New Mexico legislation.

ARMOUR TAKES HAND IN
CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET

Chicago. July 15.-Armour was a
bear in the wheat market today and
whenever the provision king gets busy
with his selling lieutenants the mar
ket generally takes on a bearish tinge
for while at least. Today's clos
ing Of the wheat pit was 1-Sc down
for the July, while other deliveries
lost from / SIS to Use from yester-
days price.
Mr.. Armours activity in the bear
camp was not wholly the cause for
the disaster to July prices for the
provision man generally was a seller
of the September and 1t was this in
fluence that brought about serious
liquidation and profit taking in the
July.
While foreigners were inclined to
see higher prices for wheat still they
looked askance at the enormous ad-
vance Of the July wheat here yester-
day. Liverpool opened SIS to Id
above yesterday and closed with a
net advance Of IA to 5-Sd.
While the cash Wheat situation Is
fully as strong as dring yesterdays
trading, when this forced the July
option &c higher, still there was no
excitement in the buying of spot grain
today and quotations we're about as
previously listed.

MURGATROYD WAS
ACQUITTED SATURDAY

st. Helens, Ore, July 19.-"Not
\ guilty" was the verdict of the jury
| Saturday in the case of George MUIR
J gatroyd, accused of the murder of
Robert Livingstone on the night of
December II, 1908.
The jury went out at 9:15 and re-
turned the verdict at IL o'clock, after
taking three ballots. On the first
ballot the count was II for acquittal
and one blank; the second, IL for
acquittal and one for manslaughter
The defendant shook hands with the
jury and his aged father, with stream
ing eyes, thanked each one person.
ally.
While Prosecuting Attorney Tongue,
apparently deeply chagrined, refused
to make a statement, it is believed
that speedy action will be taken by
the state toward calling a speciai
grand jury and filing an indictment
against Roy Malone, the youth who
was first arrested in connection with
the crime, and whose statements leo
to the arrest of Murgatroyd. Malone
is now in the county Jail at St. Hell
ems charged with larceny from a
dewlling, His bail has been placed
at $500, which he has been unable
to furnish.
Hearing Of Evidence Suddenly Closed.
Just before o'clock the state and
the defense rested, a sudden termi-
nation having come to the introduc.
tionof testimony, the prosecution be-
ing taken off its feet by the failure OF
the defense to place George Murga-
troyl in the witness stand. So secure
did the defense feel that a number OF
witnesses were not examined and no
effort was made to explain the
movements of young Murgatroyd by
his own statement, 1t being held that
a sufficient alibi had been estab-
lished, The prosecution had appar-
emily expected to get a chance to re-
but the evidence of George Murga-
troyd at the close of the trla,.
Judge Campbells instructions were
full and apparently impartial. The
law Of murder and of evidence was
given clearly, and attorneys on both |
sides were free in Expressing satisfac- |
ton at the instructions.

BALL|AGER TELLS
OF NEW POLICY

Seattle.-Secretary Of the Interior
Ballinger, who has been represented
IN newspaper and magazine articles
as having reversed the former policy
of the department in the matter oi
withdrawal from sale or entry OF
public lands containing power SITES
has prepared a statement in which
he sets forth what has been done. Mr..
Ballinger says:
THE facts in connection with the
water power Withdrawals are sub
stantially as follows: Upon discJv-
ering that large areas of land had
been withdrawn through the recla-
nation service without any specific
knowledge Of their water power IA
cilities, these lands, aggregating many
thousands Of acres of agricultural
and other lands, withdrawn under a
blanket system which was based on
slight field knowledge of the exist
ence Of power sites, and with no
funds in the reclamation bureau, or
Information sufficient to permit fur
ther investigation, | determined upon
transferring this work to the geologi-
cal survey, which bureau possessed
the funds as well as the data to make
temporary Withdrawals Of water pow
er sites sufficient to include all ex-
istlng Withdrawals that in any way
affected power sites upon the public
domain, for the purpose of making
proper recommendations to congress
FOR additional legislation.
"Restorations were made of the
former after the geological survey
furnished the department data under
which all OF the available sites with
in the former Withdrawals were Sc
cured, together with large additional
territory containing valuable water
power sites. The area originally
under the blanket with
approximated 100000 acres.
Under data furnished by the geologi-
cal survey the acreage to be with
drawn did not exceed 10000 acres,
showing the wisdom OF the course
pursued of not withdrawing any more
lands than were necessary for the
purpose"

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson over
the forest reserves, but such is not
the case. / have no quarrel with Sec
cetary Wilson. My views and those
of effort Plnchot, head of the forest
ry bureau, which is a part Of the de-
partment Of agriculture, diverged in
the matter of forest reserves. / main
tained that the law should be enforc-
ed and 1t Is now up to the attorney
general for a decision" declared r. A.
Balllnger, secretary Of the interior in
an interview tonight.
THE department Of interior has
charge of all public lands and does
not intend that the forestry bureau, a
part of another department shall run
the department of the interior.
"By act Of congress forest reserves
are open for mineral exploration and
exploitation. Mr.. Pinchot set aside
certain sections of forest reserves
which he called administrative sites
and rangers post. He absolutely re-
fused to allow these to be opened to
mineral exploitation. Among his rea-
sons was laudable one to the effect
that some Of the mineral sites might
have also valuable water power ad-
vantages. / maintain that the law
of congress, which throws public
land open for mineral exploitation
applies to these so-called administra-
tive sites whether or not they have
water power advantages. / do not
think that Mr.. Pinchot was acting
within the law in closing such Sec
tions of the reserves. These are the
facts of the differences between the
department Of the interior and the
forestry bureau"

Portland. Ore,-That apple grow
ers Of oregon have nothing to fear
from the danger Of overproduction Is
the statement OF Wilbur X. Newell,
president of the state Board OF Hor-
ticulture, who has recently returned
from the east. He says the industry
is not likely to be overdone and that
the demand for oregon fruit now ex-
ceeds the supply in many quarters.
While away, he visited many apple
growing districts Of the east. He
found oregon apples well establish
ed in eastern markets and said the
price paid for fruit from this state
exceeds that given for the eastern
product.
Portland will have an improved
market for the livestock OF the
northwest early in the coming month
when the big stockyards on the Pc
nnsula will be opened. 1t is said
the new facilities to be offered for
the marketing OF stock will be the
best on the Pacific coast. At the
start the yards will have capacity
OF 75 cars. or nearly 1000 head Of
cattle; 10000 head OF sheep. or
about 75 cars; and 1000 head or so
cars, Of hogs. This capacity can
easily be doubled as occasion re-
qures, The yards will be run in
connection with the new packing
plants now being built on the Pc.
