therefore, punishable at any time. The
defendants had contended that the acts
charged against them were committed
eight years ago. and that the statute
OF limitations did apply.
In the demurrer it was asserted that
the government officials had charge Of
the sale OF the $50 lots in the Muskogee
TOWNSHIP and could sell or transfer
them TO anyone at any price,
Judge Marshall, in his opinion, con-
tended that the scheme of the al
legged conspirators tended to practice
a fraud on the government He said
the laws of the United States provided
that all Indian land transactions must
be approved by the secretary of the
interior. and that if an official under
took TO act without this authority MS
act would not be legal.
The demurrer also took exception to
the condition of the lots. Judge Mar
shall said.
In my opinion the fraudulent char
acter of the conspiracy depends upon
the condition of the lots, as to whether
they were improved or not improved.

NOT VIOLATIONS Of
OPEN DOOR POLICY
Secretary Knox Makes State
ment Regarding the China
Japan Treaties.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Recent trea ties
entered into by China and Japan as to
the operation Of coal mines along the
South Manchurian railway and the An
tung- Mukden railway do not create
mOnOpOlies, and, hence, are not viola
tions of the "open door," or the equal
opportunities principles, to the Observ-
ance of which all leading powers are
pledged.
This is the conclusion reached by the
state department after a long and care
full investigation of the questions in
volved.
The department today issued the fol-
lowing statement:
In view of the widespread publicity
of the statement that the recent Chi
nese-Japanese agreement relating to
Manchuria created for Chinese and
Japanese subjects a monopoly to carry
on mining operations along the South
Manchurian railway, and Antung- Muk-
den railway. which would exclude
Americans from an extensive field of
industrial enterprise, inquiry has been
made of the two signatory powers, and
official assurance has been received
from each to the effect that no such ex-
elusive claim to mining rights was in
tended Dy the agreement, ana tnaI. III
minerals are found by Americans and
others within the designated territories,
no objection will be made to their work
ing mines under concessions granted by
China-the whole scope and purpose of
the agreement being that any opera
ton by Chinese and Japanese subjects
of the mines within the territory mem
toned should be joint as between them
selves
The above assurance confirms the
conclusion already reached by the de-
partment as a result of it's careful study
of the agreement in the light of related
and contextual evidence"

PROTECTION FOR THIEVES
Portland, Ore, Headquarters for All
Glasses of Rascals, According
to Police Judge.

Portland, Ore, Nov. f5.-Declaring from
the bench in open court that he had ir-
REPUTABLE evidence that an organized gang
of criminals, embracing everything from
sneak thieves to bunkO men, was operat-
ing in Portland under the protection of
certain persons" who he intlmated were
members of the police detective bureau,
and announcing his intention of laying the
matter before the grand jury for imme-
date investigation, Police Judge Frank
s. Bennett created a sensation in the
municipal court today. The magistrate
went so far as to state that he would
be prepared to supply the names and ad-
dresses of the men who are said to be
responsible for the immunity from ar
rest accorded the criminals.
The utterances of Judge Bennett were
made upon the conclusion of the case of
Frank Watson, arrested for having swim
died Emory Buren,, Nevada miner, out
of 800 I'm a fake racing game. Owing
to the alleged action Of Watson's con-
federates in spiriting Buren, out of the
state, the city decided to prosecute a
vagrancy charge filed against the pris-
oner at the time of his arrest as an in
dictment for felony could hardly be OBJ
tanned without the testimony of the com
planning witness.
Judge Bennett declared that the gang
of thieves and confidence men now in
Portland had operated at Seattle during
the exposition period and cleaned up"
$4,000 through various methods known
to their class.

Washington, Nov. 15.-The court

by counsel for Samuel GOmpers, John
Mitchell and Frank Morrison, SEN
fenced to jail for contempt, for stay
in the issuance of the mandate to the

Toronto. Ont, Nov. 15.-Just as the con-
VentiOn Of the American Federation OF
Labor was about to adjourn for the DAY
a telegram was received from Washing
ton announcing that the stay asked by
the attorneys for President GOmpers, vice
President Mitchell and Secretary MOrrl-
son in the proceedings against them Tor
contempt of court, had been denied by
the court of appeals of the District or
Columbia
President Gompers plainly was sur
prised, and as he read the message TO
the convention, delegates sat as though
dazed.
THAT means that the resources of the
lawyers have been exhausted. doesn't it?'
asked one of the delegates.

replied President Gompers. Then, as ne
read the message stating the mandate

of himself and his fellow ofilcers pc
trayed the anxiety under which they were

A telegram signed by the three defend

to avoid forfeiting their bonds, which
amount to $1,000, and stating that they
would like to remain in Toronto until the

The suggestion that the convention be
adjourned to Washington in the event of
the departure Of GOmpers, Mitchell and
Morrison was taken seriously by many
delegates, and it was said resolution to
that effect might be prepared. Pending
a reply from Washington. the executive
council held a long session tonight, at
which plans for meeting the situation
which cOnfrOnts the three labor leaders,

while l was assistant secretary of the
treasury that the investigation of the
sugar trust was made and the trial
held which resulted in the conviction
Of the company in court. During all
the time l held that office there never
was, to my knowledge, a single effort
made to influence my judgment in any
way by. the sugar trust.
so far as I know, the first specific
information in regard to fraud was in
September, 1907, when a letter came
from New York man stating that
he could pr.re that the government was
being swindled. l at once wrote to
him that the department would be
glad To do anything in its power t.
see that such a condition of affairs as
you describe is stopped at once, and if
there is guilt, anywhere along the line
to see that there is proper punish
ment
The gentleman who sent the letter
came to the department later and gave
Information which was at once sent
to the special officers at New York for
investigation.
There is one thing to keep in mind
in order to give proper weight to the
statements that have been made. Mr..
Parr is now and has been for some time
a claimant for a share of the two mil
lion dollars turned over to the depart
ment by the sugar trust. A rule which
I made as assistant secretary, and which
l rigidly enforced, stood between him
and the money reward he desires for
his services as a government agent.
Mr.. Parr knows that, should the
order be rescinded in this particular
case. he would still be compelled to
prove that his was the original infor-

MINE WORKERS SEND AID

Cherry, H., Nov. 15.-The 800 OF
more miners entombed in the st. Paul
mine by last Saturdays disaster are
dead Some of the bodies lie buried
beneath thousands of tons of earth,
which have caved in upon them, and
it is doubtful if many ever can be
recovered.
This was the opinion expressed to-
night when attempts at rescue work,
carried on night and day for forty
eight hours, were temporarily aban-
doned. Renewed fires in the mine
made further desoents by reseuers
impossible.
Fans employed in an effort to carry
fresh air to the imprisoned men served
only to enliven some sparks which sprang
into a flame. Soon the heat and smoke
became so dense il was necessary to
again seal up the mouth of the hosting
shaft, and tonight men down there, what
ever their condition. are locked in as
effectively as in "A dungeon.
Whether the bodies viii be taken out
tomorrow depends upon the condition OF
the internal fire 1t is possible that
steam and chemicals producing a car
homie acid gas will be forced through
pipes 20 the bottom Of the mine tOmor-
row. These will have tendency TO
choke out the flames.
II was learned that 300 collins have
been ordered--half of them 10 arrive to-
morrow and half the following day.

power of resuscitation win be brought

today. Before the fire broke out again
rescuers descended four times. Then the
TumOr circulated quickly through the
crowds that the men below ground had
f been reached. and that the reason they
were not brought up Immediately was
that they were exhausted by lack of food
and smoke.
They're alive: they're alive5s' cried
hopeful mothers and wives. They'll be
brought up pretty soon
But the truth was far different. The
rescuers did on one occasion go down
800 feet to the bottom of the hosting
shaft Then, cropping their way with cleo
trio lamps and kept alive by oxygen
stored III their helmets, they penetrated
$50 feet into the bottom gallery. But
none Of the miners. either dead or alive,
was found.
s'Hey. are you thereq'' cried the res
Cuers cheerily, but nothing was heard in
response.
Fire Broke Out Again.
II was cOnjectuTed that the miners had
crawled for safety into recesses most re
mote from the fire, but to these parts
rescuers were unable to go without re
ascending. Before they could again de
scend the fire had broken out. Gradually
the crowd about the mouth of the shaft
began to thin as hope seemed to wane.
