the Egg Harbor life saving crew put
out to the vessel.
Reports that a big steamer was in dis
tress off Little Egg Harbor Inlet, mile
from tho spot where the schooner
Wishart stranded and went to pieces
yesterday, created widest excitement
here this morning. The rumor follow
ed shrill. whistles which had been heard
coming from the sea for the greater
part of the night.
A big barge was sighted from the
government station ut Little Egg Har-
Dor early today. Her tunnels were
missing, and her close proximity to
the dangerous shoals caused the life
savers 10 hastily lannch their surfboat,
despite the heavy sea, and put out in
her direction. When they had cover.
ed half the distance the supposed
steamer pulled away and proceeded up
the coast. They reported the ship to
be steamer converted into barge.
Although they did not approach near
enough to distinguish the crafts name,
they discovered she had merely been
anchored temporarily, probably for
some minor repairs.

THE IMPRESSION PREVAILS
That If Colonel Is As Irate As He Has Been Report ed, He Is Laboring Un- der a Misapprehension of Facts

Beverly Aug. 19.-No disposition has been shown here yet to make either an informal or an official reply to stories that have come recently from oyster Bay telling of a serious break between President Taft and Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. The president and Secretary Norton absolutely refuse to discuss the matter
 There is general belief in Beverly, however. that Colonel Roosevelt. if he has been correctly reported. is labor ing under an entire misapprehenslon and a misunderstanding of facts Thera is also a feeling here that the better understanding should be had soon. This may be stated upon the fact that Lloyd C. Griscom, president of the New York republican county committee, is com ing to Beverly next week. It is also said that William Loeb, Jr. will make an early visit to the summer capital
 Representative Nicholas -Longworth who has been in close relationship with the president during the past two weeks. will see the Colonel aJ Oyster Bay this week.

NEGRO BUSINESS MEN
 HEAR THE COLONEL AT A MEETING OF THE NEW
 YORK LEAGUE. They 'straisntway Nominate Him for
 Third Term.

New York, Aug 19.-Colonel Roose- welt addressed the Negro Business Mems league today. Colonel Roosevelt said: "The white man of the south is the vital man to have sympathy with the negro. When your neighbor re- spects you ycu have won your battle. The white man of the north does his worst work in interfering between the two peoples of the south, and his best work when he improves their relstion- ship
 'I would not stir up anger over the injustice with which good colored men are treated. but I feel that the really substantial way to conquer injustice is to train your people so that the white man will willingly realize in his colored neighbor a desirable neighbor Every down at -the-hee ramshackle negro cabin is not only bad for the people the race. A man who lives a ne'er- lowell life of idleness, is not only do- ing i'll to himself but his people be- lieve in this, as I wrote five years ago when president You stimulate among your people the principles of business and enterprise. That is all right, too You should build a firm foundation be- fore you can erect a superstructure" |"
 After the speech the league voted to indorse Roosevelt for a third term for president

One of Functions of AtlOr.
 ney M'hurray TRIBAL ACTS SANCTIONED
By His Firm Were Not Sub mitted to President For His Approval Testimony Concerning Contracts Not Previously Heard of

Sulphur, Okla, August 19.-It was brought out in the testimony of J. F. McMurray before the congressional committee today that he held as many as a haf dozen contracts with the Indians for legal services, all covering the same period of time. Me Murray testified that for his general service he had two contracts with the Chickshaws of about $5.O0O a year each; two with the Choctaws. S GOO year each; another contract for special services at a fee of $15,- 500. only 5000 of which was paid.
 His yearly expense and allowance was S2,70O under one contract, and under the others, expenses amounted to S1SOOO All this money was In addition to $75O,OOO allowed his law firm in the citizenship cases and were in addition to contracts by which he now seeks to obtain ten per cent or $3.0OO.00O as a eontin gent fee on the sale of $30. 900. 600 worth of asphalt and coal lands.
 How is it that while having SD many contracts to represent the In dians generally on regular salaries. you got special contracts on con tingent fee basis every time any spe- ciaI case bobbed up?" asked Rep resentative F. w. Saunders of Vir- einia a member of the committee. Isn't it strange that the Indians had to sign SO many contracts in order to get their affairs strengthened out when the government is supposed to look after a great part of the work ,?
 McMurray answered that he has been identified with the Indians so many years that they had come to look to hm to take care of their legal affairs. He said that hardly an act had been passed by their tribal councils without the sanction of his firm.
 Many expense allowances, the wit ness said. had been collected by him without the Knowledge of the depart ment of the interior. He also said that many of the acts passed by the tribal legislature were not submitted to the president as was asserted and was required
 Asked by Representative Miller of Minnesota whether his work had not tended to lead the Indians away from the close relationship with the government, McMurray said he had always done his utmost to bring the Indians and the government together.
 It was also shown that the In dians had employed other attorneys beside McMurray. each tribe paying s5yO0O a year and one of the tribes. Sl2.0O0 year for special counsel. How much money, in the aggregate. the Indians had pledged for attor- ney's fees has not been determined by the committee. McMurray will be questioned further tomorrow.

MORE SOLDIERS CALLED
 TO FIGHT FOREST FIRES
WHICH ARE SPREADING IN
 SOUTHERN OREGON.
A Hint That They Have Been
 Started By Ousted Settlers.

Portland. August 19.-Five hun dred more troops have been called by the forestry service to fight the forest fires which are spreading in Southern Oregon. The soldiers will be divided between the fires now ravaging in Crater Lake national for est where the line of fire extends eigh- teen miles. and another fire at Buck Lake, thirty y-fiye east of Ashland. where. famed by the wind. the flames have endangered the lives and property Of a number of settlers. Here the roar of flames is heard for miles, and the embers carried by the gale, have set new fires a mile in advance of the parent flames.
 According to information received from Medford. a bitter feeling that has prevailed between a number of settlers and forest rangers has a bearing upon the frequency of new fires. Before the creation of the re- serve. the settlers occupied the un- surveyed lands, but the forestry service decided that they were more valuable for timber than for agri- cultural purposes.
 Several forest rangers are reported to be hemmed in by the fires ir the midst of the Crater Lake fire district are several prominent Port land people. including ex-United States Senator c. w. Fulton and wife. and Whitney L. Boyce and wife

OR HE WILL BE REMOVED
Death Removed Supporter and Left His Friends On Normal School Board In the Minority By a Single Vote

Sacramento. Calif., Aug 19-If pr. c. C. Vanliew, president of the Chico State Normal School, does not resign. he win be removed and a new head appointed to the institution when the
 board meets next Friday This was decided at meeting of the Normal school board trustees in the office of Governor Gillett this afternoon, when the testimony in the recent hearing
 brought about by the charges of Miss Ada Clark, of Zamora, Yolo county. that Vanliew had tried to hug her in his office. and others charging mprofessionaI conduct. was reviewed.
 Not only was the Clark case taken up, but Governor Gillett presented other charges in which Vanliews character was assaiIed. This action follows closely upon the acquittal on July 2S last of Vanliew on five charges mentioned by Governor Gil lett when he called for an investiga- ton.
 Vanliew was acquitted by votes of Trustees Clifford Coggins. E. A. War ren and J. F. Campbell. Florence J. O'Brien and Edward Hyatt voted to sustain the charges. On the death of Trustee Warren. one of Vanlisw's supporters. shortly after the acquittal the Governor appointed Frank NJ. Rutherford of Truckee to fill the va cancy. and his first appearance at a meeting of the board was today. It was given out that the meeting was for the purpose of having Rutherford meet his associates
 While there was no definite action taken and the trustees did not organ ize for the transaction of business. there was a lively session for more than an hour and a half. The discus- sion waxed warm and all the trustees present participated.
 Trustee Coggins was shown where Yanliew stood as far as the other members of the board were concerned, and that this evidently was the req son for calling the meeting COggins was given to understand that if Van liew did not resign he would be re- moved, and as Coggins is a stanch friend Of Vanliew and has been di- recting the presidents movements in the controversy it looks as though he will have to have talk with Vanliew in which the question of resignation will be the chief topic
