washington, May 27.-The direct
charges of Delegate Wickersham, OF
Alaska, before subcommittee Of
the senate judiciary committee, that
the Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate
caused the appointment of T. R. Ly-
ons as federal district Judge, the
nomination of John Rustgard as
United States district attorney, and
Of Herbert Falkner, as United States
marshal in Alaska, IL sustained, to-
day promises to start movement in
congress for an open investigation OF
Alaskan affairs.
The investigation which is fore
shad6wed by previous developments,
would not be confinedjto any special
phase of the situation. Every polit-
ical act in which it is charged the
syndicate participated would be
probed and the probing would be
open to the public.
The officials, alleged by Wicker
sham to be syndicate appointees, will
act in the Cunningham cases, which
are pending in the territory, unless
the government interferes. They al
so would act In all cases In which
the syndicate is interested.
Judge Lyons was one of the attor-
neys who defended Edward Hasey
when Hasey was on trial for murder.
Hasey was a deputy federal marshal.
Hasey's attorneys, according to
charges before the committee. wrote
letters to Guggenheim agent at
Seattle, containing itemized bills COW
ering entertainment of witnesses at
the Hasey Trial.
Delegate Wickersham presented
the subcommittee with photograph
of letter which was signed by John
A. Carson, attorney for the Guggen-
helms, who acted with Lyon in the
defense of Hasey, who, after acquittal
on murder charge In Alaska, was
on trial for assault in Washington
The letter was addressed to Captain
d. II. Jarvis, treasurer OF the Gug-
genheim Company at Seattle. 1t pu--
ported to contain an expense account
Of M. b. Morrisey. an alleged em-
ploye of the Guggenheims. who took
care" of witnesses for the govern
ment in the Hasey case in Alaska,
and who entertained iurymen.

New Orleans, La, May 27.-The
real situation in Nicaragua, where
the Madriz and Estrada soldiers are
struggling for the control of Blue
fields, is in doubt today. Messages
received here from Bluefelds say
that revolutionary leader Estrada
was victorious in the fighting around
Bluefelds and that Madriz has been
forced to retreat suffering a heavy
loss. Other dispatches from other
points declare Madriz was success
full, that the Estrada customs house
on the bluffs overlooking Bluefields,
has been captured and that the
storming of the city itself may fol-
low.
The first messages were sent from
Bluefelds, where Estrada controls
the wireless station. The other

Curtiss Postpones FIlght.

New York, May 27.-Continued
bad weather today caused another
postponement of Aviator Glenn Cur
tiss' plan to attempt and aeroplane
flight from Albany to this city. Cur
tiss recently announced his intention
OF attempting to win the New York
Worlds $4,000 prize for a success

between Albany and New York
He planned to leave Albany yes
terday morning at o'clock but bad
weather interfered. He then decid
ed to leave early today but again
was prevented. Curtiss said that If
the weather cleared he would start
this afternoon in his biplane

messages were sent from stations
controlled by the Madfz forces.
Efforts are being made to get in
communication with the Paducah to
learn the true state of affairs at
Bluefields.
The Central American colony
here, deeply interested in the Near
guam situation, is at sea over the af-
fairs, and private cable messages
throw little light on the true situa.
tion. These messages confirm little
beyond the fact that a desperate bat
tie has been in progress. Some mes
sages from Bluefelds declare Estra-
da victor. Others say the outcome Is
doubtful, while messages via Mana
qua tell of victory for the arms of
Madriz.
Traders who have large central
American connections, are inclined
to believe the Bluefelds messages
are the most authentic. They de-
clare that if the Madriz forces had
been victorious they would have en-
deavored at once to secure control
of the wireless station and flash the
news of victory from Bhefields.
This, they declare, would have made
the news appear more authentic
than any other sort of dispatch and
would have hastened the thing Ma
driz is most anxious to secure-the
recognition of his government by
foreign powers.
They believe if Madriz captured
the customs house, as is alleged In
the Managua dispatches, he would
have had little dificulty in seizing
the wireless station and flashing the
news of his victory from Bluefelds.

interior, is resoluteness to resist ag.
gression, insidious or otherwise.
He declared that Ballinger exhibited
a lack of this quality.
In the spring of 1907, he said,
Ballinger agreed with Secretary
Garfield that thorough investigation
of the coal claims should be made
He went to the Seattle land office,
Brandeis continued, far away from
Washington, where the pressure of
the claimants undoubtedly was
great.
"Ballinger yields to the claimants
and the investigation is stopped, :"
the attorney declared.
I'm December, Ballinger is IN
Washington and to him there comes
L. R. CLAWS and urges the resump-
ton of the investigation. Now the
claimants are 5000 miles away.
Ballinger YIELDS to CLAWS. But
scarcely had CLAWS left Washington
when Ex-Governor Moore, the temp
tor, appears. Now CLAWS is three
thousand miles away and the Gun
ningham claims are clear-listed.
"A few weeks later CLAWS pro-
tests by telegraph. Ballinger, free
from the pressure Of the presence of
both Moore and CLAWS, bears IN
mind the resistless zeal of CLAWS.
The clear-listing order is immediate
ly suspended"
Brandeis declared that Ballinger
throughout his career exhibited the
tendency to run to cover"
Would anyone think of clubbing
him 'Stonewall Ballinger?'" the at
torney inquired.
He read from Ballinger's testi-
mony before the committee declar-
ing the secretary side-stepped in his
reference to the Lawler memoran-
dunn.
The attorney paid a high tribute
to the zeal of CLAWS and Steno-
grapher Frederick M. Kerby, who
made public the details of the franz
ing of the Lawler memorandum.
Brandeis declared that CLAWS and
Kerby did their duty to the Amerl-
can people and were not traitors,
though Ballinger and Land Commits
sioner bennett regarded them as
such, and Attorney-General Wicker.

mania" and" said Brandeis, 80

sensus of opinion expressed among
them was that it will result in much
good, not alone for the city of Me-
Minnville, but for the Willamette
valley as a whole. The tour Itself
has brought them to a greater reali-
cation of the marvellous resources Of
the Willamette-its vast possibilities
for development, and acquainted
them with the progress which is be-
ing made and the development ami
progress planned and under con-
temptation. The visit to the var
ious cities has resulted in the estab-
lishment between the citizens enter
ing into their population and those
entering into the population of Nc
Minnville a stronger feeling Of cor
diality and friendship than ever be-
fore, and in addition has made them
acquainted with the need of the var
ious communities. and rendered them
better fitted to act intelligently in
the future in all movements which
have for their object the prosperity
and welfare OF the Willamette VAL
ley and its cities.

CAN'T BUILD SHIPS CHEAPLY
Admiral Watt Saws Private Yards viii
Have To Construct Our BattIscrafi

The Government of the United
States will never build another war
vessel in a Government yard, but
will turn over all its business to pri-
vate contractors if the earnest recon-
mendation made yesterday at Wash
ington by Admiral Richard Watt,
chief constructor of the navy, before
the House Committee on Naval
Affairs.
Private yards can builc the yes
sells at saving of at least 25 per
cent, the chief constructor declared,
despite the fact that the eight hour
law provision affecting work on Gov
eminent vessels under construction
in private yards has increased the
cost Of such work TO private contrac-
tors 81 per cent.
Chief Constructor Watt cited the
case of the battleship New York,
for which bids were recently solicit
ed. The Newport News Shipbuild-
ing Company offered to build the YES
sci for 100000. The construction
corps of the navy estimated it would
cost at least $4,000 to build the
ship in the Brooklyn navy yard.
