DYNAMITE NOT
FOR PRESIDENT
Reported Attempt On Life
of Taft Discredited
By Investigation.
R. R. DID IT---UNI0N
Iaborcrs Declare Southern Pacific
Took This Method to Point Finger
of Suspicion at Striking Shopmen-
Taft Returning East.

Santa Barbara, Calf, Oct IL
After an inve stigation into the find
ing of 81 sticks of dynamite under
bridge on the Southern Pacific rail-
road over which the train of Presi-
dent Taft was to have passed, 1t Is
today reported that little credence is
placed in the first published stories
to the effect that, a deliberate at
tempt had been made to assassinate
the president.
The Mexican bridge watchman,
who first discovered the dynamite,
made a statement to the effect that
he fired shot from his revolver at
the man who placed the explosive
under a pier of the bridge, and who
escaped. Labor leaders contend to-
day that the entire affair is a well
laid plot of the railroad company to
discredit the shopmen of the road
who are out on strike. Several sim
liar cases have been reported, and the
unionists declare that the railroad
company has had the dynamite pur-
posely planted and always discovered
just in time to prevent a disaster.
The bridge under which the explo-
sive was alleged to have been found
yesterday is eight hundred feet long
and located between Ell Captain and
GaViota
Sheriff Stewart, who Immediately
began an investigation, today is re-
ported to have arrived at the belief
that no attempt was deliberately
made to dynamite the presidents
tran, but that it may be possible that
an attempt was made to cripple the
railroad by destroying the bridge.

JUDGE R. S. BEAN SUSTA|NS DEMURRER IN
CASE Of VIM. CALDWELL VERSUS BYERS

tilla river. making subsequent appli-
cations for water subject to the In
dams rights.
There are many things that make
the complaint in this case incom-
plete." said Judge Bean. THE size
of the ditch, the amount of water
needed, the amount or land in ques-
ton and other important features are
not stated in the bill. There should
be complete allegations concerning all
of these matters before this import
ant question can be determined.
"Inasmuch as the title to the Indian
land is in the government OF the
United States, the United States
should be a party to this suit if it
were to be heard on its merits. Vast
sums have been expended placing
land unde~ cultivation and building
bitches from the Up,atilla river, and
many expensive improvements have
been made under the belief that fill
ings on water from the Umatilla were
legal. If all these rights are to be
made subject to the claims of the In
Gians the various phases of the ques-
ton should be brought out clearly.
But as it is the bill does not state
facts sufficient to sustain an action
and the demurrer will be sustained" :"
The Uni,ed States. through United
States Attorney John McCourt is al
ready endeavoring 90 straighten out
the Umatilla tangle in the eastern
oregon courts. Should further pro-
ceedings be begun here the govern
ment would doubtless intervene as it
has in the state court.

R. R. WOULD START
TROUBLE IN UNIONS

Los Angeles, Calf, Oct. 17.-Offi-
cials of the striking federation of
shopmen of the Hartman railroad
lines are today out with a statement
in which they declare that the officials
of the railroad have prepared and
are issuing circulars to all subordi-
nate officials of the lines, telling them
that all possible pressure must be
brought by them to bear on the mem
bers of the various crafts unions, in
order to create dssension in the
ranks of the unions, as a last re-
course left to the company to COM
bat and prevent the strikers from
winning the industrial battle that has
been waged for the past two weeks
ON the other hand. the railroad COM
pany officials declare that they are
steadily filling the places of the
strikers with other men and have nc
cause to worry over the situation
which they are finding very satisfac-
tory.

By action of United States Judge r.
S. Bean taken yesterday the demur-
rer to the complaint in the suit
brought by William Caldwell against
sustained and it constitutes a tenn
porary victory for the milling COM
pany. Whether or not it will be suf-
ficient to stop proceedings remains
to be seen. Judge ]. A. Fee is attor-
ney for the milling company, while
Mr.. Caldwell is represented by Attor-
ney d. w. Bailey.
The following story of the suit is
from last evenings Portland Jour
nal:
The suit was an off-shoot of the
litigation now going on before the
state courts and the state board of
water control in Pendleton. 1t is eX-
tremely important because the title
to water from the Umatilla river and
which is used to irrigate thousands
of acres of the finest land in eastern
oregon is involved.
Says Indians Hold Right.
Byers operates a large grist mill
with water taken from the Umatilla
on a filing date of 1872. Caldwell
claims that in 1897 he leased land
from the Umatilla Indians that car
ried with it the right to water that
Byers is using. He bases his claim
on the fact that in the treaty OF 1856
between the United States and Uma-
tilla Indians the United States appar-
antly guarantees to the Indians the
right to all of the water of the UNA
