SEATTLE, June 16.-L. f. Jordan
OF Marshheld. Oregon, has filed
charges with the department of labor
against j. Speed Smith, CHIEF Natur.
alization examiner for this district
for his alleged too active efforts
against applicants for citizenship pro
Tossing to believe in Socialist doc
trines.
Montesano Case Cited
Jordan's complaint against Smith
is the result OF d hearing recently
conducted by Smith at Montesano,
Jordan declaring in his complaint that
he preferred that his charges should
be taken up by Senator Poindexter
in preference to having them hand
led by Congressman Johnson, of
Southwestern Washington, whom, he
said, had. like Smith, to often shown
his contempt for Socialism.
Smith Receives Charges
J. Speed Smith, asked last night
If he had been notified of any charg-
es having been filed against him. said
that he had, that he had been furnish
ed with copy of a letter written
by one, l.. F. Jordan, whom he did
not know and whom he had never
heard of before, and that the com
plant was received by him late yes
terday.
Mr.. Smith said that he was MAX
ing ready to file an answer to the
complaint, as requested by Secretary
Wilson, but that beyond denying that
he had been guilty of subjectng So
cialists to any indignities he prefer
ter his answer had been filed in
Washington, D. c., except to say:
Discusses |. w. W.
81 have most carefully scrutinized
all applicants suspected of being af-
filiated with the l. w. w., and know
ing the tenets of that order, | am
free to say that it is, in my Judgment,
an un-American order and that it's
members are not entitled to be ad-
mitted to citizenship. AS for Social
lists, l have made no war upon them.
Superior Praises Smith.
A Washington telegram yesterday,
quotes Richard K Campbell, chief of
naturalization of the department of
labor, as saying:
"The department looks upon Mr.
Smith as very competent. indust-
rious and conscientious officer, and no
formal complaint against him has
been lodged with us. From time to
time we have heard reports to the
effect that complaint might be made
as a result of Mr.. Smiths part in
the OLSON naturalization case, which
arose long time ago, but Mr. Smith
did 'st what was expected and de-
handed of him at that time.
"He is in no way opposed to any
sort of organizations or beliefs, such
as the I. w. w. or socialism, in the
administration of his office, except in
such cases as where he is required
by law to take stand against the
views expressed by some of their
members when dealing with naturali-
cation matters. If any complaint is
to be made against Mr.. Smith, it
probably is an outgrowth of this case,
in which his actions We're entirely
proper"

CRAYS HARB0R
CHAUTAUQUA
An Attractive Program Is
Arranged for First Chau-
tauqua on Grays Harbor
BIG WHITE. CITY BAND
Splendid Concerts and Great
Lectures Not a Dull Mo
ment in the Week
BIG WHITE, CITY BAND

The big White City Band, Of Chi
cagO, with the accompanying Thaviu
Grand Opera Company, naturally at
tracts first attention. This number
atone will be worth the entire cost
Of the ChautauQua to the holders OF
season tickets This band has had
many notable engagements 1t was
the official band for the L Ced States
land and Exposition : low in chi
cago in 1910.
Senator Z. J. Burckett of Nebraska,
who was the youngest member of the
Senate at the time of his election
VIII come to the Chautauqua for one
lecture. He is brilliant, humorous
and convincing, and Chautauquas who
have heard him say he is without
equal as a popular lecturer.
Vocaists to Be Here
The Chicago Male Quartet will give
two concerts on the closing day OF
the ChautauQua. This company ranks
foremost among American quartets
and its work is characterised by the
splendid harmony and volume neces-
sary in singing to large audiences.
The Winona Ladies of Indiana, are
also scheduled for one day. This will
be their second tour to the coast and
many who heard them on their first
trip will go miles to hear them again
One of Americas noted lady lectur.
ers, Mrs. Belle Kearney, of the Old
South, will deliver her lecture on
"Old Days in Dixie Land" Miss
Kearney has travelled the world over
and has spoken before more large
audiences than any other living wo-
man. She will be a distinct attrac.
ton in our coming assembly.
The Georgia Jubilee Singers, with
their rich southern melodies will give
two concerts.
Great Violinist Coming
Perhaps the strongest single solo
list out of more than 20, who will
appear during the Chautauqua will be
Steckelberg, the violinist. Here is a
man you must not miss. His work
is simply superb. 1t is doubtful il
there is better violinist today than
this modest man, although many are
better known. He is a member of the
Artista Trio who appear in recital
twice during the session.
Harrell the Boston magician, is
scheduled for one performance. Ma
gic, when we'll done, is a delightful
diversion. Harrell comes west after
a long and successful career in the
east.
Take a Week OF
1t is especially urged that as many
people as possible make arrange
ments to camp on the grounds during
the week. Tents will be furnished
to all who desire them at very nom
inal rental, or parties having their
own tents may put them up on the
grounds without charge. The price OF
season tickets is reasonable, when the
quality and extent of the program is
taken into consideration. The way
to enjoy a Chautauqua session, is to
take week off, go with your family
and camp on the grounds and spend
six DAYS in recreation and enjoyment
There will be interesting attractions
for every member of the family, and
there will not be a dull moment from
start to finish. July to II, inclusive

TAX DEPENDS ON
RATES CHARGED
Secretary Lane Defines Policy
in Granting Water
Power Rights
REQUIRES FULLEST USE
Greater the Development and
Lower the Rate to Consul
mers, the Less Tax
REQUIRES FULLEST USE

WASHINGTON, June 15.-"The
lower the rate charged to consumers
by electric power companies the low
er will be the tax which such power
companies must pay to the govern
ment."
Secretary Lane, of the interior de-
partment announced this today as
the heart of the policy adopted as
to the disposition of water rights OF
the government"
Mr.. Lane has pending before him
several applications for rights to use
the public lands and the waters of
navigable streams for the develop
ment of electrical power. He is op-
posed to making use of these waters
as source of revenue to the gov
ernment, but is in favor of requir-
ing the fullest use of them for the
Benefit of the people.
Lays Down Five Conditions
After carefully considering power
project on the Pend Oreille river, in
Northern Washinfton, the secretary
has laid down five conditions as IAN
ideal standard towards which to work
in the making of the contracts be-
tween the government and the appli-
cants for the use of the power"
These conditions are:
!. The greater development of
horse power the lower the charge per
horse power to be made on the part
OF the government. This is intend
ed 10 secure the full use of the
stream.
.. The lower the rate to customers
the lower the charge on the part Of
the government
3. No charge whatever for a per
iod of five or ten years during which
the power company is finding its mar
ket.
4. Acceptance as a public utility
of the states jurisdiction over intra-
state rates and services and OF fed
eral jurisdiction over interstate rates
and service.
Monopoly Is Prohibited
Absolute prohibition of combination
or monopoly and the right OF reYo-
cation on the part of the govern
ment in the event that it is estab-
lished to the satisfaction of the sec
retary of the interior or the courts
that such combination has been made
or that prices have. been fixed by
agreement with competing plants.
ut is my purpose" said Secretary
Lane, "to follow closely these condi-
tions in the making of all future con
tracts with power companies. They
are just alike to seller and custo
mers of the power companies. They
are fair to the government, and they
will make for the conservation and
genuine development of natural re
sources now going to waste"
