THE U0RS1SG OREGONIAN. gATUBDAY, AUlilTfeT 15, 11HJ3. ' M TRUST Schwab Heads a Tailor ing Concern. PORTLAND TO BE INVADED Stores Will Be Established in Every Large City. HEW YORK AS FIRST FIELD Seven. Honien "Will Be Opened There at Once Combine "Will Also Bay "Woolen. Mills la All Parts. NEW YORK, Aug, 14.-SpecIal.) The latest trust is the tailoring trust, and Charles M. Schwab, the steol king, Is be ihind it. The facts came out today, -when P. A. Schwab, an uncle of the ex-presl-dent of the steel trust, and David J. "Welch, for many years right-hand man of the big: -woolen mill concern, began to make contracts on a mammoth scale. Both these men have spent many years in this line of business and are experts. Charles M. Schwab Is known to have millions Invested In several enterprises outside of the steel trust, but it was with great surprise It was learned he is to supply the enormous capital to operate the gigantic combination in the tailoring business now in process of formation. The trust, under the name of the United Tailors, will begin operations August 22 in New York City, opening seven stores simultaneously. These will be Increased from day to day until 100 retail branches are established in Greater New York, "where there are already 12,000 tailors. Branches will be immediately establish ed in large cities throughout the country and extended as quickly as possible to every city in the Union of 20.000 inhabit ants. Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles are-the first of the Coast cities to be Invaded. In two years' time the trust expects to have a vast chain of branches in working or der, and will then be giving employment to nearly 500,000 men. A great central school will be establish cd in New York at which cutters, chop pers, trimmers and salesmen will be edu cated and then sont out through the coun try to branches where they may be need ed Tho trust will, as soon as possible, own its own mills, both here and abroad. At -present, it has secured the output of one mill In Massachusetts, and is now ne gotiating for more. The formation of this immense com bination was proposed to Schwab by his uncle and Welch over a year ago. At that time he decided his work in connection with the steel trust was too heavy to per mit him to go into the details of any con cern with such huge plans. When he had determined to resign the presidency of the fteel corporation, ho again took up the subject of the tailoring trust. He has been studying facts and figures for several months, and on the day he re signed the presidency of the billion-dollar corporation he accepted the responsibility and hard work attached to this new com bination. The majority of the details will be worked out by Schwab himself at his offices at 71 Broadway, where he has an entire floor. The amount of the capitaliza tion of the trust Is not made public, but It is believed it will be a close corpora tion. Schwab could not be seen today, but P. A. Schwab and Mr. Welch verified the facts as here given. Embexilement Clones Another Brink. DUL.TITH, Minn.. Aug. 11.

Aug. 14.Judge Ray. la the United States Circuit Court today, handed down an opinion sustaining the constitutionality of the Foraker act. wh:;h provided a new revenue tax on merchandise brought Into the United States from Porto Rico, after the island ceased to bo a foreign country. Today's decision commenced against It by the su gar importing firm of Las cell es & Com pany, of New York. Tho firm Imported a cargo of sugar from Porto Rico on June 12, 1SS9, which was placed on Its arrival in a bonded wnrthouse. lhe entry was liquidated No vtmber 14, 1S93. under the existing Ding ley tariff act. On June 6 the entry was reilQuidated, and duties reassessed under the Foraker act. The firm protested against tho imposition of any and all du ties. Finally, under protest 52500 duty was paid and suit for Its recovery instituted. Tho Government demurred, holding that the goods were dutiable v under the so- sailed Foraker act. and Judge Ray sus tained the demurrer. The real question at issue, and one not previously raised, but was that the por tion of the Foraker act which provided for the assessing of merchandise at bond ed warehouses at the time the new law went Into effect.

The Board of Pardons recommended com mutation of his sentence, but Governor Heard disregarded the recommendation. CURE FOR MOB LAW. Judge Loree Holds It Lies in Implicit Obedience to Statates. CHAUTAUQUA, nT Y.. Aug. 14. The discussion of mob law and lynching was continued here today by Chief Jus tice Loree, of Delaware. His subject was "Relation of the Law to the Mani festation of the Mob Spirit." Justice Loree summarized the effect of mob law by its brutalized individual man and Increased crime. Continuing he said: "What la the remedy? Vht Is the cure for mobs? Most emphatically we say the remedy Is not in hasty and feverish ac tion of courts of justice against the criminal whose offense Is the exciting cause. "Law has its highest function in throw ing its shield of protection before the Igno rant, the weak and the helpless and was especially designed as a barrier against temporary madness. The more brutal the crime, the more degraded and igno Tant the criminal the more widespread and tense the public rage, the more im perative it Is that courts of Justice should secure calm and Just hearing and that the guilt of the accused be established; other wise Innocent men may be punished for crime they did not commit; as in a re cent lynching of a negro In the South where it was found after bis death that he had not been within 20 miles of the scene of the outrage. "When mob spirit rules, courts of Jus tice should be unyielding In their stand for fair dealing, otherwise they simply become the mob and executers of ven geance and not of Jus'tice. ' "The Judges of Delaware have no apolo gy to make for not listening to sugges tions of mob vengeance ln,the case of George White. r "One cure for mob law unquestionably Is the fearlessness of the accused by bis keeper. "Outside of violence, the remedy In my judgment, is that the people shall be taught In season and out of season that our safety as a people lies in implicit obedience to the law. This should be taught In our public schools; by the press; by the pulpit and on the forum. "Anarchy lurks under the pleading garb of liberty and the assassin clothes him self as a defender of human rights. Law lessness is our danger. Reverence of the law and obedience to her mandates is our safety. A strong masterful sentiment of such obedience to law is a sure cure for mobs. "I believe with United States Judtre David Brewer, that there is going to be a reaction against the atrocious crime with which the papers have been filled. The fact that the people are now interesting themselves In the discussion of the m-ob- lem makes it manifest that there is a tendency toward a change. I expect it win come soon." Colored "Women Indorse President. NEW HAVEN. Conn.. Ausr. 14. Follow ing the discussion of negro lynching at the convention of the Northeastern Feder ation of women's Clubs (colored) tho delegates today adopted a resolution to be forwarded to President Roosevelt, express ing tho federation's crateful Arm r Avia tion of his impartial dealing with all questions pertaining to the protection of every race. CROWDS CHEER VICTOR. Men and Women Consregrnte Where Bulletins Are Received. In Portland InteresMn the big fight was dull until vfisterdav nf tern Ann. nnA tmm then until the pugilists stepped Into the ring me oetung was brisk. Admirers of "Gentleman Jim." pugilist, sometimes, and actor always, recalled the tateiui night in New Orleans, when, met aphorically speaking, the Callfornlan David Blew Boston's Goliath. "Jim hasn't been drunk since," said the faithful. "Jeffries has." And sn fhv sallied forth to bet with the cold-blooded and uncnthuslastic people, who remem bered only two things that no ex -champion has ever retrained his lost lantvla and, even if it were different, that Jef- rnes naa &o pounds more solid meat on his frame than Corbctt. "Could a man who u-nlr)il 11 nnunrt asked these fish-blooded gentlemen, "pos- siDiy hck a iM-pound man?" Echo invariably answered, "No," and the question followed in logical sequence. "WelL whv should Corbctt. who vMfIh ISO pounds, have any change against Jef- ines, wno weighs 230? ' No satisfactory solution belnir fnrf honm- lng, the cold-blooded gentlemen proceed- ea to mane money out of the enthusiasts. Early in the evening great crowds gath ered around the various places where it had been announced the returns of the fight would be received by rounds. The Evening Telegram flashed the glad and sorry tidings from a stcreopticon on the corner of Sixth and AirW tt Down at the Portland Club a crowd which jammed the rooms to the doors listened silently as a man with a megaphone told of tho contest's progress. At this resort most of the heavy betters were congrc-gated.-and as each bulletin had a finan cial interest to the majority of the audi ence, a deep silence reigned while the announcements were being made. At Traccy & Denny's place a crowd of the choicest spirits gathered early in the evening, and at this spot Jeffries -victory was marked by much rejoicing. One remarkable feature of the throngs which gathered on the streets at the va rious points of announcement was tho great number of women who followed tho figut with breathless interest, and cheered more quietly, but Just as earnestly as their male escorts.

Later he served as Surveyor of Customs and Sec retary of the State Harbor Commission, which place he resigned to become presi dent of the Contra Costa Water Company. He was widely known through his active Interest in politics, though he never held an elective office. the expenditure of an additional $2500 if required. The proposition of the com mittee on laws to have published annual ly, by local unions, statistics relative to the population, scales of prices, hours of labor, eta, was adapted. Another Import ant proposition adopted permits subord inate unions to Incorporate in exceptional cases. Los Angeles Times Case Taken Up. After recess. President Lynch called up the Los Angeles case. The committee In charge of the matter made a report, sub mitting two plans. One provides that an appropriation for an assessment of five cents a member a month for a period of one year be submitted to a special refer endum, the money to be paid to the sec retary and treasurer of the International Typographical Union, and to be used In assisting Los Angeles Union No. 1". The other provided that in case of the failure of the atoptlon of the first plan that the executive council should refer the refer endum proposal for an assessment of five cents per capita a month for one year, the money to be paid to the secretary and treasurer, and by him paid to the Los Angeles strike committee, as they may de cide. Otis' Side of Conaroversy. Delegate Hays of Los Angeles, verbally reported In detail that the Los Angeles union had done everything It could dur ing the past year. Mr. Hays first read a statement by General Otis, general mana ger of the Los Angeles Times, in which the General said among other things, that the Times was, by choice, a fraternity office, and not a union office; and that the rates paid were higher than rates paid for like sen-Ices In local union offices; that there were no complaints from workmen as to wages, hours or treatment; and thai the former union force was not locked out, but that it walked out. "We are clearly within our require ments." acWs General Otis' statement, "conducting our business lawfully In our own way, and under the broad constitu tional guarantees. We stand now where we have stood for years, refusing to be boycotted. We stand for liberty, law and industrial freedom. We have no Intention of surrendering." Steps Taken by the Union. Delegate Hays then recounted the steps taken by the local union in this contest, arid gave his opinion as to the success of this fight, at the same time expressing hope of success. He said-they had once heard that Mr. Otis was to be appointed Secretary of War. A petition, which he said bore 11.000 signatures, was forwarded to President Roosevelt, opposing the ap pointment. He asserted that many clerks were forced to sign the counter-petition of the Employers' Association commending General Otis to the President as a fit ap pointee. He also charged that the police of Los Angeles had interfered during the strikes without provocation, and he had been as saulted by the police without cause. The vital point with the Union, he said, was to win the boycott against a big department store which was advertising in the Times. He declared the store was not doing one half the business It had done. He was louaiy applauded when he conclu3ed. and was followed by other rt?legates who spoke vigorously. The report of the com mittee was adopted by a unanimous vote. Spokane and Seattle Cases. The report at the Committee of Arbitra tion follows: "In the famous Spokane and Seattle cases, in which President Lynch is charged by Commissioner Driscoll with xt violation of the arbitration agreement, we find, after careful consideration of all evidence adduced: "That the publishers precipitated the trouble by a tCsplay of bad faith in the outset. We believe the arbitration agree ment was promulgated by honorable men who were unable, at Its Inception, to see the loopholes through which an unfair publisher or union might take advantage of it. We believe that the apparant bad faith of the above-mentioned publishers nullified the arbitration agreement, as applied to them, and Justified President Lynch and the Executive Council to take the,course they did. "Commissioner Driscoll and President Lynch agree, and so does your committee, that the whole trouble arises over the lack of a coos of procedure which shall define how any question Is to be arbitrated. We hold this code should be fixed only by the parties who conceived and promulgated the original arbitration agreement. "We submit that this agreement was ef fected without arbitration in its popular sense, and now that It has been discovered that the agreement Is ineffective without a code of procedure, we recommend that If the agreement Is to live, its acknowl edged shortcomings shall be remedied as above set forth. Arbitration Agreement Interpreted. "We do not believe the arbitration agree ment contemplated the arbitration of questions of the International Typograph- H ical Union, but should be confined only to questions over and beyond wage scales, the new one proposed by the dis satisfied parties. International Ty pographical Union law in existence at the Inception of the arbitra tion agreement can not be arbitrated for the reason that by referendum vote alone can It bo receded from or altered. The constitution and by-laws, like those of the United States Government, represent what the members of this union believe to be principles that can not be arbitrated, and their arbitration was not contempla ted. They are necessary to the life of the organization and must be maintained. "Commissioner Driscoll proposes to ar bitrate with our president the quesMon pending in Spokane and Seattle, and to leave it to any man that they may agree on. For reasons adopted, our committee Is of the opinion that this cannot be done. The publishers that demand the arbitra tion of matters prohibited by our law, and therein violate the agreement, putting themselves beyond the pale of arbitration. We assert that we believe In arbitration, but arbitration Is only possible where parties to a dispute approach the question In a fair manner. "We recommend that the convention In dorse President Lynch and the Executive Council in the course they pursued, believ ing it was the only way open when the discovery was made that the publishers were not living up to the spirit of the contract." Lynch Replies to Driscoll. President Lynch at this point answered the charge made by Commissioner Dris coll, that he and the Executive Council violated their agreement in connection with the case. He was loudly cheered when he finished. A motion to conslcter the report In exec utive session was voted down. After spirited addresses by a number of the delegates, the recommendation was adopt ed by a rising vote. The Womans Auxil iary took up the fight of the Typograph ical Union against the Los Angeles Times, and after much discussion, decided to ask advertisers In that paper to withdraw their patronage. After voting to hold the next annual meeting in St. Louis In ISM, the" following officers were elected: President, Mrs. F. L. Kennedy, Omaha; Secretary. Mrs. Edward DunnelL Cincin nati; First Vice-President, Miss Laura Gordon. Washington. At the evening session President Lynch denounced as false and inspired certain published reports that the convention had referred Commissioner Driscoll's address arid President Lynch's reply to the exec utive council to avert impeachment of Lynch. The convention, by vote, de nounced the report as untrue, and in structed the arbitration committee to de jnand a retraction and correction. The convention adopted the new trade agreement of the I. T. U.. the Interna tional Pressmen's Union and the Inter national Brotherhood of Bookbinders. The proposal to appoint a committee to confer tilth the Associated Press Oper ators and request them to become mem bers of the I. T. U. was unfavorably re ported, and the report was adopted. The convention adopted the proposal to organ ise newspaper writers, and authorized the expenditure of the necessary funds there for. The death benefit was increased to 570. Portland JCaa Honored.

General Commanding the Army," as the title Is now "Lieutenant-General and Chief of Stair." OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Aug. 11 Beginning tomorrow, a complete and momentous change will be made In the affairs of the War Depart ment. The Commanding General Is no more, and powers that he was supposed to have, and all of the powers that have been gathered-into the Adjutant-General's office in the last Ave years, have passed to the Chief of Staff. Secretary Root has accomplished his great desire. In elimi nating a commanding General, who Is not in harmony with tho Administration, and substituting a Chief of Staff, who wHl carry out the orders and instructions of the President and the Secretary of War, and when he does not, is subject to re moval. As long as the Lleutenant-General can do the work of the Chief of Staff he will probably bo retained In that position, but In other cases a younger offlccr, either one of the Major or Brigadier-Generals, will be selected, if it seems desirable to tho Secretary of War. The change is very important, as it practically makes the Secretary of War the commander of the forces under the President, and brings the military more directly under tho civil control than It theoretically has been heretofore. Friction AlTvnys Present. No commanding General, neither Sher man, Sheridan, Schofleld or Miles, was In harmony with the civil authorities. Each of these officers felt that his position as commanding General of the Army should have given him authority over the Army, while as a matter of fact he had none. A company of Infantry or troop of cavalry could not be moved by order of the com manding General, unless It received the sanction of the Secretary of War. No other order that a commanding General issued could be executed without the Sec retary of War approved it. Sherman left Washington and took up his residence at St. Louis, because ho was not allowed to exercise what ho thought were the privileges of hi3 commanding rank. Sheridan and Secretary Lincoln, for a long time fast friends, very nearly quarreled over the same question of pre rogatives of the Secretary and the author ity of the commanding General. Scho fleld and Endlcott fell out over the same proposition, and Schofleld tried to induce Proctor to give him full sway over the Army, and again when Lamont was Sec retary he made the same attempt, and both times the Secretary- continued to hold all his privileges as the manager of the military establishment, under direc tion of the President Miles disagreed with Lamont, with Alger and with Root on the same grounds, and disagreed also with the Presidents who were their su perior officers. There were three Presi dents and three Secretaries of War with whom Miles could not agree. Hoot Soon Saw Need of Change. Secretary Root saw the necessity of eliminating from high theoretical com mand an officer who had access to all the papers and documents of the department by virtue of his own rank and Important place In the Government, and still was working at cross-purposes with the Gov ernment The General Staff, which goes into effect tomorrow, carries out the Sec retary's wish in that regard. At present there Is nothing to the General Staff save the Chief of Staff, as all the other officers are directly subordinate to him, and will only be an advisory body. Corbin. who has been designated as As sistant Chief of Staff, will hold the same position that he has held heretofore, and will be the principal military genius of the War Department PORTLAND FIRM'S RATING GOOD. Lanrford & Walker Almost Sure to Get the Postofflce Contract OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Aug. 11. The Supervising Archi tect of the Treasury has been examining carefully into the standing and reputation of Longford & Walker, the Portland builders, "who are the lowest bidders on the contract for remodeling and enlarging the Portland Postofflce. A peculiar -thing dis closed by the search Is that Bradstreet very highly rates on member of this firm, while the custodian in charge of the build ing strongly indorses the other. This showing, combined with the fact that contracts on siich work are always bonded for halt the amount of their contract Js believed to insure satisfactory completion of the Job, for should the contractors fall to make good, their bondsmen would be held, and the work completed at their expense. As a result of Mr. Taylor's examination, it Is expected that tho contract will be awarded to Longford & Walker in a very Xew days. The Portland firm, whose bid was not received at the time proposals were opened, was heard from 35 minutes late, but cannot be considered, their fig ure being $133,000, or nearly ? 13,000 higher than the offer of Langford & Walker. Shortly before bids were opened on this Portland work, the Treasury Department was given a quiet tip by an Individual. "Identity not disclosed." claiming to have Inside information to the effect that the competitors for the Postofflce extension at Portland bad combined to force heavy payment for the contract and that under mutual agreement a firm, agreed to be- forehand, had been designated. to submit the lowest bid. Supervising Architect ' Taylor, after viewing the several pro- i posals, and finding -a wide range of prices, and the lowest prices well wlthla reason, announce that, in his opinion, there was no combination. When the work can be done for $30,003 within the appropriation, he thinks there is no cause for suspecting collusion among bidders. ROOT DEFINES DUTIES OF STAFF. Secretary of "War Is One Who Will Receive the President's Orders. WASHINGTON, Aug. It Secretary Root tomorrow will promulgate an order defining the duties of General Staff of the Army, which, under the new law. goes into effect August 15. On the selection and duty of tho Chief of Staff, the Secre tary says: "Under the act of February 14, 1308, the command of the Army of the United States rests with the constitutional Com- i mander-in-Chlef. the President The j President will place parts of the Army i and separate armies, whenever consti tuted, under commanders subordinate to his general command; and in case of ex igency seeming to him to require it he may place the whole Army under a single commander subordinate to him. but In time of peace, and under ordinary condi tions, the administration and control of the Army are effected without any second in command. "The President's command Is exercised through the Secretary of War and tho Chief of Staff. Tho Secretary of War Is charged with carrying out the policies of the President In mllltarv affairs. He di rectly represents the President, and Is bound always to act In conformity to the President's instructions. Under the law and the decisions of the Supremo Court, his act3 are the President's acts, and his directions and orders are the President's In the directions and orders. "Tho Chief of Staff reports to the Sec retary of War, acts as his military ad viser, receives from him the directions and orders given in behalf of the Presi dent and gives effect thereto fh the man ner hereinafter provided. "Exceptions to thl3 ordinary course of administration may, however, be made-at any time by special direction of the President if he sees fit to call upon the Chief of Staff to give information or ad vice or receive Instructions directly. "The Chief of Staff Is detailed by tho President from officers of the Army at large not belgw the grade of Brigadier General. The successful performance of the duties of the position requires what the title denotes, a relation of absolute confidence and personal accord and sym pathy between the Chief of Staff and the Secretary of War. For this reason, with out any reflectfoa whatever upon the offi cer detailed, the detail will in every case cease, unless sooner terminated, on the day following th expiration of the term of office of the President by whom the de tail is made, and if at any time the Chief of Staff considers that he can no longer sustain toward the President and the Sec retary of War the relations above de scribed. It will be his duty to apply to be relieved. "The General Staff will become an ad visory and investigating body, and will prepare plans for the organization and mobilization of the Army, collect infor mation and make preparation for plans of campaigns and other actions. The officers of the General Staff assigned to duty la Washington will be divided into divisions such as may be directed by the Chief of Staff. Officers of the General Staff as signed to divisions, departments and sep arate brigades, will serve under the imme diate orders of the Commander of such separate divisions and departments." Another general order has been issued amending the regulations of the Army to meet the changed conditions which the General Staff law makes necessary. OPPOSE EARLY SESSION. Members of Congress Hold It Political!- Unvrise to Meet in October. OYSTER BAY, Aug. 14. Financial leg islation and other work of the proposed extraordinary session of Congress were discussed today by the President and his callers, who included Secretary Shaw and Senator Cullom and Controller of the Currency Rldgley. Considerable opposi tion has developed to the Idea of calling the extra session in October. The point is made that many Senators and Repre sentatives will be engaged during October In their state campaigns, and that It would be politically unwise for them to leave their states at such a time. It was announced today that no definite conclusion regarding the date of the ex traordinary session has been reached. Senator Cullom and Controller Rldg ley discussed the financial situation with the President with special reference to the necessity for currency legislation. Thus far about the only proposal on which nearly all seem to be agreed Is that the proposed legislation should include a provision for depositing customs re ceipts in National banks. Regard ing the report from Yokohama that Prince Ching, of the Chinese Foreign Office, had obtained Russia's consent to the use of President Roose velt's good offices 'in connection with the Manchurian difficulty, it can be said that nothing Is known here. The President has received no intimation that he has even been considered as an arbitrator of the Manchurlan troubles. FIRST ORDERS YOUNG WILL ISSCE.
