THE MORNING OREGONIAN",
3IOXDAY, MARCH 12, 1906.
DEBATE ON RATES
TO BE OR
Senate Cannot Reach Vote on
Bill Till Far Along
in May.
SMOOT CASE COMES FIRST
Rate Bill Vill Be Pushed Aside -Till
Mormon Is Disposed or Sena
tors "Will Make Speeches?
for Campaign Use.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ioRton. March 11. The railroad rate fight
will probably begin in earnest on the
ar of the Senate tomorrow. There is
no other important legislation now pond
tag that can reasonably be interposed to
cemmttnd prior consideration. The state
hood bill, the Philippine bill, the Panama
blM and the Santo Domingo treats are
H out of the way for the time being, at
least. and there is nothing to prevent
O0trt1tiiou.s consideration of the rato bill.
t Jast until the Smoot case is reported
front the committee on privileges and
4eetions.
T4h Smoot cae involves a question of
klgboet privilege, and under Spnate rules
wfM take precedence over everything else.
When" it wines from committee, it will
reeit immediate consideration, unless
Sonator Smoot or Chairman Burrows
agree to let It go over, .which is not
probable. There is talk that the Smoot
3a will be reported the last of March
jt nrt of April, and if this proves to be
the case, the consideration of the rato
Mil. except in the morning hour, will
have to be postponed, unless a vote can
be had before the Smoot case comes up.
This o&so will certainly lead to two
weeks discussion, possibly twice that
mack, and it is safe to predict that if
the Senate does not vote on the rate bill
prior to taking up the Smoot case, tho
rate bill is opt to be under consideration
as late as May 1. perhaps longer.
Want' Speeches for Campaign
Thore is a possibility, but not a prob
xbllity, that the light on tho rate bill
nay suddenly collapse after a couple of
tvnks of debate, if it becomes obvious
that tho opponents of the Hepburn bill
aannot carry their point and secure the
adoption of an unlimited court review
intendment, they may lie down and let
the bill go through, but the chances arc
against an early vote. Even if the rail
road Senators should capitulate, many
friends of honest rate legislation want an
opportunity to express their views in
rder that they may have their speeches
circulated in the coming campaign. This
te true of Democrats and Republicans
aMke.
The Domocrats have been quick to
realize that the rate bill has furnished
thorn bettor campaign material than they
have had to "work with in many years.
They arc standing for the kind of a
rate bill that President Roosevelt advo
cates; the Democrats in the Senate know
that without their aid such a bill could
not be enacted. They appreciate the
general demand for such a law. and -when
it is passed they will be able to point to
the fact that its enactment was made
possible only by their votes. For this
rason a large number of Democratic
Senators are anxious to speak In advoc
acy of the bill, that they may circulate
their speeches as compaign literature.
Those Republican Senators who favor
an honest rate bill are Just as anxious to
go on record, so that their party cau
have rate literature in the- coming cam
jaigns. "While they realize that the
Democrats hold a valuable strategic po
jsition in tho rate fight, they do not want
it to go forth to the country that the
rate bill was a Democratic measure, or
that its passage was due entirely to
Democratic votes. So there is to be a
flood of Republican oratory In support of
the bill.
Mny Reach Vote In May.
'Three weeks Is hardly enough time to
acommodate all the rate speeches that
are in contemplation. The average speech
will probably occupy a day. and five leg
islative days in a week would afford op
portunity for only 15 speeches before the
Smoot case -Is brought in. For this roa
wn 1t is probable that a vote on the rate
bill will not be reached until some time
In May, unless the managers of the
Smoot case should consent to hold off
until the railroad problem has been
solved.
With the exception of Senator Foraker.
ever Senator is now supposed to favor
oic kind of a rate bill. Mr. Foraker
is dead against rate control of ans kind.
The Democrats nnd many Republicans
stand with the President in support or
hc Hepburn bill, with an amendment
permitting appeals to tho Circuit Court
"for the purpose of determining only
whether the Commission acted within its
authority and whether the order of the
Commission -violates the Constitutional
rights of the railroad." The railroad
Senators, mostly Republicans, arc still
demanding an unlimited appeal amend
ment which, it is conceded, would com
pletely destroy the effectiveness of tho
bill, and defeat its purposes. The entiro
fight may therefore be- said to center
around the appeal amendment, and it is
up to the Senate to decide whether thero
shall bo limited right of appeal, as pro
posed by the President, or unrestricted
appeal, as demanded by the railroad
Senators.
MOSES IS . DEPOSED.
New Leader In Zion Announces a'
Change of Policy.
CHICAGO, March 11. Wilbur Voliva
the new deputy general overseer .of
Zion City, speaking before 1300 Chicago
xaerabers of the church today, an
nounced several striking departures
from the policy of John Alexander
Bowie, to be inaugurated in the man
agement of Zion City and Its Indus
tries. Tho overseer spoke reverentially
of Dewie as the founder of the church,
but condemned the administration
afese which are said to have existed
under his government.
Among: the reforms which are prom
te are the abolition of fetaalo labor
In the lacti factory aaa ether shops, the
etaMiBhent of aa agricultural com
nuntty la conaeetlaa with Zion City;
OUT
courteous treatment of newspaper cor
respondents; the toleration of other
religious creeds and a relegation of all
sensational and emotional .religion.
The new overweer led his hearers to
believe that Dowic had been perma
nently deposed. "Concerning: the gen
eral overseer we will attend to that at
the proper time," said Voliva. "Moses
led tho children of Israel out of Egypt
and afterward for good reason tne
Lord set Moses aside. Do some think
ing. Read between the lines."
RACE RIOT IN ALABAMA
Wounded White Man Is
pected to Live;
Not Ex-
MOBILE!, Ala.. March 11. As the result
of a race riot that broke out last night
at Wilmer. 3C miles west of Mobile. A. J.
Ellis, an aged, white man was fatally
wounded Cole Daniels, a negro cr-comict.

Pringle a large turpentine operation and
another negro named Sam McPaston. was
wounded. Four negroes were arrested
and brought to Mobile by Sheriff Powers
and posse.
It is said the negroes have been mak
ing threats against the whites in the
neighboring turpentine camps for sev
eral months. The trouble arose from the
wounding of the negro McPaston by Prin
gle. Nearly 200 armed white men arc
gathering at Wilmer. but everything was
quiet when Sheriff Powers left the scene
and the trouble Is believed to be over.
RAILWAYS FEEL EFFECTS
Gold Standard Bringing Foreign
Money to Mexico.
MEXICO CITY. March 11. The rail
ways are feeling the good effects of the
gold standard established here nearly a
year ago, and show a gain in net earn
ings. The gold standard is also power
fully aiding the movement of foreign
capital here for investment.
Freight Traffic Congested.
MEXICO CITY. March 11. The freight
traffic here has congested the storehouses
of the railways, and thore is much dif
ficulty In handling freight quickly, though
the situation is becoming easier. There
is also very large passenger and excur
sion traffic.

Mitchell Will Not Talk.
President John Mitchell, of the
United Mlncworkers of America, left
today for Indianapolis, where he goes
to prepare for the convention ,of the
mlncworkers March 15. Mr. Mitchell de
clined absolutely to say anything re
garding the reply of tho operators, re
fusing the demands of the miners.
Prior tn Mr. Mitchell's dnnarture
there was a long meeting- of the znin- I
s-c' onmmlMnn all nf lio minora rn. '
resentatlves left New York tonight,
some going to their homes and others
to the points in Pennsylvania, where
they will discuss the operators' reply
with the vxfrlous district leaders.
NEGOTIATIONS BROKEN OFF
Confirmation of Action of the An
thracite Operators.
INDIANAPOLIS, March 11. Secretary
Treasurer W. B. Wilson, of the United
Mlneworkers of America, tonight oon
ilrmed the report that the anthracite
operators had broken off the negotiations
which have been in progress with a com
mittee of their employers in New York
during the last two weeks.
Mr. Wilson said he had been advised
late Saturday night that such a state
ment would be Issued today from New
York. He refused to discuss the effect
this action of the operators of the an
thracite field might be expected to have
in regard to the coming meeting of tho
miners and operators to be held in In
dianapolis this week and next.
Under the "Ryan resolutions, adopted
by the miners at the close of their na
tional convention In February, this move
by the anthracite mineowncrs would seem
to forestall any action that might be
taken by a Joint conference of the bitu
minous operators and miners.
The Ryan resolution provides that no
contract shall be signed in any district
under the Jurisdiction of the United Mine
workers until satisfactory agreements are
reached in all the districts covered by
the organization.
CONFERENCE WITH MITCHELL
Commissioner Ncill Believed to Have
Been Sent hy President.
PHILADELPHIA March 11. Charles
P. Ncill, United States Commissioner of
Labor, and President John Mitchell, of
the Miners' Union, held a conference
here today. Neither Mr. Neill nor Mr.
Mitchell would disclose the nature of
their conference, Mr. Mitchell saying
that It would not bo wiec to do so at
this time. It is believed, however, that
Mr. Neill came here to sec Mr, Mitchell
at the Instance of President Roosevelt.
Neither Mr. Mitchell nor Mr. Neill made
any secret of their belief that the sit
uation In the anthracite region is
grave.
"It Is as bad and as critical as it can
he without coming to an open rupture,"
said the Commissioner of Labor.
"Tho outlook is serious," "nvas Mr.
Mitchell's only comment.
After the conference Mr. Mitchell left
for the West and Mr. Ncill returned to
-Washington.
Miners Greatly Disappointed.
SHAMOKIN. Pa., March 11. News
hero today that the anthracite coal
companies would not grant a single
demand of the United Mlncworkers was
received with surprise and disappoint
ment. Many of the miners declared
they will quit work April 1 unless they
receive concessions.

where he can neither gather the material

palm trees, and it would not be warm
enough If he could, he must fall back
upon mother earth for his shelter. The
great adobe bricks are simply made. Tho
clay Is mixed with water and straw,
usually the refuse from the stables,
pressed Into a square wooden frame on

bake in the sun. It is really wonderful to
see ijow long these bricks will stand tho
stress of sun and rain In a country where
there are no severe frosts. And not alone
does the poor man make use of this cheap
building material. Many a pretentious

coating of plaster, and finished in imita

into decay and shows that within it has
relied for strength and support upon
