Posse Fights Deadly Battle
With Indian Outlaws.
WASHINGTON-, March 12. There was
x sharp division of opinion in the Senato
today over the question whether the Tlll-jnan-GllIcspie
resolution Instructing the
Interstate Commerce Commission to in
quire into the railroad holdings of coal
od oil lands Justified the President's
message regarding It. Tillman complained
that the President had charged Congress
with Insincerity, pretense and ignorance.
Ivxigo and Spooner took the position that
the charge of Ignorance was warranted.
The debate was spirited, but was Inter
rupted at 2 o'clock, when the railroad
rate bill was called up, and Culberson
made a two hours' legal argument. In
which he supported a bill of his own
which ho has Introduced as a substitute
for the pending House bill. Elkins and
Bacon announced that they would dis
cos the resolution and message later,
and predicted that several others would
do the same.
Tillman and Spooner Go at It.
The message on the Tlllman-Glllcspic
resolution was sent to the desk by Till
man and was roroad.
Tillman thought the resolution suffi
ciently specific, and the President's criti
cism thereof .uncalled for.
Ixdgo replied In support ofthe Presi
dent. He thought that the resolution,
honrnvAr. lmnosod a task on the commis
sion of five men-a task that would tax
fin. Ponsns Bureau.
Foraker said on examination that the
nintlnn had been loosely drawn.
Spooner thought the resolution defective
in that It did not give the commission
ihnritv to send for witnesses and admin
istor oaths in connection with the new in-
stiLtion it has been requested to maae.
and which is in addition to the duties im-
n,.d bv the interstate commerce acu
.ir...M t ,r.t n redundancy and
airtev to clve authority to send for per
sons and papers when it already had that
authority?" asked Tillman.
If the Senator had studied the law as
lift should have done, he would not ask
that question." retorted Spooner.
Culberson's Xcw Kate Bill.
Th debate was interrupted at 2 o'clock.
when Culberson was recognized to speak
on the railroad rate bllL He read a sec
tlon of his bill to create emergency pow-
r for the Interstate Commerce comnus
dnn which he will offer as a substitute
for the ncfndlnc measure.
Foraker took Issue with Culberson when
ho declared Congress Itself bad construed
the commerce clause of the Constitution
as giving It power to fix rates, by grant
ing a Federal charter to the Union Pa
cific Railway. In that act it reserved this
power, and it acted under the commerce
clause in tliat legislation. Tills Foraker
intended should not -be so held. Con
gross was acting under its authority to
establish post roads and provide for the
National defense, rather than under the
commerce clause, and In fixing rates was
exercising a proprietary power.
Culberson answered that Congress could
excrclso no othor than Its legislative
power.
Knox called attention to the fact that
.f-tttics recognized this power In forbear
ing to fix any rates outsldo their bor
ders, for which point Culberson expressed
lila thanks. Later Culberson declared
that rate-making was a legislative and
not a judicial function.
lllgbt of Keview Inherent.
The right of judicial review of an order
of the Commission already exists and in
heres In the Constitution, said Culber
son. To incorporate It in the pending bill,
he declared, would be but to recognize a
Constitutional right, but would answer no
purpose that had not already been met.
He opposed the use of the term "fairly
romunoraUve" in the different bills, and
also "justly compensatory." and said both
raised a new standard not recognized In
common law. He advocated instead tho
term "just and reasonable."
Culberson said that conditions had
changed: that competition had been de
stroyed by merger, combination and traf
fic arrangements, and tho Interests of the
country demand that these railroad cor
porations restore to. the public what justly
belonKS to it. The railroad rate bill was
then temporarily laid aside.
Bills were passed as follows:
To amend section 4400 of the Revised
st n tut M relating to the Inspection of
steam vessels.
Increasing to $30,000 the annual appro
prlatlon for agricultural experiment sta
tions.
Extending the public laws to certain
lands In Wyoming.
CAS NEVER BE RECONCILED
Countess dc Castcllane Decides to
Ask Absolute Divorce.
PARIS. March 12. There Is reason to
believe that tho preliminary hearings in
stituted by Countess Bonl de Casteuane,
formely Anna Gould, against her husband.
Count Bonl, which was set for March 14,
will be postponed. This, it Is understood,
is duo to the fact that tho Countess con-
tomnlates annlyinc Xor an absolute di
vorce, instead of a separation, which will
reauiro tho filing of a new bill of com
plaint.
The proposed change appears to be tne
result of the conclusion of all concerned
that a reconciliation between the Coun
tess and the Count In Impossible during
the three years In which tho legal sep
aration would be operative. It Is tho in
tention of tho lawyers on both sides to
avoid public hearings of the case and to
secure a decree without a contest.

House Committee Hears Arguments
for Remedy Against Control of
Elections by Rich Men.
"WASHINGTON. March 12. Perry Bel
mont, president of the National Publicity
Bill Association, addressed the House
committee on olectlon of President, Vice-
President and Representatives in Congress
today on the purification of political cam
paigns by preventing: secret contributions.
Mr. Belmont said Mr. Griggs, wno nas
Just been elected chairman of the Demo
cratic Congressional committee, is willing
to nublish all contributions he may re
ceive In the approaching campaign.
President Samuel Gompcrs. of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, said tne contin
uation of great contributions to campaigns
is inimical to the liberty of the people. Ho
said the natienco of waceworkers was
about exhausted and they were vers' much
Interested in any measure to purify elec
tions.
General James S. Wilson, of Wllmlng
ton, Del., said his state felt especially the
need for legislation to purify elections.
He said a. man behind prison bars was
the best argument In favor of a reform
movement, and urged a more stringent
bill thun the McCall bill. One man alone.
he said, was. generally believed to have
spent 5l.O00.0W to control Delaware poll
tics. Unless stringent legislation can bo
obtained, he expressed apprehension lest
only rich men would be abo to obtain of
fice In the near future.
Representative Bourkc Cockran spoke
In support of a bill he had Introduced
which provides that individuals giving
more than JuO to a campaign fund shall
be required to make a statement before a
County Clerk and cause the gut to be
announced In two newspapers. He de
clared that secrecy should not surround
any contributions.
"If Mr. Rockefeller wants to give J1.0M,
000 to a committee. I don't think there
should he any law against It, but the pub
lie snQuia oe auviseu as to where the con
tributlon came from. And I do not think
any committee would see fit to take a
contribution of 51,000.000 from Rockefeller
if the fact were to be made public.' said
Mr. Cockran. "Publicity Is what Is re
quired.

Attack All Day Army of Depu
ties Goes Ouc to Cap
ture 3Iurdercrs.
VINITA, I. T., March 12. One hundred
armed men have gone Into the Cherokee
country In pursuit of tho WIckllffc band
of Indian outlaws, who on Sunday after
noon. SI miles southeast of Vinlta, am
bushed a United States Marshal's posse
of six men, killing one and wounding
another.
Bob Thompson arrived here at 11 P.
M. from the scene of tho fight. He says
that the posse, of which ho was one, af
ter trailing the WIcklitfcs all day with
bloodhounds, came upon them at 3
o'clock in the afternoon. The Indians,
11 In number, took refugo in a ravine
and opened Arc The deputies threw
themselves upon the ground and a hot
fight began, which lasted an hour.
Deputy Sheriff D. L. Gllstrap was shot
through the head and killed at the first
exchange of bots. Dick Ferry, another
posscman, was wounded.
The deputies were driven gradually
back to the head of a ravine. There they
formed a breastwork, and the Indans,
despairing of reaching them, withdrew.
Thompson reports an ugly feeling' among
the Indians. The posse can do nothing
until tomorrow.
The trouble with the W'ickllffes dates
back to January, 1903, when the Cherokee
Land Office was opened at Vinlta. The
full-blood Cherokees objected to this
proceeding, and they hold war dances
all over the Cherokee country, and tho
situation became alarming. On one oc
casion Peter Wolf, a full-blood Indian,
was killed by another full-blood for no
other reason than that he came to Vinlta
and secured an allotment.
Dr. William Pink Plll the Tonic
That Most Peep! Need.
"In winter the air of the cloce rooms in
which we spend so much of the time
does Hot famish enough oxygen to the
longs to burn out the foul matter in tho
blood. Everyone knows the uncomfort
able feelings that follow the breathing
of bad air and that are cared by simply
opening a window for a short time. The
worst effects, however, are those which
are stored up and do not appear at once.
In the cold season we do not exercise
as much and the skin and kidneys do not
throw off the wnste matter as freely as
usual. Tho whole system gets clogged
just as a machine does when it is not
cleaned with frequency. The stomach
does its work fetbly and gets less nour
ishment out of the food. So there is
weakness everywhere; weak organs,
weak muscles, weak nerves. The sys
tem becomes overloaded with poisonous
matter, and too feeble to throw it off.
Relief can be had ouly through the use
of a remedy that will promptly and
thoroughly purify and strengthen the
blood, and the one best adapted for this
purpose Is tho great blood tonic known
as Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills.
"They acted like magic in my case,"
slid Mrs. Clara L. Wilde, of No. 877
Farnsworth avenue, Detroit, Mich. " I
was weak and thin and could not sleep.
My stomach and nerves were out of or
der. I can't describe how miserable I
really was. I dragged through six
months of feebleness, growing weaker
all the timo until I finally hadn't stren gth
euongh to leave my bed.
"Then a glad dnvcnme, tho day when
I began to take Dr! Williams' Pink Pills.
Thev made me feel strong right away.
My appetite camo back, 1 took on flesh
and the color returned to my cheeks.
Peoplo wondered that these pills did for
mo what the doctors couldn't do. I took
only six boxes and then I was perfectly
well. If I had not found this wonderful
remedy I surely think that I must have
wasted to death. Believing firmly that
these pills saved my life by the strength
which they gave roe at a critical mo
ment, I unhesitatingly recommend them
to others."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain no

They do not contain a single grain of

SM00T CASE NEXT MONTH
How Women's Petitions Against Sen
ator Failed or Effect.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March 12. The Smoot case Is apt
to be brought before the Senate early in
April, and will continue to be tho fore
most topic of discussion in that body for
the better part of a month. If leaders or
the anti-Smoot campaign arc to be re
lied upon. Before the present Congress
assembled, it was understood that the
Me would be reoorted early in January,
but the anti-Smoot people had some ad
ditional witnesses to produce, and then
Senator Smoot wanted some of his
friends to appear. The result has been
to delay the report at icast two montns.
But once the case Is reported. It becomes
a question of highest privilege, and will
take precedence over everyunng eise.
An incident of more than pasting in
terest recently occurred in connection
with the Smoot case. Women in all parts
of the country worked throughout the
past Summer preparing enormous peti
tions demanding tne expulsion oi smoot
from 'nhc Senate. These petitions were
forwarded to tho anti-Smoot headquar
ters in Philadelphia, there they were nr-
at the primaries on primary day by sign
ing blank "A." provided for in the direct ranged by states, and the antis proposed
pnmarj law. to haYO them presented to tho Senate
opinions nave wiaeiy auxered upon luls
subject, and there lias been much discus
sion of it, for the reason that there will
be many voters who will fall to register
and who will demand the right to vote on
jiriruary day. The prevailing opinion has
been that an unregistered person could
not register at. the polls and vote, for
section 15 of tho direct primary law says
that "no person wno is not a qualified
elector and a registered member of his
party making Its nominations under the
provisions of this law shall be qualified to
Join In signing any petition for nomina
tion or to vote at said primary nominat
ing election."
Attorney-General Crawford says If this
were all the law contained upon this sub
ject, the intention would bo plain that
unleES registered the party could not vote.
He looks further, however, and finds that
in sections 1 and 8 of the primary law
there are provisions which make tho Aus
tralian ballot law applicable, and section
2S75 of tho code is expressly made ap
plicable to primary nominating elections.
This last-mentioned section provides for
any elector wno is not registered in the
precinct in which he applies to vote to
use blank "A," and vote If otherwise qual
ified. Section 38 of, the direct primary
law says that "nothing contained In this
law shall be construed to deprive any
elector of the right to register and vote
at any primary nominating election re-
quired by this law on his complying with
the special provisions of this law in the
same manner that no is permitted by
the general laws to register and vote at a
general election."
Construing the law as a whole, the At-
torney-General finds that the elector may
qualify by using blank "A" on election
day, and hence that County Clerks should
send out sucn bianKs with the ballot-
boxes and pollbooks.
Gale Fans Forest Fires.
BELLING HAM. March. 12. The gale
which has been blowing from the north-
cast since Friday night, caused the tem
perature last night to fall to 25 above
zero, thus causing untold damage to fruit
and vegetables in Jsorui western Wash
ington. It Is also starting brush and
forest fires throughout this section, en
dangering many mills.
Prompt work by firemen today saved
tho Berad mill at Anacortcs from com
plete destruction. Brush and trees for
two miles along the Guide Meridian road
north of .this city arc amaze, tn.res.ten-
ing several mill plants, especially that of
the Alkl Company.

Later reports tell of several farmkeuses
being burned. -Several larse Sree are
day by day by the Senators from the re
spective states. It was planned to be an
Imposing spectacle, conveying the idea
that the women all over the united
States were overwhelmingly in favor of
bouncing Smoot.
But, unfortunately, the first petitions
to be sent to Washington were placed in
the hands of Senators who intend to voto
for Smoot. Senator Perkins presented
the California petitions, and accompanied'
them with a statement that served to off
set tho effect of the protest, and he in
cidentally stated that he would vote ac
cording to the law and his convictions,
and not according to the dictates of the
women signers of the petitions. Senator

Patterson and Senator Warren followed
in like terms.
Then the flood of petitions suddenly
ceased. There has not been another one
laid before the Senate. Apparently the
managers of tho anti-Smoot campaign
fear that the entire effect of tho big pro
test will be lost If the original plan Is
followed, and they have decided to with
hold tho protest until some moro effectlvo
way can be found of laying it before tne
Senate.
The anti-Smoot managers made the
mistake of starting with the wrong Sen
ators. Had they led off with Idaho, per
mltting Senator Dubois to present the
protest of the women of his state, a very
different result might nave neen accom
nllshcd.
But there is another objection to the
plan as originally outlined. The presen
tation of petitions would constitute :
virtual poll of the Senate, and would
show in advance what sort of vote
might bo expected when the Smoot case
comes up for determination.

mitted that he was a great organizer and a really
wonderful man, in his way. The gathering
about him of that devoted band of believers in
his theories, and the founding of the City of
Zion, with its subsequent growth and creation of
monster lace industries is a matter of wonder
and of history. It is alleged by some that Dovie,
with all his masterly talent of organization had
no ability as a financier or business manager. Be
this as it may, the lace industries at Zion grew
rapidly and wased strong. Beautiful laces were
turned out and all the world of fashion marveled
at the wondrous handiwork done by the honest
and expert folk at Zion who were engaged in the
lace industry. And then for some reason or
another financial trouble came and laces had to
be sacrificed. This store was selected as Port
land's distributing depot, and here women may
buy the exquisite "Zionese" laces at much less
than their worth today in the market. No need
for us to tell you again how much you will need
laces this season; you have read the storj and
proven it true our sales of laces the past two
'weeks have proven that to us. Here, and here
only in the city, can you obtain the superior laces
made at Zion" and shipped direct from there to
this store. On this line, you should bear in mind
there is no tariff to pay, as there is on the foreign
laces, and many lace connoisseurs pronounce
Zion-made laces superior to many of the famous
weaves that come from the great lace-making
countries of Europe.
