THE 3IOKNIXG OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1908. JUST A MEGAPHONE Tariff Speeches for Campaign Made in House. LAND1S A STANDPATTER Defends Watch Trust, Advises Cock ran to Sell Out, Dilates on Coxey Army and Draws Out Williams' Eloquence. WASHINGTON, May 23. The Ueues des tined to be uppermost between the two erf at parties during- the coming campaign are already being- joined, if the speeches now being made in the House of Repre sentatives are a safe index. Several weeks ago Rainey of Illinois made a carefully prepared speech on the watch trust, as serting that the watch manufacturers of the United States had one price for watches at home and a lower price abroad. Today in the House, Charles B. Landis, of Indiana, In a sense answered Rainey, frankly admitting that American manu facturers had one price at home and an other abroad, and defended the practice as in accord with good bufHness methods, insisting that all countries sold their wares for lower prices abroad than at home. Tells Cockran to Sell Out. Landis also paid some attention to a speech made by Bourke Cockran. wherein the latter denounced the policy of pro tection as one of public plunder, the foun tain source of all corruption and the cause of total demoralization of the American Republic. This Landis denied. He Bald that every poor but ambitious emigrant who' landed here during the last ten years would refute the allegation. Referring to Cockran's speech, he said: "This is the best country on earth and not the worst country on earth And if I thought about It as the gentleman from New York, I would resign my seat in this. House, sell out my belongings and move to some other country nearer in harmony with my political notions." Pictures of Coxey's Army. Landis displayed a number of pictures of Coxey's army and commented on its appearance in -Washington and the de mand of its members for work. That was the condition during the last years of Democratic rule," said he. In reply to this, Williams, the Demo cratic leader, staffed that he had walked through Coxey's army while it -was en camped on the grass in front of the Sen ate entrance to the Capitol, and at thai time the Wilson-Gorman bill was under discussion in the Senate. He insisted that the Government Was still operating un der the McKlnley bill' at that time and that revenues were being collected under that Republican measure. Williams said he was encouraged in the fight the Democrat were making In fa vor ef tariff reform because of the num ber of Republican leaders who were wish ing for relief from the protective tariff. He said the sledge-hammer debater, Hep burn of Iowa, the chaste and brilliant Boutelle, and even the humorist of the Republican side, Cushman of Washing ton, had been all commandeered .to sup port the protective theory, and he in ferred from this that the attacks were having effect. . . , It was Williams' solid belief that the worst thing about the protective tariff was that It corrupts the friends of good government. He said the Republicans would come Into the Democratic party and say to the friends of free trade, "we will protect you against frost, we will pro tect you against hall," and so the Demo crats yielded and even h had been di rectly approached along similar lines, but he had been thus far able to say, "get thee behind me, Satan." Deny They Burned . Corn. Landis took up the assertion of "Wil liams that corn was so low in 1S90 and 1891 that the farmers were compelled to burn it for fuel. He said he came from a corn- belt in Indiana and he denied that farmers were compelled to burn Oielr corn because it was a drug on lh market. Williams insisted that he was light in his statement. This brought Hlnshaw of Nebraska into the arena to say that, while he did not know what Kansas did in 1890, he inew as a Nebraskan fliat corn was not burned in his state. Reeder of Kansas followed to repudi ate the statement that the farmers of the Sunflower State had burned their corn. When Landis concluded, the Republican side rose and accorded him an ovation. WILLIAMS THUNDERS PROTEST Speaker Ignores - Demand for Vote and Leaves Him Talking. WASHINGTON, May 23. When the House met today an unusual scene oc curred. Williams, the minority leader, de manded the ayea and noes on a motion of Adams (Pa.) to go into committee of the whole for the further consideration of the diplomatic and Consular bill. This was refused, tne Speaker holding that one-flfth of the members present had not risen - to demand- the ayes and noes. "I demand that the other side be tak en," called out Williams. The speaker refused to take the nega tive on a rising vote, stating that but a short time before it had been demon strated that a quorum was present, 195. Then Williams thundered out a protest against the Speaker's ruling. An attempt to secure order was In vain, and, leaving Williams standing, the Speaker left the desk, and Curtis (Kan.) took his place, as chairman of the com mittee of the whole, and in a general de bate the bill was discussed. FAVORS FREE ALCOHOL BILL Aldrich Must Report Measure Credit ing Rivalry for Kerosene. WASHINGTON, May 23.

SETTLE CAXADIAX DISPUTES Root Proposes w , Commission to Negotiate Chinese Indemnity Fund. WASHINGTON. May 23.

It developed that-H. is unlikely that the Joint high commission will ever be convened again and Mr. Root urged the necessity of. providing some other means to reach this end. As to the Indemnity fund paid by China to this Government. Mr. Root suggested that this money be used to construct suit able houses for Consuls in the Orient. Chairman Cullom was authorized to re port favorably on an amendment to the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill, authorizing the President to expend for consular buildings in China, Corea and Japan Jl.000,000 of the Chinese In demnity fund.

"That daily reports of the oil run of the Independents are sent to 26 Broad way in ample time for consideration at the dally meetings of the Standard of ficials. "That the pilfered telegrams are not only of a business nature, but that in numerous cases secret political infor mation of the highest importance has been transmitted to headquarters." SHALL MOODY PROSECUTE IT? Question About Oil Monopoly Con sidered at AVhlte House. WASHINGTON, May 23. An impor tant conference was held at the White House late this afternoon, participated in by the President, Attorney-General Moody and James R. Garfield, Commis sioner of Corporations. It is understood that, in connection with some features of the recent report on the oil Indus try by Mr. Garfield, the question consid ered was whether a legal remedy Is to be applied or whether the rate bill now pending, when finally passed, will not furnish a remedy for some of the mat ters complained of. No action was de cided on. EYE FIXED ON OREGON (Continued From Pairs 1.) . of the President, the Republicans in Con gress have been brought solidly and unitedly to the support of the greatest piece of remedial legislation enacted dur ing the last quarter of a century, for such I deem to be the railroad-rate bill that Is now practically perfected. "But there is another consideration that should unite the Republicans of Oregon in a determination to elect every candi date on their ticket. For the first time in the history of the state, nominations to office have been made by the people. Is that practice to be adhered to or aban doned? I believe it should be adhered to. But what hope will there be for its retention if the first result shall be to turn over to the Democracy, in a Re publican state, the principal offices? "It may be said that In some instances that has been done under the old system. True, but It has always been contended that the cause was the old system. What excuse can be offered for such result now? The people have nominated. The state is overwhelmingly Republican. Then send this double greeting to the Republicans of the Nation, that the Re publicans of Oregon indorse the present administration, and that those whom Re publicans nominate under the direct pri mary system, they will elect.

HEAD TAX IS INCREASED Bureau of Information to Tell Im migrants AVhere to Go New . comers Must Have Money and Education. WASHINGTON, May 23. In addition to passing a half-dozen bills to which no ob jection was made, the Senate devoted its entire session today to the Immigration bill, which was passed just- before the hour of adjournment. The major portion of the discussion was devoted to the pro vision for supplying information concern ing the different sections of the country to newly arrived immigrants. The bill consists of a series of amend ments to the existing law, all of them In tended to permit stricter regulations for keeping out the defective classes of aliens. The head tax is increased from $2 to $5. Information for Immigrants. . When the Senate resumed consideration of the bill, the committee amendment au thorizing the creation of a bureau of in formation for the beneflt of immigrants was taken up. Gallinger moved to strike out all of the amendment except that portion permitting the various states to be represented by. agents at- the immigrant stations, and McCreary opposed the motion. Nelson advocated the retention of the committee amendment as calculated to prevent the huddling together of immi grants in the large Western cities. After further debate, Gallinger's amend ment was modified and adopted. As agreed to, it authorizes the creaion of a division of information, limits the expe.ise to $20, 000, and authorizes suites, territories and corporations Interested in immigration to maintain agencies at the immigrant sta tions. Education and Cash Required. An amendment requiring an educational test for Immigrants and also requiring that no immigrant carrying less than $23 should be admitted was presented by Sim mons, who spoke in support of it. Lodge offered a substitute confining the test to an educational requirement and providing that no alien more than 16 years of age who cannot read in some language shall be admitted except members of the fam ilies of male adults now residing in the United States. Simmons accepted the sub stitute and it was adopted. The bill was then passed without di vision. Bills Passed by Senate. WASHINGTON. May 23.

Declaring that he is temporarily insane from grief over separation from his family since the San Francisco earthquake. Dr. James Edwards, of that city, has been placed in a hospital at his own request. He made himself known to a local physician this morning and talked so irrationally that the county physician was called. He claimed to be a graduate of Ann Arbor, Mich., and said he was -living in San Francisco at the time of the recent dis aster. He was separated from his family and the grief, he says, has driven him insane. He realizes his condition and thinks that rest and proper treatment will restore his reason.

According to the report of the statistician of the Southern Pacific, that company up to and including May 19 last had handled free into this city 1635 cars of supplies for the relief of the fire sufferers. The entire country responded to the appeals for help. California rose mightily to the occasion. Sixty-seven cities and towns of the Gold en State gave a carload or more of pro visions to the Southern Pacific to trans port to San Francisco within ten days after the disaster. Hardly less enviable is Oregon's record. Down over the Shasta route 22 Oregon cities sent a carload or more of supplies to San Francisco before the end of April. Of the Eastern states sending generous contributions In carload lots, the Nebraska towns along the lines of the Harriman system, availing themselves of the offer of free transportation, secured for Ne braska the first place among Eastern states in the number of cities contribut ing a carload or more. Up to the end of April 23 cities and towns in Nebraska had collected and forwarded a carload each. The. largest single item carried was flour, of which over 6000 tons were brought to San Francisco between April 19 and May 10. In the three weeks succeeding the fire the potatoes delivered aggregated 127 cars, or 15 pounds for every inhabitant of the city. Canned goods amounted to about ten pounds each. The provisions and supplies that had no other designa tion totaled over 14,000 tons before May 10, or 60 pounds for every resident of the city. SAVINGS BANKS ARE ALL OPEN Pour Forth Stream of Millions to the Eager People. SAN FRANCISCO, May 23. At 10 o'clock this morning practically every bank in this city that has been able to secure temporary quarters threw open Its doors to the public. An unique fea ture connected with this general resump tion of business after the suspension caused by the recent great calamity was the fact that never in the history of San Francisco was there so much bank money on hand. For the past week money has been pouring into the various financial Institutions from all parts of the world. , Superintendent Leach, of the United States Mint, ha? received many large transfers from Eastern and -European centers, and still the money is coming. What the total is to date is not known, but some time ago it exceeded $30,000,000. The last transfers consisted for the greater part , of large sums for the sav ings banks. When their doors opened this morning, they by no means had to depend upon the money received from outside sources. Great savings institu tions like the Hibernia, the Humboldt and the Mutual had millions In coin and valuable securities In their vaults, which were undisturbed by the Are. The first named of these banks had intrusted to its care enormous sums. It was reported when business opened to day that this bank had back of it $15,000. 000 in United States bonds and $10,000,000 in other gilt-edged securities, together with millions In coin. In Its list of de positors are included a great number of the working classes. Most of these peo ple lost their all in the recent great fire, and at an early hour they began to line up before the bank's doors. By 9 o'clock the lines were over a block long, and the police were summoned to maintain order and be prepared for any possible emergency. Their duties, however, con sisted of little more than keeping the patient men and women in line. There was no disorder and not an anxious face in the long line. Features were stamped with expectancy rather than worry, for confidence In the banks' ability to pay in full was questioned by no one. The early lining up simply meant that workmen needed their small savings at this junc ture and took the first opportunity to ob tain them. Over the shattered bank building an American, flag floated in the sunshine, and when the doors swung open the shuf fle of feet In the long line was accom panied by the click of gold. It was music to these men and women who once feared the accumulations of a lifetime had been swept away. The banks paid without limit. WILL BUILD NEW CHINATOWN Minister1 Cheng Wishes the Chinese Would Scatter, but Fears Not. SAN FRANCISCO. May 23. The Chinese Minister from Washington, Chen Tung Liang Cheng, escorted by Mayor Mott, of Oakland, came to this city and called on Mayor Schmitx at the Century Club. The visit was brief and after the exchanging of a few compliments the Oriental diplo mat was taken for an automobile tour of the burned and unburned districts of the city, to the temporary Chinese quarter near the Presidio, and to Hunter's Point, that he might view the site where It has been proposed to locate the new China town. He had little to say on this proposition. In conversation with Mayor Mott, ex Mayor Phelan, A. Reuf and President Wheeler, of the University- of California, who were of the party, the Minister said that he wished his people would be con tent to scatter about the city, but he had no idea that they would be willing to live other than together. As to their moving back to th old Chinese quarter, that was something on which he could give no ex pression. He remarked that thre were 40 Chinese merchants who owned the ground on which their former buildings stood, and he supposed that, if they chose to rebuild and move into the new structures, they would have the right to do so.

McGraw, of Seattle, and Rep resentative Burton, chairman of the river and harbor committee, in regard to the Is Disease a Crime ? Not very long ago, a popular magazine published an editorial article in which the writer asserted, in substance, that all disease should be regarded as criminal. Certain it is, that ranch of the sickness and suffering of mankind is due to the violation of certain of Nature's laws. But to say that' all sickness should be regarded as criminal, must appeal to very reasonable individual as radically wrong. It would be harsh, unsympathetic, cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor, weak, over-worked housewife who sinks under the heavy load of household cares and burdens, and suffers from weak nesses, various displacements of pelvio organs and other derangements peouliar to her sex. Frequent bearing of children, with its ex acting demands upon the system, coupled with the care, worry and labor of rearing a large family, is often the cause of weak nesses, derangements and debility which are effarav&ted by the many household cares, and the hard, and never-ending work which the mother Is called upon to perform. Dr. Pierce, the maker of that world-famed rem edy for woman's peculiar weaknesses and ills Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription says that one of the greatest obstacles to the euro of this class of maladies is the fact that the poor, over-worked housewife can not get th needed rest from her many household cares and labor to enable her to secure from the use of his " Prescription "Its full bene tits. It Is a matter of frequent experience, be says, in his extensive practice in these cases, to meet with those in which his treatment falls by reason of the patient's inability to abstain from hard work long enough to be cured. 'With those suffering from prolapsus, ante version and retroversion of the aterus or other displacement of the womanly organs, tt is very necessary that, in addition to tak ing hia "Favorite Prescription'' they abstain from being veiy much, or for long periods, on their feet. All heavy lifting or straining of any kind should also be avoided. As much oat-door air as possible, with moderate, light exercise is also very important. Let the patient observe these rules and the " Favor he Prescription will do the rest. Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay expense of mailing only. Send to Dr. E. V.
