6 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1907. SENATORS TO GET PLUMS THIS FALL Many Desirabie Vacancies Will Exist on Senate Com mittees. 2HANCE FOR NEW MEMBERS Pest Places Go to Older Men Prob abilities of Pacific Northwest Members to Get Good Bertha Compared and Discussed. OREGONIAN NEJWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Oct. 10. An unusually large num ber of vacancies on the more important committees of the Senate and House of Representatives will have to be tilled when Congress reassembles in December, and out of this vast array the Pacific Coast, and particularly the Northwest, should receive, and probably will receive, some material benerit. Because the Northwest has never learned the lesson of selecting good men and keeping them In Congress, it has never received that recognition on committees to which its Importance entitles It. The East, and particularly New England, long ago dis covered the advisiblllty of sending strong men to Congress and keeping them there, and in consequence New England is stronger on committees than any other section of the country. Senator Fultou. of Oregon, and Senator Plies, of Washington, are well placed on committees considering the fact that they are serving, their first terms, but both could better themselves and both will better themselves toy reason of the fact that they outrank a considerable number of Senators of shorter terms. Senator Ankeny and Senator Heyburn have never received much recognition In the -way of committee places: not such recognition s they deserve In view of the fact that they have each served through two congresses. Each should be promoted in December, for there Is ample opportunity to place them on some of the leading committees where they toe long. Senators Borah and Bourne. Considerable Interest will center around Senator Borah, of Idaho, and Senator Bourne, of Oregon, the two new Senators from the Northwest who have not yet taken their seats In the Senate. New Senators never get much recognition on committees when they enter the Senate, yet because of the large number of de sirable places the Senate could afford to give each of them at least one good com mittee assignment. Under the rule, both will receive chairmanships, but they, will be chairmanships of small committees. Of the really big committees of the Senate, there are vacancies to be filled on appropriations, agriculture, com merce, finance, foreign relations, immi gration, judiciary, public buildings and grounds, and interoceanlc canals. All these committees are desirable, and the ! Pacific Northwest is not represented on any of them save commerce and immi gration. The probabilities are that If any of the vacancies on finance or for eign relations go to the Pacific North west they will be conferred upon one of the older Senators; it is hardly likely that either Bourne or Borah could secure places on these two committees; the same is also true of appropriations. But new Senators have been appointed on the other committees heretofore and may be. this time. Borah for Judiciary. Senator Heyburn would , like the vacancy on Judiciary, a place for which his new colleague is eminently fitted. One or the other may succeed in landing it. Borah's prominence in the Haywood trial and his recognized leadership of the Idaho bar will count in his favor, though his colleague's service in the Senate will handicap him. It may be that Senator Fulton or Senator Piles may get this vacancy if the Idaho Senators are unable to agree. Some one of the four should get it so that the Northwest could be represented. In all probability the vacancy on the finance committee will go to Senator Crane, of Massachusetts. Senator Bourne has cast longing eyes towards that mlgbty place, but the Senate does .not give such high honors to new Senators, and It Is not expected it win do so this year, especially as Crane has his heart set on the place, and has sufficient pull to land it for himself. Foreign relations, however, is within the reach of Fulton or Piles or Heyburn, and there is a possibility that one of the three will land this coveted position. This is the most dignified committee of the Si-nate, and one of the most influen tlan, handling all legislation and treaties having to do with our relations with foreign governments. Place on the Agricultural. The Agriculture committee Is a good assignment for Western Senators, and vacancies are usually filled by the ap pointment of new Senators." Both. Bourne and Borah stand a chance of landing on this committee. The same is true with Immigration, though this committee is hot so Important to Western men, for most legislation affecting Japanese and Chinese Immigration goes to Foreign Re lations, and it is chiefly in such Immigra tion that the Pacific Coast is now con cerned. However, the Immigration com mittee will assume unusual importance next session, for tliero will be a report from the Immigration Commission, which spent the Summer abroad, and It is more likely that radical changes will be proposed In the general Immigration laws, and this committee will have much ' to do with shaping up the bill. Senator Heybiirn Is. a member of the committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, and unless he relinquishes that place, the chances are that neither Ful ton nor Piles will be given membership thereon. It is a very desirable commit tee, because It handles the omnibus bills, which make appropriations for the pur chase of sites and erection of Federal buildings all over the United States, and membership Is considered to give the lucKy Senators a little extra pud on such matters. Every state Is clamoring for public buildings, and unless Fulton, Piles or Ankeny are placed on this committee this Winter. Senator Heyburn will have to look after the Interests of the entire Northwest. About half this committee is composed of Western Senators and this fact will handicap the men from Oregon, and Washington. v . Senator Piatt loses Chance. If Senator Piatt, of New York, were Senator in anything more than name, he would become chairman of the committee on Interoceanlc Canals, which has Juris diction over Panama affairs. But Piatt once before was passed over in selecting a chairman for this committee, and ' he will be again, the plum going to Kltt redge, of South Dakota. Senator Ankeny is a member of this committee, and it is hardly probable that another ' Paclfio Coast man will be chosen to fill the one vacancy. If so. It may be Fulton, Bourne, or Borah. More likely the place will go to Flint, of California, however, because the Sonata does not bunch men on committees as a usual thing. The supreme importance of the canal to the Pacific Coast is the only thing that would lead to the appointment of another Senator from a Coast state. Too Early for Plums. Just before the close of the last .ses sion. Senator Fulton, in addition to his other committee assignments, was 'named to succeed Senator Alger on the com mittee on Military Affairs. That ap pointment will probable preclude the ap pointment of another Northwestern man when that committee is reorganised. There is no way of telling at this early day how the Senate plums are to be dis tributed. The appointments are made by a special "Committee on Committees" that is organized every two years, and the makeup of that committee means a great deal. If a Senator has strong friends on that committee he Is apt to get good assignments; if he has no strong friends, he gets what is left over. It Is a gamble, to a large extent, with the advantage always In favor of the older Senators. New Senators are lucky if they get two fairly good committee assignments. As a rule they are made members of five committees, and chair man of a sixth, but the chairmanships of new men mean nothing more than a name, a room, a clerk and free station ery. It happens that' there are only two good chairmanships vacant. Interoceanio Canals, which goes to Kittredge, and Rules, which is in doubt. Spooner's re tirement left the latter vacancy, and the remaining members of that committee already have more desirable chairman ships. The new member will therefore become chairman. Of the moderately fair chairmanships to be filled, the best are Cuban Relations. Library, Pacific Railroads, Patents and Railroads. 2-YEAR-OLD RECORD BROKE Tramp Fast Forced to Feat by a Crippled Old Mare. LEXINGTON. Ky., Oct. 10. Tramp Fast, a 2-year-old colt by the Vramp. Is the new champion 2-year-old trotter of the world. He won the 2-year-old Ken tucky Futurity here today in 2:12, which is the fastest mile ever trotted in a race by a 2-year-old, but it required the great est struggle ever witnessed on the trotting turf to win. An eyelash in the first heat and a short head In the second heat gained the most "stirring victory of light harness horse history. Dorothy Axworth, so lame she could hardly hobble along. Is the heroine of the race, for she forced Tramp Fast to break the world's record to beat her. The leading Lady, favorite, was not in con dition for the race and broke badly in both heats.

As soon as the department can be re duced to its proper size the cjub will allow the classes to be resumed. There is activity In every line of athletic work at the club. The businessmen's gymnasium classes are comfortably fliled, and the regular senior class is nearly up to the limit. Tennis is the favorite sport for those not engaged in football practice. The courts are crowded, especially in the afternoon. The indoor athletic season will be opened with a club wrestling tournament to be held October 24 and 25. The tourney will be open to club members only. 1 Game With Alumni Saturday. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, Oct. 10. (Special.)

The undersigned Is not particularly excited by his old friend's recent stricture tn The Oresonlan upon the crawfish and its diet, but he ventures a suggestion by way of a brief response. That Intelligent authority. Mr. McKenna, tells us that the food of the crawfish is such that crawfish should not be eaten by human beings. Now many people revolt from eating pork because hogs consume so much filth, but does the filth consumed by the crawfish and the hogs go into our bodies when we partake of crawfish and hogs?

BORROWER DOES NOT KNOW Monopoly's Buyer Charged With Iargo Sums Without His Knowl edge William Rockefeller May Have to Tell About It. - NEW YORK, Oct. 10. Loans aggre gating $20,000,000, which the books of the Southern Pipe Line Company show were made to P. S. Trainer between 1S99 and 1905, became more puzzling of solution to Frank B. Kellogg, conduct ing the Federal suit against the Stand ard OH Company, today; when Mr. Trainer, taking the witness stand in the oil suit, testified that the money . had never been paid to him and that he had never heard of the account. The Southern's books showed that unsigned vouchers were received for these loans and that money was never handed back to the company. Mr. Trainer said that he was formerly crude oil purchasing agent for the Standard Oil Company and as such he purchased all the oil and sold it to the refineries. He said he acted in a similar capacity now for the Standard .Oil Company of New Jersey. All News to .Trainer. Mr. Kellogg called Mr. Trainer's atten tion to the various loans, amounting to over J30.000.000, which were made by the Southern Pipe Line Company and charged to "P. S. Trainer," and asked him to tell all he knew concerning the loans. "I do not know anything about these loans." answered Mr. Trainer. "I had an oil account with the Southern Com pany, but no money account. I never gave them any vouchers and never heard anything about the loans." Mr. Trainer said that he fixed the price paid for crude oil after consulting with John D. Archbold. vice-president of the Standard. These consultations were held daily, Mr. Trainer said, and after they were over he made public the market price of crude oil. Destroys Old Reports. - H M. Tilford. treasurer of the Standard Oil Company of California and president of the Continental Oil Company, when asked to produce the reports of the Conti nental Company, testified that whenever a new report was received he invariably destroyed the old one. The reports of the Continental contain Information re garding business done by competing oil companies. Mr. Kellogg will have a conference with Attorney-General Bonaparte at Washing ton tomorrow to discuss the progress of the Government's case against the Stand ard Oil Company. The resumption of the hearing found George Chesbrough. auditor of the Stand ard's subsidiary pipe lines, again on .the witness stand. He identified balance sheets and transcripts from records of the pipe line companies, showing gross earnings, cost of plants and other accounts. Mr. Kellogg said that he might call Wil liam G. Rockefeller, treasurer of the Standard Oil Company of New Tork, to give information concerning the loan of over $32,000,000 made last year and de scribed by the company as loaned to in terests other than Standard Oil. Borrowed Millions, Not Knowing. Mr. Trainer Bald he had been the crude oil purchasing agent of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey since August. 190S, and before that acted as purchasing agent of the Standard Oil Company of New Tork. Mr. Kellogg showed the witness bal ance sheets of the Southern Pipe Line Company having items charged to him under the head of expenses from 1S99 to 1906 varying from J3.50O.0O to J4.5O0.00O a year. Mr. Kellogg asked what the items meant, but Mr. Trainer replied that he did not know, that he never heard that these accounts were charged to him, and that he never gave a voucher for them. He said he purchased oil for the Standard and sold it to the refineries, lhe Southern Pipe Line Com pany purchased oil of the Eureka Pipe Line Company in the Southwestern field and pumped it to Philadelphia, selling it to the Atlantic Refining Company. In this interchange of accounts, he said some transactions might have been charged to him, but he had never heard of them. Fixes Price ot Oil. Mr. Trainer said that he fixed the price of crude oil in the Bast by noti fying the Joseph Zeph agency, in Oil City, Pa., what he was prepared to bid for crude oil. He said he purchased the credit balances of the oil producers at tanks and then sold the oil to refineries. LVER1 "The Factory Is the Place to gs. with S'-dnner's satin.

He sometimes paid out as much as $50,000,000 a year.- Mr. Trainer said he talked daily with John D. Archbold. vice-president of the Standard, about the price for crude oil, and that afterwards he announced the price. No one else was consulted regard ing the price. ARTHUR FOWLER ESCAPES Man Who Would Shut Out Japanese Leaves Asylum. SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 10. Arthur E. Fowler, former secretary of the Japanese-Core an Exclusion League, of Seattle, escaped Tuesday from the Insane Asy lum, at Stellacoom, and made his way to Seattle, where, it is believed, he has been hidden and is being taken, care of by friends. Fowler was arrested In Belllngham three weeks ago, examined by a lunacy board, and sent to the asylum as a maniac. This followed his fruitless at tempts to gain a followling for his pet scheme of Oriental exclusion through a league of mammoth proportions. He started his work against the Orientals in Seattle and enrolled the labor unions for a nominal membership fee. He ex pected to drive Japanese and Coreans out of this part of the country. Ultimately he hoped to drive them out of the United States. Fowler had been a cook, and always declared that he had once been an artist. His rise from obscurity to fame was literally made in a night. His new im portance as recognized leader of the ex clusionlst movement in the Northwest, together with overwork, is supposed to have unsettled his mind. Fowler escaped by a ruse. He climbed a tree that grew close to the asylum wall, and leaped to the wall, slipped down outside, and escaped. Oregon People at Chicago Hotels. CHICAGO, Oct. 10. (Special.)

Liodgemen, Assisted by Amateur and Professional Talent, Please 1000 Members and Guests. The spacious lodge rooms of the local Elks' Lodge, No. 142, were crowded to overflowing for the opening smoker of the Winter, held last night. One thou sand or more of brothers in Elkdom as sembled and were made exceedingly glad that they had come, for the programme of entertainment arranged by the com mittee, composed of Gustavus C. Moser, M. F. Donahue, Professor H. A. Webber, Julius J. Friendly and F. Guy Haines, certainly embraced a gloom-chasing list of attractions. Not a dull moment was there from the time the Hawaiian Glee Club orchestra opened the entertainment until the close. Waldemar Llnd's violin solo, Chopin's "Nocturne," the second number, brought forth a storm of applause and the Elks were not satisfied until the musician had rendered two or more encores. Follow ing this came Claire Monteith with a most acceptably rendered baritone solo.. Ralph W. Hoyt acted as accompanist. Miss Fay Balnter, one of the Baker Theater's ingenues, succeeded in pleas ing heartily the throng of Elks by her dainty little song entitled, "Bessie and Her Little Brown Bear." in which she was assisted by her sister, Mrs. H. A. Burgess, who accompalned her on the piano, and "Mr. Teddy Bear." Miss Balnter responded' to a hearty encore with "Thinking. My Dear." Master Alden, son of E. K. Alden, of the lodge, rendered a selection from one of the masters on the violin, in a most pleasing manner. The boy was assisted by his mother, who accom panied him on the piano. Al Watson & Company, from the Pantages Theater, made a decided hit with their sketch entitled, "The Dog Catcher." "General Hardtack on Guard." by Frank I. Hennessy, who was intro duced as "The old favorite of the Port land Elks," was punctuated by the lib eral use of blank cartldges fired by the singer, and made a decided hit.

The Sherrocks from Pantages, in travesty and second sight, and Hayes and Alpoint from the same sliowhouse. received unstinted -ap'plause from the audience. Professor Fred Rennick, of the Multnohaah Club, who acted as referee, was on hand with Harry Nicken and Olmar Dranga, two of his most promising pupils, who gave an Interesting three-round boxing exhibi tion, that caused a majority of the dignified brothers to climb the chairs to "see better." Nicken was seconded by William D. HameU and Dranga by Ed C. Johnson, both of the Multnomah Club. 1 Dr. Frank Enna sang "Any Old Time" most acceptably, and Ben Allen, better known as "Ivanhoe," sang the song "Ivanhoe" in his own inimitable style. Jean Wilson's illustrated song, "Love Me, and the World Is Mine," made a great hit, as did a sketch by Andrew G. Vaughn. At 11 o'clock the lights were turned out and the entire audience joined in the singing of "Auld Lang Syne." This was one of the most impressive cere monies of the evening. The subcom mittees called upon to serve the re freshments had their hands full all evening, and even Joe Day, who was selected to pass around the "Fairbanks cocktails" for the members having scruples, actually worked himself into a sweat. Taking everything into considera tion it was a most successful affair, and nothing but praise was heard on every hand for the excellent work of the committee. As to Certain Objectionable Notices.
