INVOLVES THE PRESIDENCY Smith Had Promised His Support ; Tor This Position, but Recedes Because Kay Will Vote for Chamberlain. SALEM, Or.. June 9. (Special.) Ap parently there is a big split In the Marion County delegation In the State , Senate, and It seems certain that as a result of differences over the election of United States Senator, T. B. Kay will lose the -support of Dr. J. N. Smith In his candidacy for President of the Senate,. It has been understood ever since the lust session of the Lefiislature that Senator Kay would be a candidate for President at the session of 1SKJSI, and .that he would have the support of his colleague Senator Smith. It has been supposed that Kay and Smith had an understanding to that effect. But the last few days have wrought radical changes. Kay has indicated his Intention to vote for Chamberlain for Senator and it is declared in political circles that if such Is Kay's intention Smith won't support him for President. Expects to Vole for Chamberlain. When asked about his position on the Senatorial question a few days- ago,. Kay said that in his campaign two years ago he declared that he expected to support the people's choice for Senator. This was not an absolute pledge and left him free to vote for some one else if In his opinion the conditions Justified. Kay still maintains the same attitude, and while not absolutely pledging himself says that he expects to vote for Cham berlain. Both Kay and Smith declined today to d'scuss the subject of the Presidency of ' the bt nate, but it is apparent that they are at outs. Mutual friends of the two Senators Know that the difference has arisen between them and believe that Kay's candidacy has been greatly weak ened by the loss of the support of his colleague. Complicates Fight for President. The other candidates tor President are Johnson of Benton and Bingham of I.ane (Statement No. 1) and Beach of Multnomah and Bowerman of Wheeler (anti-Statement men). The fight for con trol of the Senate will now become aft important contest, for the President of the Senate presides over the joint ses sions of the two houses when a joint vote on Senator Is taken. RUST HURTS WHEAT CROP "Weston Farmers Fear Yield This Year Will Be Cut Down. WESTON, Or., June 8. (Special.) Farmers In the Weston neighborhood are puzzled and somewhat uneasy over the appearance of what is feared to be rust, heretofore unknown here. Red dish spots have discolored the blades of the growing wheat, and seem to be rapidly spreading. Dale Glory wheat, a new variety here, largely planted last Kail, is affected the most. Red Chaff being troubled very little or not at all. In some instances, a field of Dale Glory will be tinted red by the rust, wlille there is no indication of its pres ence in a field of Red Chaff adjoining. A young Weston farmer, who was in Kings County, California, four years ago, says he saw a very promising crop cut down fully 75 per cent by rust throughout a. large district, and that the mysterious pest here has every ap pearance of being identical. He fears .' that It will soon spread to the stalk and cut off the sap, as it quickly did in California, Another farmer was fa miliar with rust in North Carolina, and says there Is no doubt that this is the .same thing. The rust seems to range along the foothills, and hae not appeared in the Helix and Cold Spring districts. The 'Weston country Is weedier than ever known before, grain is backward be cause of the prolonged cold weather -Just now becoming warmer, and it is likely that 35 bushels an acre will be considered a large crop this year, in stead of the 50 and 60-bushel yields common in bumper seasons.

DRUGGISTS RYE CENT FARE STANDS CIRCUIT COURT AFFIRMS RAIL ROAD COMMISSION'S ORDER. Railway Company Will Take Appeal to Supreme Court Judge Gallo way Explains His Decision. 3ALEM. Or., June 9. (Special.) Cir cuit Judge Galloway today affirmed the ruling of tho Railroad Commission in the Milwauklo carfare case and dis missed the injunction suit brought by the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company. The case will be appealed to the Supreme Court. The commission ordered present fares on the Milwaukie line reduced from 10 cents to 5 cents and from 15 cents to 10 cents. Judge Galloway held that as com pared with the rates charged on the Lents line for the same distance the rates are discriminatory. Incidentally, he he'ld that the contract by which the company is bound to charge not more than 5 cents on the Lents line is invalid, as against public policy, and the fact that the company can charge only that amount on that line does not affect the right of the Commission to regulate rates on the Milwaukie line. He also re marked, in giving his decision, that dif ference in original cost could not Justify a difference of rates on the two lines, for it appeared that much of the money spent on the Milwaukie line was ex pended injudiciously. The formal decree will be signed in Portland at 10 A. M. Friday, in the of fice of Commissioner Aitchison, and then Attorney Griffith will take an appeal on behalf of his company. .
