IONDOX, Jan. 30. With Premier As fl'iitli on the continent and Chancellor Lloyd-George eloselj- following him. poli ticians are resting on their arms, dis cussing what lines of battle will be taken up in the hew Parliament. The moral preneraily drawn from the (lections Is that the country does not want radical changes in the House of I-ords or in the government policies. The spirit of conciliation, therefore, is abroad, and schemes lor a compromise are being derated. Conservative papers propose the most Interesting plan: That a joint cabinet be chosen from the mont moderate men of both parties to carry on the govern ment for two years, and that a truce bo declared on party , cjuestions in the meantime. A royal commission to in vestigate the countrj-"s llscal policy and to make recommendations regarding tariff reform is proposed. . Inherit Is Oppose Truce. The newspaper scheme of coalition- is not taken seriously by the Liberals who. having won a narrow victory, object to having their opponents dictate the pro gramme. Lord Roseherry's name' is put forward for the premiership in the com promise cabinet, but Hoseberry has for ft long time refused oilice, and his popu larity now is at a low mark because of his course on tho budget Issues. The rrforni of the House 'of Lords seems to be tho one tiling assured. iJotlt parties support it. The. lords themselves are willing to adopt moderate changes imme diately, lest refoms that would knock the' foundations from the upper house be carried. The result is likely to be the abyolition of the hereditary principle. Peers of the second generation are al lowed to vote only after they have dem onstrated their titness to legislate by service in tho House of Commons, in civil office or in the army and navy. The Conservatives are willing that the lords bo, .deprived .of the power to hold up taxation bills if the plan be adopted whereby no new legislation shall be in cluded in those bills. Veto Power Disliked. The Liberals want to deprive the House of -Lords of; the power to iveto any bill whatsoever. Their favorite plan would be to compel Hie lords to adopt any bill sent to them for the third time by the House of Commons, which, while making the 'House of Commons consider a re jected bill- carefully, would give that body the power to pass any legislation on which it had determined, In one. ses sion. It is taken for granted that the House of Lords will pass the budget, since the country has decided against the lords, on the fact of the election returns, but the cabinet may bp obliged to erase the whisky taxes to get tho votes of Irisii members. - Beyond the reform of the House .of Lords and the passing of the budget, Parliament is not likely to get far with anything. Irish members probably will obtain the Introduction of a home-rule measure.' but Conservatives will oppose that solidly, and a number of Liberals are pledged against home rule also. Several cabinet changes are probable when the new government is formed. Reginald McKenna. who has been un popular as first lord of the Admiralty, will likely be dropped. He may be given a peerage. Richard Burton Haldane, Sec retary of War, may become head of the navy. John Burns, president of the local gov ernment board, probably will succeed Robert J. Gladstone as home secretary. Winston Spencer Churchill will take the place vacated by John Burns, and each will receive a salary of J25,XK) Instead of 12,5O0. DAYTON IS CUPID CENTER Outside Young Men Write for Aid in Choosing Wives. DAYTON, Wash., Jan. 30. (Special.) This town has come into prominence from coast, to coast as a sort of matrimonial hub, wince the organization of the Blue Mountain Bachelors- Club three weeks ago. The late??t development in the club's affairs is the receipt of numerous letters from young men living in various cities and towns of the Northwest asking the club to put them in touch with "the other side of the market" and giving detailed descriptions of their health, wealth, age, and amiability. News that letters are being received from maidens In the K.st at the rate of 'Jo or 30 a dy has evidently emboldened bachelors who would force attention from the Dayton club. But members of the Blue Mountain Club, feeling confident in the assurance that each of them now has a choice of L';. or SO wives, are not selfish. Inquiries from young men are to receive the same attention, according to the secretary, as those from young women. It is prob able that many marriages thus will be arranged through the agency of the Day ton club. MORTAL SHOT IS PUZZLING Man Dead in Seattle. Woman Says Own Pistol Killed Him. SEATTLK. Wash.; Jan. 30. After working all day . on the case, the po lice have been unable to identify the man who was mysteriously shot and killed in a lodging-house in the lower part of the city late last night.

MEAT TO JUMP 1 CENT LB. Two AVeapons to Be XTsed In Fight Which Begins Today First Cur tailment of Shipments Seeond, Raising Wholesale Price. NEW YORK,- jan. 30. (Special.) Beginning tomorrow morning the big packing interests of the country plan to meet the fight on high prices of food with a counter attack that will extend to every center where a public demon stration has been made against prevail ing rates. In making its fight, the. pack ing contingent has decided upon two weapons. First, the curtailment of the shipments from packing centers into New York and other central points of the anti-high price crusade. Second, the raising of the wholesale price of meat, based shortage in the supply upon the alleged That this plan of action is the result of a general understanding is shown con clusively by the fact that all of the East ern representatives of the packers have received practically Identical instructions from their managers. These Instructions came upon the same day. They contained practically the same in formation and advice and they brought the unanimous order to fight and not to fear the movements under way to force a reduction in the figures placed upon all the products of the packing plants. An Inside man who knows from long experience the real situation in packing circles, declared today that the net result of tha public warfare upon the big men of the food world would be an immediate Increase of one cent a pound in all grades of meat. FOODSTUFFS TO DROP HEAVILY Meat Boycott Means Big Decline in Necessities of Life. CHICAGO, Jan. 30. (Special.) While prices of foodstults already have shown the effect of the agitation against high prices, and by the boycott in some quar ters on meat, retail dealers generally are of the opinion that with a week or 10 days' continuation of the ban. sharp declines in the retail prices are likely to follow. Already there has been a material re duction in prices of many important ar ticles. Among the articles that are be ing sold at reduced .prices to the con suming public are eggs, butter, pork and milk. In Chicago there has been no change in the prices of beef, except the poorer cuts, which have been slightly advanced. This is due, the dealers claim, to the fact that the poorer cuts are in greater demand than ever, notwithstanding the boycott on the higher priced beef. In the Eastern cities, however, - where the boycotters are more enthusiastic than in the West, beef prices have tumbled from 1 to 1 cents, and the demand has de creased in some cities 50 per cent. The cereal food manufacturers have been quick to grasp their opportunity, and almost every paper in the Eastern and Central states is carrying an adver tisement showing the qualities of some particular cereal product. N The decline in Chicago prices, dealers declare, is not due to local agitation, but rather to the effect of the outside move ment against high prices. Potatoes can now be purchased at 60 cents a bushel, or 60 per cent lower than at this time last year. Fish, with the exception of the frozen variety, is higher in price than a short time ago. An in creasing demand for the fish by the few who have stopped eating meat, is de clared responsible by the retailers. Trade at the stockyards on Saturday was brisk, and orders from the East for fresh meats were increasing. Some of the packers took this to mean that the "strike" had about played out. COUP IS BEING PLANNED (Continued From First Page.) the local authorities apparently knew nothing of each other's plans and activities.

It was also reported that the packers were warned of the impending investigation two days be fore the announcement to which Judge Landls took such emphatic objection. was made at Washington. CHINA'S PLAN UNCHANGED Petition for Immediate Parliament Denied by Throne. PEKIN, Jan. 30.

MAKES HER ARTLESS MAID Gives Her Salome Dance for First Time in America nad Tells of Her Idea of Translation of Music Into ltytlinilc Motion. NEW YORK, Jan. 30. (Special.) Maud Allan, the American girl hailed as the most graceful dancer on the stage, has given her Salome dance for the first time in this country with great success. It ditfers from the flood of Salome dances, good, bad and in different that have interested, aroused or bored America since first imported from France. According to Miss Allan's idea of the dance, Salome is-a little girl, possibly, not more than 12 years old, who dances before King Herod at the bidding of her mother, and who has none of the weird love for the prophet that in the other dances ends in a morbid burst of passion over the severed, bleeding head of John the Baptist. Makes Salome Little Girl. "My conception," said Miss Allan, "is that of an artless little girl who has no idea of the awful thing she has done in asking for the head of John the Bap tist after her movements have pleased the king. When the prophet is dead, and she realizes that it is through her that this has been brought about, she Is overcome with remorse and fear. "A vision appears to her of the prophet, which I portray more by sug gestion and lights than as an actual visitation, and, according to the cus tom of the country, she offers him first her cheek to kiss, as a symbol of for giveness, then her Hps and finally her body. Music Translated; Into Motion. "When the vision takes no notice of her, she is puzzled, grows full of won der, is just a little piqued, and finally becomes a convert to the religion of the prophet. The changes in her thought I Indicate in the dance, and her final sue- A'4H.;L''.iwuW'WWBi!Wp.i AM.A.V. LQM YOUNG ceptance of the new faith is a supreme burst of glorifying transfiguration." Miss Allan is a woman tall and slender, with- a suppleness of body and limb that approaches the marvelous and which Is so skilfully utilized that every motion, every posture and every line takes on grace and beauty. Anything more won derful than her hands in grace and sup pleness has yet to be seen from any dancer. Nothing that she does suggest.- the sensual or the animalistic, but all Is invariably pure and beautiful In the Im pression made. Intelligence is back of everything Miss Allan does, and makes meaningful and significant her every movement. Her effort seems to be to translate the music she hears into rythm and motion. She enters easily into the feeling of the composer, and her appreciation of the art. both of the music and of., her in terpretation, is keen. BIRD POACHERS SOUGHT Cutter Thetis Visits Paciric After Feather Gleaners. Isles HONOLULU. Jan. 30. The United States Revenue Cutter Thetis, recently stationed in these waters, is on a cruise to. Midway Islands, between here and Midway. As a part of her business she is investigating "the reports of extensive poaching operations by Japanese, who are said to have destroyed millions of birds for the sake of the plumage. On Bird Island. Neckar Island,' Gardi ner, French Frigate Shoals, Laysan and Lfisianski islands,, are swarms of goneys and other birds, and all the Islands were Included in a '"Hawaiian Islands Bird Reservation," by the Federal Government some months ago. Since then there have been reports of continued poaching, and it is suspected that some of the poachers are Japanese who have headquarters here. The birds are valued for their skins and some of them for their feathers. Within about a year nearly all of the Japanese sampans have been fitted with power engines. They frequently remain out of port for days together, and there have been sus picions that some of them visit the bird islands. TOM JOHNSON HAS NURSE Report of Cirrhosis of Liver, How ever, Is Xot Confirmed. NEW YORK. Jan. 30. Tom L. Johnson, ex-Mayor of Cleveland, was found here today at the. Hotel St. George. It was said at the desk that Mr. Johnson, his1 wife and a trained nurse had been guests for 10 days. Confirmation of l report that Mr. John son has cirrhosis of the liver is lacking.

NEGROES PLAN TO RULE Continued From First Pare.) and to prevent their acquisition of land in Cuba. In one of his impassioned ora tions he denounced the influx of American settlers and bewailed the coming time when "where now were Cuba's virgin forests, there would be clearings, ringing with the laughter of golden-haired Anglo-Saxon children." Senator Sangullly is for "Cuba for the Cubans." Hotel Trouble Serious. Fears of a race conflict, growing out of the recent disorders resulting from the refusal of the management of the prin cipal hotel In Havana to entertain ne groe?, have, in a great measure, abated, possibilities of further trouble having practically disappeared. For a few days the situation was threatening, and there was a strong undercurrent of indignation among negroes' which. It was feared, might not be kept in check. That not only was it restrained, but the difficulty fOD the present also successfully smoothed over, is mainly due to per sonal efforts of President Gomez. The President sent hig secretary to con fer with the management of the hotel and summoned to the Palace General Ce breco and other negro leaders. He pointed out that the intrusion of negroes where their pres?nce was not des?ired was un dignified and merely served to rouse the animosity of Americans with whom it was highly desirable that all Cubans remain on the most friendly terms. He also reminded the negro leaders how much the Drosueritv of the Cltv of Havaiia fwaa dependent upon the number of Amer- Pending removal to our new store in Electric Building We offer Electrical Devices 147 SEVENTH STREET Portland Railway Light & Power Co. lean tourists, whom any danger pf social disorders would deter from coming. Negro Leaders Faclfic. The press appealed to all patriotic Cu ban negroes not to persist In enforcing their rights at the cost of the rest of the community. The result was that the negro leaders engaged to use their Influence, to prevent their fellows from further inter ference with the hotel.
