THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 1910. PlfJCHOT LIKELY TO BE SUMMONED Democrats Expected to See That Forester Is Made Witness in Hearing. MEMBERS AFTER GLAVIS Kinkaid and Mcl.achlan W ill Seek to Set , Themselves Riglit AYhen Examination Is Resumed. 'o Programme Outlined. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. When the ex amination of L. R. Glavis ia renewed be fore the Ballinger-Pinchot Investigation committee It Is expected that some new striking features will be brought out re warding charges against officials' of the Interior Department. It is expected that Representative McLachlan. of California, and Representative Kinkaid. of Nebraska, either directly or through, friends of the Investigating committee, will put Mr. Ulavln through a gruelling examination in an effort to free themselves of certain suspicions. Mr. Glavi9 testified yesterday that, af ter having been Commissioner of the Iand Office, Ballinger had acted as at torney for Mr. Kinkaid. In regard to Mr. McLachlin, Mr. Glavis testified that Mr. 'Ballinger had suggested tew him that the Investigation against the California member be not pursued, as there had been "too much of that sort of thing in the past." Nelson at Helm. There was no meeting of the committee today, and. so far as future proceedings are concerned, they will be directed en tirely by Senator Nelson, chairman of the committee. No programme has been adopted, so far as is known, the chair man preferring to let the Investigation lake its own course. Other witnesses are to be called this week, but their names are not disclosed. It is regarded as certain that several officials- and employes of the General Land Office will be summoned and the list of witnesses probably will include Government employes from other depart ments having jurisdiction in questions connected with the land and conserva tion programmes. Democrats 3Iay Call Pincliot. There is much speculation whether Gil ford Plnchot will be called to the stand. He has been an interested attendant at the proceedings and has followed the evi dence with the greatest care. It is be lieved that Democratic members of the committee will see to it that Mr. Pln chot is summoned and will seek to make as much political capital out of his testi mony as they can. "We are going to the bottom of the whole question," said Representative Ollie James, of Kentucky, a Democratic member, tonight. He declined to dis cus the plans made by the Democratic members of the committee to insure a thorough inquiry. PIONEER WOMAN IS DEAD Mrs. Mnry I. Haines, 7 1,- Passes Away at Eugene. EUGENE, Or..

But to the entire colony, the flood means irretriev able ruin. At a meeting of the Municipal Council today, one of the members protested agalnBt exaggerations being spread in various countries, representing that Paris would become a vast necropolis after the water subsided because of the germ-infected houses. It Is pointed out that the government has taken the most elaborate precautions and there is absolutely noth ing to fear if the public follows instruc tions issued by the Board of Health. Late tonight the fall of the Seine had a noticeable effect in several streets, which are no longer navigable. The ris ing of the water, on the other hand, con tinued. There is a large quantity of water now in the moulding chamber of the Louvre Museum. In the Ninth. Arrondissement a series of powerful pumps was installed to remove water from several banks, but residents who feared this would make conditions in their own cellars worse, gathered in force and slashed the hose with knives. They finallywere driven off by the police. AMERICANS SAFER IX PARIS Consul-General Mason Tells State Department to Leave I Unwise. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. That Ameri cans are safer in Paris than if they tried to leave the city, is the answer given to many inquiries received by Mr. Mason. Consul-General, through the State De partment. In a cablegram received by the Secre tary of State, Mr. Mason suggests that Americans remain in Paris until condi tions become settled. He has found no instance in which any American has suf fered seriously. PO MAY OVERFLOW ITS BANKS At Some Points Already Landslides Have Occurred. ROME, Jan. 30.

GIRL JUST LONELY Cohen Only One to Comfort Roberta De Janon. HE GOES' BACK TO JAIL After Mother's' Death, Child, It Is Said, Was Coldly Treated by Her Family Walter's Wife Has Forgiven Him foe Eloping. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30. (Special.) Ferdinand Cohen, the - Austrian Jew who traversed the country in company with Miss Roberta Buist de Janon, the 15-year-old heiress, was remanded to Jail again yesterday, as he reported his inability to secure the $25,000 bail un der which he is held on the charge of kidnapping. Miss De Janon, so far as can be learned, is still an occupant. of St Agatha's hospital, where she was taken immediately after returning from Chi cago, to be treated for a nervous breakdown. However, she was not so badly broken down that she Could not hurl snowballs at passersty the follow ing day. "Tootsie," her beloved fox terrier, is with her and she has come to the conclusion that she loves "Tootsie" more than she does Cohen, the little, old, gray-haired waiter. People here who are acquainted with the facts In the case say that if the girl's people treat her with as much consideration as did the Jew waiter, they will have no fear of her running away again. The child has been terribly lonesome since her mother's death and it is in timated that her own people failed to sympathize with her at times when she was most desolate and In need of sym pathy. After the ca-se against Cohen is disposed of. it is said she will be sent to some school, perhaps in Europe, until she becomes of age. Cohen's wife has forgiven her husband and now threatens to sue the De Janon family if they persist in punishing him. How eVer, inasmuch as she has forgiven Cohen, it is difficult to see where she would have a case of alienation of af fections. o Italn and Snow Wet Moscow. MOSCOW, Idaho, Jan. 30.

' - Ac- CONGRESS LIKELY TO GLOSE EARLY Opposition to Taft Policies; May Cause New Ar rangement. PARTY LEADERS UP IN ARMS House and Senate Divided, Members Pushing Various Legislative Mea- snres With No Sign of Har mony or Unanimity. WASHINGTON. Jan. 30. Little head way has been made in the two months that Congress has been in session toward the enactment of important legislation demanded by President Taft; yet on every side are predictions of an early adjourn ment. Thoughtful members are asking each other what kind of a reception they will get if they go to the White House on April 15 or May 1 with plans to quit work for the Summer, if .the adminis tration programme is unfilled. The question is one that Congressional leaders admli. is giving them deep con cern. The absence of unanimity of thought on almost every one of the President's measures is such as to make exceedingly difficult the work "mapped out for those who have the billy in charge. v Opposition Seen to Many Bills. Bills to create a court of commerce and amend the railroad rate laws to es tablish postal savings banks, to validate withdrawals of public lands wanted for conservation purposes and to legalize Na tional charters for corporations doing in terstate business have met with deter- I mined opposition. rrora a political point oi view, itepurj lican waters seemingly are becoming muddied by the several Investigations In progress and the minority members ap pear not unwilling to let this procedure continue indefinitely. Inquiries such as that being made into the affairs of the Interior Department and the Forest Service naturally is hav ing some effect upon plans to amend land laws and enact legislation for Alaska and even to some extent on the Arizona and New Mexico statehood bill. Other investigations, such as those re lating to second-class mail matter and the Postoffice deficit, and causes of in creased costof living, tend to minimize a complete redemption of Republican campaign pledges. A conference of Re publican leaders is being considered, and probably will be held soon after Sena tor Aldrich returns from Florida, as he is expected to do this week. Vigorous means will be advocated to restore some semblance of order to the chaotic condi tions. Taft Policies May Be Changed. The plan most in favor with such Re publican leaders as are now in Washing ton is for a rearrangement of the Taft policies, placing them in order of exec utive preference or in such sequence as it is thought would most benefit a ma jority of the party. It has been declared that no progress will be made so long as some leaders are pushing interstate commerce legislation, others conservation policies and others postal savings banks or Federal incorporation laws. At present the House Is occupied with appropriation bills; in the Senate two Administration measures the postal sav ings bank bill and the Alaskan legislative council are being placed against each other. Opposltlqn has developed against both, and Republican leaders say the present tactics affect the chances of both. The statehood bill is ready for con sideration by the Senate and the Army appropriation bill will be reported to morrow. The several propositions before the House for the elimination of Speaker Cannon from the committee on rules and for the enlargement of the committee form a basis of informal discussion. No one Is willing to predict when questions involved in these resolutions will come to a "show-down." There are various ways in which the matter could be brought up on the floor, and it may be precipitated suddenly or be deferred for weeks. Many members of the House are ab sent on account of approaching primaries in their districts. Naval Committee Divided. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. There is some hesitation among members of the House naval committee as to the Navy reorganization plan submitted by Secre tary Meyer. Members are divided on the question and some will probably seek to make changes in the plans. BANKERS OF COUNTY UNITE Chehalls Entertains Financiers From Rest of County. CHEHALIS, Wash., Jan. 30.

Coffman, of the banking firm of Coffman, Dobson & Co., of Chehalls, the pioneer banker of Southwest Washington, gave some interesting reminiscences. W. S. Short, of the Security State Bank, Chehalls, spoke on "Banking Hours." Sid ney Anderson, of the Security State Br.nk. CheheliB, spoke on "The Lady Customer." A. S. Cory, of the Chehalis National Bank, spoke on "Exchange and Collections." There followed a discussion of the sub ject of city and county warrants. A preliminary organization of the bank ers was formed with N. B. Coffman, of Chehalls, president, and J. E. Lease, of Centralia, secretary. An executive com mittee of one from each of the banks in the county was named to prepare "con stitution and by-laws for a. permanent or ganization.

R. & N., died at his home In Spokane Thursday night. His remains were brought to this city for cremation Saturday. Through hla long service with the O. R. & N.. Mr. Shultz was known by hun dreds of Portlanders, and every man who ever knew him was his friend. He was born in New York 51 years ago. and began railroading as a boy. Nearly all of his service with the O. R. & N. was on the run between Pendleton and Spokane, and there are few people who have lived long on that route, who can not recall some kindly" favor extended by "Dan" Shultz.

Victim Thompson Will Iilve, Though He Suffers Bullet-Holes In Lung and Cheek. Manley Thompson, the victim of the two holdup men who robbed the Twelve-Mile House and shot Thomp son at the Seven-Mile House Friday night, may recover, according to Dr. E. H. Anthony, who has been attending him. Thompson was in good condition last night, considering his severe injuries, and no traces of blood poisoning had been seen. Thompson has a bullet hole through his left lung and another through his cheek. No trace has been found of the two men who performed the double crime last Friday night. Fred T. Merrill, pro prietor of the Twelve-Mile House, says he has a good clew on which he is now working. He now believes the larger of the two men knew him but did not know Mrs. Merrill or at least did not know her very well. "Those men knew my every action on the day of the holdup," said Mr. Merrill, last evening. "They knew I was away or they never would have attempted to hold up the place. I have learned now that someone called up my home and asked whether or not I would be at the Twelve-Mile House at night. They were told that I would not be, as I was going to the Jeffries' exhibition. Then at 7:30 someone called again at my home and asked if I were to be at the place. Again the same answer was given and they further said I would be leaving town at 11:30. "Now those men knew I wouldn't be there that night and that I wasn't pre pared for them. They wouldn't dare come when I was there, and you can say for me I will give them as much as they got if they try the same job when I am at the house. I am pre pared for them all the time and I know it was someone who knew this who did the work. "One of the men the smaller man said to the larger man on the way to the place, 'Mrs. Merrill won't recog nize my voice, but Merrill would. Haddley, the chauffeur, told me this and that is on what I base my theory. Now I am after them and I believe we will get them. If we do we will be able to prove it." "I'm sorry that the name of Pink Domino has been dragged into this. He is at Lebanon now working in a blacksmith shop and is a reformed boy. He has been as straight as a string and I know he was there on Friday night. Mrs. Merrill says neither of these men either looked or acted like Pink Domino. He is all right and I am glad I saved him." Two men were arrested by Sheriff Stevens yesterday on suspicion, but these were released when Chauffeur Haddley did not identify them. ARRESTS TO BE DECIDED work. The livers and the stomachs of Young Swope and his father, Thomas Swope, have been examined thoroughly, but the test Is going further than that. There are many organs in the viscera of the body which could absorb and hold poison, and It Is my opinion that several of these have been examined in addition to the stomach and the liver. "However, the Indications are that the scientists believe they will have every thing ready for the men from Kansas City or they would not have sent a tele gram demanding their presence In Chi cago Monday morning. I believe that re port will be given Monday." John G. Paxton and John H. Atwood again refused to discuss the case. Virgil Conkling, Prosecuting Attorney, said: "As to an arrest in this case. I cannot eay that there will not be any before the Inquest is held, and I cannot say that there' will be one. Everything depends upon the conference in Chicago.. At that conference conditions may arise that will occasion the need for an arreet at once. I don't believe conditions will become crucial enough to demand any action at once, and the probability is that all the evidence will be .submitted to the coro ner's jury before warrants are made out by the District Attorney's office.
