THE MORNDfG OREGOXIAN, TITTIRSDAY, MAT 10, lOTO. REGULARS UNITE WITH DEMOCRATS Insurgent Senators" Beaten by New Combination to Pass Rate Bill. STATE RIGHTS RESPECTED One House Amendment Adopted by - Aid of Democrats, AVho Will Xame Terms for Agreement o Push Bill Through. WASHINGTON, May 18. Abandon ing: all hope of reaching- any common understanding on the railroad bill with the Insurgents, the regular Republi can Senators moved an early adjourn ment of the Senate today to permit the Democrats to get together to con sider propositions looking to the com pletion of the bill. Before adjournment Aldrich made an effort to obtain an agreement to take the final vote next Wednesday, but there were several objections and the request was not pressed. It Is the general understanding about the Senate Chamber that the Democrats will be asked to assist In expediting' the bill by permitting amendments to be laid on the table, by refraining from speechmaking, and by other means, with, the understanding that in return the last three sections of the bill, relat ing to capitalization, would be with drawn. Democrats Eager for Action. The Democratic Senators have op posed these provisions because of their supposed infringement on states' rights. Many of them are anxious to dispose of the bill and are willing to resort to any proper means to hasten its pass age. The Democratic conference was at tended by about a dozen of the Demo cratic lawyers. After considering propo sitions advanced by the Republican regulars, they decided to submit their views to their colleagues In time to con sider any suggestion that may be made at tomorrow's passion looking to the fixing of a day for a final vote on. the bill. As a result of the day's labor the Sen ate accepted by a majority of 17 votes the House provision regulating the de fense of cases arising out of the orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission as offered and amended by Smith of Michigan and as later modified at the suggestion of Hughes of Colorado. This provision, as it passed the House, places the conduct of such cases in the hands of the Attorney-General and per mits the Interstate Commerce Commis sion to intervene. Combination Beats Insurgents. As offered In the Senate Mi y Smith, the provision was modified so as to permit ample notice to the Commission and he accepted afterwards a. suggestion from Hughes which also permits the inter vention of shippers or other parties at interest, and not only prohibits the Attorney-General from discontinuing such cases without notice to the intervenors, but authorizes them to proceed with the case, even after the Attorney-General may have withdrawn from It. The vote on this combined provision of the .Michigan Republican and the Colo rado Democrat stood 40 to 35. Thirty seven of the affirmative votes were cast by Republicans and the other three by Fletcher, Hughes and McEnery, Demo crats. Ten of the negative votes were by Republicans. Beveridge, Borah, Bourne, Bristow, Burkett, Clapp, Cummins, Dixon, Dolllver and LaFollette. Concessions Win Democrats, The success of the Smith-Hughes pro vision was admittedly due to the adop tion of the House section, which is gen erally conceded to be more favorable to shippers than was the provision of the original Administration bill. Without some concessions, it would have been impossible to get any Demo cratic votes, and a considerably large number of Republican votes would have been lost. Indeed, until the change was made there was a fair prospect of defeat of the original proposition and for the success of the Cummins amendment sub stituting the Interstate Commerce Com mission for the Government as the de fendant In the cases. ' More Time to Fight Advances. In addition to action on the defense provision, the Senate also accepted an amendment proposed by Aldrich, ex tending from 60 to 120 days the period during which the Interstate Commerce Commission may suspend for investi gation any new rates or classifications made by railroad companies. This also was a concession in the Interest of the shippers and was accepted without di vision and without debate. ' Rayner made a sharp onslaught upon the Smith-Hughes amendment and suc ceded is arousing Hughes, who resented what he construed to be an intimation that he was "lined up" In favor of the House plan. Subsequent explanations led to a more amicable understanding and the incident closed with assur ances of mutual good will. POLO PLAYER IS SUICIDE Son of Sir Claude Champion de Crespigny Shoots Self.

Dr. Marcel Pletrzycki, who last week deeded to this city 40 acres for a City Park, today bought and gave to the city the Rock Hill stone quarry, pronounced by State Geologist Landers to be the finest quarry in Eastern Washington. This is the most important sfep taken looking to good roads, in the history of Columbia County. Work will be begun at once improving the channel of the Touchet River where It basses through Millions of Lives Lost An Awful Toll Collected by Consurnption. Many Un necessary Deaths ; from : this Disease If people could only understand that systemic catarrh is an Internal disease that external applications cannot cure, they would not need to be warned so j often about this malady, which, when neglected,, paves the way oftentimes for consumption,-at the cost of mil lions of lives every year. Yet catarrh may be cured, if the right treatment is employed. j Catarrh is caused by a general dis eased state of the system which leads commonly to annoying and perhaps serious local conditions, which may prove a fertile breeding ground for germs of consumption? External reme dies give, but temporary ease. The only way to successfully treat catarrh is by employing a medicine which is absorbed and carried by the blood to all parts of the system, so that the" mucous membrane or internal lining of the body is toned up and made capable of resisting the infection of consumption and other diseases. We have a remedy prepared from the prescription of a physician who for thirty years studied and made catarrh a specialty, and whose record was a patient restored to health in every case where his treatment was followed as prescribed. That remedy is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are so positive that it will completely overcome catarrh in all Its various forms, whether acute or chronic, that we promise to return every penny paid us for the medicine in every case where it fails or for any reason does not satisfy the user. We want you to try Rexall Mucu Tone on our recommendation and guar antee. We are right here where you live, and you do not contract any obli gation pr risk when you try Rexall Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes, 50 cents and $1100. Very often the tak ing of one BO-cent bottle is sufficient to make a marked impression upon the. case. Of course in chronic. caseH a longer treatment is necessary. The average In such instances Is three $1.00 bottles. Remember you can obtain Rexall Remedies In Portland only at our sto're, The Rexall Store. The Owl Drug Co., Inc., cor, 7th and Washing ton Sts. Dayton. Contracts will be let for build ing stone -embankments on both sides of the river for more than a mile. Macadamizing of streets and roads will be begun at once. The committee which is raising funds for proposed improve ments' obtained $1500 more today in a few hours. TUNNEL WORK DROPPED HARRIMAN X.IXE TO USE HIIiTj GATEWAY TO TACOMA.

ROADS TO .BOOST RATES Transportation Companies Propose Advance of Ten" Cents a Hundred Pounds on All Forest Prod ucts Action Expected. WASHINGTON. May IS. Indications point to a retrial before the Interstate Commerce Commission of the North Pa cific. Coast Lumber cases, which con sumed much time before the commission nearly two years ago. Originally the cases grew out of an advance in the' rates in forest products by the transcontinental railroads amount, ing to an average of about 10 cents a hundred pounds. The shippers of the Pacific Northwest complained to the commission of the advance. The commission issued orders condemn ing the indr3p.se of rates from points in Washington and Oregon to points east of a line drawn north and south from . Pem bina. N. D., to Galveston, Tex., but al lowed an advance of 5 cents 'a hundred pounds on shipments from the same points of origin to destinations east of that line. These orders were made ef fective for two years from the date of Issue and iwill expire Oct. 15 next. Information has reached the commis 'mm, -" " lit:. -if &crSiCft For any suit in our $35 $40 or $45 line of goods colors and guaranteed goods sion that the transcontinental lines, in cluding the Harriman lines, the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, propose at the expiration of the two years' limit of the orders, again to file maximum ad vances on lumber and minimum ad vances on other commodities. The proposed advance will be approxi mately 10 cents a hundred pounds on all forest products. . The statement is made by the roads that they are forced to this advance by the recent increase in wages and by the general increase in the cost of operation. The lumber interests, particularly of the North, Pacific states, will contest bitter ly any advance over present rates. The action of the commission nearly two years ago was not unanimous In de claring the advance unreasonable. REVOKE MARRIAGE LICENSE Clerk Charges Those Who Swore Girl Was 19 With Perjury.

Every letter of this sort has the most careful consideration and is regarded as saeredly confidential. Many sensitively modest women write fully to Dr. Pierce what they would shrink from telling to their local physician. The local physician is pretty sure to say that he cannot do anything without "an examination." Dr. Pierce holds that these distasteful examinations are generally need less, and that no woman, except in rare cases, should submit to them. Dr. Pierce's treatment will cure you right in the privacy of your own home.
