THE MORNIXG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, MARCH 1-4, 1913.
WILSON ADVISED TO
SHAKE PLUM TREE
Burleson to Ask Chance at
35,000 Jobs in Postoffice
Grants.
TWO SOLUTIONS VOICED
President Also Will Be Urged to Ig
nore Question of "Organiza
tion" in Making Choice
of Appointees.
WASHINGTON". March 13. President
Wilson's advisers have hit upon solu
tions of two of the political problems
confronting the Administration which
promised to Be most troublesome what
kind of Democrats shall get plums from
the political tree and how thousands
of Democrats throughout the country
can have a fighting chance at least to
get near the tree.
Within the next few days Postmaster-General
Burleson Is expected to
present for the President's considera
tion a plan which will open to Demo
crats the 35,000 third and fourth-class
postmasterships placed under the civil
service recently by Mr. Tart.
"Merit Test" May Be Applied.
Mr. Burleson said tonight that he had
not decided whether to ask the Presi
dent for a revocation of this order or
not. If he decides against asking for
revocation, he will suggest that post
masters who benefited by the Taft
order be required to pass a "merit test,"
which would be open also to others.
If the President took the first course,
thousands of postmasterships would be
available at once and If he chose the
other Democrats who entered, the merit
competition would have as good a
chance as Republican Incumbents.
Ever since Mr. Taft Issued his famous
order, which with a similar one by Mr.
Roosevelt put every third and fourth
class postmaster In the country in the
classified service. It has been sub
jected to vigorous criticisms by. Demo
craia, wno cnargea tnat Its purpose
was to keep in office through Mr. Wil
son's term thousands of Republicans
who were not In sympathy with the
Administration and who received suph
protection merely to keep the Republl
can political machine In working order.
"Organisation" Not to Figure.
Mr. Burleson and Chairman McCombs,
of the Democratic National committee.
have settled on a plan for patronage
distribution which also will be sub
mitted to the President shortly. If It Is
followed, the question whether a can
dldate for office Is backed by "organi
zation men" or "antl-organlzatlon men'
will not figure when he is weighed for
a place. The President will be advised
to go upon the principle that any man
who subscribes to the Democratic plat
form and shows his belief in Demo
.cratic principles, is politically fit for
office.
Personal fitness will be considered
first, but state factions or pre-conven-tion
alliances will have little effect.
This disposition has been shown In the
first batch of political appointments.
ome of the most prominent men whom
the President thus far has named op
posed his nomination in Baltimore.
Factional Lines Ignored.
The -appointment today of John Skel
ton Williams as Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury was viewed by callers
at. the White House as an example of
the selection of an Independent Demo
crat. The selection of Beverly T. Gal
loway to be Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture Is regarded as an appoint
ment In which political affiliations were
not considered, since he has served In
that department through several ad
ministrations. The nomination of
State Senator Franklin D. Roosevelt to
be assistant Secretary of the Navy re
calls his opposition on many occasions

Representative Edwin F. Sweet, of
Grand Rapids, was picked for the As
sistant Secretaryship of Commerce wVh

of the Michigan Democracy.
Action on the reappointment of Dr.
CP. Nelll as commissioner of labor
statistics was delayed further In the
Senate today when the committee on
education and labor decided to take no
action toward recommendation of con
firmation for several days. Senators
Tillman, of South Caronlla, and Over

against Dr. Nell's appointment.

SEATTLE, Wash, March 13. (Spe
cial.) Preparations for the greatest
slaughter of whales ever known in the
North Pacific along the Alaska coast
are now being energetically made and
seven big modern whaling steamships,
including the Norwegian floating whale
kitchen Admiralen. are being made
ready at Seattle to leave for the North
ern whaling grounds within the next
few weeks. '
In addition to the Admiralen, the
whaling steamships Unlmak, Kodiak,
Starr I, Starr II, Starr III and Belvldere
will leave from Seattle and It Is ex
oected that at least 1000 whales will
be caught during the season. Aa each
whale is worth JS000, the season's
catch should represent at least $3,000,
000 to the seven vessels engaged. Last
season's catch, with six vessels oper
ating, amounted to approximately 800
whales, and with more determined ef
forts this year even larger returns are
looked for.
The whaling Industry, which was or
ganized Into sew life by the adoption
of modern methods In Seattle last year,
has spread from this port all along
the Pacific Coast and vessels this sea
son will operate rrom urays iiaroor,
Trinidad and British Columbia, In addi
tion to those leaving here.
The Admiralen is equipped with ma
chinery to cook the whales, also ele
vators for handling the huge carcasses
and storage tanks for 4S00 barrels of
oil.
W. W. H. SAMSON DEAD
FIOXEER PASSES AWAX AT ORE
GON CITY.
NEW YORK, March 13. The South
ern Pacific Company, with the concur
rence of the Union Pacifio Railroad
Company, announced today a modified
plan of dissolution under the United
States Supreme Courts decree, in place
of the original plan-which recently met
with serious opposition on the part of
tae California Railroad Commission.
The new plan as outlined by Julius
Kruttschnltt, chairman of the Southern
Pacific Company, substantially provides
for a traffic agreement without track
age privileges to the Union Pacific
and Central Pacific.
In brief the Southern Pacific Is will
lng to carry Union-Central Pacific
traffic over the Benicia cutoff and its
California terminals, instead of allow
ing those roads direct use of this cut
off and Southern Pacific terminals.
Western PacMe Shot Out.
Incidentally, although this was not
referred to by Chairman Kruttschnltt,
acceptance by the Federal authorities
and the California commission of these
provisions effectually would bar out the
Western Pacific road, which has as
serted its right to the use of the
Benicia cut-off and Southern Pacific
terminals.
"The modified agreement," said Mr.
Kruttschnltt, "will be submitted to the
Circuit Court in the St. Louis district
on Saturday and complete details have
been telegraphed to the California com
mission." The agreement, it further was said.
has the approval of Attorney-General
McReynolds and Southern Pacific offi
cials are hopeful of its acceptance by
the Circuit Court and the California
authorities.
Stock Market Hears New.
Chairman Kruttschnltt" s announce
ment followed a day of unusual activity
at New York headquarters of the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific lines. Some
intimation of its Import became known
In stock market circles shortly before
the close and was followed by a spurt
In the so-called Harrlman shares, espe
cially Union Pacific Union Pacific
directors held two meetings, a special
conference to act on the new agree
ment being called for the late after
noonand lasting well into the night. .
Robert S. Lovett, chairman of . the
Union Pacific road, declined to com
ment on the new plan, but It was inti
mated that a statement dealing with
the latest developments probably would
be Issued after another meeting of the
Union Faclfio directors scheduled for
tomorrow.
Failure of the Federal Court and the
California commission to accept the
new plan by Saturday midnight will
involve the forfeiture of $1,250,000,
which the Union Pacific agreed to pay
an International banking syndicate or
ganized by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. to finance
the sale of Its Southern Pacific hold
ings, amounting to $125,000,600.

SPONGE LAW CASE UNIQUE
Seven Tears After Operation Action
"Halted by Limitations Statute.
CHICAGO, March 13. If a sponge is
left in the abdomen of a patient after
an operation and is not discovered for
seven years, does the statute of limi
tations apply from the date of the in
sertion of the sponge or the date of the
discovery.
That is a question which United
States District Judge Carpenter was
called upon to decide today. It arose
in the case of George N. Montgomery,
of Jacksonville, Ala., against Dr.
Charles E. Kalke, of Chicago. The
plaintiff avers that the physician neg
ligently left the sponge in the abdo
men after an operation for appendicitis.
Seven years later, Montgomery says,
physicians found the sponge and re
moved it.
Attorneys for the defense Insisted
that the statute of limitations had ex
pired in the case, averring it began to
apply at the time of the original operation.

SCHOOL WORK IS SUBJECT
There are a lot of
men who can afford
to pay 25
for a suit of clothes, who pay
$15 or $18. They think
they're economizing; but
saving money in that way
isn't real economy.
We recommend the suits we
make to sell at $25; we believe
in raising the standard of value
as a means of lowering the cost
of living; a $25 suit gives more
than $10 better service and sat
isfaction than a $15 suit; to say
nothing of the effect in increas

Mark Norris Tells of System
Grand Rapids, Michigan.
at
Mark Norris, lecturing on the schools
of his home city of Grand Rapids, Mich.,
at the Public Library last night told
how, by Introducing business effl
ciency Into the management of the
schools, $40,000 was saved the first year
that the new system went Into effect
in Incidental expenses alone, without
impairing the educational efficiency
of the schools.
Two features of the school system of
Grand Rapids were dwelt on in detail
by Mr. Norris the open-air schools
and the vocational guidance feature.
He said that the system In use had
been to broaden the view of the chil
dren, give them a serious idea of life
and Its responsibilities, and help many
of them to enter useful occupations
on leaving the school.
Edward McGee Ftonnd Dead.
Edward McGee, 45 years old. and
supposed to be well-to-do. was found
late yesterday dead In his home, 830
East Eleventh street. He had been
dead nearlly a month, and residents
nearby, fearing because of his absence
that he had met with foul play, had
organized a hunt for him. Warren J.
Kinder, his neit door neighbor, living
at 828 East Eleventh street North,
found the body, which was removed to
the undertaking rooms of Dunning &
McEntee. Death is said to be due to
natural causes. No Portland relatives
have been found.

WEED BRANCH TO BE SOLD
Acquisition by Southern Pacific Pro
vided for in Agreement.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 13. Modi
fied plans for dissolving the Harrlman
merger of the Union Pacific-Southern
Pacifio properties, as submitted to the
California State Railroad Commission
tonight, differ only slightly In their
larger aspect from the original plans
put forward by the Harrlman execu
tives, approved by ex-Attorney-General
Wlckersham and rejected by the Cali
fornia Railroad Commission, which
upheld the objections of the Western
Pacific, a unit In the Gould system of
railways. They avoided, however, the
stumbling block in the path of the first
proposals, namely, an exclusive lease
by the Southern Pacific to the Central
Pacific of the Benicia Short Line be
tween Oakland and Sacramento, the
western terminus of the Central Pa-
cilic system, which another clause of
the agreement provided was to be ac
quired by sale by the Union Pacific,
thus giving the last named system a
direct outlet on San Francisco bay for
Its transcontinental traffic.
The amended plans were submitted
to the Commission at 8 o'clock tonight
by counsel representing Robert S.
Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacific
executive board. From authoritative
sources of information it was learned
earlier that the Union Pacific would
avoid the difficulties explained by seek
ing permission for an agreement to
reach San Francisco bay over the
Southern Pacific's alternative line, via
Stockton and Nlles,
In general, the modified proposals
were understood to Include the follow
ing specifications:
1. Lease by the Central Pacific to
the Southern Pacific of the line from
Tehama north to the Oregon boundary.
2. Lease by the Central Pacific to
the Union Pacific of all Its California
lines, except the line from Tehama
northward, as specified.
3. Sale by the Central Pacific to the
Southern Pacific of the branch line
from Weed, CaL, to Klamath Falls. Or.
None of these specifications affects
the sale of the Central Pacific to the
Union Pacific, which, in Its National
and Interstate aspects, is conceded by
the Commission to be a matter out
side Its jurisdiction. These provisions.
It was believed, would be found to in
clude substantially the amended plans,
and the Intimation was that they would
be acceptable to the Railroad Commis
sion. The Western Pacific was asked to
send representatives to the hearing.
The Califorina State Railroad Com
mission tonight gave a contingent
statement of the attitude It will as
sume. 'The answer Is contingent upon
the points, which now appear vague,
being as represented . by counsel for
the Union Pacific, these points respect
ing principally the rights of competing
roads on the Benecia cut-off, and upon
the attitude of the Attorney-General
of the United States and the Federal
Courts upon the sale of the entire
Central Pacific stock to the Union Pa

hundred girl strikers at the Strauss
woolen mills on the outskirts of this
city held up a trolley car tonight and

BOYS HELD FOR ROBBERY
DAVTI) CURTIS AND WILLIAM
SHADRICK ARE CAUGHT.
One Confesses to Recent Burglaries,
Involving Other Also; Prisoners
of Good Families, Is Belief.
Two boys, 19 and 20 years old, mem
bers of a cram; of three whose opera
tions are believed to cover the 20 re
cent early evening and afternoon bur
elaries. in which loot worth 35000 was
taken, were captured last night by De
tectives John Moloney and Hammersley
after George H. Lewis, of 545 East Oak
street, one of their victims, nao. traced
them to their homes. They are David
Curtis, of 455 East Ankeny street, and
William Shadrick, living at the Bel
more Hotel, whose parents reside in
University Park. Both are reform
school students.
One of the two made a confession
In which he placed blame for the bur
glaries of the home of Lewis, the home
of C. Fallas. at 400 Clay street, and
bungalow on Tenth street, in Hood
River, Or., upon himself and his com
panion. Other burglaries he refused
to confess, although the operations In
the houses burglarized indicate that
others of similar methods In the past
month are also their work.
Lewis' home was robbed Saturday
afternoon, and one of the two arrested
told Lewis, after the capture, how they
"hung around," until they saw the last
member of the family leave, and then
entered the place.-They took a suitcase
belonging to Lewis, and in It a quantity
of clothes, jewelry and personal posses
sions. Lewis picked up the trail of his
stolen possessions in a pawnshop, and
from it traced the boys.
Unbalked by the fact that the de
tectives took little stock in bis discov
eries, Lewis kept on, and at the address
given in the pawnbroker's list, came
upon one of the two young men. Then,
with Detectives Moloney and Hammers
ley, he stayed in the house five hours
last night until the other young man
came in early this morning.
Both were charged with vagrancy.
and held in the jail until further trac
ing of their operations can be done
this morning. Both young men are of
good families.

Believing from general report tnat
Mr. Lombard was an "antl," I merely
meant to compliment his sagacity In
leading anti women out to register and

ought to be true of every man who
aspires to securing office largely
through the women's vote.
I am not nosing as a partisan. I

hoping to bring him out with an open

will unite In holding a mass meeting
