SOUTH OPPOSES MEASURE
Objections Raised to Amendment for
Equal Franchise Not Sustained
I by Examples in States
! Where Women Vote.
: OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March 4. The cause of woman
suffrage was championed in the Senate
today by Senators Thompson. Owen
Chamberlain and Sherman, who spoke
In support of the proposed Constitu
tional amendment to give women the
,-. vote in all states.
Senators Reed and Vardaman prob
ably will speak against the amendment
tomorrow, when a vote may be reached,
As author of the proposed amend
ment. Senator Chamberlain told of the
Influence of women who have the bal-
lot. In response to a. question by Sen
, ator Reed, the Oregron Senator agreed
' that the recent reforms in his state
were inaugurated before women re
' ceived a right to vote.
- Tribute Paid to Iln. Dnnlvray.
; Senator Chamberlain paid a high trib
; Ute to Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway.
In part Senator Chamberlain said:
"Much has been said about the cor
rupting influence of equal suffrage on
; good women of our land, and that in
' 'the very nature of things if suffrage
V is given women it will result in the
- neglect of home and fireside. The first
-' address I ever heard delivered on the
' subject of woman suffrage in Oregon
- was by a distinguished woman wbo is
now living, who is now loved and hon
ored by every man, woman and child
. In the state, Mrs. Abigail Scott Duni
; way.
I "She was then a young woman rear-
ing a family. She found time in addi
'; tion to household duties which de-
1 volved upon her. to give much of her
energy to the cause of woman suf-
- frage.
Family Not IVeglected.
' "In these early days home life was
not an easy life and whilst she was
- devoting her time to training and edu
" eating her children all domestic affairs
which are now done in many homes by
hired help was done by this magnifi
cent specimen of Western mother, and
; in her duties and in the efforts she
; made in the cause of woman suffrage
7 she found time to raise a splendid fam
ily of children.
"As evidence of that I call attention
to the fact that one of her sons is
president of one of our Western uni
versities and is highly respected and
2 honored wherever known. Another is
a prominent lawyer in my own city,
distinguished for his ability, refine
ment and training; another is a dis
tinguished business man of the West:
. another was elected State Printer of
' Oregon on two separate occasions and
t discharged every duty that devolved
: upon him up to the time of his death,
as the son of a splendid woman should
discharge those duties. Aside from
that her daughter attained the same
distinction in her waik of life that the
; sons attained in theirs.
f Kinmple Dixprovri Charge.
' "I simply state this to illustrate the
. fact that there is nothing in the charge
that when woman is gfven the right
to vote she is thereby compelled to
. neglect her domestic duties and duties
. which she owes to her family. I feel
honored in this opportunity to say this
much of this distinguished woman who
lives today beyond the age of 80, loved,
respected and honored, and after hav
ing lived to see the cause for which
she has battled so long finally adopted
in the state of my adoption."
: The attitude of some Southern Sen
.: stors was indicated in the course of
L-the discussion when Senator Vardaman
Baid "the negro question may compel
- me to vote against this amendment."
; Senator Thompson told his colleagues
.' that "none of the oBjections raised
against woman suffrage ever mate
rialized in Kansas.
RecordH In Office Good.
"Only a few of the women sought
- official positions," he said, "but when
they did obtain them, instead of male-
i ing failures as was expected, they in
" variably make the best officers We had
In the state.
"About one-half of the counties have
women county superintendents of
schools and probably one-third of the
rounty officers have women deputies.
Without exception the business record
of these women has been good and
their industrious efforts to improve
schools, sanitation and morals and to
- provide safe, efficient and economic
public utilities for their towns have
been generally approved and aided by
the men of their community."

MILWAUKEE. March 4. Helen Sher
man, a waif, who for two years has
been a charge of the Wisconsin State
Industrial School, now has a real home.
Her foster father is Charles Page, a
millionaire of Tulsa, Ok la.
Aliss Mary J. Berry, superintendent
of the industrial school, recently
referred in Helen's hearing to the
philanthropic work being done by the
Oklahoman. remarking that he had
adopted in the neighborhood of 300
poor children.
"He is my uncle." interpolated the
girl, much to the astonishment of her
auditors.
Supsequent investigation by Miss
Berry revealed that the girl had told
the truth. The uncle was communicated
with and he promptly adopted his niece.
Mr. Page is said to have declared that
he intends to adopt 1000 children.
ADJOINING LAND TAX SAME
Uncultivated Ground Must Pay As
sessment F.qnal to That of Tilled.
SALEM, Or., March 4. (Special.)
Attorney-General Crawford, in an
opinion written at the request of T. J.
Thrift. Assessor of Coos County, holds
that uncultivated land of the same
character and quality of contiguous
cultivated land should be assessed at
the same value for taxation.
He said, however, that the rule would
not apply where the land contiguous to
cultivated land was covered with tim
ber or otherwise radically different
from the other.

WILSON'SFOES FIGHT
Vigorous Opposition to Tolls
Reversal Is Manifested.
SIMS BILL TO BE REVIVED
Majority Leader Underwood Against
Repeal but Will 'Sot Organize
Opponents Chamberlain to
Oppose in Senate.
WASHINGTON. March 4. Resolu
tions were adopted by both houses of
Congress today providing for a joint
session tomorrow at 12:30 o'clock to
hear an address by President iison
urging the repeal of the provision of
the Panama Canal act exempting Amer
ican coastwise shipping from tolls.
President Wilson's determination to
urge this reversal of policy with regard
to tolls by a personal appeal to the
Congress stimulated interest in the
controversy today. Democrats who
intended to fight against repeal planned
to carry on their struggle with vigor.
For several days it has been apparent
that the President has been gaining
converts to his decision that toll ex
emption is In violation of the Hay
Paunccfote treaty, which provides that
the canal shall be for the use of all na
tions on a basiB of equality.
After the President has read his mes
sage it will be referred to the House
committee on interstate commerce.
which will draft legislation to carry
out his recommendation. It is ex
pected that the committee will revive
a bill by Representative Sims, of Ten
nessee, introduced at the last session,
which would provide for flat repeal of
the toll exemption.
Although some opposition to the bill
will develop in committee, it is assured
of a favorable report. Many Demo
crats, including Majority Leader Un
derwood, oppose the repeal, but Mr.
Underwood has announced he will not
attempt to organize the opposition. He
intends to speak against it, however.
From the Democratic side in the Sen
ate' the opposition will be directed by
Senators O'Uorman. chairman of the
committee on interoceanic canals, and
Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon. Sup
porters of the repeal have assured the
President that the bill will pass both
houses.
POSTAL BILL COMPROMISED
Maximum of $J00 a Month for
Rural Carriers Agreed On.
WASHINGTON, March 4. Disputed
points between the House and Senate
on the postoftice appropriation bill were
compromised today. The measure
was accepted by the Senate and went
to the House for final passage.
The Postmaster-General would be
empowered to fix the time limit for de
livery of parcel post in congested zones.
The pay of substitute clerks and car
riers was compromised at 35 cents an
hour and the J1200-a-year maximum for
rural carriers was agreed on.
DIAZ MEN ASK FOR HELP
(Continued From First Page.)
ise, if- possible, from the American
Government that it would uphold Diaz
and recognize him if the counter-revolution
succeeded. Several members eof
the committee characterized the prop
osition as preposterous.
The reported murder of two American
citizens Gustav Bauch, by the consti
tutionalists, and Clemente Vergara by
Mexican fedelars still are unexplained.
General Carranza's promised inquiry
into the disappearance of Bauch has
not materialized, while the Huerta gov
ernment has failed to clear up the
mystery surrounding the alleged kid
naping and killing of Vergara.
Texas iiovrrior Answered.
A request by BGovernor Colquitt, of
Texas, on the federal Governor of
Nuevo Leon for the extradition of those
responsible for the kidnaping of Ver
gara, made today, occasioned much
discussion in official circles here. The
Texas Governor had asked the State
Department to tell him what it looked
upon as the legally constituted govern
ment in Northern Mexico for by the
special treaty with Mexico, extradition
proceedings can be carried oa between
Governors in adjacent border states
without reference to the American
State Department.
Secretary Bryan suggested to Gov
ernor Colquitt that he might ask for
the extradition of J:he offenders from
"the Governor of Nuevo Leon," leaving
it to the Texas Governor to determine
who that individual was. The extra
dition has been asked for on the charge
of horsestealing. State Department
officials say that under the treaty the
offenders, if extradited, could r!bt be
tried for murder, because Vergara was
slain on Mexican soil.
Asked about the status of the com
mission of American and British rep
resentatives who were to have exam
ined Benton's body. Secretary Bryan
said the question was "in status quo."
He added that confirmation had been
received by the State Department from
American Consul Simpich of the ap
pointment by General Carranza of a
special commission to proceed to Chi
huahua to make an investigation of
Benton's death. It is considered prob
able the commission will await the out
come of the inquiry.
PROJECT SITE VISITED
REPRESENTATIVES OF TWO STATES
AND GOVERNMENT MAKE TRIP.
Borlnsa Being; Made to Teat Nature of
Pretmntptive Foundations Use for
Power to Be Considered.
THE DALLES. Or.. March 4. (Spe
cial.) Representatives of the United
States Reclamation Service and the
States of Oregon and Washington were
in the city yesterday to investigate the
work which is being done on The Dalles
power project. They visited the site
of the proposed dam for the power
project. The party consisted of K. P.
Hopson, of Portland, supervising en
gineer in the reclamation service for
Oregon and California; State Engineer
Lewis, of Salem; W. E. Morris, of
Portland; State Senator Day, of Port
land, chairman of the Oregon Commis
sion; State Representative 'Abbott, of
Portland; O. H. Ensign, of Los An
geles, chief electrical engineer of the
Reclamation Service for Oregon and
California, and James Allen, of Seattle.
L. F. Harza, project engineer for the
Oregon State Commission, and. the com
mission representing the Federal Re
clamation Service, has established of
fices in this city, and has a force of
draughtsmen working in his offices, as
well as a gang of men at work at the
proposed dam site. The men at Five
Mile Rapids are using diamond drills
to bore holes for testing the rock
formations on which the dam would
rest. Mr. Harza's investigations will
cover not only an investigation as to
the practicability o the project, but
the amount of power that could be
utilized in the territory adjacent to
the plant.
It is believed that if the plant should
be found practical the greater part of
the 300,000 to 600,000 horsepower de
veloped could be disposed of to manu
facturers of nitrates.
ART COLLECTION GUARDED
Fifty WaU-Iimen and Two Detectives
Protect $50,000,000 Paintings.
NEW YORK. March 4. It became
known today that unusual precaution
is being exercised by the Metropolitan
Museum of Art to guard the ?50.000.000
Morgan collection now on view in that
institution.
It is said that the protective ar
rangements would make virtually im
possible repetition of the Mona Lisa
theft in the Louvre Musuem, with Ra
phael's Colonna Madonna the possible
subject in this instance.
Fifty special watchmen, well armed,
and two police detectives are protect
ing the collection. In addition elec
trical alarms have been installed, con
necting Are and police headquarters
and different parts of the building.
CAR ROUTING IS DISCUSSED
East Burnside Residents Denounce
Installation of AVnter Meters.
Removal of streetcars from Burnside
bridge was considered yesterday at the
luncheon of the East Burnside District
Association, and it was decided to ask
Dan J. Malarkey, author of the State
Railway Commission law, to ascertain
if there is any relief under the law.
The water meter system was dis
cussed at length. All but one present
opposed the meter system and declared
that the installation of meters will be
an unnecessary, expenditure of money.

WAGE SCHEDULE REVIEWED

Salary, bnt Refuses to
Tell True Amount.
HOUGHTON. Mich.. March 4. Denial
that strikebreakers had been imported
against their will or that they were
kept in ignorance that there was a
strike In the district was made today
to the Congressional committee inves
tigating the copper strike by Ocha
Potter, superintendent of the Superior
mine.
Mr. Potter said he had brought 1700
or 1800 men from seven states to take
the place of strikers; that he had em
ployed 75 per cent of these men per
sonally and had made it plain to all
that a strike was in progress here. He
had asked that guards accompany the
strikers on the trains solely to protect
them from sympathizers and that ail
who wished to leave the train were
permitted to do so.
Low Wage Scale Denied.
Figures from the books of the min
ing companies were introduced by
counsel for the operators to refute
testimony by strikers as to the low
wages paid the men. A. E. Petermann,
of counsel for the companies, asserted
these figures proved that the general
wage average was higher, even though
wages received in certain months were
low. He also read figures in support
of his contention that it was the cus
tom to pad contracts when it was found
that the miners were unable to make
fair wages because of unexpected
changes in the character of the rock.
It became known today the strikers
will introduce Charles H. Moyer, presi
dent of the W estern Federation of Min
ers, at the eharing in Chicago to give
testimony regarding the deportation in
cident. The committee will begin hold
ing night sessions tomorrow.
MeNauKhton's Salary Not $100.0OO.
James McNaughton, general manager
of the Calumet & Hecla Company, re
fused to tell the committee what salary
he drew. He shook his finger at the
members and said:
"Iti s not $100,000; otherwise it's none
of your affair and I won t tell you.
Mr. Hilton had explained that his
reason for asking the question was
because it had been reported that Mr.
McNaughton's salary was $100,000 a
year, and if it was true that he was
getting such a sum while men were
"working for him in the mine for as
little as 20 cents & week, he thought
it ought to be shown.
Representative Casey asked the wit
ness if he had any objections to telling
the committee what his salary was.
"Privately, no," replied Mr. McNaugh
ton. INTERFERENCE IS DESCRIBED
Employe of Miners Kays Pit 'oin
' mi Ice Reduced Efficiency.
WILSONBURG. Colo.. March 4. "Un
der a contract with the United Mine
Workers of America, about all a mine
operator has to do is to pay the miners
what they ask, dig up the money to do
it, and rind a market for what little
coal they produce."
Thus did E. U. Bettis. operator of the
Independent Royal Gorge mine in Fre
mont County, summarize his experience
under union conditions between Octo
ber 7 and December 22, 1913. Bettis
signed a contract with the union after
the strike was called and his men went
back to work.
Mr. Bettis told the Federal inves
tigating committee that during the
short period in which his mine was
operated under contract the "pit com
mittee" of the union constantly inter
fered in the dealings of the company
with its employes to the detriiment of
production and the discipline of the
men. He said as a result of this inter
ference the miners actually earned less
under union conditions than they had
under the open shop system.
On one occasion, he said, the pit com
mittee caused the mine to be closed for
a night because the union wanted the
miners to attend a meeting of the local
organization. He tes titled that the
union tried to prevent him from selling
coal to an electric light and power
company which furnished power to his
mine, giving as a reason the fact that
the electric company also furnished
power to the Victor-American Fuel
Company.

Take a Glass of Salts if Your
Back Hurts or Bladder
Troubles You.
No man or woman who eats meat reg
ularly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a well
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which excites the kidneys, they become
overworked from the strain, get slug
gish and fail to filter the waste and
poisons from the blood, then we get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver troubie, nervousness, dizzi
ness, sleeplessness and urinary disor
ders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or If
the urine Is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast and in a few days your
kidneys will act fine. This famous salts
Is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate the kidneys, also to neu
tralise the acids In urine so It no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
ktdneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications. Adv.
