There was but one discordant note in today's proceedings, and that was when Victor L. Berger, the Socialist delegate from Milwaukee, openly opposed the re election of President (rompers, declar ing that he was "leading the Federa tion into paths of danger." It was perfectly understood that Bergcr simply voiced the sentiments of his own or ganization, which had instructed him 10 "oppose Oompers to the last." Old Officers Ite-elccted.

MEANS .C, 000, 000 MOKE WAGES Kxtensive Kffcct of Advance Given iSteelworkers. PITTSBl'RG. Ta.. Nov. 24. Two million dollars additional each year win be dis tributed through the Pittsburg steel dis trict by reason of the increase in wages of the labor force of the United States Steel Corporation, which goes into effect January 1 and which was announced by the Associated Press last night. The notleo of advance will be posted in the steel mills in the neighborhood about December 1. A conservative estimate of the total number of laborers employed by the sub sidiary companies of the United States JSteel Corporation in what Is known as the Pittsburg district is 50,000. The in crease will affect all the men in the class of common labor employed at the num erous plants of the Carnegie Company, the National Tube Company, the Ameri can Sheet Company and the American Steel & Wire Company. REFUSES MEN TEN-HOUK DAY Reading Road Reaches Limit of Concessions to Trainmen. READING. Pa.. Nov. 24. The Reading Railroad Company rejected the demand of the trainmen for a 10-hour day. The men were told that the company had granted them a substantial increase in wages and made a number of other con cessions and. in view of this fact, nothing further could be expected for the present. The men affected are employed in the freight and eoal train service. They num ber several thousand. I Ike Devoid of Violence. YORK.

Nov. 24.-The Ute In dians who have teen traveling through South Dakota Into Wyoming in defiance of the Government's orders arrived at Fort Meade today, accompanied by the Sixth United States Cavalry. Tonight, they are camping on the Government reserve, having been given provisions and clothing by officers at the fort. HUNG LONG OFF STRAITS (Continued from First Page.) the river caused the loss of their ships. The manner in which these vessels were lost removes them from the list of craft which might have suffered through any physical or artificial dis abilities of the port. Iverna Improperly Ballasted. Of the other vessels of the storm tossed fleet it is not clear that either serious delay or damage has been ex perienced except by the Iverna, and her delay, as previously related, was due to an insufficient amount of ballast and a badly fouled bottom. This econom ical practice of some shipowners in sending their vessels to sea with an Insufficient amount of ballast to keep them from capsizing has cost the lives of two Columbia bar pilots, along with the entire crew of the British ships Cadzow Forest and Andrada. WMth both of these ships the pilot before going on board called attention to the dangerously light draft of the ves sels and expressed misgivings regard ing the outcome. In the case of the Cadzow Forest, Pilot John Grasman was exceptionally bitter in his comment on the owner who would imperil the life of his crew in order to save the expense of a few tons of ballast, and his last words be fore he boarded the vessel were: "I would rather be a tugboat deck hand at 140 per month than to pilot such ships at $1000 apiece." Another contributing factor in the delays suffered by some vessels Is the failure of the captains to familiarize themselves with the facilities of the port. The instructions carried by some of the captains who came here this year were based on conditions which, existed in the days of the Flavel regime. These instructions tell the shipmaster to refuse pilots from the schooner and take only those from the tugs. As a result the schooner has this season engaged in a great many wild chases after vessels which, had the masters known the true situation, would have been glad to haul into po sition and take a pilot. The Galena was chased more than 60 miles by the pilot schooner, and throughout more than a day's run paid not the slightest attention to the schooner, and the night before she struck the beach she was at dark heading straight for destruction. The pilot service could be Improved by the removal of some of the dead timber, but shipowners and shipmasters could also help matters by becoming posted on the situation. In view of the experience of the Puget Sound fleet we might reasonably expect a cessation in the "knocking" to which this port has been subjected by some owners who Btill seek to avenge past wrongs by the infliction of a differential not Justified by conditions now existing. COLD SHOULDER FOR BOB (Continued from First Page.) publican Senators are not going to how down to him; they are hot going to listen to his assaults and then elevate him to a position of leadership. But how to subdue him is a question. There is danger that La Follette, if loo severely punished, will pose as a martyr and reap the martyr's reward. The Senate would not want such a result. Therefore the perplexity as to how to solve this problem. Personally La Follette will have a cold reception from Republican Senators, but from the experiences of the last session it is assured that he will be warmly received by the Democrats. La Follette's assaults upon Republicans are balm to the members of the minority and they were pleased to extend the glad hand to him. But just what to do with him the Republican's will not be able to decide in a hurry. True, his lineup with the Democrats would warrant them in ex cluding him from the Republican caucus, and, having been elected as a Republican, he could not enter the Democratic cau cus. That would leave him in the posi tion of a man without a party. But to exclude him from the caucus would make him a martyr, and that is to be avoided if possible. Indeed La Follette wodld make capital out of such a move: It would probably strengthen him in some quarters and would encourage him to con tinue his attacks upon his colleagues. La Follette, the martyr, would be an even greater drawing card on the lecture platform than La Follette, the reformer, and Senators generally don't want to ad vertise the La Follette series of lectures. The majority in the Senate can, and probably will, see to It that La Follette's pet legislation is pigeon holed: he will be kept on insignificant committees; he will not gain admission to the party coun cils, and lie will not be welcomed among Republican Senators. That is probably as far as the Senate will go. Neverthe less in these matters it can make things uncomfortable for him. The Senate has wondrous ways of showing its disap proval of upstarts, and it has squelched other ambitious new Senators before. It probably never had as hard a case to deal with as it will have this Winter, but it is one Senator against 0; these are tremendous odds. The past session of Congress failed to develop a single Republican Senator in symapthy with La Follette. That was before La Follette traveled the country o'er attacking Republican Senators in their homes. He is sure to have no Re publican friends, now that he has totally ignored Senatorial etiquette and Sena torial courtesy. While the Senate will probably prevent.La Follette from carry ing out his pet schemes, the resourceful "Bob"will worry his Republican associ ates not a little. But he has not chosen the course that leads to fame; it may lead to notoriety. DOWN THEY GO. The prices on ladies' tailor-made suits at Le, Palais Royal. Wonderful bargains.

MR. AND MRS. J. K CRONAN AND FAMILY. LT M Justice Gaynor Wants Trust Officials Imprisoned. "GREATEST CRIME OF AGE' New York Supreme Magistrate Thus Characterizes Favoritism In Freight Rates His Boston Speech Creates a Sensation. BOSTON, Nov. 24. (Special.) Jus tice Gaynor, of the New York Supreme Court, who was the principal speaker at the Economic Club dinner tonight, created a sensation by declaring that the present system of punishing cor porations while letting their guilty officials escape is stirring up class hatred. "Any favoritism in rates is absolute ly unlawful and' always was," said Justice Gaynor. . "The only new law we needed on that head was to enable us to put In prison railroad officials who should be found guilty of such favoritism. Inasmuch as we now have such laws, the prosecution of the cor poration Itself a mere name that has no physical body to be put In prison, instead of the guilty officials is not having a good effect on the public mind, to say the least- It is the guilty railroad official, however high and even though he may have risen to a high place in the councils and gov ernment of the Nation, or if he be only the local station agent -in a village, he should be prosecuted. "This favoritism in freight rates is the greatest crime of our day. To al low one man or set of men to have their freight carried over public high ways at a rate so much lower than his competitor as to enable him to under sell his rival and drive him out of business, is so heartless and damnable that we -shall be looked back upon by our descendants and by the future his torian as a generation lost to morality for allowing such a condition so long." COMPANY PAYS THE FINES Law Fails to Punish Railroad Offi cials for Rebating. CHICAGO, Nov. 24. (Special.) Rail road officials fined by Ue Government for rebating do not pay the fines them selves. The stockholders pay the bills'. Such at least is the case of the Chi cago. Burlington &' Qulncy, according to evidence submitted today to F. K. Lane, of the Interstate Commerce Com mtsison. The evidence was taken in connection with the punishment of the railroad recently by a $40,000 fine and of First Vice-President Darius Miller and Traffic Agent C. C. Burnham by fines of $10,000 each on charges of re bating. Today's hearing came tip on a charge that $20,000 of the road's funds had ww. iiaad trt. nov XT lllor'o flnH Rlirn- ham's fines. "Solicitor Dawes, of the( road, paid the fines , to Clerk Mac Millan of the United States Court." testified General Auditor Sturgls. "He tendered a $60,000 check signed by Cashier W. F. Fabian. It was accepted in payment of all three fines. The amount of the check was not entered as a single amount on the books. It was placed In the 'correction of freight earnings' account and spread over two months, April and May. The account contained entries necessary in errors in accounts of freight earnings claims arising through demands on over charges and the like. The $60,000 was Bpread over two months that the monthly report of the road that car ried the freight might not show too large a reduction for a single month." Railroad Man Hard on Rebates. KAN9AS CITY. Mo.. Nov. 24. Arthur E. Stlllwell, president of the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Railroad, addressing the Railroad Club here last night, denounced the practice of rebating. He said: "Of all crimes in the whole category, the rebating crime Is the most unjust. Re bating strikes at the people the fountain head of the rights delegated to the aver age railroads. The hired assassin of old may be pictured as a white-robed saint compared with the rebatcr. I'd like to see the rebater get 20 yes 50 years in the penitentiary." Indicted Grain Men in Court. MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 24. Counsel for the grain firms and railroads in dicted here recently appeared in the District Court here today. All were given a week in which to plead or de mur. DOWN HARVARD, 6 TO 0 (Continued from First Faice.) ball, only to' lose It on an attempted forward pass tho play that the Yale men had been working so successfully. Rip Vp Crimson Line. Yale started in to rip up the crimson line and succeeded in keeping the ball in crimson territory, but heavy penal izing for holding and off-side kept them back. At this stage both sides fell to punting. Burr proved handy at this and Harvard invaded the blue territory in a businesslike manner. Getting the ball on her own 20-yard line, Yale failed to gain in two at tempts and on the third was penal ized 15 yards, the ball being taken to Yale's 3-yard line. Veeder punted from behind the Yale goal, which ended with the ball In Yale's possession on her own 18-yard line. Here the blue was again penalized 15 yards apd the ball was again taken to Yale's three-yard line. Again Veeder booted the oval out of danger from a position behind his own goal. Dines went In at quarter in place of Jones, and casting aside all attempts at the new style game, Yale waded into the Harvard line and began to rip It up for steady gains. Re inforced by several fresh men. who were run in at this stage of the con test, the blues started a parade down the field and it looked like a certain touchdown for the Yale team, when the whistle ended the game with the ball in Yale's possession on Harvard's 15- yard line. Minnesota 8, Indiana 6. MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 24. (Special.) Minnesota nosed out a victory in the gridiron contest against Indiana on Northrop field today by a score of S to 6. Minnesota toy a peculiar combi nation of circumstances secured two safeties and a goal from field, while Indiana by a fluke scored a touchdown and afterward kicked goal. Each team claimed additional points, Minne HEM sota another field goal, and Indiana another touchdown. FIND THEM TRUE SPORTSMEN Eugene Football Players Royally Treated at The Dalles. The Second football team of the Univer sity of Oregon arrived in Portland early yesterday morning and left on the morn ing train to attend the Oregon-O. A. C. game. The players were loud in their praise of the treatment they received at The Dalles, both on and off the field. The game was a hard one with little advantage to either side. The Dalles boys made more yardage, but Oregon held at critical times. The final score of 6 to 5 tells the story of the game. One of the players said: "From reports we expected to go up against a team of young prize fighters with crowds of armed 'bunchgrassers' on the side lines ready to 'shoot us up' if we made a showing against the home team. But we were treated royally from the time we landed in the town till our departure. Manager Stubling and the en tire Dalles team did everything to make our stay pleasant. The decisions of the officials were fair and impartial. "We expect to bring The Dalles team to Eugene next year and will shgw them that we appreciate the treatment ac corded us while in The Dalles." TWO CLOSE BILLIARD GAMES Cutler Defeats Taylor, McLaughlin Disposes of Peterson. NEW YORK, Nov. 24. Both of today's games in the 18.2 balk-line billiard tourna ment for professionals were close. The earlier game between Albert G. Cutler, of Boston, and Alexander Taylor, of Chicago, was a rather fast one, but the night con test between Edward McLaughlin, of this city, and Charles Peterson, of St, Louis, was a tedious exhibition, which lasted 4S innings. Cutler played fine billiards against Tay lor, the winner's high run being 83, while Taylor's best was 57. In the game tonight McLaughlin won, 400 to 357, from Peter son, whose stroke was unreliable.

The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care cannot be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold.

"I had no appetite and had lost much in weight and could not sleep at night. The slightest exertion tired me, and I had given up in despair. I always had a little hacking cough, my lungs felt sore, and my back ached.

The animosity against Witte is being increased so greatly that it will not be surprising If an attempt were made to assassinate him. . This advice adds that, it seems to be Witte's intention to be appointed presi dent of the Council of the Empire, think ing that in that post he would again be able to dominate the situation in Russia.

TALKS OP DISPUTE OX FISHING RIGHTS IX AMUR RIVER. Japan Building Railroads and Forts. Russia Prepares to Double Track Siberian Railroad. ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 24. (Spectal.) In the negotiations between members of the Russian-Japanese Commission sitting here, a note of fresh hostility between the Czar and the Mtkado was sounded to day. The Mikado's representatives main tain that the Japanese have a right to fish in the Amur River, because Japan owns property rights in the trans-Baikal and Ussuri regions. This is hotly dis puted by the Russians, who point out that no such provision was made in the Portsmouth treaty. Prince von Konsky issued a fiery ap peal tonight declaring the danger of an other war and urging Russia to be better prepared than before. Japan is building four railroads, commercially unproduct ive, but strategically important, and erecting six forts and forming new di visions for its army. The Russian general staff is urging the government to apply the law to the double-tracking of the Siberian and new Us surl railroads, arguing that a stronger fleet is not now available for Eastern ser vice, as Japan would find some pretext for refusing to let Russian warships into Vladivostok harbor. The cabinet has practically agreed to this suggestion and tne lungs renders them peculiarly suscep tible to consumption. If the catarrhal condition could be en tirely removed by some form of treat ment, the liability to contract consump tion would be also removed. It is claimed for Peruna that when faithfully used, according to directions, It will relieve the catarrhal condition arising in any organ of the body. Perhaps the most frequent illustration of the fact that Pe runa will relieve cases of internal ca tarrh are the numer ous cases of catarrh of the lungs that PE-RCX.V PREVENTS CONSUMPTION. iiave reported entire relief from the use of Peruna. The above case of Mr. Cameron 19 only one of the many which we have on file. An annoying and persistent cough; a loss of flesh; a shortness of breath; weak ness of the whole system; this hangs on in spite of all remedies. At last Peruna is resorted to, and a prompt relief ob tained. This has been repeated many times, as hundreds of letters in our files give testimony of. has already submitted for the Czar's ap proval a project for a double track line 3000 miles long through the trans-Baikal region to the Ussuri railroad. The government estimates that the cost of work would he $120,000 a mile, and an American syndicate, headed by a Chi cagoan. who insists that the rolling stock be made in America, will be one of the bidders. Should it bo impossible to ar range satisfactorily with foreign contract ors, the government will build the rail road itself. POLICE RAID REBEL QUARTER Gather in Much Terrorist Loot and Arrest Many Persons. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 24. The po lice today began a general search of the Okhta quarter pf this city, where two revolutionary arsenals were re cently discovered, and made wholesale seizures of bombs, explosives and weapons and arrested many persons. What Sulphur Does For the Human Body in Health and Disease. COSTS NOTHING TO TRY. The mention of sulphur wtll recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave us our daily dose of sulphur and molasses every Spring and Fall. It was the universal Spring and Fall "blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and, mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was not without merit. The Idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quan tity had to be taken to get any effect. Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects of sulphur in a palatable, con centrated form, so that a single grain is far more effective than a tablespoonful of tne crude sulphur. In recent years research and experi ment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is that obtained from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate-coated pellets and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur In a highly concentrated, effective form. Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; sul phur acts directly on the liver and ex cretory organs and purifies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste material. - Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molasses every Spring and Fall, but the crudity and impurity of ordinary flowers of sul phur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Wafers Is un doubtedly the best and most widely used. They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipation and purify the blood in a way that often surprises patient and physician alike. Dr. R. M. Wllkins, while experimenting with sulphur remedies, soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was superior to any other form. He says: "For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from constipation or malaria. I have been surprised at the results ob tained from Stuaft's Calcium Wafers. In patients suffering from bolls and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have repeatedly seen them dry up anil disap pear in four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Cal cium Wafers is a proprietary article and sold by druggists and for that reason tabooed by many physicians, yet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for con stipation, liver and kidney troubles and especially in all forms of skin diseases as this remedy. At any rate people who are tired of pills, cathartics and so-called blood "puri fiers" will find in Stuart's Calcium Waf ers, a far safer, more palatable and effective preparation.
