2 THE SUNDAY OKEGOXIAX. POKTLAM), - XJJXIS X, lxv RELIEF FOR SILETZ SETTLERS IN SIGHT Senate Expected to Pass Hawley Bill Already Ac cepted by House. OPPOSITION IS OVERCOME Hard Work by Author Puts Obsta cles Aside Way Through Upper . House Is Clear and Presi dent Will Approve. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, June 11. (Special.) Scores of homesteaders on the Siletz reservation, who have been struggling in vain for many years to get patent to their lands, will attain, their end if the Senate passes the Hawley bill, which passed the House last Monday. This class of legislation Is usually expedited in the Senate, and seldom calls' forth protest, and it is pre sumed this bill will pass the upper branch of Congress and be signed by the President before adjournment. That the bill passed the House, how ever, is cause for genuine surprise, for the House is always critical of legislation passing title to the public domain, and fit no time has the House been so critical as it is this session, when the air Is filled with rumor, and the average unin formed member is inclined to view with euspleion any special bill in the Interest of a limited number of settlers. Missionary Work Needed. As a matter of fact the Hawley bill would not have passed had not its author done a vast amount of missionary work among members on both sides of the party aisle, for the bill, at the time it was reported, was viewed with suspicion by a good many members who knew nothing of conditions on the Sileti re servation and who were unable to see why the Siletz settlers should not be required to get their patent In the usual way from the Secretary of the Interior without special aid from Con gress. When the bill was reported, after bearings before the public lands com mittee, Mr. Hawley devoted much time to members who were In a mood to object to his measure and with great pains explained the situation In detail to all he found antagonistic. It took several weeks of quiet work among mem bers to cover the Held, but when the time came for a vote the result was apparent. Not a momber who had been appealed to by Mr. Hawley voted against the bill not even Mann of Illinois, the great ob jector. I Jules Not Favorable. Under the rules of the House, as they have been amended by the insur gents and Democrats, bills of this na ture cannot be called up at odd times, as wac the case heretofore, and by the time the Siletz bill was reported oppor tunity for considering it on calendar Wednesday had passed. But Mr. Haw ley was desirous of getting the bill through. If possible, and was always on the alert and constantly "on the job." Had he been otherwise, his bill proba bly would never have been called up. About 6 o'clock on Monday, however, as the House was ready to adjourn, Mr. Hawley was recognized to call up his Siletz bill. He had it read, made a three-minute explanation and was In terrupted by Mr. Mann, the censor, who remarked that he personally had no objection to the passage of the bill If It was acceptable to others. A word to the wise was sufficient. Mr. Haw ley wound ui hts sf eech, let the bill go to vote and It went through with out opposition. Opposition to Overcome. But the apparent ease with which it passed was no indication whatever of the sentiment of the House prior to the time Mr. Hawley became a mis sionary. Had he not made It a point to meet and overnome the opposition of individual members there would have been enough votes :tgainst the Dill to defeat It. for it was considered un der suspension of the rules, when a two-thirds vote was necessary to pass it. A member less experienced In the ways of legislation in the National Congress would have failed utterly In handling this bill under existing: con ditions. TWO LOST IN AUTO FALL iContinucd From First Page.) going to Vancouver. As they turned the corner, just passing from sight of Adklns, Mrs. Monto leaned out of the machine and waved her hand at the saloonkeeper. This was a few minutes after 11 o'clock, and. if there were more occupants in the automobile when H shot from the trestle into the water, they were picked up after this time. C. J. Moss Believes Car Was Loaded. Clyde J. Moss, of Vancouver, is the lat man to see the ill-fated car. With Ills brother, A. S. Moss, of Portland, in the car, he left Portland late Friday night and soon after reached the first long stretch of trestle, overtook a, red automo bile. The top was up, the wind shields and curtains were drawn. and, ac cording to Moss, apparently there was a good load in the machine. Moss fol lowed the car for a short distance, then, in an effort to catch the last ferry to Vancouver, left it behind. On account of the terrific wind and rain storm it was difficult to see through the glass shield in front of the car. Kor this reason Moss leaned out of his car and looked ahead to see if the road (were clear. After he had passed the fated machine. Moss looked back and noticed that the driver of the car be hind also had his head outside the pro tecting curtains. Lights Seen by Others. Moss also saw that the lights on the rear car were very dim. He thought no more of it until he reached the Van couver ferry, when he l.oked behind for the second time, seeing absolutely nothing on the road. According to the calculations of time and distance. It must have been Just a second before when Day's machine careened wildly from the trestle into the stream. Captain Babbidge. of the Vancouver ferry, also had seen the lights of the second car shortly before the accident. Standing in the pilot-house of the ferry. Captain Babbidge had a com manding view of the trestle road. Looking for a second time, the ferry skipper noted the absence of the lights but, under the impression that It was tmiy. a. party. o -Joy. riders,- .which, had stopped on the bridge, gave no more consideration to the circumstance.- The fact that Clyde Moss was given the Impression, as be whizzed by the missing machine, that there was a full load of passengers, has led the authori ties to believe that at least five bodies Will be disclosed when the machine Is brought to the surface this morning. Moss is an experienced automobile man, accustomed to seeing motoring parties. Corroborating the theory that there are more than two bodies pinned to the bottom of Oregon Slough by the wrecked machine is the statement made by Ed Hollenbeck. Hollenbeck has a garage at 86 Tenth street, where autos "for rent" are stabled. Day had been secured as a driver only a few days ago. and his was a daylight shift, with another chauffeur to drive after dark. Plans Made for Loaded Car. Thursday afternoon Day told Hollen beck that he had been engaged by a party which would occupy his time probably for a couple of days. ' Fri day night about 7 o'clock he put in an appearance at the garage and asked Hollenbeck to let him change shifts and cars with the night driver, giving as a reason Tor the request the fact that he had a party, composed of five or six persons, with whom he was ac quainted and whom he. was to drive to Vancouver that night. As part payment for the driving which he had done since Thursday afternoon. Day gave $42 to Hollenbeck, saying that it was all that he had received to date from the passengers. He told Hollen beck at that time that he expected to carry a load of at least six persons to Vancouver some time during the night presumably in time to catch the last ferry, which leaves at 12:06 A. M., across the Columbia River. Between 7 and 11 o'clock Friday night. Day's movements bave not been ascer tained. At the latter hour he was seen by Tice Adkins in front of his saloon at Sixth and Stark streets. No more than 10 minutes were spent here, when the chauffeur and the young woman departed, saying they were bound for Vancouver. All circumstances point irrevocably to the belief that the bodies of Mrs. Monto and Frisco Day lie at the bottom of Oregon Slough. If there were other per sons in the car at the time of the crash, they must have been picked up within a few minutes after Day left Sixth and Stark streets. DAY STUDENT AT CHEMAWA Wife, to Whom He Was Recently Married, Had Premonition. Frisco Day, driver of ' the auto mobile, lived at 230 Clay street. He Is a licensed chauffeur, formerly the chauffeur for Dr. Gustav Baar and later a driver for the Oregon Taxicab Com pany. He is a quarter-breed Indian and was at one time a student at the Chemawa Indian School, where he held a good record. He held a good repu tation here as a steady worker. He obtained the car last night from Beverley Young, an emDlove of the Hollenbeck garage, who turned the car over to him in exchange for another. He told friends at the house where he lives, 230 Clay street, that he had rented the car to take out a man from Vancouver and his party. He was ex pected to return on Friday night at a late hour, and even before hearing of the accident, Mrs. Day had become much worried over the non-appearance of her husband. When Bhe was informed that her husband might have been one of the party which met a tragic death she was prostrated with grief. She remained down town with friends hoping against hope as clew after clew was followed out each pointing more strongly than the other to her hus band as one of the probable victims. Mrs. Day is scarcely out of her teens and was married to Frisco Day in Portland less than six months ago. She said last night: "My husband never failed to telephone me when he was detained longer than usual and I felt sure something terrible had happened to him even before I heard of the ac cident on the bridge over the Oregon Slough. He never stayed away from me any longer than was absolutely neces sary, and I am heartbroken to think he is lying out there beneath the water dead." Day's aged mother was not informed of her son's death until it was be lieved to be almost certain that Day was the victim. She was heartbroken and refused to be consoled by her friends. MORE GASES TO COME FURTHER SUGAR PROSECU TIONS FORESHADOWED. Three Men Indicted Confess and Government Acts on Informa tion They Give. NEW YORK, June 11. Adding to their attorneys' plea for clemency for Halli gan, Voelker and Walker, indicted in connection with sugar-weighing frauds. Prosecutor Sttmson made the announce ment that sinoe the men had pleaded guilty they had made a full confession and that the Government was now acting on information that had been received from them. This appeared to foreshadow further prosecutions and caused something of a sensation, for it had been widely as sumed that original proceedings growing out of the extensive underweighing frauds had come to an end with the conviction of Heike, the "man higher up," and his former subordinate, Gerbracht. Judge Martin suspended sentence un til August 30. pending an appeal, which counsel for the defendants will file. Bail was fixed at $25,000 each, the present ball of $5000 for Helke and $10,000 for Ger bracht being continued until Wednesday. James F. Bendernagel. the third man whose case went before the Jury, but re garding whose guilt or innocence the jury disagreed, as did a jury at a pre vious trial on me same charge, was pa roled on his own recognizance. It is con sidered doubtful whether his case will be prosecuted further. James A. Halllgan, the checker, and Harry W. Walker, the assistant dock superintendent who pleaded guilty dur ing the present trial, were sentenced to three months each on Blackwell's Island. Jean Voelker, who is confined to his bed and is in a dying condition, had his sentence suspended. 1000 VIEW CHERRY DISPLAY Lewiston Fruit Attracting Crowds.

FOTUREKOWSEEMS BRIGHT TO PINCHOT Ex-Forester Counts on Young Men to Wage War on "Special Interests." PUBLICITY ONE REMEDY Monopoly, Says Speaker at Roosevelt Club Dinner, Rests on Unregu lated Control t of Resources. New Party Is Suggested. ST. PAUL, June 11. Ex-Forester Pin chot and ex-Secretary of the Interior James R. Garfield were guests of honor at a banquet given by the St. Paul Roosevelt Club at the Ryan Hotel to night. The decorations of the speak ers' table consisted of miniature moun tains, forests, water falls and roads, with a miniature train propelled by electricity whizzing past. Justice E. A. Jaggard. of the Minnesota Supreme Court, was toastmaster. Introducing Judge Jaggard, President Halbert, of the Roosevelt tub, awakened the enthusiasm of the ban queters by a reference to an unnamed new party, "some of the leaders of which," he said, "were present." New Party Suggested. "The Roosevelt Plnh ha. nn:--nin stood for the conservation of resources unuui piunaer ana grart." he said. "This country has lived on its capital, but has awakened to the fact that It will soon exhaust its natural resources by the inequitable distribution of its wealth In direct violation of the law of equal opportunity of its citizens. This condition bas brought about the forma tion of a new party without name, but not without an Issue nor without lead ers. "That party may be unnamed, out Its leaders are Theodore Roosevelt and our honored guests. Gifford Pinchot and James R. Garfield." Mr. Garfield talked on the "Ultimate Results of Conservation" and the set address was that by Mr. Pinchot, who spoke on "Our Natural Resources and How to Conserve Them." "Special Interests" In Politics. Pinchot said in opening that conserva tion had "caDtured th VaHm am monopoly," be added, "rests on the un regulated control of natural resources and natural advantages and such con trol by the special interests Is Impossible without the help of polities. The alliance between business and politics is the most dangerous thing in our political life. It le the snake that m,,.t iu 1.1. special Interests must get out of politics. American people will put them out of business. There is no third course." Pinchot said that because the special interests were in politics the Nation had lost confidence in Congress. The tariff meant originally to raise the rate of wage, had been made a tool to increase the cost of living, he said. He declared that the steel trust secured by a trick an indefensible increase in the tariff on steel: that thi mi,. ,., lt . o - wow I.lPJO 1IUUI uro Government like a petty thief, while n dishonest schedule continued to protect ii, iuu me uuiton ciotn scnedule was in creased in the face of testimony of the manufacturers that it ought to remain unchanged, and that "for a dozen years the demand of the Nation for the pure food and drne" .hill , .... i i ... j , - uutnciftllKU in Congress by the interests which asserted mieir rigui to poison the people for a profit."

That one of her former admirers may have been at the bottom of the murder of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton In Lake Como. Italy, yesterday, is suspected by Paul Charlton. father-in-Hw of the unfortu nate young woman.' Mr. Charlton asked Secretary, Knox today to have the State Department, through its representatives In Italy, make an investigation into the mystery and also to try to learn the where abouts of his son. The department has taken the matter np with the American embassy by cable. PRINCESS DISBELIEVES STORY Cousin ot Miss Estelle Reld Never Heard of Mrs. Charlton. ROME, June 11.

The consensus of opinion of the authorities is that Mrs. Charlton, although unconscious, was breathing when her body was packed into her own trunk and lowered into the lake. It seemed reasonable to suppose that she had died of suffoca tion. The procurator admitted that boat men had furnished him Information of the utmost value, not only as to the time the murder was committed, but as to the person guilty. They gave it through their spokesman, a tall, mus cular young man, who makes his living at fishing and who assured the procura tor that he was shortly to be married. He said: "I was minding my nets, excellency, when the young American who lived In the villa above came to me. He asked in what part of the bay I usually cast my lines. Did I find my fish in deep water or shallow? I was hard at work and told him that It depended greatly upon the movement of the fish. He inquired then what part of the bay Was deepest and I indicated it with a wave of my hand. He seemed to fix the spot in his mind and after thanking me he went away. That is all that I know." , The procurator questioned the fisher man and established, so far as can be learned, that the part of the lake pointed out by .m was where the trunk was dragged to the surface. This testimony was of utmost importance to the authorities, as no only pointing to premeditated murder, but as an as surance that Porter Charlton, the youthful husband, was alive. WEDDING SURPRISES FATHER Minister AVlio Performed Ceremony Tells of Subsequent Inquiries. SEATTLE, June 11. Rev. Albert A. Clay, of Wilmington. Del., who is spending the Summer in Seattle, re membered the circumstances of the Charlton marriage well. He said: "The couple came to me at Wilming ton from New York and asked to be married. They answered all my ques tions satisfactorily and I performed the ceremony, Charlton seemed to be high ly educated, as did the woman. I noted that the woman was much older than Charlton, and that he seemed to be in poor health. He spoke of having been abroad, but did not mention a pur pose to go again. I inferred from his conversation that he was connected with a New York bank and that he would return to New York to resume his work there. Some weeks 'after the marriage I received a letter from Mr. Charlton's father asking if the report of his son's marriage was correct. The father seemed to be surprised at the report and unable to believe It. The letter said that young Charlton had known Mrs. Castle only a short time, having met her in the office of a friend; it stated also that Charlton had in cipient consumption and that his father was greatly worried over his son's health.

"Would the Senator from Georgia be in favor of a revision of the tariff if his party should be In power two years or four years hence?" aeked Mr. Al drich. "I would be If my party were in power and we could have a revision along revenue lines," said Mr. Clay. Mr. Aldrich.

"The President- mimt t. advised of possible discriminations, but have means of knowing what they are," he said. The appropriation was to enable the President to carry on the investigations and did not mean a new tariff. "We were not engaged in the enact ment of a revenue tariff in passing the bill of 1909," he said, "we were car rying out the protective principles in that enactment." "Best Bill Ever," Repeats Aldrich. Mr. Aldrich said that the last bill was not exactly what he wanted, and he did not mean to close his eyes to future demands. "I say, and I say distinctly, that the bill of 1909 was the best protective act that ever passed Congress," said Mr. Aldrich, "but I do not undertake to say that this circumstance will pre clude further changes." Mr. Bailey found in " the provision a mere device to obtain a suspension of Judgment upon Taft until the next elec tion. He said it was not intended to pro duce an inquiry of such general scope as the Insurgents had predicted, but merely to carry out the present law; therefore, he intimated, the Insurgents had been "buncoed." Referring to Mr. Aldrich's characteriza tion of the present law as the best tariff ever enacted, . Mr. Bailey declared that notwithstanding this opinion, the Rhode Island Senator had not been able to get the indorsement of the Indiana conven tion, which had renominated Senator Beveridge, who had voted against it. "Has the Senator heard of a telegram from the Senator from Indiana during the convention, saying that he had kicked the epidermis off the abdominal region of the tariff?" asked Mr. Johnston, of Alabama, amid laughter. Mr. Bailey had heard of It, and said if the telegram was sent, it was warranted. But Indiana was not alone, he said. The Western states were generally op posed to the existing tariff, he declared. He said that if the Administration's in fluence could be removed from Iowa, the verdict in the approaching convention there would be against the law. "As it is," he said, "it is trembling in the balance." Senator Dolliver made a brief argu ment in support of the contention that the provision would give to the Presi dent power to extend the operations of the Department of Commerce and La bor. Hcj burn Roused Over Baiting. - Mr. Heyburn made a spirited appeal to all Republicans to get together, stand loyally by the party and stop the agitation of the press, and when Mr. Cummins sought to interrupt him, Mr. Hale, who sat directly behind the Idaho Senator, said, loud enough td be heard all over the chamber: "Don't wind him up again." Mr. Heyburn overheard the remark and denouncing it as "insolent," said he did not Intend to "allow it," and added: 'I am quite capable of resent ing it in any way on earth." Mr. Hale made no reply, except to Join in the general laughter. Finding his opportunity. Mr. Cum mins said that he had heard Mr. Hey burn make a more severe attack upon the Republican party than any he had ever heard from anyone (else in the Senate chamber. He referred to the Idaho Senator's attacks on the land and forestry reserves, and the adminis tration of the latter by Gifford Pinchot.
