SOUTH TO SEEK DELAY Louisiana Adherents Plan Attempt to Carry Action Over to Next Congress Should They Lose In Initial Skirmish. WASHINGTON. Jan. 28 (Special.) Senator Flint gave positive assurance today that. If San Francisco wins in the House, no serious difficulty will be encountered In the Senate over the adoption of the exposition resolution In the Senate. "There will be some . hostility, of course, but we will get the resolution through. New Orleans undoubtedly will try to block us. but before the session is over w shall be able to overcome any effort to postpone action into the next Congress." It should be understood that If the San Francisco resolution authorizing tha President to Invite foreign nations Is passed by the House on Tuesday, but Is not passed by the Senate at thla session. It will die and be of no force and effect. Both Houses Must Concur. California would have to begin all over again at the opening of the new Congress next Winter. Enactment by the one body alone would vest no au thority In the President and without the concurrence of the other body be fore adjournment not a step could be taken by San Francisco toward na tional Invitation to the foreign coun tries. It 1 very apparent that New Orleans has already planned that In the event of defeat In the House it will try to bring about either an opposing result In the Senate, which would as well vitiate the San Francisco resolution, or, failing that, prevent - action before March 4. Flint's assurance, therefore, oovers both propositions; one that there will be a majority for California, and the other that any filibuster or othei tac tics for delay can be defeated. Time Will Be Short. Only four and a half weeks will re main of the session after the vote In the House, and these will be crowded with work for the Senators. The or dinary run of appropriation bills Is sufficient of Itself to overwhelm the Senators during the closing month, for the work comes to them In a heap af ter the House has taken weeks to dis pose of It. The Senate can. however, proceed with a marvelous dispatch when It is so minded, and Senator Flint can easily obtain 13 minutes at some time to pass on the exposition resolution, provided, however, it must be remembered, that there Is not too formidable an opposi tion of filibuster. The Louislanans for many weeks have been boasting of the leverage they had In the Senate. They have frankly avowed a purpose to filibuster If nec essary. But It Is the Senators on the floor who must carry It on, and It Is not so simple' a proposition to main tain one as th Southern campaigners declare. MBS.

It was impossible to learn if there bad been any change In the open hostility with which the measure was received on Thursday. McBrlde Fear Injury to Province. VICTORIA. B. C Jan. 28. Premier Richard McBrlde, of British Columbia, believes the proposed reciprocity agree ment between the United Statea and Canada will Inflict serious Injury to British Columbia' interests. "The free entry Into Canada of fruits, dairy and agricultural products will result In an injury to our agri cultural classes that will be most se verely felt," be said last night. "It will put the markets on the prairies largely In the hands of Americans, who. even under existing conditions, can compete successfully with our fruitgrowers, -and those of Eastern Canada. "Butter, eggs and poultry. Instead of being shipped to us from other parts of Canada, will be sent here from Washington, Oregon and California, and the trade with Ontario will cease. In Canada the general effect will be to disorganize trade conditions. Injure our industries and our traffic lines, and all for tha benefit of Americans." NAVY10GET $125,421,538 HOT7SE COMMITTEE PROVIDES FOR LARGE INCREASE. Two Battleships of 2 7,000 Tons to Be Built Pacific Coast to Have New Collier, WASHINGTON. Jan. 28. Carrying a total of J125.421.53S, the naval appro priation bill was reported to the House today by Chairman Foss of the naval affairs committee. The bill carries $5,929,316 less than the current appro priation and 12,044,621 less than the estimates submitted by the Navy De partment. The increase of the navy programme calls for an appropriation of 134.270,- ' 816. of which 81S.832.92S for the first '. year is Inserted In the present bill. This ; increase ' contemplates two battleships , of 27,000 tons at $11,835,408 each; two : colliers- at $1,000,000 . each; eight tor pedo-boat destroyers at $823,000 and four submarines at $500,000 each. The cost as given Is estimated on the basis of building by pr'vate con tract without restriction. The committee recommends that the collier authorized In the naval act of 1908 to be built in a Pacific Coast navy ! yard be constructed by private contract. with a cost limit of $1,000,000 against an estimated navy yard cost of $1,800, 000. Owing to an Increased number of of ficers and rise in the pay of many of ficers, due to length of service, an In crease of $1,403,490 in the pay of the Navy is provided for. An increase of $150,000 for torpedoes and appliances is made. The subject of the discontinuance of tbe Bureau of Equipment under the re organization of the department, which has given rise to prolonged controversy, is dismissed by the committee with the recommendation that the trial of the present plan be extended for another year in order to test It thoroughly. To facilitate a better co-ordination In public works, the committee has con solidated under the bureau of yards and docks all the public works of the en tire naval establishment. .Under this head the bill makes the following ap propriations for 1912: Pearl Harbor Naval Station, designed to be the principal naval station on the Pacific, $2,262,000. together with $800. 000 for a 100-ton floating crane for use there; a provision increasing by $800, 000 the limit of cost of the floating crane at Boston, repairs and preserva tion at navy yards and stations, and appropriations for the various navy tyards and stations ranging from $988,- 000 to $32,000.

MED FORD, Or., Jan. 28. (Special.) Declaring that he confessed to the murder of Belle Ellis here last month only to "see 'em sit up and take notice." K. L. Brooks, who was committed to the State Insane Asylum at the ttlme as a paranoiac and discharged from that Institution Friday, returned here yes terday and left last night for Grants Pass. "I had come West with a circus," he said yesterday, "and after loafing around here for a day I decided that I would liven things up a bit, and so when I heard that a woman had been found on the railroad track with her skull beaten In I thought that I would tell them that I did it." Brooks was arrested here last De cember, following a confession to the murder of Belle Ellis, whose dead body had been found lying on the Southern Pacific track between this city and Phoenix. Although he furnished a de tailed account of the crime, little credence was placed in his story and developments convinced the authorities that Brooks was merely seeking noto riety. ' TIDELANDS CASE UPHELD California Decision Bears Out One Made In Yaqulna Dispute, SALEM. Or.. Jan. 28. (Special.) A de cision by Judge Galloway in th case of th Yaqulna and Alaea Bay tldelands. claimed by the Corvallis St Eastern Rail road has been upheld In a California case, according to a communication re ceived by Governor West. Governor West says that Judge Bord well of Los Angeles In the suit of the People va the Southern Pacific in.) whose hands certain tldelands were Is sued at various times since 1865, holds to the doctrine of the non-alien ability of the people to secure title to naviga tion lands. "Such alienation would be an Infringement upon the natural rights of the individual and subversive of the purposes of organized government," states the opinion. Inasmuch as the Yaqulna and Alsea Bay cases have ot been decided In the Supreme Court the Governor considers this opinion of vital Interest here. 1 : ' 'S DEATH ENDS "Poolrooms Must Close; Gam blers Cannot Stay," San Francisco's Edict. POLICE SHAKE-UP SWIFT City Prison Is Filled to Overflowing as Result of Vigorous Action of Captain Duke Follow ing Cillers Orders. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 28. (So cial.) Gamblers cannot stay In San Francisco. That is the police edict Is sued following the tragic death yes terday of Gustave Postler, who had impoverished himself at the gambling clubs and then had tried to make a last desperate "stake" by recovering at the point of a revolver. Whether he shot himself or was killed by a shot from a gambler's revolver has not been determined. Tonight the city prison cells are full and the overflow is occupying the cor ridors. They are poolroom-players, who were arrested late today In a raid made under the direction of Captain Duke, the new commander of the cen tral police station. All of the poolrooms raided were situated In the heart of the business district of the city and In each place the police seized the paraphernalia as evidence. An average of from 10 to 15 patrons were arrested in each place. The operators of the places were charged with felony for violating the Otis-Walker antibetting law and the habitues of the poolrooms were booked as violators of the ordinance which makes the visiting of such' places a .misdemeanor. Captain Duke said today: "Chief of Police Seymour has given me orders that permit me to change my entire command if I deem it nec essary. However, that hardly will be necessary. "The chief has told me that I can request any man from any part of the department to report for duty with my company to assist me In driving out of business the hundreds of gam blers who flocked here after gambling was closed in Nevada and who have syndicated a flourishing business with in a stone's throw of police headquar ters. "So far as gambling in this district goes today, it is ancient history. Yes terday the Saratoga Club was a minia ture Reno in full blast. It will not be permitted to reopen while I am cap tain of the central station." Duke acted promptly this afternoon upon Chief Seymour's carte blanche to reorganize company A and at 3 o'clock announced a list of changes that In cluded two sergeants and eight pa trolmen. In place of the men trans ferred Duke submitted a list of names of men that he desired to take the places of those shifted, and Chief of Police Seymour promptly placed his official approval upon Duke's list. Two sergeants and eight patrolmen, who composed Company A of the cen tral police district,' were removed to other districts, their places being filled by an equal number of officers and men from outside districts. Timirri i nruirn "nm KENNEDY, NOT HE, MADE OF FER, SAYS JUDGE. Mayor Determined Upon Removal on Appointed Date Mrs. Bennett Wants No Charity. Major J. P. Kennedy, slated to suc ceed George Tazwell as Judge of the Municipal Court, is credited with hav ing made the statement yesterday that he had been approached by a friend of Tazwell with a proposal to retire from the contest for the Judgeship in ex change for a certain sum to be paid him monthly. Judge Taswell denies this, and fur ther declares that the positions of the two were reversed. He says that some time ago Major Kennedy approached a friend of his and intimated that a deal could be made which would insure his leaving the field open for Tazwell. Mayor Simon yesterday reiterated his determination to dismiss Tazwell sum marily from office ijext Tuesday or Wednesday. G. A. Taylor, father of Mrs. Frank S. Bennett, widow of Tazwell's prede cessor, said yesterday: "As the family of the late Frank S. Bennett has been mentioned in the con troversy between Mayor Simon and Judge Tazwell In a manner which would lead some people to believe that tbe wife of Judge Bennett or some of ber family had been the beneficiary by receiving a part of the salary drawn by Judge Tazwell as municipal Judge, and that this was upon the request of Mra Bennett, on behalf of Mrs. Bennett and her family. I wish to say that the first knowledge that Mrs. Bennett had of this was from reading it In the papers, and that neither Mrs. Bennett nor any member of her family asked or expected any part of this salary. If any such representations were. made to Mayor Simon It was without the knowl edge or consent of Mrs. Bennett or any of her family. Mrs. Bennett Is not asking or receiving any charities from the City of Portland." West Proposes State Forest. WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 28.
