STEAMROLLER IS WAITING Tpper Body at Liberty to Debate and Amend, lint When Time Comes It Will Be Forced to Meet President's Wishes. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, 'Washing-ton, Nov. IB. If President Wilson continues to dominate the Democratic majority of the House of Representa tives, he sooner or later will get the kind of currency bill he wants, regard less of any changes the Senate may desire to make In the Glass-Owen measure. The legislative situation is such that President Wilson can drive the Democratic Senate Into submission, although he cannot compel the Senate to act as speedily as he might wish. . It is evident that the President and the Democrats of the House have formed a compact to shape legislation to meet the approval of the executive. Irrespective of what the Senate may think or desire. So long as this com pact remains effective, Just so long may the Senate revolt and amend without accomplishing anything, for If the House, upholding the President, re fuses to accept Senate amendments, and If the President refuses to compromise with the Senate, then the Senate must do one of two things submit to the terms laid down by the President and accepted by the House or bring about a deadlock, thus defeating the currency bill entirely. No one supposes that the Senate would go to such extremes. Procedure Unusual 1 In currency legislation the Demo cratic Congress and Democratic Presi dent are not proceeding along the lines contemplated by the framers of the Constitution, for a' situation has been created whereby the Senate is virtually to lose the right of participation in the framing of the currency lawi The Constitution conferred on the Senate the same power regarding leg islation that It conferred on the House, and It was Intended that the Joint work of the two houses should be sub mitted to the President for his ap proval. If the Senate disagreed with the House, means were provided where by the Senate and House might recon cile their differences and not until the compromise was reached would the executive be expected to participate. The present plan, so far as results are concerned, contemplates Ignoring the Senate altogether, the House and the President doing all the legislating, with the President dictating and the House acquiescing. Virtually, the cur rency bill thus far has been drawn by the President and forced upon the House, and it Is now proposed to over ride the Senate and compel that body to accept. the House bill, or the House bill with such modifications as the President himself will agree to. Senate Can OIntiim Bill. The Senate Is to have the opportunity of discussing the currency bill to Its he irt's content; even the President now concedes that it will not be possible to curtail debate. The Senate, under its rules, will be at liberty to amend the bill if enough Democratic Senators will differ from the Administration view to bring about material changes, as could be done by voting with Republican Senators. .The caucus is to be used, if possible, to whip Democratic Senators Into line, and, if this falls, the Senate will then be steam-rolled by the House and the President when the time comes. Once the bill gees through the Sen ate and It is sure to pass some time this Winter It will go back to the House for concurrence in any amend ments the Senate may make. Then the President will pass on the Senate amendments and It is expected he will reject any radical changes if a Democratic-Republican combination In the Senate can force Important changes, and the House will be instructed to back up the President, which It un doubtedly will do. each case. All of the samples con sisted of water from the city's filtered supply. Two plates were secured from each sample, and six organisms were found and no gas production. Last Monday W. M. Hedden, a chemist in the employ of the Willamette Pulp & Paper Company, reported the pres ence of colon bacilli in the city water, after making several tests. His findings were submitted to the Board of Water Commissioners, who Immediately start, ed an investigation of their own by communicating with the State Board of Health and securing the presence of Dr. Arms, who took four samples of water in Oregon City for analysis. On the following day two samples were taken in West Oregon City and sent to Dr. Arms, as the colon bacilli alleged to have been found by Mr. Hedden was In water taken on the West Side.

CHICAGO, Jiov. 15. America's "Im mortals" are planning a hall of fame In which their portraits will be . pre served and where they can hold future meetings. It probably will be estab lished in New York. Hamlin Garland, of Chicago, said tonight that the pro posed building had been discussed at an executive meeting of members of the National Institute of Arts and Let ters and the American Academy of Arts and Literature. The subject was broached after Louis Betts, of Chicago, had volunteered to paint a portrait of Mr. Garland for the institute and the question arose where such a picture would be hung. "I believe we will start with -an en dowment fund for the erection -of a building of our own," said Mr. Garland. "Of course, it would be built in New York." It is improbable that women will have any place In the proposed "Mount Olympus," as Dr. Brander Matthews, president of the institute, today advised feminine notables to start an "immor tal suffrage group" of their own. The "Immortals" will meet next year in Paris. The gold medal of the acedemy was presented at today's session of the academy and institute here to Augustus Thomas as a dramatist. Previous awards have been in sculpture to Au gustus St. Gaudens, in history to James I'ord Rhodes, in poetry to James Whit comb Riley and in architecture to Wil liam R. Mead. Mr. Thomas declared that before returning to New York he was going to St. Louis to show the tnedal to his 81-year-old .mother. "fche will not be as overcome as 1 am," he said. "She will wonder what has occasioned the long delay of my recognition. HAD CATARRH OF THE STOMACH. Mr. A. M. Pernna Relieved a Seri- ikerd. Box ous Case. ai. west B u rllngton, Iowa, writes: "I had ca tarrh of the stomach and small intes tines for a number of years. I went to a number of doctors a n C got no relief, and f 1 n a lly one of my doctors sent me to Chi cago, and I met the same fate. They said they could do nothing for me; said I had cane e r of the stoni- a e h and there was no cure. I almost thought the same, for my breath was offensive and I could not eat anything without great misery,- and I gradually grew worse. "Finally. I concluded to try Peruna, and I found relief and a cure for that dreadful disease, catarrh. I took five bottles of Peruna and two of Manalln, and I now feel like a new man. There is' nothing better than Peruna, and I keep a bottle of It In my house all the time. - It is a remarkable story that Mr. Ikerd tells. It is a true Btory, but very briefly told. If he put into his story all of the details It would make a chap ter of suspense and agony, hope and final recovery, equal to the wildest fic tion. Any one wishing to do so can write Mr. Ikerd and ascertain whether there has been any exaggeration in his case. The "Ills of Life" will be sent free by addressing the Peruna Co., Colum bus, Ohio. Those who object to liquid medicines can now procure Peruna Tablets. Adv. sssssfer -ffc X -ft.w.-. wAfl Mr. A. M. Ikerd. OREGON CITY WATER PURE State Board of Health Test Shows No Colon Bacilli Present Now. OREGON CITY, Nov. 16. (Special.) Six samples of water analyzed by Dr. B. L.
