Washington, April 3. The demo cratic program for the extra session of congress Is completed. They plan to puss the Canadian reciprocity, to have accomplished the reapportion ment under the new census, revise the tariff schedule by schedule, and In stitute a general policy of economy and retrenchment. There will be three important Investigations. The department of Justice will be probed In connection with failure to prose cute the .steel trust, the post office de partment in connection with the sec ond class mall conroversy between Hitchcock and magazine publishers, and the Hallinger-Pinchot fight In the Interior department. Bryan and Harmon are here. Tafl to Veto Hills. Friend of Taft declare that should the democrats succeed In passing the tariff revision bills through the house and senate, the president will cer tainly veto them. In spite of the threat the democrats in conference today reiterated their determlnalon to revise certain sched ules of the tariff act during the spe cial session. Such measures It Is be lieved, will go through the house and the democrats believe there are suf ficient Insurgents in the senate to vote In favor of the revision. The matter will then be up to the presi dent. Manipulators Gather. Anticipating a hnrd slashing of the high tariffs by the democrats, the lob by manipulators are gathering. Prom inent among them are the. beneficiar ies of the wool tariff. Schedule K, which Undorwpod, chairman of the ways and means committee announc ed would be the first schedule will be considered. At noon today Taft had not written his message. It Is prob ably brief and will only urge the Ca nadian reciprocity. It may also rec omend the house to postpone the con sideration of the tariff. Socialist Outline Policy.- Victor L. Herger, the socialist from Wisconsin, elected to congress, gave the United Press an outline as to the policy he expects to follow at the present session, as follows: "Of course I realize that I am only one congressman among five hundred In the two houses and I don't expect to revolutionize the country single hand ed, nut because I represent six hun dred thousand voters I have a right to expect to get a chance to explain For the purpose of discussing the matter of securing larger and more adequate quarters for the Commercial club the special committee of five appointed last Friday met in tho of fice of Dr. C, J. Smith Saturday eve ning, Dr. Smith was made chairman of the committee and various possi bilities In the way of a new lacatlon for tho club were discussed pro and con. The upper floor of the Matlock Brownfleld building, adjoining the Hotel Bowman, may be had by the club at it very low rental should the association desire to move to that lo cation. Other locations were also sug gested and among the various schemes discussed was one for the erection of a club house at some convenient point ar. close as possible to the business center of the city. The work of mak ing further investigations was divided among the different members of the committee and another session is to be held some day this week, prior to COMPLETE SEEKING NEW LOCATION FOR PENDLETON COMMERCIAL CLUB1 MAY VETO 1 5 our point of view on Important meas ures. Common with socialist legisla tors the world over, I shall support every measure, no matter by whom Introduced, that Is Intended to give greater political freedom, economic security to the working classes, that Is Intended 10 guard toilers, taking women Into children factories, on lessen the burden of the misery work ers and add to their comfort. The advant of the new party Into Ameri can congress is an event of historical Importance." 1 HE DALLES YOUXG LADY IS MISSING Hearing their daughter, Miss Gludys enter the house and then retire to her room about 9 o'clock lust night, Mr. ai.d Mrs John W. Heebner, 505 Web ster street, thought that she had gone to bed. They discovered this morn ing, however, that she did not occu py her room at home last night; that she had packed up her belongings nnd left the city, says The Dalle-' Chronicle. The local officers were notified till" morning of the girl's strange absence but have been unable to locate her. They learned, though, that Miss Jlob- ner purchased a ticket for Umatilla n; the O.-W. R. & N. office Just before the 11:15 o'clock train left, but th? officers at Umatilla have no trace, of The Dalles young lady. Miss Heebner was seen by several people, riding in an automobile yes terday evening with a young man. a stranger. The supposition Is that the two left the city together, though she was alone when she procured the ticket at the railroad office. OLD PIONEER SAYS THE COUNTRY NOW TOO CROWDED G. S. Andrews, pioneer resident of r.raiit county und former resident of I'matllli, is now In town upon n short sojourn. He says that although .i tines during the winter the out look in his country was rather blue ecnuse of a shortag,. in feed, condi tions are now good. The fine spring weather has brought the grfis. and the crops forth in excellent shape and til,, fanners and stockmen are feel i:.g cheerful as a result. When Mr. Andrews first visited In Pendleton there was but a single house here and that was owned by Lot Llvermore. There were then but three places between The Dalles and Wulla Walla where a traveler could secure accommodations of uny sort. Nor were then any fences or farms to be seen. "I like those times, though " declared the old pioneer to day. "Things are too crowded now." , , ENGLAND SUFFRAGETTES ' SPEND NIGHT FROM HOME London, April 3. With a statement of "No vote, no caucus" thousands of suffragettes have filled the streets to day returning home after a night spent from under their roofs. T)o census' blanks were sent out, each household- ' er in Kngland receiving one. With H accompanied orders to fill out under penalty of heavy fine, and return to1 the census headquarters. The Infor mation called for was the description each person who passed "night of Sun- , day, April 2" under said householders roof. The suffragettes resolved not t.) pass the night under anybodys roof and spent the night at the Srala the atre and the roller skating rinks. The demonstration broke up at X a. m A monument of Mrs. Kerenhap 1 tick Turner, who rode on horseback from Maryland to North Carol, na to nurse her son, who had been badly wounded In battle, stands on the bat tlefield near Guilford, N. C the meeting of the managing board Friday. Among those favoring the securing of new quarters for the club one of tho most enthusiastic Is President Dan P. Smythe, who returned home Sat urday from a trip to Portland and Snlem. "Practically every good town in the northwest now has a good commercial club," he declares. "In nearly every instance the club Is well furnished nnd usually a conservatively managed buffet Is part of the establishment. The commercial club is headquarters for the businessmen of the city and for visiting men of prominence. I am strongly In favor of securing good quarters for the Pendleton Commer cial club and the Brownflold-Matlock building furnishes an Ideal location In many respects. Unless the club can erect a building of its own or secure another location more desirable those rooms should be taken."

WASHINGTON WILL HAVE NEW ORDER OF WORKING HOURS Spokane, Wash. Eight hours for work, eight hours for sleep and elajit hours for study and recreation, is the I'cw order of things that may be work ed out in the state of Washington when tho woman's labor law becomes effective on June 9. The new regu lation, adopted by the legislature at Its last session, provides that no wo man or girl employed in mercantile establishment, office, laundry, hotel or restnuront shall be permitted to work more than eight hours a day. The penalty is a fine of from J10 to $100 for each violation. Several manufacturing plants In Spokane have already worked out plans by which the eight-hour day will go into effect carl in April, thus giving employment tc from 15 to 20 per cent more wo men than formerly. The laundry men are not satisfied and are prepar ing to make a test case. The eight hour rule has been observed In busi ness offices several years, but the ho tels and restaurants are working on a basis of 11 and 12 hours. Three thousand women In Spokane are af fected by tho change. TAFT AND IIRYCE DISCUSS THE ARBITRATION TREATY Washington, D. C , April 1.

TODAY'S r.IRTHDAY SKETCH. . dav. He w.is horn in Vmv YorV March 31. 1848, and bis great grand father was the original John Jacob .stor. founder of the eollossal Astor fortune. Mr. Astor was educated en tirely by private tutors, finishing his education in Europe. Like most of the Astor boys, and there have been I very, very few of them, there has al- j ways been sufficient work connected with the management of the vast As tor estates to keep them busy and he started his business career 'as an asistant manager In the Astor estate office. Tn 1890 he succeeded his father as bend of the Astor family, with a per sonal fortune estimated at about ino,000,000. In 1S78 he married j Miss Mary Dalgren Paul of Phlladel I phla, and It is said it was because so- ciety railed to accord to Mrs. Astor the -place her husband thought she should have enjoyed as leader, that he shook the dust of New York and Newport from off his feet and went to take up an abode in England. The Astors resided abroad for many years, mingling with n certain class of so ciety In London, but never succeeded, it Is said. In realizing Mr. Astor's am bition to be a leader in the king's set. He gave largely to charity and to the various philanthropic institutions in which royalty was interested, but the greatest recognition ever received for such munificence never exceeded a cordial note of thanks. His daughter. Miss Pauline Astor, married young Captain Spender-Clay of the British navy, who Is also prom inent In politics. William Waldorf Astor. jr., married one of the famous Langshorne sisters of Virginia. He stood for parliament In the recent British elections and was successful In his efforts to be elected. The As tors are planning to entertain exten sively during the coronation festivities. For the fiscal year which closed March 31 the business of the Pendle-I ton postloffice shows a gain of over eight per cent over the business for ! the fiscal year ending March 31, 1910.! As shown by the report which was complete. 1 today by Assistant Post-j master Harry Rees the total business! for the past 12 months amounts to1 $22,416.8 7. For the year ending! March 31, 1910, the total reached the! sum nf ton fill cn Ttie.ntA.. i Therefore the liooks show a gain $1773.07. in volume of The business for the quarter Just I ended shows that the business this' year Is running considerably ahead of! former years.

REPORT SAYS SECOND .. MAN HAS BEEN TAKEJt Hardware Store, Ru'clier Shop and Saloon Entered and Burglarized During the Night Robbers Bad Scant Luck Had Stolen $75 From Butler Saloon on the Xiglit Pre vious. Pilot Rock was thrown Into a high slate of excitement this morning when It was discovered that three of the principal business houses in the town had been burglarized during the night the houses In question being Jacques & Linser's hardware store, Charley Xeweomb's butcher shop and Al But ler's saloon. When the robbery became known Marshal Lynch and Constable JIc- I Reynolds of Pilot Rock, immediately ! started on tha trail of the thieves, I while Deputy Sheriff Biakely sad ( Chief Gurdane "of Pendleton, secured I a speeder, upon being notified of the j depredations and started cut from) i endleton. Ono Man Causbt. A telephone communication from Pilot Rock this afternoon stated that Constable McReynolds had brought a man in shortly after noon who ad mits he broke Into the saloon aad took a quantity of whisky and de clares that his pal broke into the other places. Another report states that the Pendleon officers have pick ed up a man wih a quantity of shell in his possession and all Indications are that he is the pal In question. The discovery of the burglaries was made early this morning. Entrance was made to the hardware store through a rear window and the cash drawer had been smashed but no money secured. ' A large number of knives, razors and cartridges have been taken though and perhaps other articles which have not yet been missed. The door of the butcher shop had been forced open and. as In the hardware store, the cash drawer had been broken, and the lone dollar that was in it taken. The door of the sa loon had been broken and entrance effected. Finding no money the bur glar or burglars had made way with a number of flasks St whiskey. This is the second loss that Butler has sus tained recently as on last Friday night his residence was broken in.o and $75 taken. ' When the Pilot Rock officers set upon the search of the perpetrators of the crimes the men were tracked for a mile along the railroad to Pendle ton. Then the Pendleton officers were notified to approach from this end. The burglars had evidently separated but seem to have been unable to es cape from the two sets of trackers. At a cost to the city of 10 cents each, 27,593 men and women have been furnished employment during the year 1910 by the municipal free employment bureau of Portland. In these days of amazing coiffures It is impossible for the layman to tell whether they're puffed or pinned on. the quarter Just closed amounted to $5494.31, while the report for the quarter that closed March St. 1910, showed a total business of $5145.3$ ine .March business this year amount. ed to $1725.03 while during March, 1910. the total reached only $1576.5. The fact that the business for the last fiscal year shows a gain of over eifht per cent is pleasing In view of the fact that a year ago the report showed no gain over the rjrecedln year. Tho total business for the year 1909 showed a gain over the year 190S. but the report for the fiscal year end. lr.g March 31, 1910, showed a slight toss as compared with the total for the preceding fiscal year.
