If Canada should, some day. repeal the Canadian bill, the United States law would remain -in force until congress could take ac tion. It was several times suggested that the bill be amended so that It would be automatically repealed in the event of the repeal of the Canadian law by the Ottowa parliament, but the general belief was that the condi tions under which it might operate to the disadvantage of the United States were beyond the range of pos- nihility j .LILLIAN GRAHAM S PRESS j WORK ENTIRELY TOO COARSE Xew York.

The fire occurred Monday night and Its 01 igin is unknown, although the gener al belief is that it was incendiary.

Steel of No im was employed on the comhini the combine Georgo and the single tax, worked hard in the early days for the Aus tralian ballot, and in his ne.spaper, tho East Oregonian, strongly sup ported the referendum law. Mr. Jackson became a convert to pure democracy through reading his favor ite author, Mark Twain, especially his "Connecticut Yankee," and it was quite natural, when he came to Port land in 1901, to establish a paper of his own that he should champion the popular cause. In those days Harvey W. Scott's paper the Oregonian, the lending newspaper on the Pacific coast, advocated the popular reforms, as the years have gone by, however, this paper has 'passed from a position of tolerance to one of open hostility nnd Mr. Jackson hns come to the front as tho leading journalistic spokesman of the democratic move ment." The story by Burton J. Hendrick U illustrated by a half tone cut of Mr. Jackson and with many Oregon views. : PENDLETON AGAIN FACES WATER FAME : With but four feet of water in the rcwrvoir and with Much a (scanty supply of water available at the? pump station that tin; regular needs of the city cannot be met the water board is coiifYoiitinjr h hanl problem this afternoon, "We will have lo stop the xtreel piinttlini;- this afternoon and to nlnht," says J.

COTTONWOOD STREET MAY NOT BE PAVEO Even tho Webb and street districts may be Cottonwood' affected by the remonstrances against paving Court and Alta streets, in case such remonstrances are effective at all.

J.P. ONLY A HIRELING OF ROCKEFELLERS jStandley Committee Learns as Much From Special Investi gators Report to Bonapart. Washington, July 26. That J. P. Morgan, usually esteemed as a money king and builder of trusts, is in real ity only a servant of John D. Rocke feller, was the gist of a report by Burd-tte Townsend. a former special United States investigator, which was presented to the house committee in vestigating the steel trust today. Chairman Stanley declared the re port, which was. made in 1908, to Former Attorney General Bonaparte, proved conclusively that the prose cution of the steel trust under the Sherman law would nave been suc cessful. Townsend asserted in the report that the trust controlled 90 per cent son-in-law of Rockefeller. The Mc cormick family, therefore, is already distantly related by marriage with he great American family of trusts. "Morgan is the trust architect usually employed by the Rockefellers. He is a good trust builder and re ceives fabulous tees. George W. Per kins is his associate." The report goes on to state that the Rockefeller interests would ultimate ly secure control of the harvester trust.

GEORGE HOLDS GHISllf MAY WAR SITUATION HAVE KILLED 16 England to Make Present Chancellor Secretary of Foreign Affairs. CANCELS PROPOSED TRIP OE WARSHIP FLEET Premier Asijiiith Will Tomorrow Com mit fJovernmeiit in Address to the House of Commons British and Gorman Pre Sound War Warnings London, July 26. War between England and Germany was brought appreciably nearer today by the semi official announcement that Chancel lor Lloyd George may become secre tary of foreign affairs. If appointed, this means that George's recent speech, warning Ger many to keep her hands off of Mor rocco, has received the official sanc tion jf the British cabinet. Diplomats say this is tantamount to a war threat. That the government believes th chances are good for trouble, is seen in the cancellation of the Atlantic fleet's Norwegian cruise. This will hold the bulk of English warships near England and ruady for any emer gency that may arise. Asipiith to Discuss Breach. The greatest interest is expressed in the announcement that Premier Asr;uith will discuss the Morroccan situation in the house of commons to morrow. i It is believed that Mr. Asquith will definitely commit the government to a policy of resistance to German ag gression, which Lloyd George an nounced. If he does, there is every probabil ity that matters will soon reach a crisis and that the long shaky peace of Europe may break. The Rritish and German press both devote much space to the difficulty. Both issue grave warnings. The Ber lin Tageblatt says: "England's methods of dictating her will to Germany and France in their negotiations publicly, instead of exchanging ideas diplomatically, is no longer considered by Germany as jus tifiable."

Santa Rosa, Cal., July 26. By re cent discoveries made by the author, ties of this place, it is probable thai a series of murders that will equal the H. H. Holmes affairs of Chicago several years ago, will be fastened up on "Doctor" L. C. Chisholm, who waa recently convicted of the murder of John Powell. Doctor Chisholm is suspected by tha officers of criminal practices, in con nection with his acquaintances of six teen different women, several of whom have mysteriously disappeared and are believed to have been mi dered by him. One of the alleged crimes, that tha authority are more certain of fast ening on Chisholm, is that of Minna Bassi, whom they believed was mur dered on Mount Tamalpias, after be ing closely associated with, Chishoha on a number of different occasion. If the clothing that was found oa the skeleton of the dead woman, caa be identified as that of the young Bassi woman, District Attorney Boy4 has announced that he will hava Chisholm brought here, from the FoL som prison, to stand trial and will leave no stone unturned In trying ta secure a conviction and punishment of death.
