CANNON SHORN OF POWERS. Retains Speakership, but Removed from Committee on Rules. Washington, March 21. Joseph G. Cannon, of Danville, 111., is still speak er of the house of representatives. But he has lost the ancient prestige and weapon of that office when the allied Republican insurgents and Dem ocrats took from him not only the chairmanship of, but even membership in, the all-powerful committee on rules, the chief asset in his stock amid scenes of wildest disorder, for the like of which one must go back to the exciting days just prior to the Civil war per haps even those times might not dupli cate it the veteran Bpeaker, almost 74 years old, stood erect and defiant, his head "bloody but unbowed." At the end, when a big Texan Dem ocrat accepted the speaker's daring challenge and introduced a resolution to fling him out of the speakership, the Republican regulars and insurgents, with few exception, rallied with almost unbroken party front and gave him a vote which almost offset the "repudi ation of Cannonism." This is what happened: By a vote of 191 to 155. the Repub lican insurgents voting solidly with the Democrats, the house adopted the Lresolution of Representative Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, requiring a reorganization of the rules committee, increasing its membership from five to ten, and declaring the speaker ineligi ble to membership thereon. Bv the curiously identical vote of 191 to 155 but with a decidedly differ ent personnel of alignment the house defeated a resolution of Representative Burleson, of Texas, declaring the speakership vacant and ordering the immediate election of a successor to Mr. Cannon. The Norris resolution was as follows : N "There shall be a committee on rules, elected by the house, (hitherto the committee of five, like all other house committees, has been appointed by the speaker), consisting of ten members, six of whom shall be mem bers of the majority party. The speaker shall not be a member of the committee and the committee shall elect its own chairman from its own members. Resolved further, that with in ten days after the adoption of this resolution there shall be an election of this committee, and immediately upon its election the present committee on rules shall be dissolved." Representative Burleson's resolution follows : "Resolved, that the office of speaker of the house of representatives is here by declared to be vacant, and the house of representatives shall proceed to the election of a sepaker." 'BOGUS", PICTURE IS REAL. Artist, 72, Identifies 'Alleged "Fake" Canvas as Genuine. New York, March 21. F. Hopkin- son Smith, painter and author, was the chief witness today in the suit brought by William T. Evans against William Clausen, an art dealer, to recover $35, 000 for two pictures Evans bought from Clausen as genuine "Homer Martins," and which experts have pronounced bo gus. Homer Martin was one of the early American landscape painters. Mr. Smith said he is 72 years old, and some of his pictures had been hung in the Paris saloon. He is very posi tive in his testimony and pronounced the pictures involved in the Evans suit as unquestionably genuine. "The way the color here is shoved ahead of the brush," he continued, taking the painting "Normandie Bride" in hand, "is characteristic of Komer Martin. Again in this ' picture, he has let the paint dry 10 or 20 hours in places and-gone over it again, drag ging the brush along the surface. No man livirig copld imitate that" Mr. Smith said he had known Martin intimately and that he had seen him paint the very picture in question from a sketch. Steeple Jack Falls to Death. . Chicago, March 2L James Wilson, known as adaring steeplejack, fell 70 feet from a smokestack which he was painting at Twenty-fifth and LaSalle. He died shortly after he had been tak en to a hospital. Wilson intended this job to be his last before starting for Oklahoma, were he was to paint some smokestacks. Wilson created a sen sation some years ago when he essayed to shin up the t latiron building in New York. But he had not ascended more than eight stories when, the po lice ordered him to come dovni.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOP 2,000 ACRES TO FRUIT. Minneapolis Capitalists Buy Land Waldo Hills; Newell to Manage. Salem A deal was closed recently by which the A. U, Bohrnstedt com pany of Minneapolis has acquired near ly 200 acres of fruit land east of Sa lem, in what is known as the Waldo Hills. Under the caption of ' the Waldo Hills Orchard company, with a capitalization of $325,000, the land has Deen taKen up quietly by a group of local and Eastern men and is to be set out with apples and cherries exclu sively, and the latest horticultural methods applied to thetjract. W. K. Newell of Gaston, president of the state board of horticulture, will manage the company for the Bohrnstedt interests. Early in the fall of 1909, Bohrnstedt, with the board of directors of his company, to gether with Newell and some of the company's field men, made a trip of investigation in and around Salem with the result that the big purchase consummated was brought about. The Bohrnstedt company has recent ly planted out about 1,000 acres of fruit land near Creswell, in Lane coun ty, so they are not entirely strangers to Oregon. Mr. Newell also has been superintending the work in Lane coun ty for the Minneapolis capitalists. E, C. Amrstrong, county fruit inspector for Marion county, will be in direct charge of the orchard work for the agricultural corporation. C. A. Ra dell, who has been managing the Port land office of the Bohrnstedt people', will move his headquarters to Salem. The intention of the company is to set out immediately and in the coming winter 140 acres. During the winters of 1911 and 1912, 600 acres more will be set out, and the balance to follow as rapidly as posisble. 1,400 Acre Ranch Sold. Grants Pass The sale of 1,400 acres just east of this city, of which 650 acres are in cultivation, and under irri gation, to Eastern investors, has just been recorded. Most of the sou is red land especially adapted to fruit raising. The price was $100,000. Among the city sales was one to Dr. W. H. Flana gan, who acuqires a business block for $24,000. Real estate men declare that more property in the Rogue River valley will change hands this year than ever before. Many good or chards just coming into bearing com mand excellent prices. Prosperous Year at Incubator Plant. Eugene Eugene's incubator plant has had a remarkable spring business, which is just closing. The plant turns out 30 machines a day, parctically throughout the year, but the sales usually occur during the months of January and February. The factory building is 55x60 feet in dimensions and two stories high with basement. Every floor is filled with machinery of the latest pattern for the manufacture of the McClanahan incubators. New Road to Prineville. Redmond The proposed wagon road from Redmond to Prineville has been located. The new route will shorten the distance between Prineville and Redmond to abou 19 miles with easy grades. Besides clearing the sagebrush and trees and picking out some rock, the only work needed will be the build ing of two bridges about 20 feet long and turnkpiking about a mile of scab rock. Commercial Ciub for Canby. Oregon City Canby, our flourishing neighboring town, does not intend to be left behind in the marcn oi pro gress, and a meeting has been held there by the pvHic spirited citizens for the purpose oi orgafii2ing a com mercial club to help in exploiting the many resources of that section. Tom Richardson, manager of the Portland Commercial' club, will have an active part in the organization. North Albany to get Station. . Albany Residents of North Albany are jubilant over the announcement that the C. & E. railroad company will erect a station and make stops there With all passenger trains. The passen ger fare to and from Albany will be 10 cents each way. A side track and freight station will also be put in, thus dispensing with the trouble of having to haul freight by wagon from Albany. Telephone Lines for Deschutes. Redfnond To construct a number of telephone lines throughout the Des chutes valley is the purpose of the Des-t-hutes Co-operative Telephone associa tion, incorporated here. The company takes over the business of the Red mond Telephone company, with 70 members. Construction of new lines will begin as soon as the weather will permit. Big Profit on Farm. Central Point A. Bails has sold 30 acres to S. Anderson, of Medford, the price being $9,000. Mr. Bails bought a tract two years ago for $10,000, and after selling a portion of it for $6,000, sold the remainder at a price which gives him a nice profit on the invest ment. Bank st Hubbard. Hubbard Articles of incorporation have been filed in the secretary of state's office for the State bank of Hubbard. The incorporators are S. W. Weaver, G. M. Fry, J. L. Calvert, George N. Beck, George W. Knight and C. H. Trullinger. The capital stock is $10,000. HIT OF THE STATE GROWERS ORGANIZE UNION. Clackamas Farmers Prepare to Mar- ket Own Crops Direct. Oregon City A fruit growers' un ion has been organized here. All in terested in the raising of good fruit in this county are eligible for member ship. Among the prominent fruit growers of the county who were pres ent and made addresses on fruit cul ture were George Lazelle and W. S. Stafford, Mount Pleasant; E. S.Coe and A. M. Vinyard, Canby; A. J. Lew is, C. W. Swallow and M. Kupenbend er of Mapla Lane; Marshall Laze'le, Mount Peasant, and George DeBok, Willmette; Mr. Coe, in speaking of fruit grow ing in his part of the county said that John Newton, a new arrival in Clack amas county, who has purchased land in Canby, is now engaged in planting 75,000 strawberry plants that were brought from Three Rivers, Mich. Mr. Newton was one of the extensive berry growers of Michigan before com ing to Oregon. It is the intention of the Fruit Grow ers union in the near future to lease a building on Main street, where large supplies of fresh fruit will be sold at reasonable prices. This business will be carried on by the union. Survey New Road to Seaside. Seaside A force of Hill engineers and surveyors is engaged running a survey from Hammond, eight miles from Astoria on the Astoria & Colum bia River railway to Seaside and then up the Necanicum river. Within the past week the lines have been run to Seaside and now the engineers are working about two miles above Seaside, Despite the emphatic denials of mem bers of the crew that they are connect ed with any railroad, the engineer in charge of the work is a prominent bpokane, Portland & Seattle railway engineer. The survey skirts the beach from Hammond to Gearhart, from which point it follows the county road to Sea side, continuing to the bank of the Necanicum. This survey evidently is being made with the idea of heading off the Astoria, Seattle & Tillamook railway, on which it has been announc ed $50,000 will be spent in the next three months. That in the event of the electric road being pushed to a conclusion, as has been promised, the Astoria & Col umbia River railroad scenic line seems probable, for whereas at present the road runs from one to two miles from the beach, the route of the electric runs less than a half mile from the shore. The Hill survey is between this route and the ocean. In Seaside three months ago C. N. Flower, traveling freight and passenger agent, said that the road would shortly be moved to the beach. Clear Ground for Federal Building. Pendleton That Pendleton's Feder al building will soon be under way, occupants of buildings on the govern ment plot have been notified to vacate and have their buildings off the ground by May 1. This indicates that actual construction is to be started by that date. The most important buildings be to moved are a large rooming house and a two story residence. There are some other small buildings on the prop erty. PORTLAND MARKETS.

Court. Washington, March 19. The last word, by the lawyers, on the constitu tionality of the corporation tax was spoken this afternoon, and the Supreme court of the United States took under consideration the 15 cases in which the question arose. The day was consumed largely by the presentation of the government s de fense of the law by Solicitor-General Bowers, John J. Johnson, of Philadel phia, closed the attack on the tax, just Deiore court adjourned. One of the biggest side fights in con nection with the great contest was laid bare when Mr. Bowers insisted that "the net income from all sources, mentioned in the law as the basis of measuring the tax, included all the property of a corporation. vyiniam u, uutnrie ana his associ ates, Victor Morawets and Howard Vansinger, counsel for the Home Life Insurance company, insisted the law did not mean to include the income de rived directly from Federal, state or municipal securities or from real or personal property not used or employed in business. They advanced this doc trine on the theory that, if the tax were not levied on such property, the law would become clearly constitu! tional. Mr. Bowers argued that corporations cannot hold property that was not de voted to corporate business, either ac tively or passively. He cited the de cision of the Supreme court, holding the United States could levy an intern al revenue tax on the dispensary of South Carolina, as showing that the United States may tax utility corpor ations. Mr. Guthrie, counsel for the Home Life Insurance company, followed Mr. Bowers, arguing that Federal, state and municipal bonds and property not actively engaged in business are not subject to the tax. He also spoke for the constitutionality of the law as ap plied purely to a corporation's property actively used in business. In beginning his argument, Mr. Johnson said the argument of the solic itor general was one he would have been willing to listen to had it not been on the other side. As to Mr, n.il r -r i , uumrie, Mr. jonnson said he was a "wolf in sheep's clothing," whom he did not want on his side. What made the law so obnoxious, Mr. Johnson ex plained, was the publicity feature, whereby it was proposed to "embalm" the returns as a public record. ""How ever," he added, "the act must cut off a little higher up." FIREMEN ARE ANXIOUS; MAY STRIKE YET Chicago, March 19. After two days of almost continouus argument, the mediation between the representatives of 27,000 firemen and the general managers of 47 Western railroads, was still unconcluded at a late hour tonight It was stated the hearing would prob ably continue tomorrow. That the firemen are anxious for a prompt decision was made known by W. S. Carter, president of the Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen and En ginemen, who said the plan to call a strike next Monday morning had not been abandoned. It was learned the railroads are still determined to stand firm on their refusal to submit to arbi tration railroad rules governing disci pline. Both Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the Interstate Commerce commission, and Labor Commissioner Neill were confident their intervention wpuld re sult in a decision as to what questions shall be arbitrated. Mob Lynches Negroes. Marion, Ark., March 19. Bob Aus ten and. Charles Richardson, negroes, were lynched early today in the court house square by a mob of 300. men. The victims werre charged with aid ing a jail delivery here Monday night. Richardson was arrested in Memphis.' He confessed to complicity in the es cape of, prisoners and implicated Bob Austen The latter was apprehended arid early today a mob formed and marched to the jail. The negroes were seized and the hanging followed, despite all efforts of the authorities. Japs Let In Americans. Tokio, March 19. The govern ment's land ownership bill was passed by the lower house today. This meas ure permits the ownership of land in Japan by such foreigners only as -come from a country which extends similar privileges to Japanese residents. It has been stated in Tokio that Ameri cans would be given the right of owner ship in Japan, notwithstanding the re strictions placed upon Japanese immi grants by certain states in the Union. Japan America's Friend. New York, March 19. Japan is a firm friend of the United States, ac cording to a statement made here to day by Charles W. Fairbanks, ex-vice president, who arrived last night from his trip around the world. "While in Tokio," he said, "1 had a chat of two hours with the emperor, and while I am not at liberty to give the details of the conference, I can assure Amer ica that Japan is one of the best and staunchest friends we have." Indians Dying of Hunger. Victoria, B. C, March 19. Advices from Dawson say upwards of 100 In dians of the Dogrib nation have this winter perished of starvation at Great Slave lake. Mufhcrs just arrived bring heartbreaking taks of suffering in the nntive villages, the authenticity of which is all too fully confirmed. LAFEnll BILL DEAD Main Issue Changed from Boxes to Question of Grades. . Entire Product of East Becomes Sec ond Grade, and All Support Is Withdrawn. Washington, March 22. Congress, at this session at least, will not pass the Lafean bill to regulate the ship ment of apples in interstate commerce. The bill in an amended form may possi bly pass the house, but the subject is so vastly important to the apple in dustry of the whole United States that it cannot receive that consideration to which is it is entitled, and for that reason its final enactment seems out of the question so far as the present session is concerned. There is much more to the measure than was presumed when the bill was hearings introduced, and the recent before the house committee disclosed that the bill had many phases and two sides to every phase. At the opening of the hearings the friends of the measure dwelt upon the importance of changing the size of boxes now in use in the Pacific North west, so as to compel the apple grow ers of those states to adopt a box not now in use anywhere a box not at all adapted to the apples that have made Oregon and Washington famous. But before the hearing closed, the size of apple boxes was found to be a com paratively unimportant feature of the bill, and the standardization of grades became paramount provision, the both in the eyes of Eastern and Western ap ple growers and dealers. It was found, upon examination, that the bill provided for three standard grades of apples, and required mak- ng on each package of the grade con tained therein. Grade A, the best, un der the Lafean bill would be apples measuring two and one-half inches in diameter; grade B apples two and a quarter inches in diameter, and grade apples two inches in diameter. There was allowance for a variation of only half an inch in thethree grades. This standardization met the unquali fied approval of the New York, New England and Pennsylvania ap'ple grow ers and dealers in those and other Eastern states. But it met with decided opposition from the growers of the Pacific North west. DOUBLE WRECK ON O. R. &. N. Two Dead; Two Box Cars Engines and Demolished. Five Pendleton, March 22. Two men are ead, two engines demolished, and five loaded box-cars, with their contents, are piled in confused mass, as a result f a double wreck, the first in the his tory of the O. R. & N., which occurred eight miles east of Pendleton at 7:45 clock yesterday morning. The dead are Edward Hopple, La Grande, Or., and Engineer S.. L Risk, La Grande, Or. Engine No. 215, in charge of Engin eer Risk and Fireman Hopple, was running "light" without a train from Meacham to Umatilla, after hav ing helped extra freight No. 385 up the mountain from La Grande. In rounding a nine-degree curve at a point where the track skirts the Umatilla river on one side and runs under a high bluff on the other, the engine left the track and plunged .into the bluff. As both the engine and the .tender were clear of the rails, the block sig- al registered a "clear track" to the oncoming freight, 20 minutes behind the engine. The crew of the latter did not know of their danger until they dashed around, the sharp curve and ere almost "Upon the wreck. Man Drops Far, Bounces. Los Angeles, Cal., March 22. While ,000 people were watching Gene Sav age make .a descent at Long Beach.yes terday afternoon, his balloon collapsed when 300 feet from the ground and he plunged to the earth, hit on his feet, bounded up like a rubber ball and then fell backward on the curbing of Pacific avenue. He was unconsicous ior a lew minutes, but under medical attention quickly recovered. Examination showed that no bones were broken and he had no nternal injuries. He is sore and bruised and will have to keep to his bed for a few days. Cruisers Ready to Sail. San Francisco, March 22.
