TAFT CRITICISED
BYU. S.SENATE
SOLONS CENSURE PRESIDENT
FOR ACTION IN LORIMER
CASE
DEMOCRATS LEAD IN BIG FIGHT
Resolution, Introduced By Bailey, Is
Supported By Only Six Re
publicans Amendment
Is Carried
WASHINGTON, July 16. The Sen
ate indirectly today rebuked President
Taft for his course in connection with
the Lorimer case. Once blocked from
a vote by the Archbald impeachment
proceedings, a resolution, battle-scarred
in a protracted, bitter debate, fin
ally was adopted 35 to 23, denouncing
"any attempt on the part of a Presi
dent exercise the power of his office
to influence a vote on a question with
in the Senate's exclusive jurisdiction."
The resolution originally was fram-.
ed by Senator Bailey, who had arraig
ned President Taft, asserting he had
been "officious and meddlesome" in
endeavoring to line up regular Repub
lican Senators in the Lorimer case,
and as adopted read:
"Resolved, That any attempt on the
part of a President of the United
States to exercise the powers and in
fluence of his great office for the pur
pose of controlling the vote of any
Senator upon a question involving a
right to a seat in the Senate, or upon
any other matter within the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Senate, would vio
late the spirit if not the letter of the
Constitution and invade the rights of
the Senate."
Not a Democrat voted against the
resolution, but six Republicans voted
for it. Republicans who voted for it
were Senators . Bourne, Clapp, Fell,
Gallinger, McCumber and Works. Dem
ocrats who voted for the resolution
were Ashurst, Bacon, Bailey, Bryan,
Chamberlain, Culberson, Fletcher,
Gardner, Hitchcock, Johnson, John
ston, Martin, Martine, Newlands, O'
Gorman, Overman, Percy, Pomerene,
Reed, Smith, of Georgia, Smith of
Maryland, Smith of South Carolina,
Stone, Swanson, Thornton and Till
man. ,
Those Republicans who voted
against the resolution were Borah,
Brandegee, Bristow, Burnhom, Burt
on, Catron, Crawford, Cummins, Du
pont, Gronna, Jones,- Kenyon, Massey,
McLean, Nelson, Oliver, Page, Perk
ins, Root, Smith of Michigan, Smoot,
Sutherland and Townsend.
Senator Bailey, who introduced the
resolution, denounced the course of
President Taft as described in a let
ter the President, wrote to Colonel
Roosevelt on January 6, 1910, which
the President made public in a recent
speech in the Massachusetts primary.
The original resolution was directed
at Presidential influence of votes on
the right of Senators to retain their
seats. When Senator Bailey conclud
ed he accepted an amendment offered
by Senator McCumber striking out
words of condemnation from the reso
lution and extending it to other mat
ters within the exclusive jurisdiction
of the Senate. He also accepted an
amendment by Senator Heyburn, to
insert the word "would," so as to
make the resolution more impersonal.

Oregon, in common with millions of
voters throughout the land, believing

National convention at Chicago failed
to fairly and fully represent the wish

"tn such a manner as to bind the con
sciences of honest men, or so as to
secure and command their respect,
and to determine their political acts
in the pending campaign, and
"Whereas ,a call has been made by
citizens of some 40 states of our Re

IC QAMPAIGN
MILLIONAIRE FRANK IN REPLYING
WitnessUnable To Tell Exact Amount
Of Fund, But Thinks It
Was $600,000 Or
$700,000
WASHINGTON, July 16. A quarter
of a million dollars was the estimate
which August Belmont, testifying to
day before the Senate committee in
vestigating, .campaign contributions
placed upon his contributions to the
Democratic National fund in 1904. He
was not sure that was the sum, but
was "satisfied to let it go at that."
"My habit has been that if I feel
responsible for anything, my obliga
tion is not measured by dollars and
cents," said Belmont, when Senator
Paynter asked if his large contribu
tions embarrassed him. Belmont was
a member of the campaign executive
committee that year.
Belmont told first of advancing $50,
000 to the Democratic National com
mittee. He said he had been reim
bursed $42,000.
"Those committees always start out
that way," he explained. "They ask
for advances and then begin to raise
funds. Later they, reimburse me so
that the balance of $8000 only was a
contribution." i
The capitalist remembered he had
paid "two small items' of $1000 each
to Maurice Cucor, a Hungarian leader
in New York.
Senator Jones asked Belmont for
the total of his contributions.
"Was it more than $50,000?"
"Oh, yes."
"$100,000?"
"It must have been more than that."
"Was it $250,000?" asked Senator
Jones.
"I doubt it. I have tried to remem
ber, but I find I cannot," said Bel
mont. Senator Jones tried a new tack. .
"Did you contribute by cash or
check?"
"Very often by cash."
"And check?' queried Senator Payn
ter. "Seldom by check. I cannot remem
ber the exact amount, hut I am satis
fied with an estimate of $250,000."
"Do you care to give any reasons
why you gave so large an amount as
$250,000?" asked Senator Jones.
"I was very active in the nomina
tion," began Belmont, "and had been
selected to serve on the committee, so
when funds did not come in, I just
contributed. I never intended to make
any such contribution but when defi
cits arose I contributed.
Belmont was asked if he had any
understanding of reward from Judge
Parker, the Presidential candidate.
"From the very outset, Judge Par
ker was a free and independent man
and remained so."
"Nor did yQu expect to have any
special legislation?" Senator Paynter
asked.
"None whatever. There was no in
terest with which I was connected
that could be helped by special legis
lation." Belmont was unable to give an ac
curate estimate of the total funds at
the disposal of the Democratic Na
tional committee in 1904. When Sen
ator Clap asked if it were a million
dollars, he "guessed" it was not more
than $600,000 or $700,000.
shall be represented in this council of
the Nation, at the lake's side, now,
therefore, to further that good inten
tion we hereby call a mass meeting
of citizens of this state to convene
at the East Side Library hall, corner
of East Eleventh and East Alder
streets, Portland, Or., at 10 o'clock A.
M., of Thursday, July 25, 1912, to take
such action as may be necessary, and
to elect five delegates "to represent
Oregon in the National convention at
Chicago, August 5, 1912. All citizens
who are in sympathy with our views
and purposes are cordially invited to
meet with us, without regard to prev
ious political affiliations."
POLICE HAVE NAMES
WHY. I
NEW YORK, July 16. Through the
alleged confession of a man under ar
rest, the police are believed to have
possession of the names of seven men
suspected of having participated in
the sensational killing today of Her
man Rosenthal, the gambler, just as
he was presumably about to make im
portant additions to his recent dis
closures of alleged partnership be-,
tween police officials and .members of
the gambling fraternity. Additional
arrests are momentarily expected.
According to District Attorney Whit
man, Rosenthal was about to name
gamblers who could corroborate his
assertions, regarding police collusion
with men of his calling.
LAMB ESTATE SETTLED
A final settlement has been approv
ed by Judge Beatie in the estate of
Henry B. Lamb, who died August 15,
1892. The estate is valued at $1,000.
A small classified ad will rent that

Adolph Fisher, of Portland, whose
right leg was cut off by a street car
in this city Sunday night, was- in a
precarious condition at the Oregon
City Hospital early today. His phys
icians, Dr. Rockey, General surgeon
of the O. W. P., and Dr .H. S. Mount,
said the man's condition was such
that an operation could not be per
formed for several hours. Fisher 'was
delirious most of the night, and it was
necessary to pump a saline solution
into his veins to keep him alive. The
physicians think if he lives until to

REGISTER MILK SUPPLY
O. E. Freytag, manager of the Pub
licity Department of the Commercial
Club, announced Tuesday that the
Swiss American Products Company
would locate here, if it were assured
of a sufficient milk supply. The com
pany will use the product of 2,000
cows and unless assured of an ade
quate supply of milk will locate its
plant elsewhere. Mr. Freytag is do
ing all he can to interest the farmers
in the project, and urges them to reg
ister at his office the amount of milk
they can supply. He assures them
that the new company will in no
way interefere with the creameries at
Stone, Molalla and' Canby, for the milk
obtained by it must be in addition to
that used by. the creameries.
HORSEBACK LASS PUTS

News was received in this city Tues
day concerning Miss Alberta Claire,
who rode horseback over the continent
and made many friends in Oregon City
while sojourning here. Miss Claire
was accompanied by her large dog on
the trip she made crossing the conti
nent. The following is taken from a New
York exchange:
"Alberta Claire is the girl, who put

she skipped airly up the ladders, 750
feet above Broadway, wi'.h nothing be

THE ANNUAL COMEDY.
"HIKING NELL" RIDES
IN STYLE FROM CITY
"Hiking Nell" probably the best
known hobo of her sex, was arrested
in Canby late Monday night. She was
thought to be insane. When brought
to this city Tuesday by George Ogle,
Sheriff Mass at once discovered that
the woman was not only not insane,
but was one of the shrewdest panhan
dlers operating in these parts.
"What's your name?" asked the
sheriff.
"Hiking Nell," was the reply.
"I mean your real name."
"I have no real name only "Hiking
Nell' and you bet I know my biz."
"Where are you going Nell?" asked
the sheriff. -
"Oh, any old place. I never have
no destination. I just drop off the
cars any place they put me off."
The woman said she was thirty-two
years of age and had been a tramp
ever since she was fifteen. She said
she had beaten her way across the
continent six times.
"I'm at home in Gotham," said
"Hiking Nell." Broadway? Why that
is my habitat when I am in the big
town. What youse keeping me here
for anyway? Why if 'Slim Pete' and
'Handy Mike' down on the Bowery
knew about this houtrage there would
be something doing somewhere in the
neighborhood of the intersection of
Rivingtoh. And believe, muh, 'Little'
Tim Sullivan would help some too."
Sheriff Mass had a suspicion that
his prisoner might be a man for sever
al minutes, but when she unrolled her
coiffure and displayed locks that al
most reached her waist, he was con
vinced that -his suspicion was not well
founded. County Judge Beatie, aftef
hearing the story decided it would be
a good plan for Oregon City to be
come rid of "Hiking Nell" as soon as
possible, so the county till was open
ed and enough money was given her
to take her to Portland. Sheriff Mass
watched her until she boarded a
"This is easy," said the trans-continental
hoboess, as she disappeared in
the car. "I guess it beats hiking,"
was the last sentence she uttered that
was heard by Sheriff Mass.

Blamed
Mrs. Nettie Walsh, who shot and
killed her four-year-old son, fatally
wounded herself, and tried to kill her
husband, Robert H .Walsh in Portland
Tuesday morning, was on murder bent
while on a trip to Oregon City last
Saturday two weeks ago. But for Dep
uty Sheriff Miles she probably would
have kiled her husband and the wo
man she alleges .despoiled her home.
Mrs. Walsh, who lives at 848 East
Stark street, Portland, pursued her
husband in an automobile from Port
land to Oregon City and back to Oak
Grove and intercepted him in the com
pany of a girl said to be a stenograph
er in a taxicab office. Deputy Sheriff
Miles, who went from this city with
the woman and two detectives, took
a pistol from her. Walsh and the
girl were found in a cabin and Mrs.
Walsh begged that she be given the
pistol so she could shoot the girl and
her husband. Walsh was arrested but
released when he and his wife made
a temporary truee.
"If I had not taken the pistol away
from the woman murder would have
been committed," said Deputy Sheriff
Miles.
Robert Walsh was in the dining
room of the house which is a small
bungalow early Tuesday. Just after
finishing breakfast, he was talking to
his wife about a trip they had plan
ned to take to Seattle to attend the
Potlach. The couple were to leave in
the" afternoon. Mrs. Walsh was stand
ing near the kitchen door when sud
denly she cried:
"Well, this is the way we are going
to finish it."
Hardly had she spoken before she
pulled out Walsh's large 38 Colts re
volver from behind her back and open
ed fire. Walsh grappled with her and
believed he had wrested the gun from
her hand before she fired again, the
bullett passing within a few inches
of his head. Walsh made for the kit
chen doer and ran.,
Fearing the worst; he ran across the
street and telephoned to the police
station, saying that his wife was mur
dering the baby. Patrolmen Sherill
and Caison, and Detective Tichnor
rushed to the scene in the police aut
omobile. After firing at her husband Mrs.
Walsh went into the front bedroom
where the baby had hidden as soon
as the first shots had been fired.
Pointing her gun at her only baby,
she fired the bullet striking the little
fellow in the back. The child ran
screaming through the parlor and din
ing room into the back bedroom.
Hardly had he reached the door be-

was the all-absorbing topic. The for
um hour for Woman's Day started
"suffrage" on a free and unrestricted
course at 11 a. m. and the meeting
lasted clear through the noon hour un
til 1 : 30. There was a scramble for a
bite to eat and within 40 minutes the
1500 friends . of the movement were
again in the auditorium to hear the
speaker of the afternoon, Miss Helen
Varick Boswell, the young woman
chosen by President Taft for Wom
en's Club organization work in Pana
ma. Suffragists, anti-suffragists and
not a few "non-committals"' thronged
the auditorium, and though it was a
"suffrage day," those opposed to the
movement and who dared to face the
"Votes For Women" contingent, were,
given the constitution guaranty of free
speech to voice their reasons why wo
men should not be allowed the privi
lege of the ballot. Among those who
dared was Dr. Clarence True Wilson,
a well known minister of Portland.
The morning hour beginning at 11
was in charge of the State League
of which Mrs. Scott Duniway is presi
dent. In her absence Mrs. Henry Wal
do Coe, presided. Under the leader
ship of Mrs. Rose Coursen Reed, the
woman's chorus of Washington High
school rendered two well received and
beautifully executed numbers, one be
ing the "Votes for Women" chorus.
Helen Miller Senn read an original
poem from the pen of the aged Mrs.
Duniway .Following, Mrs. Mary Wood
one of the visiting club delegates from
New York, spoke on the legal aspect
of suffrage, deploring particularly the
law that makes a woman entering a
house of ill repute liable to arrest, but
permits the man to go untouched. The
woman vote, according to Mrs. Wood,
was needed to remedy the economic
conditions which through low wages
and defective intelligence, create
