DEMOCRATS DETERMINED THAT
' NOT ONE DREADN AUGHT
SHALL BE BUILT
LONG DEADLOCK TO BE RESULT
Senate Committed To Two Battleship
Program, Willing' To Com
promise On One House
Is Obstinate
WASHINGTON, July 24. Demo
crats of the House in caucus voted to
nfght, 7 to 62, not to recede from their
"no battleship" program in the naval
appropriation bill. A determined ef
fort was made to have the caucus ap
prove a compromise with the Senate,
whereby the House would agree to
the construction of one sea-fighter.
Representative' Fitzgerald, chairman
of the appropriation committee, led
the opposition to the proposal on the
ground of economy.
The action of the caucus further
complicates the adjournment plans of
the leaders of both -the Senate and
House. The naval appropriation bill
is in conference, and today's caucus
was ordered in an effort to break a
deadlock that has prevailed for some
time with no apparent chance that it
could be broken.
The Senate, committed to a two-battleship
building program, was willing
to compromise on one vessel this year.
It has expressed its determination not
to recede further.
"What will be the effect of today's
action?" Chairman Padgett, of the
House naval affairs committee and
leader of the House conferees, was
asked when the caucus adjourned.
"Heaven alone knows," he answer
ed. "I'm just going to 'sit on the log,'
and I don't know what the outcome
will be. However, we'll probably be
here until frost arrives."
Representative Sulzer, chairman of
the foreign affairs committee offered
a resolution that two battleships be
provided, and that objections to the
Senate amendment be withdrawn. Al
though Mr. Sulzer had several sup
porters, Chairman Padgett moved to
amend this proposition by substitut
ing one such vessel, which would be
the "last word" in naval construction.
Majority Leader Underwood, Repre
sentatives Murray of Massachusetts
and Pou of North Carolina, with sev
eral others, supported Mr. Padgett's
suggestion. Mr. Murray, who repre
sents the district in which the Charles
town Navy-yard is situated, confessed
he was in favor of the big fighting
craft, but that, in the present temper
of the two Houses of Congress, he be
lieved a compromise was necessary to
expedite public business.
The debate was growing acrimoni:
ous when Representative Burnett, of
Alabama, moved that the entire sub
ject be tabled. There immediately en
sued a scene of confusion, but the de
mand for a roll call on the proposal
was carried, with the result that the
caucus voted to stand by its previous
decision.
Several ineffectual attempts were
made to have the caucus vote to re
lease its members from the pledge ex
acted by the previous caucus not to
vote for battleships this year.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 24.
Men and women of the exclusive set
of two continents crowding about fan
tan tables operated by slant eyed Ce
lestials on board the Pacific Mail liner
Korea during the voyage from the or
ient to San Francisco were the condi
tions that obstained oh shipboard
night and day during the entire trip,
according to depositions by prominent
passengers filed here today with Unit
ed States District Attorney John L.
McNab.
Chinese members of the crew oper
ated eight to ten fantan tables on the
main deck, among the first class pas
sengers, and in full view of the prom
enade deck, at all, hours of the night
and day, state the depositions. Wot
men high in social circles and men
whose names are known around the
world crushed about the Chinese gam
blers for a chance to play.
The patronage of the tables is said
to have been almost exclusively from
the first cabin passengers. Thous
ands of dollars changed hands, and
frequently the bejewel fingers of the
social leaders touched the greedy
palms of the Chinese who manipulat
ed the cards. When mesh purses were
drained, borrow and exchanging of I.
O. U.'s were resorted to. The scene
was a miniature Monte Carlo, accord
ing to those who watched the playing.
According to the depositions of pas
sengers, the Chinese members of the
crew, who were not hindered by the
ship's officers, are paid a wage of $7
per month by the Pacific Mail Com
pany, and passengers making the dep
ositions declare their belief that the
officials of the company make no ap
parent attempt to prevent the poorly
paid crews from swelling their income
. over the gaming tables.
A score of passengers, according to
United States District Attorney Mc
Nab, drew up resolutions to protest
against what they termed the dis
graceful conditions that obtained
aboard the ship and as soon as the
Korea had landed placed the protest
in the hands of Pacific Mail officials.
They assert that they received no an
swer to their communication. The
chief deponent was John N. Mills,
promient business man of Evanston,
Ind.
McNab declared today that he would
make a thorough investigation of the
alleged prevalance of gambling
aboard Pacific liners, although he has
not determined what jurisdiction his
office may have in handling the situation.

MR.AND MRS J. D. GRAT AND
FRIENDS RETURN FROM
HAZARDOUS TRIP
IE MIRED SEVERAL TIMES
Bridge Is Built And Motorists Fre
quently Have To Use Shovels
To Extricate Their
Automobile
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Grant of 157 King
street, Portland, who passed through
this city July 17 on their way to the
Siletz Bay in their pathfinding auto
mobile, Flanders 20 Studebaker, were
in Oregon City Wednesday afternoon
on their way to their home in Port
land. Mr. and Mrs. Grant had a de
lightful trip. In the party were Wil
liam Burton, secretary of the Newport
Commercial Club, Mr. Kelsey editor
of the Newport Signal, and a photo
grapher of Newport. This trip of
pathfinders was under the auspices of
the Newport Commercial Club, and it
is the only automobile that has made
the trip over the mountainous roads.
Many hardships were endured by the
party, but during the whole trip they
had no accidents, and the machine
upon its return to Newport was in as
good condition as when starting out.
Extra tires were taken along, but were
not needed. The men went supplied
with axes and shovels, and these were
used on many occasions in getting the
machine out of mire. In several in
stances places along the way the mire
was up to the hubs of the automobile,
and the men were forced to cut down
trees to place beneath the machine,
and the shovels were brought into
commission in digging out the machine
Deep sand also was a menace to the
travelers. Several streams were ford
ed by the party, and a temporary
bridge was constructed across John
son Creek, as the tide was too low to
allow the automobile to pass along the
beach.
The party left Newport Saturday
morning, July 29, at 7:30 o'clock, and
the first stop was made at Jump-off
Rock on the beach above Newport.
The party visited "Seon Lion" Char
lie, an old town character of-Newport,
who has made his headquarters along
the beach at that place for the past
twenty-five years, and who is familiar
with every nook and corner along the
beach extending for miles. He is 72
years of age, and has spent several
years in guiding parties to many of
the interesting points at that summed
resort. For four years he was em
ployed at the Life Saving Station at
Cape Foulweather. In former years
he made his living by catching sea
lion, from which he derived the name
of "Sea Lion Charlie." After visiting
the old seaman for a few hours the
party proceeded on its journey along
the coast, stopping at the lighthouse
at Cape Foulweather, then on along
the beach to Bald mountain, passing
through Johnson Creek, Monterey
Creek and other streams. The Dev
il's Punch bowl was visited as were
also the picturesque Elephant Rock,
Otter Rock and Rabbit Rock. On to
the top of Bald mountain tBe party
proceeded until the great geyser was
reached. This geyser is of cave-like
formation, and in the center of this
is an opening through the rocks, this
being 12 inches in diameter. During
the high tide the waves from the
ocean are forced through this apen
ing and spouting 100 feet in the air.
Mr. Grant stated that the scenery in
the country extending from Newport
to Siletz Bay is marvelous..
After reaching Siletz Bay the party
was fatigued, and was glad to have
a rest. There is a small settlement of
Polish people there who have taken
up homesteads. They had heard ear
lier in the day that an automobile
would be at their settlement, and upon
the arrival of the pathfinders there
was much excitement. Several fami
lies convinced that the machine was
not dangerous, were photographed,
while seated in the automobile, one of
the women even taking the pains to
attire herself in her confirmation dress
wearing a wreath of flowers.
Mr. and Mrs. Grant made the trip
to Newport by way of the Little Elk
River, passing through Toledo and Ya
quina, but returned by another route,
which was much better than the otuer
one. They visited Corvallis, Salem,
Independence and Oregon City on the
return trip, and their automobile as it
passed through this city on its way
to Portland bearing a large placard,
"Yep, We Made the Trip to Siletz Bay
in 23 Hours," and covered with mud,
as though it had been in a landslide,
attracted much attention.
M. E. Park automobile dealer of this
city, stated that he had traveled
through the country by team which
was traveled by Mr. Grant and party,
and was surprised that such a trip
could be made by automobile and in
such good time.

FOUR PERSONS ARE
HURT SAME DAY
Monday was unlucky day for sever
al families in Clackamas County, in
the vicinty of Oregon City, when four
accidents, one of which almost proved
fatal, were on record in the office of
Dr. M. C. Strickland.
Club Bushor, a young man aboiiff
nineteen years of age, and who is em
ployed on the Adams farm at Maple
Lane, while in the act of cutting wood
nearly cut, his hand off. The ax slip
ped striking his wrist, and the sharp
blade almost severed the hand. The
artery in the wrist was severed, and
he was rushed to this city in a buggy.
At the instance of Dr.Strickland the in
jured man was placed in the former's
automobile and brought to his office,
where he fainted' from loss of blood.
It was necessary for Dr. Strickland to
give the young man an anaesthetic
upon the arrival at his office, and re
quired several stitches to close the
wound. There will be no ill effects
from the injury, but it will be sever
al weeks -before Bushor will -have the
use of his hand.
Mrs. Grant Critser, who resides near
New Era, and while on her way home
Monday afternoon was thrown from
her buggy, the Jiorse she was driving
becoming frightened at sveral tramps
who suddenly appeared near a water
ing trough near New Era. Mrs. Crit
ser's injury caused synovitis of the
knee, and will confine her to her home
for several weeks.
The little child of Mr. and Mrs. Grif
fith Roberts, who reside at Beaver
Creek, fell from a porch at the family
home Monday afternoon, breaking the
collar bone of the little one.
The one-year-old baby of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Clark met with an acci
dent Monday while playing on a porch
causing an injury to the shoulder.
WILLAMETTE SCHOOL WORK
IS N EARING COMPLETION
Work is progressing on the addi
tion of the Willamette school build
ing. The contractors are Tozier &
Wilkinson. H. H. Bean, of Gladstone,
who has had the contract for the plas
tering of the building completed his
work Wednesday. The woodwark In
the interior of the building Is now un
der way. When the building is com
pleted Willamette will have one of the
finest school buildings in the county.
A small classified ad will rent that
vacant room. ,
PLAN ORGANIZATION
Sawmill owners in Oregon and Wash
ington catering to the foreign trade
are at work on the organization of a
large central selling agency throuh
which it is planned to handle the bus
iness now done individually and
throuh brokers. It will be organized
along lines similar to those of selling
agencies handling rail business, of
which there is one in Portland, the
Douglas Fir Sales company with of
fices in the Yeon building Portland.
O. M. Clark, of the Clark & Wilson
Lumber company is chairman of a
temporary organization effected a few
days ago at a meeting in Tacoma and
another meeting will be held there to
morrow to further discuss the mapped
out plans and if possible perfect the
organization. As the plans are yet
tentative, the question of headquarters
has not been decided, but one of the
principal lumber shipping ports in one
of the two states will be selected, and
it is understood that local branches
probably will also be maintained. The
agency will have representatives in all
of the principal lumber markets in the
world where Pacific northwest lumber
finds a sale, and it is hoped also that
new markets may be developed by co
operation and concerted action.
Oregon and Washington annually
send away millions of feet of lumber,
the prepondering percentage of which
is Longlas fir, aand the marketing cost
is said to be a very material item of
expense. By centralizing the busi
ness it is believed, too, that orders can
by filled to better advantage as one
calling for immediate delivery maybe
divided among a number of mills af
filiated with the agency. This is be
ing done to a certain extent by the
brokers now, but by organization the
mills will be in a position to handle a
larger volume of business' direct.
"Plans are yet tentative," said Mr.
Clark when asked for an outline of
the project, "but we expect to hold a
meeting tomorrow and then it will
probably be possible to make a more
definite announcement."
BABY NAMED AFTER
DEMOCRATIC LEADER
Of course it had to happen and Ore
gon' City is first in the limelight
There was born to the wife of William
Brady Rambo July 10, a son. Tne par
ents of the boy were undecided just
what to name it, and their physician,
Dr. M. C. Strickland, came to their
rescue. Mr. and Mrs. Rambo, being ar
dent Democrats, Dr. Strickland sug
gested that the new , arrival on this
mundane sphere be named after that
new arrival in Democratic leadership,
Dr. Woodrow Wilson, and it was done.
So the baby's name is Woodrow Wil
son Rambo.
4 MONTHS' HEN LAYING
P. M. Hart,, the photographer of this
city, has a chicken that has become
famous. It is of the Ancona breed,
and although only four and one-half
months old, is laying. Mr. Hart has
more than 150 chickens on his place
SJn Twelfth street, most of them being
of the Ancona breed, while a few are
of mixed breed.
IT
BE OBTAINED AT ONCE
E. L. Shaw Wednesday issued an uV
timatum against owners of dogs who
have not taken out licenses for their
pets.
, "The law is one of the plainest on
the books of the city," said Shaw,
"and it must be enforced. If owners
of dogs do not obtain licenses their
pets will be taken to the pound at
once, and it will cost them not only
the license fee, but $1 additional to
redeem the animals. The city is de
termined that an owners of dogs ob
tain licenses, and now is the time to
obtain them.' '
The license for a male dog is $1 and
for a female dog $3. The dog catcher
has been instructed to take all dogs
that have not the license tags on their
collars to the pound.
GLADSTONE MAN INVENTS

OTHER MURDERS
EXPECTED IN N Y.
KILLING OF GAMBLER ON BROAD
WAY IS THOUGHT TO BE
ONLY START
DISTRICT ATTORNEY IS IN FEAR
Whitman Employs Burns To Run
Down Band Of Slayers Ha
beas Corpus Writ
Denied
NEW YORK, July 24 That other
murders may follow the sensational,
killing of Herman Rosenthal, to pre
vent revelation of the alleged complic
ity of New York police with the gamb
lers' ring, is generally believed here to
day following an elleged attempts to
"wipe out" Attorney Levy, counsel for
Louis Libby and William Shapira, now
in the Tombs for complicity in the Ro
senthal crime.
Levy, whose clients are believed to
have confessed their share in the gang
murder, declares that -last night his
house was 'jimmied' and ransacked in
his absence. He believes his life was
sought. . N
The burglarizing of Levy's home,
following upon receipts of various
threats by anonymous persons to kill
District Attorney Whitman unless his
fight on the police is dropped, is said
to be causing Whitman the greatest
uneasiness. Despairing of , obtaining
the evidence he seeks against Rosen
thal's slayers through the medium of
his own detectives, Whitman is said
to have concluded arrangements with
William J. Burns to take their trail
and all the acumen of Burns' agency
is understood to have been brought
into play today to solve what still is
one of the greatest mysteries uncov
ered in New York in years.
Circulars asking for the arrest of
Whitey Lewis, "Lefty" Loewe, Samuel
Sheps, Harry Horrowitz and "Lago
Frank," in connection with the murder
of Herman Rosenthal, the New York
gambler, were sent to the police de
partments of all big cities today by the
local authorities. This action follow
ed the testimony given before the
grand jury . yesterday by Rosenthal's
widow, and conversations in the
Tombs between William Shapira and
Louis Libby gotten by means of dic
tographs. The application for a writ of habeas
corpus sought for Webber was denied
by Justice Giegrish and the hearing of
the application in- behalf of Samuel
Paul was continued .
A new theory concerning the escape
of the murderers of Rosenthal was ad
vanced today by District Attorney
Whitman.
Whitman thinks it possible that the
"murder automobile" was purposely
left where the license number would
be discernible as a "blink"; that the
accomplices of the murderers entered
it, while the real slayers walked away
unnoticed.
That the dictagraph has played an
important part in the collection of ev
idence against the men alleged to be
concerned in the conspiracy to put
Rosenthal out of the way was fully es
tablished today. Deputy 'Police Com
missioner Dougherty asserts that a
"murder purse" was collected and paid
over to the murderers on the night of
the crime. The men who received the
money and the amount each received
is known to both Whitman and Dough
erty. This evidence was gotten
through the dictagraph. Dougherty re
sorting to a ruse to arrange .Webber's
house with the instrument.
When Webber was brought down
from his house to have a talk with
Dougherty he was treated courteously
the commissioner explaining" that we
merely want you as a witness." Dough
erty was quite willing when Webber's
attorney suggested that he be releas
ed on $100 bail.
The commissioner wanted to give
Webber Time to bring his suspected al
lies into the case. Soon on Saturday
the commissioner sent again for Web
ber, and jater two veiled women were
brought down to headquarters. It later
developed that these women were con
nected with the Webber household
While Webber and the members of his
family were away from home the dic
tagraph was being installed, and Com
missioner Dougherty declares that it
has done it work thoroughly.
SHOOTS HIS RIVAL
AND KILLS HIMSELF
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 24. Mrs.
Mamie Gary and Frank Faulken, a
boarder at her home, were sitting on
"her front porch with her 12-year-bld
son today when Simon Gary, husband
of Mrs. Gary, from whom she had
heen separated, approached them.
"Hello, everybody," said Gary, as he
kissed his wife and shook hands with
Faulkner. "Wife, get me a drink of
water; and son, hurry in the house
and get ready to go to a picture show."
After the woman and boy left the
porch five shots rang out In quick suc
cession. Two wounded Faulkner, two
went wild and the last entered Gary's
heart, killing horn instantly.
Letters found in Gary's pocket,
charging Faulkner with destroying his
home, indicated Gary intended to kill
Faulkner and commit suicide. Faulk
ner, it was said, will recover. Gary
was 35 years old, his wife is 33 and
Faulkner is 30.

Badger Letter
Denounced
Arrangements were made Wednes
day for lighting with cluster electric
lamps the block on the-West Side of
Main Street between Sixth and Sev-'
enth. The merchants on the block
have agreed to subscribe the money to
install four posts the cost of each to
be in the neighborhood of $75. Those
subscribing to the fund will have to
pay about fifty cents a month each
for electricity. Mayor Dimick and the
city council have consented to the
erection of the poles inasmuch as they
will give the city a metropolitan ap
pearance. The Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company, which re
cently opened an office in the Beaver
Building, will erect one pole for lights
H. L. Young, Commercial Manager of
the Oregon City office of the company,
declares that the lights are of thei
latest design and will give much more
light than the present ones. Each
cluster will have four globes, the same
as are being installed in the main
streets of Portland.
It is believed that after the lights
have been tested the city council will
have them placed along the entire
length of Main street and that the city
will relieve the merchants, who were
first to install the new lights, of the
cost. It is a foregone conclusion that
the overhanging lights will be remov
ed when the new ones are installed.
A member of the street committee
of the city council announced Wednes
day evening that the work on John
Quincy Adams and Monroe streets
was progressing rapidly. The grading
on both streets has about been com
pleted "and rock is being laid. The
statement of R. L. Badger, that the
work on Molalla avenue is not being
properly done was denied Wednesday
by several members of the city coun
cil. They declare that Mr. Badger
was either misinformed or desired to
cause a discussion. The street that
is being built will be forty feet wide
and will be one of the best in the city.
