FOR MEASURE-REJECTION LOSES BY BIG MAJORITY NATIONALISTS ARE IN HIGH GLEE Great Crowds in Lobbies and on Streets Join in Acclaiming Pre- mier Asquith and Redmond LONDON, Jan. 11. After a long battle the home rule bill passed the House of Commons tonight by a ma jority of 110, and was formally passed on for first reading in the House of Lords. There were two divisions in the Commons, Mr. Balfour's motion for its rejection being defeated, 258 to 36S, while the third reading was carried by 367 to 257.' Although the result of the division was a foregone conclusion, Irishmen out side and inside the House gave sendoff on its way to the Lords.j The the measure for which they had wait- . ed and worked for so long a great Nationalists waved hats, handkef chiefs and canes, and cheered lustily for Premier Asquith and Mr. Red mond, who so far forgot his usual impassivity as to join in the demon stration. The crowd in the lobbies received the result of the vote with another roar, and the bill itself was cheered as it was carried by an official through the lobbies of the House of Lords, where it formally passed its first read ing ' The crowds in the streets cheered loudly, but a strong force of police prevented any organized dem onstration, because of fear of a clash between the opposing sections.

Liberty of individuals to concentrate money and power to the limit o ftheir abil ity was advocated today before the house money trust investigating com mittee by Jacob H. Schiff, of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Mr. Schiff declared individuals should be allowed to exert their ut most efforts to concentrate fortunes and poster until the laws of nature caused the attempted monopoly to "fall of its own weight."' He oppos ed, however, concentration through corporation and holding companies. He would not say whether concentra tion had yet reached the point where it was dangerous. Before the same committee today appeared George W. Reynolds, pres ident of the Continental & Commer cial National Bank, of Chicago, who said that he knew of the "trend to ward concentration of money cred its," and that he thought it a dan gerous thing. "I am opposed to the concentration of any sort of power,' he said. "I I believe that concentration to the point i it has already gone is a menace. In ! saying that I do not wish to sit in I judgment on the men who hold the power." Mr. Reynolds said he was opposed to the principle of interlocking direc tors. Mr. Schiff took the view that de positors in banks were protected suf ficiently under the present law, "if administered by and kept up to the teachings of experience." He thought there was no objection to one bank selling securities to another bank which it owned, because, "prudence" would prevent officers of a bank from accepting too' much doubtful security, and that no further law was necessary. "Too much law," he said, "can crush the life out of a bank." SCHNOERR'S HIRSUITE ADORNMENT IS WINNER Boost your city by boosting your daily paper' The Enterprise should be in every home.

Each morning large loads of build ing material, such as lumber, ties and steel rails are sent out over the line which gives the road a regular rail road appearance. The officers of the conpany state that they now have in the bank the proceeds of the sale of their bonds, which is ample for all the steel to be used on. the entire length of the line, and the stockholders are mak ing a determined effort to raise an ad ditional amount to complete the lay ing and ballasting of the track. The company has placed an order for 750 gross tons of new 60-pound rails, which will fully complete the first division, and when the road is completed the entire length of the line it will be supplied with one size, that of the new 60-pound rail The first two and one half miles are being laid with fifty-six-pound rails which will eventually be taken up and re placed with the heavier steel.

GILL WOULD ABOLISH PiLOT MISSION Behind a bill of unexciting title introduced by Representative Gill of Clackamas is provision for the repeal ot certain laws hat would automati cally abolish the Columbia River Pilot commission. The passage of this measure would change to a very great degree the stat us of the Columbia River pilots and pilots of the Columbia and Wil lamette Rivers. Under the present laws, the pilot commission, which is composed of two. members, has the examining and licensing of all pilots in these juris dictions. Any person who pilots a vessel over the bar or up the river, the law provides, without a license, is liable to a fine of $500 or six months imprisonment. With the commission abolished. this law, too, would be repealed. Tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock the last forms will be closed for the big Progress nd Anniversary 'Edi tion of the Morning Enterprise and all copy not in the oflice by that time will of necessity have to be left out of the issue. Already the handsome two color cover and 32 of the sixty four pages that the magazine will contain have been printed. The remaining 32 pages will be printed today and to morrow and Monday the book will go into the bindery from which it will emerge Thursday morning with the regular issue of the paper of that date. Without question the 1913 Annual will excel anything of its kind here tofore published in this city, or in the Willamette Valley, outside of Portland. A close and systematic canvass has been made among the business interests of this city and vicinity and if any have been over looked it was through error rather than intentional oversight. There are a dozen or two yet to be seen and by closing time Saturday night this ' list will doubtless have a goodly number of new names added to- it. The Enterprise suggests that those who are interested in having space iD the issue and who have not already arranged for same, immed iately communicate with this office and a representative of the paper will call upon them. , Advertising copy for the Annual can be turned in up to 5 P. M. Sat urday, January 18 but not later than that. WATCH THIS LIST GROW: Publicity Dept. Oregon City Commer cial Club. Willamette Pulp & Paper Company. Hawley Pulp & Paper Company.
