Big Issue of Paper Legal Tender is
Proposed by Ex-State Treas
urer of Pensyl
vania WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. Farmers'
opposition to the national monetary
commissioner's plan was voiced today
by W. T. Creasy, master of the Pen
sylvania State Grange, before the
House currency reform committee.
Creasy told the committee that he
believed farmers generally were "bit
terly opposed to the Aldrich scheme.
"We believe," he said, "that the
big financiers are much more inter
ested in maintaining control pf the
currency than they are in any effort
to obtain its elasticity."
C. S. Barrett, of Union City, Ga.,
president of tne National Farmers'
Union, an organization with branches
in 21 states and 3,000,000 members,
appeared heading a delegation includ
ing J. D. Brown, Arlington, Or., O. F.
Darnblaser, Brunswick, Neb.; Peter
Radford, Fort Worth, Tex.; and A.
F. Swift, Baker, Or. The spokesman
for the delegation said the farmers
objected to the present monetary sys
tem because it led to ".ndue specula
tion. A system of incorporated clearing-houses
was suggested.
Farmers need long term loans, it
was argued, in order that they may
become owners instead of tenants.
To meet this need, the delagation pro
posed that postal savings bank depos
its be made available for loans on
farm lands and outlined a system of
land banks to be operated separately
from commercial banks.
rine issue of paper legal tender,
based on Government, state and mun
icipal bonds and backed by a gold re
serve of at least 20 per cent, was rec
ommended as a solution of the cur
rency problem by W. H. Berry, ex
State Treasurer of Pensylvania.
Mr. Berry told the committee that
the evil of the present system was an
insufficient supply of legal tender re
serve to support the extended inter
ests of the country.
"The banking laws are responsible
for the accumulation of money in the
reserve cities," he said. r "A lack of
cash in reserve restricts the banks
in the credit they can allow and this
inevitably results in a discrimination
as to borrowers. So long as ttiis sit
uation obtains there will be a money
trust."
. A chart produced by Mr. Berry pur
ported to show that panic followed
an expansion of credit to a point
where it was beyond the support of
the available cash reserves.
"That is the situation now," he
continued. "The credits granted have
been extended to a point where the
reserves are but 8.2 per cent of the
outstanding obligations of the banks.
Unless these reserves are extended
in some way a panic will follow. That
8.2 per cent was about the breaking
point of 1907.''
MOTHERS' CONGRESS
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 28 The
news of the action of Governor West
making Oregon the first state to
create a juvenil probation commission
was lauded by speakers at a meeting
of the Pennsylvania Congress of Moth
ers here yesterday.
The meeting was called to lay
plans to oppose the creating of a pro
posed municipal court which would
absorb the juvenile court, and which
will come up before the next meeting
of the legislature. Mrs. Frederic
Schoff, president of the Mothers' Con
gress, told of the Oregon commission
and the work they intend, to accom
plish. There is a movement now on foot
to have such a commission for Penn
sylvania, and Mrs. Schoff declared she
will shortly visit Portland to secure
more pointers on the work of their
commission. This data will be pre
sented to the Pennsylvania legisla
ture when the bill is introduced.
TAFT BIDS CONGRESS

Scotland Yard Detectives, on Alert,
Say They Have Plans of
Equal Vote Advo
cates LONDON, Jan. 28. Renewed riot
ing among the suffragettes resulted
tonight in the arrest of Mrs. Drum
mond, president of the Women's So
cial and Political League; Miss Syl
via Pankhurst and a dozen other mil
itant women about the parliament
buildings here. The women tried to
"rush" David Lloyd-George, Chancel
lor of the Exchequer.
A cordon of police was hastily sum
moned and the women, throwing
themselves against the guards around
the parliament buildings, had to be
carried to the station house. It is
feared there will be further demon
strations during the night and the au
thorities have renewed their precau
tions. Mrs. Despard, the noted suffragette
leader arrested with six others for
participation in a destructive demon
stration, refused today to pay a fine
of $10, remarking "Not one cent for
tribute.'' She was sentenced to jail
for 14 days.
Another suffragette who refused to
give her name was sentenced to one
week in jail on the charge of incit
ing to riot.
The statement that the young wom
an arrested last night at St. Stephens
Hall while attempting to destroy a
large painting was Miss Sylvia Pank
hurst was denied today.
Scotland Yard detectives claim to
be in possession of the plans of the
suffragettes and are confident they
can cope with the militant women.
Woman detectives recently joined the
suffragette ranks and got into their
inner circles, it is declared.
Despite assurances, London lears
a reign of terror, and shop keepers
are barring their windows.
Mrs. Drummond, president of the
Women's Social and Political Union,
declared today that she will lead a
deputation of working women to call
on David Lloyd-George, Chancellor of
the Exchequer, tonight. He has re
fused to see them, but they declare
they will call anyway. Trouble is ex
pected. '
Mrs. Cousins, Mrs. Connery, audi
Mrs. Hopkins, three suffragettes,
were arrested today. John Simpson,
"male suffragette," arrested during
last night's demonstration, was tried
in Bow Street police court today and
fined $10. He refused to pay and was
sent to jail for two weeks.
WOMEN TO "HATCH"
VOTES i!i NEW YORK
NEW YORK, Jan. 28. A new plan
by which they hope to "hatch votes
for women" will be inaugurated here
by ardent leaders of the cause.
Headed by Mrs. Perry Hastings, pres
ident of the Interborough Suffrage
Club and Women's Exchange, and
Mrs. Sophia Kreamer, vice-president
of the organization, enthusiastic mem
bers, spent last night posting "Votes
for Women'' slips on 12,000 eggs.
These eggs, which the women claim
are fresh from the farm, are to be
placed on sale today. The women
behind the project believe that good
missionary service will be performed
through placing the fresh eggs with
their novel inscription in the hands
of consumers.
"We can get all the fresh eggs we
want." Mrs. Kreamer explained
"They come frpm farmers in New
York and at prices that will do away
with the middleman."
"Two dozen of the eggs will not
be sold. They are to be sent by par
cel post to Governor Wilson and Gov
ernor Sulzer.

SENATORS TO FIGHT
FOR CONFIRMATIONS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. After a
caucus of Republican Senators today,
in which a plan to fight for confirma
tion of President Taft's held-up nom
inations was agreed upon, Senator
Smoot moved an executive session of
the Senate, with the idea of holding
the session as long as a quorum could
be kept. The Republicans had prom
ised to remain in their seats to hold
the quorum and to repeat the motion
every day. The Democrats were
equally determined to permit no con
firmations other than Army, Navy and
diplomatic, and a lively struggle is
probable.
The Republicans : declined to con
sider the proposal made by the Dem
ocratic caucus for a joint committee
of 10 to go over the nominations and
select some for cort,firmation. The
proposal found no support among Re
publicans. In executive session, Martin, Dem
ocratic floor leader, stated that the
Democrats would continue to oppose
action on the majority of the Taft
appointments. He declared that the
filibuster on legislation, adding that
if any appropriation bills failed of
passage before March 4, they could
be passed in the extra session.
The Republican caucus presented a
solid front to insist upon confirma
tions. Senators Dixon and Poindex
ter, who have joined the Progressive
party, were not there, but other Re
publicans, classed as Progressives,
were present and apparently in ac
cord with ' the plan of, the caucus,
which held that each case must stand
upon its merits. It was decided to
revoke the agreement to proceed first
with Army and Navy appointments,
the Republicans holding that the Dem
ocrats had not shown good faith by
their deliberate manner of proceeding
with them.

FRIENDS PAY FINAL
TRIBUTE TO HODES
The funeral of Carl Hodes, the sa-1
loon man, which was held at 10 o'clock j
Tuesday morning at St. John's Ro
man Catholic Church, was one of the
best attended funerals ever held in
this city. Father Hillebrand, who offi
ciated, told of how Mr. Hodes had
been a regular attendant at church, ;
and declared that the cause of his '
committing suicide was the injury
received to his head when he fell on
the sidewalk several weeks ago. The
interment was in the Catholic Ceme
tery.
TRAINS HALTED BV
CARS JUMPING TRACK
Traffic on the Southern Pacific
Railway was delayed ten hours Tues
day morning as the result of four
cars of a northbound freight train be
ing derailed at Pulp Siding three miles
south of this city. One car that was
derailed was dragged two miles be
fore the trainmen knew of the acci
dent. Just before the train passed
New Era the rear truck of one of
the cars was derailed, and it was not
until the car struck a cattle guard
that the trainmen realized it was off
the track. The cattle guard was brok
en and the truck fell into the hole.
The end of the car was badly wreck
ed. Others were thrown across the
wrecked one. No one was injured
and most of the cars remained on the
track. This is the second accident
that has occurred on the Southern
Pacific within the past four days,
the oCher being an attempt to wreck
the San Francisco Express at : Six
teenth Street Saturday morning.

TEACHERS' TRUST IS
FEARED BY SENATOR
SALEM, Or., Jan. 28. Appearing
before the Senate and House commit
tees on education, sitting jointly last
night, E. L. ilills, of Portland, made
an earnest plea, that the provisions
of House bill No. 151, by Olson, known
as the Haak bill, be carefully consid
ered in connection with Senate bill
74, by Farrell, before making reports.
Both measures are ostensibly intend
ed to better school conditions ia
Portland, but the abjection has been
raised to the Senate measure that it
will result in the formation of a
teachers' machine, as bad or worse
in its operation than the present
school board machine.
The merits of the House bill" were
gone into a length by Mills, who
showed perfect , familiarity with both
measures. He asserted that under
Farrel's bill the teachers virtually
would be able to perpetuate their ten
ure of office for all time and that it
would be almost impossible to remove
any of them, no matter what the na
ture of their offense. He charged
that by having such a bill drawn in
secret and introduced without the
knowledge of the persons who have
been fighting their battles for them so
long the teachers had not' acted in
good faith. The House bill, he assert
ed, would bold the school board ma
chine within proper bounds and . at
the same time give the teachers a
fair deal.
The explanation of Mills was re
ceived favorably by the committee,
which also listened to an exposition
of the- situation from others.

r
SALEM, Jan. 28., (Special.) Noti
fication was received today from
George Pusey, manager of the Haw
ley Pulp & Paper Company, of Ore
gon City, that the 18-hour . shift in
the mill will be abrogated at once.
The information came to Senator
Smith of Coos and Curry Counties. He
is chairman of the industries commit
tee which Monday night heard the
statements of various Oregon City
persons in connection with the Dimick
eight-hour bill. Senator Smith was
notified of the move on long distance
telephone. 'Mr. Pusey when appear
ing before the committee, was taken
seriously to task by Chairman Smith
for allowing the 18-hour shift for
Sunday and Monday to continue in
operation at the mills.
Senator Smith stated that he would
never leave the Legislature without
seeing the condition changed and
urged upon Mr. Pusey that he reach
some agreement with the stockhold
ers of the mill by which the change
could be made. Mr. Pusey stated he
would take the matter up and make
every effort to agree to the demands
of the chairman of the committee.
Chairman .Smith states he will also
take up the question with the Crown
Columbia Pulp & Paper Company and
endeavor to have the 18-hour Sunday
shift eliminated in that mill.
Representative Schuebel of Clacka
mas introduced a numebr of bills in
the House today, one providing for
sealed contracts on all bridges, an
other making county judges ex-offl-cio
wardens and another relating to
the pay of court reporters.
It is understood that the bill mak
ing county judges ex-officio fire war
dens is a compromise of the bill mak
ing road supervisors ex-officio fire
wardens. This bill failed. It is
thought Schuebel can get the com
promise bill through the House. Rep
resentative Gill introduced two bills
relating to the primary law and elect
ion ballots.
Senator Dimick in the Senate to
day made a desperate effort to get
through the Howard House bill giv
ing counties the option of keeping or
doing away 'with rural school super
vicors, but the bill was indefinitely
postponed.- He excoriated the Sena
tors for not giving Clackamas County,
which he alleged was by far and
large, opposed to the supervisory
plan, a right to determine whether it
desired to keep the supervisors.
WARRANT IS ISSUED
NSTH.E. CROSS
The Street Committee of the City
Council has authorized the issuance
of a warrant against H. E. Cross, Main
Trunk of the Live Wires, charging
him with not removing earth which
has obstructed Monroe Street be
tween Twelfth and Thirteenth Streets.
The earth, it is contended, came from
Mr. Cross' property. The complaint
was made by City Attorney Stone
and issued by Recorder Stipp. Mr.
Cross has from the start objected to
the improvement of Monroe Street,
contending that it was not necessary,
and filed suit to enjoin the city from
making the improvement. That he
will fight the action taken by the city
is assured.
HEAVY-SEA AIDS
WORK ON CANAL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. Instead
of being discouraged by the heavy
seas that are pounding the Atlantic
approach to - the Panama Canal, the
engineers under Colonel George W.
Goethals have harnessed the tides,
and are making them aid in advan
cing the work, according to advices
from the canal zone today. The sea
is assisting materially in shaping up
the giant breakwater that will guard
the Atlantic entrance to the canal
by beating the seaward slope of the
trestle work into the angle desired
by the engineers.
The trestles, extending 11,700 feet
from the shore, are ' now completed,
and the work of filling them with
heavy rock is progressing rapidly.
FIRE SOON EXTINGUISHED.

SCHOOL SUPERVISOR LAW
NOT TO BE REPEALED
SALEM, Or., Jan. 28. That the law
for appointment of county school su
pervisors will remain as it stands for
at least two years was made certain
when the Senate indefinitely postpon
ed House substitute bill No. -12, by
Howard. .This was the second time
the Senate has voted on this ques
tion. The first time it killed off a
bill by Dimick, abolishing the super
visor law. The House tried another
tack, adopting the local option principle.

at its head, has issued a warning that
the ordinance relating to filth will be
rigidly enforced. This committee
with Cnief of Police Shaw will today
make an investigation of yards and
barns that are supposed to be in an
unhealthy condition. If found to be
so the owners will be warned to clean
them at once, and, if they fail to do
so, they will be arrested. The ordi
nance povides a fine of from ?2 to $50
for the first offense and for a fine
of $100 and imprisonment in the city
jail of not more than 50 days for the

H. E. Cross, Main Trunk of the Live
Wires at the luncheon Tuesday, act
ed upon a suggestion made in a let

work for civic betterment. The com
mittee is composed of Dr. van Brakel,
F. A. Olmsted, Livy Stipp, Dr. L. L.
Pickens, Dr. L. A. Morris, Dr. Clyde
Mount, E. Kenneth Stanton, Gilbert
Hedges and M. D. Latourette. Dr.
van Brakel was named chairman of
the committee and Mr. Olmsted sec
retary. The chairman announced that the
committee would make an inspection
of the city today and report to the
Live Wires at the next luncheon.
A. A. Price, a committee of one,
made a report at the Live Wires' lun
cheon that most of the merchants
favored having cluster lights on Main
Street. He said the cost of erect
ing each light would be $80. The
monthly charge for electricity will be
about $3.50.
Mr. Latourette made a report re
garding the hardsurfacing of Main
Street from the Oregon City Manufact
uring Company to Moss Street, where
the new concrete pavement starts. It
has been suggested that the brick be
covered with concrete or some other
smooth pavement.
Jesse Hazell recommended that the
organization favor the building of es
calators to the hill section instead of
an elevator. He thought there should
be an escalator at Seventh Street and
another at Eighth Street. -
