WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. Economy
difficulties among the House Demo
crats today reached the leaders and
efforts were made lo reconcile the fac
tions wmch threaten to precipitate a
struggle over the naval appropriation
biU with its two battleships provis
sion wnen it appears on the floor.
Speaner Clark, Majority Leader
Underwood and Representative Fitz
geraid told the leaders in no uncer
:.aln terms that the appropriations
were mounting to a mucn larger fig
ure than had bee anticipated.
He recommended vigorous cuts in
the bills yet to be passed. After the
conference Mr. Underwood talked ov-
er the situation with members of the
Ways and Means Committee.
Last night's meeting of the econ
omy advocates had taken up a reso
lution asking the Ways and Means
Committee to discipline the naval af
fairs committee for increasing the
naval bill. The bill as framed by the
committee would carry about ?14G,
00,000 and the economy advocates
insist that it should be cut about
$20,000,0o0. Mr. Underwood called
on Representative Padgett of Tenn
essee, cnairman of the Naval Affairs
Comf ittee, and urged him to endeav
or to cut down the bill.
Mr. Padgett called the Democrats
of his committee together, but they
were unable to agree on any reduc
tion and the question was put over
until tomorrow.
The econony advocates, who are
about 60 strong in the House, declare
that they will fillibuster and prevent
the passage of the bill at this session
unless the amount carried is mater
ially reduced. They will hold anoth
er meeting tomorrow night, and un
less something- is done in the way of
reducing the bill in the meantime, a
resolution by Representative Sisson,
of Mississippi, will be taken up,
which would demand that the Ways
and Means Committee remove the
Democratic membership of the Na
val Affairs Committee for "extrava
gance and failing to live up to the
party's platform pledges."
WASHINGTON, Fob. 12 First bri
gade of the first army division, num
bering 3000 men, is resting on arms,
ready to entrain at a moment's no
tice for Newport News, to board
transports for Mexico.
Twenty-five hundred marines from
the Atlantic fleet and the Guant.an
amo naval station are prepared to
sail for Vera Cruz to go tho relief of
the foreign legations, should they be
come besieged, as they did at Peking.
Four dreadnoughts of battleship
fleet are steaming at top speed to
Tampico and Vera Cruz, and two oth
ers rushing to the Pacific side to
Mexican ports to afford to Americans
and other foreigners.
President Taft and the cabinet are
firm in their determination not to
land an American trooper in Mexico
unless the most dire necessity forces
it.
These are the, developments of the
day in the attitude of the United
States toward the newest revolution
in Mexico.
Preparations have been made to
move approximately 2500 marines
from the ships of the Atlantic fleet
and the Guantanamo Naval Station
to Vera Cruz, to be held in readiness
to relieve the foreign legations in
Mexico City.
Rear-Admiral Badger, in command
of the Atlantic fleet at Guantanamo,
will select the two additional battle
ships which are to hurry to Vera
Cruz, Mexico. This was determined
on at an early conference today be
tween officials of the State, War and
Navy Departments. The two ships
ships are expected to put out from
the naval station before noon.
The First Brigade of the First Di
vision of the Army, about 3000 strong
which has been ordered prepared for
"expeditionary service,'1 is composed
of the Third Infantry at Madison Bar
racks and Oswe?o, the Fifth Infantry
at Pittsburg, and the Twenty-Ninth
Infantry at Fort Niagra, all in New

A THRILLING MILITARY PRODUCTION IN TWO REELS.
Mary Lee, daughter of the Paymaster, is in love with
Colonel Loring's son Tom. He is a reekless chap, given to
gambling and other bad habits. Mary endeavors to reform
him, but unsuccessfully. At last Tom steals $5,000 from the
paymaster's safe to pay a gambling debt to Senor Luis Ri
vera, who is a Mexican spy. Rivera offers to return the
money if Tom will steal the plans of the fortifications from
the office of the Colonel. The deal is made and Tom secures
the plans. Mary discovers the treason and by pledging her
jewels gives her lover the money and forces hinj to return the
papers. Tom later joins the army on the border and Mary
receives an appointment as a Red Cross Nurse. One day she
is sent to a distant point and when the wagon pulls up for
the trip she finds that Tom is the driver. The wagon is at
tacked by Mexicans with Rivera in command. A battle en
sues in which Tom is badly wounded, but Mary nurses him
back to life. For bravery he is made a Lieutenant and for
love wins his old sweetheart.

SPEEDING CHARGE
Announcing that the present speed 1
laws of Oregon City are too stringent
and that one cannot drive at even a
slow rate of speed without being ar
rested, J. "Downey, of Willamette, will
coritest the charge of speeding that
will be entered against him Thurs
day morning at his trial before Re
corder Stipp. Downey has employed
George C. Rrownell to defend him and
he will figM every inch of the way.
He was srrested about two weeks
ago upon the complaint of Council
man William Beard, who says that
he was exceeding the speed laws on
Molalla Avenue.
SALEM, Feb. 12. (Special.) The
Schuebel ten-hour bill will come out
of the Senate Industries Committee
in the morning with three different
reports. Day, Kiddle and Wood have
signed a majority report adverse to
the passage of the bill, Chairman
Smith will recommend that the bill
pass with amendments, and Dimick
would have the measure pass as it
stands. The amendment allows a
twelve-hour day and to all intents
kills the purpose of the bill.
Dimick expects to get on the floor
first when the report comes up in
the morning, and a warm fight is
expected on his motion to substitute
his report for the others. Represen
tatives of the . paper mills appeared
before the committee tonight, but the
hearing did not last long. After a
short secret session it was announ
ced the committee had practically
failed to agree. Dimick's eight-hour
bill is also before the committee, but
it was not acted upon tonight
Many of the Oregon City people
will sta ove'tonight to hear the bat
tle on 'the floor of the Senate in the
morning.
It is practically arranged that
Smith will move to substitute his re
port for that of the majority, and
Dimick will amend that motion to sub
stitute his report. Over this ques
tion the battle will occur. Chairman
Smith would give out nothing tonight
on the various reports beyond the
fact that there would be three of
them.
MAJOR NOBLE IS
RESIDENT OF CITY
A charge having been made that
Major C. S. Noble, 'city engineer, is
not a resident of this city, and should
be ousted from office has been refut
ed. It is reported that Major Noble
has lived in this city continuously
since he came to Clackamas County.
This statement is made because if
Major Noble were not a resident of
the fcity his appointment as city en
gineer would be void.
lating to Great Work of Lin

Aids Work
The memory of Abraham Lincoln
the Great Emancipator, was fittingly
observed in Oregon City on the one
hundredth and fourth anniversary of
his birth. Most of .the public offices
of the city were closed and the city
schools devoted the day to paying
homage to one of the America's no
blest characters. The most important
services were those held in the First
Methodist Church which were attend
ed by the members of Meade Post,
Grand Army of the Republic, and the
Womens' Relief Corps.
The program was in charge of
George C. Brownell, who introduced
the speakers. He paid a tribute to
the memory of Abraham Lincoln and
spoke of him as a splendid type of
an American. Prof. Tooze spoke of the
great fortitude of Lincoln and his
ealy -struggles against poverty al
ways with the idea of his convictions
foremost. He spoke of the earnest
ness and force of the man, and with
all his great democracy. Rev. T. B.
Ford spoke of "Lincoln's early train
ing and told of his qualities and of
his great sympathy for mankind,
which Dr. Ford said he believed was
due to the fact that he was one of
the people.
Music was furnished by the Meth
odist choir, the Alldredge Quartet,
and by the audience. It consisted of
patriotic songs which were much ap
preciated. Those furnished, by the
choir and quartet " were especially
pleasing. -At the beginning of the ex
ercises Rev. J. R. Landsborough pro
nounced a prayer and Dr. W. T. Mil
liken rendered the benediction.
- Both the Grand Army and the Wom
en's Relief Corps were grateful to
Dr. Ford and the members of the
choir and church for the "very appro
priate program and services render
ed. ...
At the city schools, during the
morning exercises were held and the
classes were dismissed for the after
noon. --

Thieves ransacked the home of
Dr. R. O. Appleby, of M'ilwaukie,

were in Portland when the robbery
was committed, and, upon returning
home reported the robbery to Sheriff
Mass Deputy Sheriffs Miles and Ed

GLADSTONE HAS
NEW 'PHONE ACT
SALEM, Feb. 12. (Special.) Af
ter a hard fight in the Senate, Sena-'
tor Dimick's bill to prohibit feeding
ducks and other game birds on lakes
for the purpose of slaughtering them j
was killed today by one vote.
The Senate Game j Committee re
ported adversely on the bill but in
spite of this it was only after prolong
ed debate by the Senate, defeated by
one vote.
Beyond this, the Clackamas delega
tion rested arms most of the day with
prospects of harder fights -before
them within a few days. In the House
a fight has developed against the Schue
belbiito take t uthority over the North
ern end of the Willamette River out
of the hands of the commission..
The Clackamas delegation in the
House voted in favor of the Govern-.
or today on the motion to strike
back at that official by laying on the
table his message admonishing the
Legislature for not getting busy on
the necessary appropriation bills.
The Governor s message was a sharp
rebuke to the chairman of the
Ways and Means Committees for not
handling first some of the more im
portant bills It nettled some of the
"Organization" members, who moved
to have the message laid on the table.
This was done, but half an hour later
it was taken from the table and re
ferred to the Ways and Means Com
mittee. -
' With only nine more days before
it the Legislature seems not to be
half through its work. Dissensions
are growing in the ranks, some of
the Senators making accusations of
favoritism in reporting other bills of
committees before their own.
Rev. Edwards to Speak.
The Rev. George Nelson Edwards,
pastor of the Congregational Church,
will speak tonight on "Aspects of
Healing". The address will start at
7:30 o'clock.

so.

Because the telephone and ligt
companies have not accepted the fran
chise offered jy the city the Glad
stone council has advanced to its
first reading an ordinance providing
for a license for each company of
$100 a year for comnanies oneratine
in the city without a license. The
franchises impose a license of 50
cents a year for each telephone, and
the companies say the amount is too
large. All the members of the coun
cil were present and Mayor Cross
presided.
