THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 10, 1903. HILL AS A PROPHET Olds, Wotman & King Fifth and Wasnmg'ton Streets Predicts Ruin of Industry by Labor Unions.- SSBbsbBSS" HE FAVORS ANTI-TRUST BILLS Ifortlicrn Securities President Fore sees Crisis In American Commerce TarlH 3Inst Come Down Favors Publicity of Trusts. OREGONIAN" XEWS BUREAU, Wash lngton, Feb. 9. "-is labor unions killed Industrial England, so are they destined to bring about a grave financial reverse In the United States, and the country la swlftl? approaching that crisis. It may come In a year. It may be deferred till tho Prcsl dentlal year, but It Is bound to come." So says James J. MIL He denies that the United States Is the leading manu facturing nation of the world and la rap- Idly gathering to Its iosom, tho markets of the world. "The truth is," says he, "this country Is losing ground In a manufacturing way. and we will do very well to hold our own markets. Our competitors aro sweeping us (wide, because of the high coot of pro duction here. This hlsh cost of produc lion Is due to tho growth of labor union ism. "We can't meet the price of German and English manufacturers and pay the wages tho unions compel. So long as the tariff Is maintained, we may hold out own markets, but some day tho people of tho West will kick over and demand that the tariff be lowered. This sentiment Increases the farther "West one goos." Ho says Germany now leads tho world In manufactures and Is making swifter program than any other country, because her laborers work cheaply and spend GS hours a week In tho factory, whereas our laborers work but 44. Furthermore, Ger man mechanics aro superior. Before we can compete with Germany, we must lower the cost of production and elevate tho quality of our products. Mr. Mil, referring to tho Department of Commerce amendment, says he eecs no reason why a corporation should oppose the jtpeciflactlon that statements be made at stated times setting forth the dealls of the business. "We In the railroad business do It," said lie, "and I think It would be a good thing If the Standard Oil Company did it" He says the new department should be placed In the hands of the right man, that politics should be eliminated. "What Is wanted?' he said, referring to trust legis lation generally, "Is legislation to pre vent the watering of stock; make that restriction and a great good will be accomplished."

DOVER, Del Feb. 9. Another day has passed, and the Senatorial situation is no nearer a solution than it was when the Legislature met. but the day was full of Interesting Incidents and rumors. The first thing sprung today was the Demo cratic ultimatum. Then came the Demo cratic caucus, which was attended by all the ten -members of that faction. The Democratic ultimatum was a prop osition to be submitted to the regular Re publicans, In which tho Democrats agreed to support Congressman Ball for the long term, and eventually to support some other equally staunch regular Republican for the short term. But for some reason the ultimatum failed of Its purpose. The regular Republicans held a caucus lato In the day, at which it was decided to notify the Union Republicans that. In case the regulars reached an agreement of any kind with the Democrats, they would pro ceed with their proposition without a mo ment s notice to the Union Republicans. It was further decided not to enter a caucus with the Addlcks men on the Ad' dicks withdrawal proposition, which would virtually give Addlcks the power to name the United States Senators, anflT lastly, the regulars decided to continue balloting for Ball and Dupont. It is an open question whether tire Dem ocratic leaders can turn enough rotes over to the regulars to elect Ball or any other man that should bo selected. The ballot today resulted: Long term Addlcks, a; Handy, 20; Ball, S: Hlgglns, 2. Short term Addlcks, 19; Tunnell, 20; T. C Dupont, 2; H. A. Dupont, 8; II. A. Rlchardson, 2. No election. PROTEST AGAINST SMOOT. I'tah People Object to Mormon Apos tle as Senator. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Senator Bur rows, chairman of the committee on prlvi leges and elections, has received a -pro test against the seating of Reed Smoot as a Senator from Utah, on the ground that he is an apostle of the Mormon church.'and, that, as such, he should not represent the people of Utah in the Sen ate. The document is voluminous and quotes liberally from sermons, speeches and other Mormon utterances, showing the power of the priesthood of the Mor mon church over all matters, .spiritual and temporal. Senator Frye. as president pro tem of the Senate, read a copy of the protest. It was decided by Senators Burrows and Frye not to present the' protest to the Senate until Mr. Smoot a credentials are presented, when both will be referred to the committee on -privileges and elections, A statement furnished to the commit tee gives the politics and occupation of the signers to show that all of them are of high standing In the state. It shows that 150 of the signers are Republicans and four Democrats. Considering Antl-Trnst Bills.. WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.

SEW YORK, Feb. 9. Tho heirs of Mrs. Charles Fair, who with her husband was killed In. on automobile accident In France In August last, hare commenced an ac tion here to set 'aside an agreement which they entered Into with Mrs. Theresa Oei rlcha and Mrs. Virginia Vanderbilt, sis ters of Charles Fair, not to start a contest over the estate. Br the agreement Mrs. Nelson was to receive 123,000, and her daughters Jewelry valued at 5100,000. It was claimed at the time that under the California laws Mr. Fair outlived his wife, and therefore his relatives were en titled to his estate, estimated at 54000,000. Mrs. Fair's relatives now say they are prepared to prove that she lived 30 min utes longer than her husband, and as he had executed a 'Will leavlrtg his entire es tate to her, they are entitled to the whole of It. Besides filing tho complaint, counsel for the Nelson family filed a lis pendens against property on Riverside drive and Seventy-fifth street, this city, which they claim was the private property of Mrs. Fair. They also claim furniture, clothing, silverware. Jewelry, bonds and securities and real estate In San Francisco of the total value of $500,000, which -they contend Mrs. Fair possessed Independent of her husband. They allege that when the defendants offered the settlement, which was accept ed, they well knew that "Mrs. Fair out lived her' husband, and that the statement that she died before was made to defraud them of the estate. OPENED BY PRESIDENT. Exhibit of Cnnnlnre Industry Benin nt Waahlnicton. WASHINGTON. Feb. 9. President Roosevelt formally opened the exhibit of the annual convention of the canning and allied Industries at Convention Hall this afternoon. Shortly before 3 o'clock he left the White House, accompanied by Secretary Cortelyou. -and was' driven to Convention Hall, where the exhibit of machinery and supplies had been nut in place. The President was given a cordial reception by the large crowd assembled to witness the opening of the exhibit and spoke as follows: "Mr. Chairman and Ladles and Gentle men: I 'am clad to have the chance to greet you. to greet the representatives of one of our great and typical American Industries .meeting here, as they should meet. In the National capital. I cannot stay with you; .the .short session of Con gress is approaching an end, and we have a good deal of work to do. I have come down In the name of the National Govern ment to welcome you, to say how glad we are to see you, to express apprecia tion of the Importance of this gathering, and. finally, to formally open It" (Great applause).

TO OPEN KLAMATH LANDS. OreKon Deleo-atlon Finds New Way of AccompHshinK Snmr End. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Feb. 9. The Senate subcommittee on Indian affairs today decided to report adversely on Senator Mitchell's amend ment making an appropriation for new buildings at the Chemawa School, and providing for the ratification of the Klam nth treaty of Juno 17. 1301. under which the Government would pay the ndlans $537,007 for the relinquishment of disputed lands. Representative Moody for several days past urged a favorable report on "this amendment, but was told that the chair man of the House appropriations commit tee would not consent to any amendments totho bill ratifying Indian treaties and making payments to the Indians for ceded lands. To overcome this objection. Mr. Moody had drawn and will submit to Sen ator Mitchell a substitute amendment pro viding for the relinquishment of the dis puted lands to the Government, the In dians to be paid for the same out of funds derived from the sale of lands, thus avoiding' an appropriation out of the. Treasury. Senator Mitchell could not be seen about this mailer today, but. If he approves this amendment, it will be In troduced, and Mr. Moody will urge Its favorable consideration by the full com mlttcc. ' Tho enactment of this amendment would require the acceptance of Its terms by tht Indians. As their old treaty has been pending 30 years, and Is no nearer rati fication now than nt the .outset, and Is likely to meet repeated objections In the future. Representative Moody hopes the Indians will accept the new proposition, as he believes they will thereby realize as much, and practically as soon, as If the original treaty were ratified. The pro posed amendment affects 631,824 acres of land.
