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."

DAY FULL OF DICKERING
But Delaware Factions Are Xo Nrnr
. er Asrceracnt on Senators.
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.

CONTEST FOR FAIR ESTATE
31 RS.
FAIR'S HEIRS SEEIC TO SET
ASIDE AGREEMENT.
Titer Say It Was Obtained by Fraud,
and That Mrs. Fair Outlived Her
Husband Half an Hoar.
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

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).

marks he turned to a key which had been
placed on the table, and by pressing It
started the machinery of the exhibition.
The exhibition will continue throughout

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.
