SENATORS ARE NOT YET DONE They WW Try to Get Appropriations for the Mouth of the Columbia and Other Points When the Measure Comes Up. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, "April 14. The fact that the Sen ate committee on appropriations failed to attach to the sundry civil bill reported today' any of the amendments offered by Senators Mitchell and Fulton for the Improvement of Oregon rivers and har bors probably means that no appropria tions -will be made this session for the mouth of the Columbia, or for any other projects In the state, aside from The Dalles-Celllo Canal. The House appro priation of 5100,000 for this project is re tained in the bill, and is the only river appropriation carried for the North Pa cific Coast. When the bill comes up for considera tion Senators Mitchell and Fulton intend to offer their amendments for the mouth of the Columbia, Yaqulna Bay, Tillamook Bay and other projects, but in the face of the committee's report the outlook is not encouraging. The committee de clined to provide for any except contin uing contracts, saying that to open up for ono independent project "would mean to make the sundry civil bill provide for works 'all over the country, "which is against the "wish of the leaders in Con gress. An Increase of J2,S54,004 in the bill wag made by the committee, so that the bill now carries J59.102.4O0. The Senate amends the House provision for the extension and completion of the Capitol building In ac cordance with the original plans by Thom as U. Walter, by providing that the joint commission shall be composed of Senators Wetmore, Alger and Gorman; Speaker Cannon and Representatives Hepburn, of Iowa, and Richardson, of Tennessee. For the education of the Indians of Alaska $50,000 is appropriated. Other ap propriations are made as follows: For the improvement of the grounds within the Presidio at San Francisco, $20,000; for the completion of the Legation buildings at Pekln, China, $25,000. The Senate has incorporated in the bill an amendment providing for the removal of all limitations as to the amount of subsidiary coinage that may be out standing. River and harbor legislation will bo considered by the committee on com merce Saturday. The committee is in clined to provide for additional surveys, but no new items of improvement will be provided for. CONGRATULATE OREGON MEN. Colleagues of Congressmen Glad They Are Renominated. ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, April 14. Congressmen Williamson and Hermann were the recipients of num erous congratulations in the House today on their renomlnation, announced in the dispatches this morning. Mr. Hermann, speaking of the result, said: "I feel exceedingly gratified at the evi dence of increased confidence of my party and my friends. The manner in which the nomination was brought about is an additional occasion for gratification." Mr. Williamson said: "Of course I am pleased with the result. I have not been on the ground, hence know but little about the details of the campaign among the Republicans of the Second District. Somehow or other, I have had an abiding faitn all along that the spirit of fair play would eventually wear out the opposition. I will not com ment on the contest just ended in my favor further than to express the hope that our Republican differences, as to who should be candidates, will be kept en tirely within tfie family and especially this year, rthe Presidential year."

April 14. Days of "Jef fersonian Simpllcltj" are over forever, ac cording to Robert B. Roosevelt, uncle of the President. Mr. Roosevelt, who Is an active Democrat, expressed this belief in an address before the "Thirteen Club" at a celebration of Thomas Jefferson's birthday. In arranging the banquet hall every precaution was taken to set at naught the superstition against 13. In the course of his speech, Mr. Roosevelt said: "The days of 'Jeffersonian simplicity' are over. I havo a sympathy with them, and I am far from quarreling with the man who thinks and feels old, but some times I havo had doubts about the sin cerity of the simplicity of which we havo heard so much. Was there not a little too much in riding up to the Capital, hitching the horse to a post and stepping Into the courtroom to take the oath of office? Would our citizens approve If the Chief Magistrate of this great and power ful Nation -were today so regard the pro prieties and amenities as to follow these examples? "The simplicity of the days when few had a dollar and no one cared whether he liad it or not, have passed on. Can any body say this Is altogether bad? Can we havo any better test than the power to accumulate, and better government than the wise self-interest of wealth? I am not childlike enough to suppose that the world is going to pause on account of my -prejudices or going to stop determined rich because we don't know how." TRIED TO KILL CONFEDERATE. Chicago Car-Barn Bandit Makes a " Startling Confession. CHICAGO, April 14. A dramatic turn was given today to the trial of Roeski, the car-barn bandit. Another of tho bandits, Gustav Marx, who is under sen tence to hang next week, took the witness stand and sworo that he, not Roeski, fired the fatal shot in the murder for wnich Roeski is on trial. The story of the wit ness was made more remarkable by tho assertion that he was at the time of the murder trying to kill Roeski, the man in whose behalf Marx was now testifying. The reason given by Marx for attempt ing thus to murder his confederate was that he was suspicious that Roeski would betray the other bandits to the police. New York Has a Snow Storm.
