BOTH GOOD HATERS
Open War Between Two
Washington Senators.
THEY EACH CHARGE BAD FAITH
Foster's Fury at His Defeat Aggra
vated by Failure to Get Desired
Appointments Is Also En
raged With Cushman.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 16. Since the defeat of Sen
ator Foster at Olympla an intense hatred
has developed between the two Senators
from Washington, which makes the old
Mitchell-Elmon feeling In Oregon pale Into
Insignificance. The sudden and extreme
change In the relations between the two
Senators from "Washington has been a
surprise, even to those who Tcnow' them
best. Up to the time Foster went home
to manage his own fight he and Ankeny
were on the most cordial terms; they
worked together splendidly and had no
differences to speak of. Since then they j
hav worked at cross-purposes, but in i
doing so have shown more feeling than j
was ever exhibited by the rival Oregon
Senators In the last Congress. Mitchell
and Simon worked at cross-purposes; one
took advantage of the other when he
could; they did not associate, but with it
all they suppressed their personal Ill
feeling; they did not openly clash.
What They Say of Each Other.
But where serenity reigned In the
"Washington delegation up to a month
ago all Is now warlike, the air Is blue,
the confusion is great. Foster accuses
his colleague of hostility in that he did
not support him before the Legislature.
Ankeny replies that he was under no ob
ligations and Is not culpable, In that he
kept hands off and aided no candidate.
On the other hand, Ankeny charges that
his colleague betrayed him In that he, on
his return to Washington, secured the
appointment of a Surveyor-General un
ripr conditions base and underhand. Fos
ter Ignores the agreement, and says he
acted entirely within his right as a Sen
ator. Foster charges his colleague with
attempting to hold up the nomination of
the Seattle Postmaster In the Interest of
the Senator-elect, and not because of any
personal Interest. Ankeny points to the
fact-that he always opposed Stewart, and
was entirely consistent in his opposition,
though he does admit that Piles ought to
have been consulted. Ankeny's friends
intimate that Foster sold out at Olj mpla
In the hope of getting two votes from
Clark County, and give his failure to get
them as his reason for withdrawing his
opposition to the confirmation of Crowley
as Postmaster at "Vancouver. Foster of
fers no explanation of his change of baso
on that matter. Again, Foster is sore
because ho has been denied the right to
name the Postmaster at Tacoma, but this
is one thing he does not charge against
Ankeny, but against Cushman.
Don't Speak as They Pass.
Aide from a conference held on the
first day after Foster's return to Wash
ington, the Washington Senators have
largely ignored each other. Though their
committee rooms adjoin, they do not ex
change visits; though their seats in the
Senate are close together, they do not
chat as of yore. Foster goes direct from
his committee-room to the Senate cham
ber, and he goes alone. Ankeny does
likcfvlse. There Is no more arm-in-arm
business about it; no more of the '"smile
that won't come off" In Foster's neigh
borhood. He is a serious man now.
Foster has exhibited far more temper
than his colleague; ho is the man who
reports to violent language, who rants
and roars and makes the air blue. But
hp is excusable to some extent because
lie Is suffering from gout, which he con
tracted while making his fight for the
Senatorshlp. Gout has made many an
other man ill-tempered; it has had its ef
fect on Foster. Nevertheless, the gout
in not altogether responsible for Foster's
change of spirits; his troubles are mani
fold. Foster Vicious, at Cushman.
While Foster is sore at Ankeny, he is
equally vicious toward Representative
Cushman. There was one appointment
that Foster coveted above all others tho
Postmaster at Tacoma. It was Cushman
who stepped between him and that ap
pointment, and who showed the Presi
dent why Foster should not fill that place.
Cushman told the President how Foster
had played politics with Dr. L-ecrone,
and how he intended to pay a debt by
appointing Lecrono Postmaster. Cush
man knew the President; he knew the
President would not allow any Federal
office to be juggled around In that way.
That was where Cushman made a master-stroke.
Foster literally raved when
Cushman assumed to take a hand In the
Tacoma Postmastershlp fight; ho grew
moro angry and more excited than at any
time In his entire Senatorial career. Cush
man remained calm, made his statement
of the case, and trie President did the
rest.
Between Cushman and Ankeny Foster
Is putting in some very uncomfortable
days closing his business in Washington.
While he is somewhat placated by differ
ent victories, he is not hilarious, for he
has lost that which he most desired.
Cushman a Fifth Wheel.
If Cushman and Ankeny could combine
they would be able to accomplish even
more than they have accomplished so far,
but there is hardly more love between
Cushman and Ankeny than there is be
tween Cushman and Foster. Tn tli nra
ont delegation Cushman has all along
uecn mo mm wneei. in tno opinion of the
other members. He represents tho Wil
son element. In the next delegation he
will again play a lone part, for he Is not
of the Piles-Ankeny stripe; nor Is he of
the Jones-Humnhrev fnrtfnn Tin rsicVi.
man does not care. Ho worries along, he
accompiisnes. results, and on the whole
he rather enjoys the conflict TT inv a

TIED DOWN BY THEIR RULES
Members of House Are Reduced to
Mere Voting Machines.
OREGONIAN NKWs rtteitatt ttt v.
ington. Feb. 16. Members of the House
t ",c,5enuttcs constantly conjplai
senate assumes arrogant
power, and that each Senator, on ac
count of the liberty of debate and lack
ut -"c previous question. Is equal in
strength to the whole Housn of uonr.
sentatives. While to a certain extent
mis may oe true, the House has abdi
catcd its functions bv tho Ht,:m
cial-order provision of its rules, which
has not only had the. otfrt
ing filibustering, but has gone much
further and has the effect of tt-
ing legislation of a just character, such
as a majority of the House would like
to have. There was no especial reason
why opportunity should not have been
afforded members of the House to of
fers amendments tO the BsMi.Tniri.cnJ
railroad rate bill, save that It might
nave emuarrassea some members t
vote for nronositions that wnni iv
been offered, It was also true that the
m?n wno engineered tne deal were
afraid that too strong a bill would havi
been drawn.
As long as the House ties Itself u
so that It cannot amend a measure o
anv kind and leaves the nninai ,rta
cussion and amendment to. the Senate,
making It -impossible .in thev House' to
perfect legislation and leaving It to
the Senators to see that legislatlbn Is
perfected, so long will the House con
tinue in a secondary position to the
Senate and Its power will be curtailed.
The power of the Speaker and the
committee on rules is greater than
ever, and these three men are probably
equal In Importance -to a coterie of Sen
ators who decide to tmic a measure to
death. But the individuality of .mem
bers disappears, especially when they
are allowed to vote only on one propo
sition and cannot amend- that proposi
tion In any way.
It was a good thing to stop filibuster
ing:. In the 50th Congress, the last
Congress under the control of Speaker
Carlisle, the House was tied -up for two
or three weeks by the filibustering tac
tics which had been adopted by a
minority to prevent the passage of ,som
bill favored by the majority. Speaker
Reed and the Republican majority in
the 51st Congress no doubt did a wiso
thing when tliey provided for tho
counting of a quorum, for limiting da
bate and for bringing fhe House to -a
vote on any proposition that was be
fore It. But when that majority, which
has been followed by Democratic ma
jorities in two successive Congresses,
provided that the committee on rules
should have full power to bring In a
rule and refuse amendment to any
measure. It reached a position whorn
It stifled the House, and the individual
member became a mere voting machine
under the whip of the majority leaders.
Possibly it is truo that the measures

MANY TEARS A RESIDENT OF

FARMTNGTON. Wash., Feb. 36.
(Special.) Fred T. Bayfield, many
years a resident of Lane County, Ore
gon, departed from this lifo February
13. at Farmington, Wash., where he
has resided for the past 13 years. He
left a wife, two sons and one daughter
to mourn the loss. The deceased came
to California In 1852. during: the mining:
excitement, and had resided on the Pa

years of age.
and opposed by the majority under
these restricted conditions are better
than nothing at all. but there ought
not to be any question about allowing
amendments, and men ought not to be
afraid to vote on amendments if they
are not proper and do not meet the re
quirements of the legislation proposed.
lsven Hepburn of Iowa, a man of larse
experience in the House, has, at the
caucus preceding the meeting of each
Congress, warned the Republicans that
they wore tying their hands by adopt
Ing the rules, yet the majority goes
ahead and adopts them. It is useless
for the members of the House to com
plain that the are nonentities and can
merely be totaled up to carry bills
which the committee on rules approves
as long as they provide that all amend
ment, together with all debate, can
be shut off at any time when a major
lty of the House sustains the commit
tee on rules.
The argument of the men who sup
port these rules is that the House has
In its control, and can at any time vote
down, a rule proposed by the commit
tee, but everybody knows the power of
tho Speaker, and everybody realizes
that a man of the majority party would
be foolish to fight the majority on any
particular proposition. It is very sel
dom that a report of the committee on
rules falls to secure nearly every vote
of the majority party.
THE CHURCHES AND EDUCATION
W. H. P. Faunce Tells of Changes In
Their Relation.
BOSTON, Feb. 16. Interest today In
tho various meetings of the Religious
Education Association centered largely in
the session of the general convention. W
H. P. Faunce, of Brown University, made
the principal address.
The past year has been marked by unusual
evangelistic ctrbrt on the part of many
churches, both In America, and In Great
Britain. Such movements are sure to be
followed, by seal in education. One of onr
great needs Is to achlcvo in America what
has long been seen in Great Britain, the
union or candid, patient scholarship with
genuine fervor In religious and philanthropic
endeavor.
A second noteworthy tendency is the
lncsense of the underlying unity of all
agencies aimed at moral and religious de
velopmcnt.
Organizations not mentioned in any church
council, destitute of. ecclesiastical recogni
tlon. have sprung up In many places this
past year, for Blblo study, for training of
teachers, for study of mission fields. In
some states the federation of churches has
assumed educational functions.
The place of the homo in our Naational
scheme of education. President Faunce said.
is now receiving greatly Increased emphasis
and there Is a pronounced reaction against
the extreme eecularlzatlon of the schools.
The church is exalting tho teaching func
tlon as never before. In the last 30 years our
colleges have swung away from the ideal ot
their founders, and have come under the
Influence of the German University. Our
college faculties are now discussing whether
they havo gone too far in adopting a unl
versity attitude with the youngest of the
college boys.
The Young Mens Christian Association
continues' to do a potent work. Some of the
strongest associations are In the state uni
versities of the "West, whose religious in
fluences appear to be as efficient as In the
private endowed institutions of the East.
The ministerial calling Is not securing its
fair proportion, in respect of numbers or
ability, ot the educated manhood of our
time. Our civilization cannot endure with
out leaders of spiritual vision and prophetic
power.
Objects to American Duty.
"LONDON, Feb. 16. Replying to a ques
tlon In the House of Commons today on
the subject of the United States Treas
ury decision of Ma2, 19W, excluding
British brandy from favored treatment,
.Lord Percy, Under-Secretary of Foreign
Affairs, remarked that the government
had frequently expressed dissent from the
views of the United States Government
in regard to the meaning of the most fa
vored nation article of the treaty of
1S15. The treatment accorded to brandy,
however, would not be applied to all other
British imports to America, as suggested
by the questioners.
SLOW TO SIGN MEN
Lohman and Morley Have Not
Completed Teams.
FANS CRITICISE MANAGERS
Oakland Magnate Has Lo3t Many
Good J?layers Morley at His
Game of Bluff Benefit for
Jim McDonald.
According to the various reports that
are received from the various homes-of
the teams in the Pacific Coast League.
Pete Lohman and Jim Morley arc the
only two managers who have not as yet
completed their teams. The Oakland
manager seems to be having tho time of
his life in getting together the ball-toss-ers
that will battle for the rag of 1903.
Lohman and Cal Ewing seem to be
stricken with the disease of being "penny
wise and pound foolish."
So far. the Commuter manager has only
two of his old men signed up Kruger and
'Smiling" Schmidt. Kruger he managed
to hold from last year. He has made
one good stroke in signing Harry V ni
ton, catcher, which was anndunced yes
terday. Schmidt holds a two-year con
tract with the Oaklanders. Schmidt was
foxy enough to get this long-term con
tract last yc r, and when "Grandma"
Lobmap came along with his pruning-
knife. Schmidt's salary was not touched.
All the rest of the players felt the keen
edge of the knife, and that's the reason
Lohman is without an organization at
this -time.
"When Lohman let llohler and Schlafly
go, he lost two of the best men. on last
year's team. Neither of the players would
stand for the reduction in salary, so
Mohlcr Joined Uncle Hank Harris' Seals
and Manager McCredle secured the serv
ices of Schlafly. Since the deals for these
two players went through, the Oakland
fans have been howling their heads off.
They arc saying harsh things about Loh
man and Ewing's short-sighted financial
policy. Another thing which has made
the players slow in re-slgnlng with Oak
land is that they have been notified that
the Spring training will be done at Oak
land. Idora Park Is on a par with Rec
reation Park In San Francisco. Last
year Harris tried the scheme of training
at San Francisco, and he paid the pen
alty, for when the season opened he did
not have a live player on the team. Loh
man and Ewing both know this. They
know also that between the cold winds
and fog in Oakland, there will be little
chance to get the team into shape for a
hard campaign.
-uorley's troubles are internal. He has
tried his same old bluffing game ami has
tried to get President Bert to stand with
him in his claim for Chase and Doc New
ton, who are drafted into the major
league. President Bert very promptly-
turned down Morley's effort to .Involve
the Coast League Into a controversy. Nat
urally James Is very angry and declares
the league has turned him down.
Umpire Jim McDonald, who is well
known in Portland and to all baseball
fans. Is to be tendered a benefit by his
California friends. Thero will be a big
game of ball at Recreation Park on Feb
ruary 22. and all of the Coast League
stars now In San Francisco will donate
their services. The money derived from
the benefit will be turned over to Jim.
who lies In a serious condition at his
home. McDonald's Portland friends will
also contribute to his welfare. They join
his host of friends n wishing that his
present ailment may be conquered so
that he may soon be seen handling the in
dicator. McDonald s work in Portland
at several games was severely criticised,
dui nis nonesty was never questioned.

On the first ot March, Rev. C. M.
Smythe, who has been the pastor of the
Mississippi-Avenue Congregational Church
for the past year, will leave that church
and the Congregational pulpit. He will
return to the railroad business, which he
left to become pastor of this church. At
that time his term as pastor will expire,
and he notified the congregation at its
annual business session that his pastoral
relations would cease. He made no fur

Mr. Smythe will not cease altogether to
be a preacher, although he Is to re-enter

retractions In writing today of the charges
of bribery and Intimidation uttered by
them in the discussion of the eight-hour

adoption. "The committee," he said.
"should have made an effort to discover
what It was the lobbyists, or others who
have been going into the Speaker's room

Colorado Contest Shows More Queer
Methods at the Polls.
DENVER. Feb. IS. Ex-Governor Pea
v.r.Hv fir!av hnsran tn introduce tcstlmnnv
In rebuttal in his contest for the office
of Governor, now held by Governor Alva
Adams. Nine witnesses from Precinct 3.
"Ward 15, known as "Little Russia." testi
fied that they had voted the Republican
ticket, though the ballots whose numbers
Mi
w2
corresponded with their names on the
pollbooks in tho ballot-box, were Demo
cratic Only three of these witnesses had
written their ballots without assistance
from the Judges. Two of the three Iden
tified their ballots among thbse unchal
lenged by the experts. They bore the
heading "Republican," but the numbers
on them were different from those en
tered In the poll-book?. The hooks were
in a confused state and it was shown that
in several cases different numbers ap
peared against the same name in the two
books.
Five witnesses from Precinct 6, "Vard
12, one of the linest residence districts of
this city, were examined. The numbers
on the ballots In this precinct and in the
poll-books were also evidently carelessly
kept, as in every case the correct ballot
was found by the witness, properly num
bered according to one poll-book, but
Incorrectly according to the others.
By mutual consent two Democratic bal
lots, both marked with the same num.
ber, were put in evidence.
