THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1906. ON ES SHARPER Two Republicans Are Against Philippine Bill. DALZELL ITS CHAMPION PJttsiburpr Protectionist Wants Free "Trade With Islands Ex-Speaker Kiefer Speaks Vigorously Against Any Concession. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. A vigorous speech In favor of the Philippine tariff hill by Dalzoll opened the proceedings In the House today. It was followed by sev eral others against the measure, most notable of which was a two-hour address by the veteran statesman, Ex-Speaker Kelfcr, of Ohio, who returns to the House after a rotirement of 20 years. Keifer bc- ;poko a "standpat" doctrine of the most pronounced type. He iid he would op pose the ponding bill because it was a concession to Domocratlc principles. His speech was replete with recollections of earlier days and received the closest at tention and liberal applause from both .sides of the chamber. Just before the session closed the inci dent of the ejection from the executive offices of Sirs. Minor Morris was made the subject of discussion by Shepard, of Texas. A brief reply was made by Gros venor (Ohio), who deprecated sending out pcnsatlonal reports regarding the Ameri can administration. Dalzcll for Free Trade. Dalzcll asserted that the Philippine arch ipelago Is a portion of the United States, and there ought to "be free trade both ways, but that under the circumstances at this time it is impossible. "When the treaty stipulation granting Spain the same advantages as the United States expires in 1P03, there will bcfrec trade under this bill. Asserting that the future of the Phil ippines was a problem for statesmen that are to come, Dalzcll Insisted that self government had been given the Filipino people, except in the two rights trial by jury and to bear arms.. Vc have," said ho, "extended to these people our navi gation laws, our immigration laws and our alien contract labor laws., Do you moan to toll me we shall commit them to our domestic policies, require thorn to carry their goods only in American bot toms and 6till exclude them from our markets? Xo. the Philippine Islands must 1)0 either wholly foreign or wholly do mestic" Characterizing as iridescent dreams tho fnbulous amount of sugar and tobacco which the opponents of the bill declared would come from the Philippines under the now rates. Dalzoll itemized the cctual cost of a pound of Philippine sugar laid down in New York, which aggregated 4.13 cents, as against 3.00 cents as tho cost of Michigan beet sugar and C.71 cents of Colorado sugar. From these he do ducted that within the next century tho American boot sugar was in no danger from competition with Philippine sugar. Williams, the minority lender, stated tho exact Democratic position on the tariff. "It should bo levied solely with regard to tho maximum revenue produc tion. If it protects Jn certain places, well and good, but that should not be Its 5ri mary object." KWfcr Opposes Bill. Keifer said ho was noniowhat embar rassed to take a position In opposition to mai or notli parties on the bill. "On this side," he said, "the claim is made that 'there is not enough of free jrauc in n to nun. and on the other side. .!...- u 4 nut cnougu unconstitutionality in it to Hurt.' " Ho quoted from the speech of Payne to tho efTect that the bill would not do the Filipinos much good, but there was sentiment in it. the j-jujjuius inougnt it would, and It would encourage them, and then declared: T am not opposed to encouraging any- oody, nut l can't e my way loar to vote for this hill merely because tho Fili pinos are deceived into the belief that it win ao mom some good, when it won't About 25 years ago. Kelfcr said, he had made a prophecy in a 10-mlnuto rPPh in tho House which hnd come true. That was. that the only way to get rid of the coiiego professors' theorios of free trade was to have free trade. "We had free trade and had got rid of tho theories. H was opposed to Joining the free traders now. e contracted the present prosper ity with the "soup-house days" of tho wnson om. and was followed with amusement in reviewing Democratic declaration that God and not the Re publican party was responsible for pros perity, for tho better conditions which foL lowed the resumption of specie payments and the establishment of the gold stand ard. 'T say it reverently," he said, "that my party advocates tho thing that tho Al mighty sees fit to work out and accom plish completely, and that should bo glory enough for us. And it may bo said that tho Democratic party, in the many thlng3 it has had on its banner and gono down with to defeat, has simply boon unfortunate that the Almighty was not witn them. " Dixon Calls It Democratic Bill. Opposition to thebill was made in a 20 mlnute speech "by Dixon, of Montana. His assertion that the Republicans were unit ing to further tho Democratic doctrino of free trade brought a protest from Macon, of Arkansas, .who said the Democratic party did not stand for freo trade. "How about the declarations of Champ Clark and Bourke Cochran in their as sertions that all the ciurtom-houses should be torn down?" asked Dixon. "I have . great respect for the. gentleman from Missouri." responded Macon, "hut not so well. I have less respect for the opinions of the gentleman from Now York. "Williams, the minority leader, explained that his party did not believe in frco trade, and the declaration .in Its plat form that "all forms of protection are robbery." to which attention was called by Grosvenor, did not mean free trade. Slicpard Champions Mrs. Morris. The recent ejection of Mrs. Minor Mor ris from tho White House office building was made the subject of remarks by Shepard. of Texas. Shepard has a reso lution for an investigation of the inci dent ponding before the rules committee. 1 Grosvenor made the point of order that the discussion of a resolution pending be fore a committee was not proper. "If the President had heard tho howl of a wolf or the growl of a bear in tho adjoining room he would have been on the scene Immediately." said Shepard. Ho characterized the Mrs. Morris occur rence as "an unwarrantable and unneces sary brutality which demanded investiga tion and merited censure." "If Con grass," he continued, "composed of American fathers, husbands, brothers, permits this incident to go unrebuked, it will add a passive and cowardly approval of this violation of the most sacred prin ciples of American life." Grosvenor, in reply, said he knew no difference between the dignity of tho White House and any other home In the city, and lie did not consider the Ameri can Congress in tho sense of a police court or as having anything to do with the question of disorderly-conduct of any employe In the neighborhood of the White nouse. 1 UTS QUIETUS OX SIMMOXS Senate Talks of Anything Katlicr Than Morocco Conference. WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. The Senate made it plain today that it had yesterday all that it wants to hear for the present on the Moroccan question. There wore two opportunities to resume consldera lion of me subject, but both .wore avoided, apparently with the assent of all the members, and the Senate ad Journed at a comparatively early hour rather than take It up- Notwithstanding the early adjourn ment. a great deal of business was dls posed of. About SO bills were passed, leaving on the calendar only six or seven, Of those passed a large majority grant private pensions and many are bridge bills. One of the bills favorably acted upon appropriates E0,O00 for tho appro priate marking of the graves of Confed erato soldiers who died in Northorn prisons during the Civil War. For the rest of the session tho Senate" gave attention in turn to the question of salaries paid to Panama Canal officials, to the pure food bill and the merchant marine shipping bill, but without tak Ing action on any one of those sub jects. The canal subject was discussed by Simmons and the pure food bill by Heyburn. The only action taken on the shipping bill was that of reading it at length. At the beginning of the session Crane Introduced by request a Joint resolution requiring tho President "to open negotia uons witn mo other nations to secure the neutralization of the Philippine Is lands and the recognition of tholr Indc pendence whenever the same shall be granted to them by the United States." Simmons Bigclow's 3IouUiplecc. After the routine business had been dis posed of. Simmons called up his rcsolu tion making a request for the names of the high salaried employes of the Panama Canal Commission. Simmons quoted an article from Poultney BIgolow criticising the management of the canal, saying that ne was not In sympathy with It. "Does the Senator know how long Mr. BIgolow was on the Isthmus?' asked L)dge. and when Simmons replied in tho negative, iLodge said he was there only for 2S hours from Novombcr 29 to De cember 1. "I hope." replied Simmons, "that, while there, his observations were so directed as to get more truth out of the situation than did the Secretary of War In his re cent visit." Continuing. Simmons said that his only purpose in referring to the article was to show that the mind of the American pro pie is prepared to expect excess and abuses on the isthmus. The resolution was referred to tho committee on inter oceanic canals. Pure Food Bill Up Again. On motion of Heyburn. the Senate then proceeded to the consideration of the pure food bill and Heyburn addressed tlw benate In support or it. He said that the primary object of the bill was to protect the public against fraud and de ception. He analyzed the bill and said that it had been so modified as to pro tect retail dealers in manufactured zoods and he added that there had been other changes, adding, however that the bill contained all that was in the bill of last winter. "Then." said Spooner. "it is obioction able,' When told by Heyburn that the penalty provision had been so amended as to provide that dealers in imnorted articles covered by the bill shall not be punished unless they purchase the iroods knowing them to be adulterated, Spooner repned mat tne clwnge effects "a groat improvement." Further consideration of the bill was postponed until tomorrow. Among the bills passed, were the fol lowing: Incorporatinjr the American Na tional Institute (Prix de Paris) at Paris. trance; authorizing of the markinc of the graves of the Confederate soldiers who died In Northern prisons during the livii war and apjroprIatIng $200,000 for mat purpose. Afraid to Mention Morocco. At o clock, Gallinger asked for tho reading of the merchant marine shipping bill, but Morgan suggested that that blil had been displaced by the Senate in secret session yesterday, when It made tho Bacon Morocco resolution tho regu lar order. The chair held that tho Mo rocco resolution had gone to the calen dar by unanimous consent. The reading oi tne snipping Dill then proceeded. wiion mo .Moroccan resolution was under consideration, it was not referred to by name. Morgan spoke of it as n "certain proposition" and the Vlce-Prcsl dent mentioned it as "the measure re ferred to. Damage to Kentucky Slight. NI2W YORK, Jan. 10. The buttloship jvcniucKy -win not be placed in the drydock at the Navy-yard, as a rosult oi ner collision with the Alabama, on Sunday. This was decided upon yes terday, aftor a consultation of Captain J. N. Hemphill, actinjr commandant. Naval Constructor Nutting and other officials. The only Injuries to the ship are found to be above the water line. They consist of the bending and the breaking of some plates on tho star, board quarter. Two small pieces of the blades of the Kentucky's starbonr.i propeller have been chipped off, bur mcy are so small, tho divers report, that their loss will not interfere with the speed of tho ship. The chief en gineer declares the report that tht shaft was bent to be untrue. It was decided that repairs should pro ceed night and day. This, It Is thought, will release the ship in less than two weeks, so she will be able, sooner than was expected, to join the other ves sels of the North Atlantic squadron, now in Hampton RoHds. It was decided that repairs should pro ceed night and dav. This.

Representa tive Ovorstrcot (Ind.), secretary of the Republican Congressional Committee, an nounced today that the President's fail ure to allow him to name the Surveyor of the Port at Indianapolis has discour aged him so badly that ho will not again serve on the committee. When asked if ho will resign from the committee. Mr. Ovcrstrect said: "No. I shall not resign. But I shall not accept re-election to the committee. What's the use? I'm not dolnrr thin fnr spite, but I only bad one appointment. uuu. wncn mat s laxon away, there's nothing left for me." Mr. Ovcrstrect says Senator BevrrMr has more than his share of Federal nr. flees In Indianapolis, and gives a list of the Beveridge appointees. It Is alleged that President Roosevelt wrote a letter to Mr. OverstrceL savlnt- he had promised Mr. Beveridge more than a year ago to appoint Mr. Rothschild, and that he did not feel that he could recede from that promise.

AVlld Rush to Escape. The fire, which is supposed to have been caused by crossed electric wires, was in Itself insignificant, being confined to the elevator shaft and the top floor In the corner of the building, but the wild scene which followed the first ntartn hurried people into the halls and out upon wuiaows in a Iran tic attempt to save themselves. The financial loss will not exceed $30,009. Gives Jjlfc to Save Another's. Captain John Borwin. who lost M iif in saving the life of Mrs. Barlow, was one of tho first of the firemen to climb Into the burning building. Ascending to the seventh Moor on a scaling ladder, ho stumbled upon the unconscious form of Mrs. uarlow. The aged woman had groped her way to the stairway, oniv to auiTumo to tne smoKc. Strapping tho limn bodv to his lvark- Berwln pushed out onto the window ledge to carry his burden down the lad der. Between the seventh and sixth floors tne step broke. Bending over to balance tno body of tho woman a moment. tl fireman leaned forward, at the risk nf nis own lire and, gathering himself for a supreme effort, hurled the woman- toward a projecting ledge on the floor bclosv. Mrs. Harlow had been revived bv the cold air. and flie grasped the nrolectlon ana neni on. in making the throw. Can lam Mcrwm lost nis balance and was dashed to his death on the oavement. Mrs. Barlow was rescued by another fire man. Mr. Wolfe met a horrible death Jie was burned in hut room, and the rendition of tho furniture In dicated that he had fought the flames until tho last. All the clothinjr had been torn from the bed. and it was annarent tnat tne man nad sought to smother tho names which eventually consumed him. Mrs. s. H. Wood and her daughter, nro. priotors of the West Hotel, were both rescued and carried down in safety. Tvcl Down by Hope of Bedding, One of tho most thrilling rescues was that or I'. A. Chamberlain, of the Seeur. ity'Bank. and members of his famllv. who were not awakened in time to make their escape by the usual exits. For many anxious minutes they remained at their window In the top story at the Fifth- street and Hcnnepin-avenue corner. Mr. Chamberlain gathered bedding and made a rope of It. and at the same time tho extension ladders were being placed into position, but were found too short. The Pompier ladders were then rushed to the scene and a fireman with a rope about him placed the ladder firmly and scaled it, while thousands of spectators cheered. Arriving at the window, he took one after the other, and lowered them safely to the extension ladder, two storios beneath. y moans or tne rope, from which they were brought to safety. The rescue was accomplished amid deathlike silence when tho fireman reached the window. When the last per son had been lowered and the fireman followed the cheering broke loose. Leaps Down to Brick Pavement. The first to jump was Mrs. Hodges. She ran from her own room In the rear to a window ou the side where sho thought she would find tho fire-cscanc. In her excitement she opened the wrong window, but feeling confident that tho fire-escape was there, stepped out. She stopped on a ledgo a moment, rubbing her face as though completely blinded by tho smoke then took a step into the air and was gone. She fell Into tho nar row runway on a level with the base ment and her body was crushed to a pulp. Almost at tho same tlmo two men opened other windows, and, evidently making the same mistake as tho woman. leaped into the brick paved alley, meet ing instant death. One was Pelslngcr, the other Black. All of tho hospitals sent their ambu lances to tho fire. Physicians hastened to the hotel nnd offered their services. and undoubtedly many Uvea were saved by their efforts. The hospitals sent a corps of nurses to give first aid to the in jured, and they were kept- busy for sev eral hours after tho Are had been checked. T. K. Chalgon, of New York, was ter ribly burned about the face and hands while crawling through a long hall. Ho finally reached safety by means of a. fire escape at tho rear, a block from his room. lie anu otners said the red lights indicating the fire escapes were rendered Invisible by the smoke, and the guests were almost ncipie&s in tneir search for exits. More than a score of them were carried down fire escapes and ladders by firemen, and not a few lowered them selves and friends by making ropes of bed doming ana curtains.

DREDGE COMPANY QUITS Southern Pacific Succeeds In Secur ing a Temporary-Injunction. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 10. The con tentions between the Southern Pacific and the Western Pacific Railroads were trans ferred to new legal ground today. At torneys acting for the Southern Pacific applied to United States Circuit Judge Morrow for writ3 of injunctions against the Western Pacific and the American Dredging Company. Judge. Morrow granted temporary injunctions made re turnable at an early day. Tho writs direct the Western Pacific to stop laying railway track on United States property and order the dredging company to cease pumping mud on Fed eral territory. The papers were received shortly before dusk. The foreman of the tracklayers said he would read the docu ment when he had time and his men con tinued work until 6 P. M., the usual hour for quilting. The dredges which have been operat ing day and night ceased work Immedi ately. The orders are practically similar to those issued in .the state courts and which were not recognized by the dredg ing company and the Western Pacific, because they claimed to be engaged on federal ground. It was to cover this contention that the new writs were asked for. The writs were made returnable before Judge .Morrow January 15. Tho Western Pacific officials announce toaay tnat their CO armed cuards wnulri be retained on the nroDertv wher the tracks are being laid. The Southern Pa cific today began the tracklaying on the united states retaining wall on the south side of the estuary. Commenting on this fact the Western Pacific people said to night that this operation would put the Southern Pacific In an embarrassing po sition wnen court proceedings came up. Seize Box In Potroro District. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 10. The track laying war between ths Southern Pacific and Santa Fc on one side and the "West ern Pacific on the other, broke out in San Francisco today in the Potrero dis trict. The Santa Fe agents hastily gath ered together an army of workmen and with great speed laid rails along Rhode Island street until the long ribbon of steel rested on the eastern boundary of Potrero. block 135. This block is a prize for which the corporations are strug gling, and for the possession of which legal proceedings have .already started In the local Superior Courts. The track today runs through the block and the builders of the track have what ever advantage possession may bring. The Western wants the block for termi nal purposes, and has brought condemna tion proceedings. The Terminal Realty Company, ostensible owners of the block. today charged that the Western Pacific was not acting in good faith, and asked that tho Western engineers be summoned to disclose their proposed right of way and survey. This effort to compel a dis closure of the estcrn Pacific plans was quickly denied by Superior Judge Hunt, who said: "The Western Pacific cannot be com pelled to disclose Its proposed route to the public. Obviously, there are not only corporatlons but hundreds of individuals that would be happy In the possession of the knowledge of just where this road is going to run. Even though no other opposing interests existed, speculators would hurry to secure lands on the line, and prices would leap accordingly. The petition for the order is denied." "Western Pacific Peels Safe. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10. Colonel Heuor, chief of the United States engi neers of California, stated today that the Government is not concerned in what railway occupies the newly-made land along the north retaining wall of the Oakland ostuary. which land, he believes, belongs to tho state. He will not attempt to disturb the Western Pacific if Its tracks laid there are not" on the retaining wall. An official of the Western Pacific said that the whole dispute will be de termined by the courts and meanwhile nis company Is In possession of the coveted strip of land running out to aeep water rrom the shore. If the Se totnry of War grants the Western Pa cific privileges of buildins: slips and wharves at the end of the land, this official said there would be little trouble in tne remainder of the dispute. FIGHTING TO LAST DITCH Greene and Gaynor Bcsist Trial ori Conspiracy Clinrp;c. SAVANNAH. Ga.. Jan. 10. Upon the convening of the Federal Court today A. A. Lawrence, of counsel for Greene and Gaynor, resumed his argument in support of the plea In abatement of fered by the defense yesterday to the two indictments returned in 1S33' and -uva respectively, claiming mat con spiracy is not extraditable. Mr. Erwln said the Government con tends that there was a conspiracy to defraud, and tljat this was put into operation, and that the putting of this fraud Info operation constituted fraud. and therefore, was extraditable. There were specified offenses, too, in the in dlctmcnt, one consisting in- the- presen tation for payment of fraudulent ac counts. "Were they extradited for conspir acy7" asked the court. Mr. Erwln replied that they had been extradited for participation in fraud with an ngent, this agent having been Captain carter. Upon the conclusion of the argument of Mr. Lrwin, P. v. Meldrum, leading coun sel for tho defense, followed In support of tho contention that the defendants could not be brought back to the United States from Canada upon one charge and nen tried upon another one. Before Mr. Mel drum had concluded his argument an adjournment was taken until tomorrow. CALLS JORDAN. A CRANK Honolulu High Sheriff Declares airs. Stanford AVas Slain for Purpose. SAX FRANCISCO. Jan. 10. A special dispatch from Honolulu says that HIch Sheriff William Henry, who was at the head of the local pollco -when Mrs. Jane Stanford died there In March last, has caused a sensation in tho island capital by the assertion that the death of Mrs. Stanford was brought about In the inter est of Stanford University; that he be lieves that Mrs. Stanford was murdered. "I believe," he continued, "that Dr. David Starr Jordan thinks this way. He Is a science cranK. He is all wrapped up In science and thinks of nothing: else. "Tho Stanford university at the time of Mrs. Stanford's death was in most urgent need of money.
