THE MOUSING OB EGONLAJS", SATURDAY, JA2HJAKY 13. 1906. SUGAR MEN'S PLEA Fear .Filipino Competition Will Hurt Them. SPEECH v BY BRIDEGROOM against James W. Reynolds, renominated "b'y tho President as Secretary for New Mexico, were considered by the Senate committee on territories today, and the confirmation will bo held up until they can be investigated. The serious charges against Reynolds are that when acting as Governor, he pardoned notorious crimi nals for political effect; that he had man ipulated his office so as to secure large fees; also that he and ex-Governor Otero had. by some unfair means, procured land eight miles wide on either side o an Im portant stream, which they use for a sheep ranch. The statehood fight enters Into tho mat ter to some extent, and Reynolds Is op posed by the faction which is seeking Joint statehood with Arizona. Longworlli Wants to Get Rid of Phil ippines as Soon as They Can Govern Themselves Tariff Debate Ends Monday. - WASHINGTON, Jaiu 12. Interest was injected into the Philippine tariff debate in tho House today by "Massachusetts idoa" tariff expressions by McCall. of that state, by a character study of the Fili pino by Longworth of Ohio, and by a de fense of President Roosevelt by Pou, a Democrat from North Carolina. Besides these there were a number of speeches delivered on the merits of the bill, nearly all of which were in opposition to it. During the day an agreement was reached whereby the debate is to continue for two days more. The House Is to meet at 11 o'clock tomorrow and Monday to close general debate at 5 o'clock. The measure will be taken up for amendment under the five-minute rule Tuesday, and doubtless disposed of on that day. Broussard (Dcm. La.) opened the debate. He figured the Philippine treasury would receive JS.61 on every ton of sugar shipped from those islands to the United States under the bill: that the shipper would make a profit because of the tariff con cession of $10.50. "With this situation the Philippines could well afford to ship here their entire product and buy sugar for their own use from Java or other coun tries. Broussard asserted with great empha sis that to reduce the tariff on raw sugar as contemplated in the bill would benefit the "sugar trust" more than anyone else, simply by providing it with raw material at a less cost- Bcct Sugar Man Fears Filipino. Asserting that the beet-.sugar industry was the essential factor In the success of the irrigation projects of the West. Brooks of Colorado characterized as bad states manship any move to cripple it. If let alone, in ten years the sugar beet would furnish .half the sugar consumed In the country. Brooks provoked good-natured applause by applying Dalzcll's argument addressed to the beet-sugar industry "You need no protection, what you need Is improved methods" to the Iron and steel Industry of Pittsburg. The statement of Dalzcll that it would cost $4.13 a hundred to lay Philippine sugar down in New York, was disputed by Brooks, who placed the figure at $3.55. The friends of the bill, he said, claimed that under It but 200.000 tons of Philippine sugar would come here. Beet-sugar men were not afraid of that amount, but were afraid of the amount they themselves be lieved would come, and that was from 700.000 to 1,000.000 tons. Tho Filipino la borer who would produce sugar. Brooks said, wears for clothes a breechcloth, he gets his breakfast from a tree, his dinner from the same tree, and works for 13 cents a day. This is the labor that will be placed in competition with the Amer ican laborer. Opposition was made to the bill by Howell of Utah, on the ground that it was not only a menace, but threatened the vers' existence of the beet-sugar in dustry. He reviewed the inception of tho beet-sugar Industry, at which time the Republican party voted a bounty of 2 cents a pound to encourage it. Now that party, he said, was about to destroy it. A brief speech against the bill was made by McCall of Massachusetts. He said, from a tariff standpoint, he saw no dif ference to this country' between free trade with the Philippines and free trade with any other country in tho world. Longworth "Would Quit Islands. In a 15-mlnutc speech Longworth of Ohio gave the House his Impression of his Philippine trip last Summer. Longworth was greeted with applause, and marked attention was given his castigatlon of the Filipino character. Ho favored the bill as the best means of developing the Fili pino into a condition of self-government, at which .moment he would be more than glad to drop the islands. The passage of the bill, he said, would not damage one lota any American industry or American labor employed In that industry. T. for one," continued Longworth, "am not In favor of holding the Philippine Isl ands as a part of the United States a mo ment longer than we absolutely have to." This statement was met with general ap plause, but particularly Democratic "I am in favor of turning those Islands over to the Filipino people," continued Long worth, "to govern themselves at the very llrst moment that they have proved to us they are capable of governing themselves. How soon that time may come Providence alone knows, but I say the sooner the better." (Applause.) In a brief speech, Pou of North Caro lina declared that $1,900,000 campaign fund of the Republican party at the last elec tion had made it sure that there would be no satisfactory railroad rate legisla tion, nor any revision of the tariff. The debate for the- day was closed by French of Idaho In opposition to tho bill, because it Is a danger to the American beet-sugar industry. FRENCH OPPOSES REDUCTION Idaho Member Says Idaho Beet In dustry Will Suffer. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Jan. 12. Representative French, or Idaho, today spoke In opposition to the Philippine tariff bill, declaring It to be a violation of the Republican doctrine of protection. He said tho Republican party In 1896 promised protection to the beet-sugar Industry, and under this nro- tectlon the Industry has thriven. If the Philippine tariff were removed, it would let In from the Islands as much sugar as we now import from all foreign countries, and with slight development of the sugar Industry in the islands, tho American beet-sugar industry would be utterly de stroyed. He said the sugar trust controls tho price of sugar In this country, and the reduction of duty on Philippine sugar would not benefit American consumers, but solely benefit the trust With all for eign competition removed, he declared tho trust could probably exact higher prices than now prevail. To develop the Philippine sugar indus try, he said, would necessitate the im portation of coolie labor from China and Japan, something he strongly objected to, as it would bring cheap labor into com petition with American labor. He said several new sugar factories are about to bo established in Idaho, but these new industries would be damaged by the re duction of the duty on Philippine sugar. Mr. French is in favor of helping the Philippines, but not along lines that will bring their cheap labor la competition with American labor. CHARGES AGAINST REYNOLDS Xcw Mexican Official Accused of Grafting: andOthcr Crimes. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. Charges TO SUCH WOULD BE HERMANN'S APPEARANCE IN HOUSE. Influential Journal Warns Him. of Consequences and Advises Ore gon to Select Better Men. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 12. Members of Representa tive Blnger Hermann's family have com plained recently of what they 'term "un just criticism" of Mr. Hermann in the Portland papers. Tho Washington Post today prints a strong editorial cchsure of Mr. Hermann, far more sever and rasping than anything said of him in the Portland papers. The Post accurately re flects the sentiment which generally pre vails In both houses o Congress, In ad ministration circles in Washington and throughout the East. .This is what the Post says: It is a humiliation to the people of Oregon that there han been no man in the House of Representatives from that state elnce the opening of ConjrreBB. It will be a greater hu miliation to them If a sole member from that state should appear and. attempt to participate in legislation while be Is under Indictment, both In the District or Columbia and in Oregon. The House tolerated the presence of the Indicted members at the last session, but public sentiment hat quickened since that time, and. If the Oregon Representative should offend It by taking his place among the Legis lators, his reception might convince even him that his usefulness has vanished. Believes Oregon Wants Good Mea. The report comes to the Post from valued corrrapondenta In Oregon that thfc people of that Mate "do not appear to appreciate fully the duty resting upon them of sending men of high character to Washington. It Is Im possible to cwdlt this statement. Whatever the condition of the political machinery in that etate. It Is incredible that the people general ly are Indifferent to the standing of the com monwealth In Congress. Public opinion has never reached such & stane In any state of the Union that the people have not honored men of high character and attainments and deplored the presence In office of their op posite. Tho people of Oregon have been rep resented by both kinds of men, and, poesibly through Indifference, permitted certain condi tions to continue long after they knew whern their 'duty lay. Thw phock of recent events 1 sufficient to prevent any further negligence on their part. Good Word for Gearln. That an awakening has occurred in Ore gpn as well as In other parts of the country Is evident. The appointment of the Hon. John M. Gearin as Senator from that state has been a reassurance of the 60und and healthy condition of public sentiment In Oregon and has done much to restore the standing of Oregon In Congrc-s. If the people shall se lect men of hl stamp at the forthcoming pri maries and elect two of them to Congress next June the shame and humiliation of past events will soon be effaced; bo tar as the use fulness of the delegation is concerned. But If it should happen that Oregon should send poor or corrupt material to tho House of Representative It would be a double re proach to them, for It would have been done with their eyes open and would be In effect an affront to the rest of the country. It would be a declaration that while a man of high character may reach Congress by ap pointment, the people prefer to elect the other kind. W believe that Oregon, after her bitter experience, will take pain to send to Congress a delegation that will reflect credit on the tate. It Is apparent from the foregoing that Senator Gearin has made a favorable im pression in Washington. LAW'S DELAYS EXHAUSTED 3Irs. Chadwick Taken to Prison, De spite Her Illness. CLEVELAND. O., Jan. 12. Mrs. C. L. Chadwick. escorted by United States Mar shal Chandler and a deputy, left Cleve land this morning for the State Peniten tiary at Columbus to begin her sentence of 10 years' Imprisonment. There were no friends at the station to bid her farewell. "During the night Mrs. Chadwlck's at torneys sought by every possible means to obtain a stay of execution of the sen tence. In this, however, they were un successful. Prior to leaving the county jail, a physician was called In to see Mrs. Chadwick. He said that she was un doubtedly ill. but that he believed she could safely make the trip to Columbus. Shortly before the train left, Mrs. Chad wick said: "I am going to try and be brave' and keep up now to the last," SHE ARRIVES AT COLTJMBTJS Identified as 3Iadarue Dcvcrc and Illness Not Credited. COLUMBUS. Or., Jan. 12. Mrs. Casslo L. Chadwick arrived at the penitentiary today to begin a sentence of ten years for conspiracy to wreck the Citizens' Na tional Bank at Oberlin, O. She was taken through the baggage-room under the gen eral waiting-room in the Union Station, hastily placed in a carriage and hustled off to prison. Ten policemen were sent to the station to keep the crowd back, and three policemen escorted tho woman to tho carriage. Mrs. Chadwick traveled to Columbus In a Pullman. No special preparations were made In the woman's department for the reception of Mrs. Chadwick. She will bo compelled to sleep on a cot in the corridor of the prison, as the woman's department Is filled. The prison officials are firm In tho belief that Mrs. Chadwick is Madame Deverc. for after sho had filed her name with the clerk, the following entry was made in the book of the prison: "Mrs. Cassle L. Chadwick, alias Mmc Devere 10 years conspiring to wreck a National Bank. Cuyahoga County, re ceived January 12, 1900 Expires January 12, 1916, good tlmo November, 1S12." The prison officials are skeptical as to the Illness of Mrs. Chadwick. They say that she will be treated as any other prisoner. They think the reports that she has heart trouble are groundless, and after an examination, if it is found she is able, she will be put to washing or other heavy work. If not she will be placed In the sewing department. An ex-woman clerk in tho secre tary's office of the nenltentlary Identi fied Mrs. Chadwick sometime after she arrived at the prison as Madame De verc, who had served a term In the penitentiary In 1901 for forgery. Mrs. Chadwick. after the Identification, neither admitted nor denied that she was Mmc Deverc. Mrs. Chadwick became extremely ner vous and was placed In the hospital, where she will be- kept during the day. Ex-Soldiers to Pay Pall Fare. CHICAGO. Jan. 12. By the action of the Central Passenger Association,, which was Choose A Piano As You Would A Friend In choosing a t piano, you should be just as careful as you are in selecting your friends. Be real sure that a piano is worthy of the intimate com panionship of your home be fore you admit it to the circle. The proper test of both friends and pianos is RE LIABILTY. The Fischer has achieved the distinction of being the raosl popular piano in the United States simply .because the owners of Fischers always recommend that piano to their friends. If you arc in the market to buy a piano we would be only too pleased to furnish you the names of scores to whom we have sold Fischer pianos. In all probability you have some friend who owns a Fischer. Ask them if they would recommend you to buy a Fischer. "We don't ask you to take our word for it. If you can find a single dis interested person who owns a Fischer and who tells 3ou not to buy the Fishcher take their word for it. We recommend the Fischer simply on the grounds of what it has done the reports that come to us from persons to whom we have sold the Fischer. Fischer quality is the result of workmanship and material. Some pianos have the inside of the cases finished. The FLscher has not. To finish the inside of a piano case costs money and docs no good. "What some other pianos waste in gew-gaws, the Fischer puts into quality. See the Fischer, hear.-tbe Fischer, ask your friend that owns a Fischer. . Remember, we give especial attention to out-of-town trade. "Write us or telephone us. Allen S Gilbert Ramaker Co.- SIXTH AND MORRISON.

LEES GRANDSON A PAUPER Aged Descendant of Revolutionary General In Want. CHICAGO, Jan. 12. Gray-haired and bent with age. Samuel Lee. who claims to be a grandson of Major-General Charles Lee, of Revolutionary fame, was an applicant for lodging at the Harrison street police station last night. Justice Caverly, to whom he told the story of his plight, gave him the price of a bed. and ho hobbled away to a Clark-street lodging-house. "I am 77 years old," the old man said, "and this Is the first time in my life that I have been compelled to ask for a night's lodging In a police station. My grand father, Charles Lee. was a Major-General in tho American Revolutionary army. He was the first of our family to come from England, and before joining the Ameri can forces he was a lieutenant in the British army." Lee was born in Philadelphia. He was color-bearer of Company E, Twenty sixth Pennsylvania Volunteers in the "War of the Rebellion. At the battle of Look out Mountain his right hand was shot off. He receives a pension from the Government of $22 a month. Coming to Chicago before the fire of 1S7L be has lived here since.

VL The same of check and counter-check between the rival railroads was resumed today when the Southern Pacific laid a stretch of track through the town of Melrose, four miles from Oakland. The move was ex plained bj the tracklayers as part of a plan to expedite the movement of freight, but as the right of way of the Western Pacific extends through this section, the Western Pacific people regard this man euver as another obstacle in their at tempt to reach the water front. The legal end of the struggle com menced in the Superior Court of Oakland today when Judge Waste took up the hearing of the injunction proceedings In stituted against the Southern Pacific by the American Dredging Company. This was the first suit filed, and in it the dredging concern seeks to have the South ern Pacific enjoined from laying track on the trestle near the retaining wall. Argument was commenced and will be resumed tomorrow. Willie this proceeding was in progress attorneys for the dredging company se cured a Federal Injunction against the Southern Pacific similar to the one now being- argued before Judge Waste. The purpose of this Federal injunction, it is I4, is to have tke Southern Pacific still under restraint should Judge Waste de cide unfavorably to the petitioner. Thero were no developments on the Oakland water front today. The weather was so inclement that all the followers of the rival companies were content to en joy such shelter as their hastily built shacks afforded.
