SMQDT
Opponents of Mormon Give Up
the Struggle for This
Season.
HAVE EYE TO ELECTIONS
All Sorts of Excuses, but Real One
Is Lack of Votes Election in.
Mormon States May Af
fect the Result. '
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
Inrton, May 22. There will be no action
on the Smoot cane this session, because
the opponents of the Mormon Senator
are now convinced that they can not win
their fight. It Is announced that the re
port of the committee Is delayed because
of the Illness of Chairman Burrows, and
when Burrows reappears another excuse
will be forthcoming;. The case will not
be brought up In the Senate for discus
sion this session. - -
Several Senators who would vote to un
seat Smoot are not willing: to vote to ex
clude him. It take a two-thirds vote to
unseat, while a majority vote will ex
clude, and on this basis the leaders of
the antl-8moot movement are unable to
figure out enough votes to get Smoot out.
These Senators are studiously attempt
ing to make it appear that Smoot's
friends are responsible for the postpone
ment, but this is not the fact. Smoot
Is content that the case shall g-o over.
If the Senate so desires, but he Is not
afraid to go before the Senate whenever
the commute Is ready.
The report Is circulated today that It
Is desirable that the Smoot case shall go
over in order that the Senate may have
the benefit of the result of theelection in
Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and other states
which have a large Mormon population.
It being stated that if these states do not
make Mormonism the Issue and do not
overthrow the Mormons at the election It
will be evidence that the people in the
states most affected are not alarmed at
Mormon participation in politics, where
as. If Mormonism is made the Issue in
these states and the Mormons are de
feated, it will be evidence that the peo
ple of the West fear the menac of Mor
monism and such rsults would have the
effect of strengthening the opposition to
Smoot.
But this is merely a blind. The Smoot
case goes over because his opponents,
and particularly Senators Burrom-s and
Dubois, are now aware that they have
not votes enough to pry him loose from
his seat.

Proportion or Forest Reserve Rev
enue Goes for Schools and Roads.
ORECJONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. May 22. The agricultural appro
priation bill reported to the Senate to
day carries Senator Fulton's amendment
providing that 10 per cent of the money
received from the sale of timber and
other privileges in forest reserves shall
be given to the states In which the re
serves are located, to be applied by them
to public schools and roads In those
counties which are embraced in part by
such reserves, expenditures to be made
by direction of the State Legislature.
When a reserve lies across a state line
both states are to benefit proportionately.
The bill also provides that the remain
ing 90 per cent of the receipts from for
est reserves shall hereafter be expend
ed by direction of Congress. Heretofore
this money has been placed In the hands
of the Secretary of Agriculture to ex
pend as he saw fit. The total appropria
tion for the Forest Reserve Is $1,000,000,
the same as last year.

REB'ATE ON EXPORT RATES
Trial of Burlington Officials Begins,
Judge Denying Demurrer.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 22. The trial
of George H. Crosby, former assistant
traffic manager of the Burlington rail
road: George L. Thomas, a freight
broker of New York City, and his chief
clerk. L. B. Taggart, who are under in
dictment for alleged conspiracy in secur
ing rebates for shippers, began In the
federal court here today with Judge
Smith McPherson on the bench. The aft
ernoon session was taken up with pre
liminary motions, the selection of a Jury
and the reading of the indictment by the
United States Attorney. Court ad
journed until tomorrow.
Judge McPherson overruled the de
murrer of the Burlington Railway to In
dictments against that company, and they
must now go to trial. The defendants.
In a demurrer filed several weeks ago,
contended that Congress was without
power to enact legislation regulating ex
port rates, tn the giving of alleged re
bates on which the Burlington was
charged with having violated the inter
state commerce act. Judge MoPherson
said In denying the demurrer:
"The Import case (162 U. S., 197) was one
concerning the ocean rates from New Or
leans to San Francisco by rail, and ap
plying the holding of that case to the
one at bar. why should the statute not
cover exports trom Kansas City to New
York City, even though the purpose is
evidenced by contract by a single and
through bill of lading, and the iHirpose is
to at once place the product on an ocean
vessel destined to an fcJuropean country?'
"It Is apparent to nuiny. and the Com
mission so recognises, that by many it
Is believed that to bring all export ship
ments under this statute will work Injury
no the Pacific Coast and to the South in
exports of cotton, and that the same Is
true as to the graingrowing and cattle
raising industry of the West: If it said
that the right of contract therefore be
denied, the answer Is that no one provis
ion of the Constitution must be subordi
nated to another, and full force and ef
fect can be given to both by enforcing
