HOUSE REJECTS
" " SIMPLE SPELLING
Insists That Dictionaries Shall
Rule in Public Docu- ,
ments.
THEN BEGINS USING SLANG
Championing Old-Style Orthography
by Great Majority, Members Say
"Skldoo" and Quote Mys
tic Xumbcr "23.'
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. The House of
Representatives today went on record in
'opposition to the new spelling as recom
' mended by the President. By a vote ot
.142 to 25 the following was adopted as a
substitute for the item reported by the
appropriations committee in the execu
tive, legislative and Judicial appropria
tion bill:
No money appropriated in this act shall be
used In connection -with printing documents
authorized by law or ordered by Congress or
any branch thereof, unless the same shall con
form to the orthography recognized and used
by dictionaries of the English language.
Kor hours today the debate on simpli
fied spelling held the attention of the
House and a score or more members took
part. C'rumpacker, of Indiana, made a
point ot order against the paragraph in
the bill which provides that documents
ahall be spelled as Webster's or other
trenerally accepted dictionaries spell them.
This provision was held to change ex
isting law and the point of order was
sustained.
Bingham, of Pennsylvania, in charge
of the bill, then offered the amendment
quoted, which was adopted.
Might Change Whole Language.
During the. discussion Sullivan, of Mas
sachusetts, remarked that if the.Presi
dent "by imperial ukase" could change
the spelling of 300 words of the English
language he would have the authority to
change 3000 words, or every word In pur
language. If this could be done he
thought a new court language might be,
established by executive decree for the
new American empire.
Iacey, of Iowa, thought the paragraph
as originally reported should remain in
the bill. He said the new words were
offensive to the eye, but "perchance by
constant association we might get used
to them."
Let Literature Start Reform.
"To put them by executive order Into
the laws of the land before they have
reached literature," remarked Lacey, "is
getting the tiling wrong-end foremost.
Literature comes first; orthography after
ward." While Grosvenor was discussing the
amendment Towne, of New York, asked
him whether the item referred to was
not "on page 23, beginning with line 23."
"Yes, I believe so," replied Grosvenor.
"Then it Is without doubt skidoo and,
if so, does It not of necessity go out?"
"Oh that's an old story," replied Gros
venor amid laughter.
SOMEBODY MIXED BOTTLES
Taft's Explanation of Death of Ten
Manila Trisoners.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The Senate
today agreed to a resolution presented
by Gallinger, directing the Secretary of
AVar to inform the Senate regarding the
details of alleged experiments with a
cholera virus by Army Surgeon Strong
at Manila. Special inquiry is made as
to whether such experiments resulted in
the death of 10 or more persons; whether
these persons were previously notified of
the dangerous and possibly fatal char
acter of these experiments; whether any
of these persons were natives of the
Vnitod States, and who is responsible for
the experiments.
Later in the day. Secretary Taft made
answer to the Gallinger resolution.
The Secretary calls attention to the
fact that Dr. Richard P. Strong, while
at one time a surgeon in the army, is
at present out of the service, and is at
the head of the Biological Laboratory
at Manila. He has achieved some re
markable discoveries with reference to
tholera serum and has used it with
success on various occasions. In ad
ministering it. however, to some in
mates of Bllibid prison, without resist
ance on their part, a bottle of bubonic
plague serum was substituted for a
bottle of cholera serum, with the re
sult that the -persons to whom it was
administered died. A thorough inves
tigation is now being made of the
causes of the accident, and the com
mission has taken steps to take care of
the families of the deceased. The Sec
retary says:
"It is an occasion for regret and will
doubtless Insure greater precautions in
the administration of such dangerous
agencies."
Governor Smith, in his cabled report,
says it is believed the plague culture
became mixed with the anti-cholera
serum through the misplacement of one
of the bottles by a visitor, and that
under his direction a close inquiry is
being' made to ascertain the exact na
ture of the precautions being taken to
prevent such accidents.

Have Three Others Arrested.
Arthur E. Velguth brother of Bernard
O. Velguth, defaulting clerk of the Port
land Gas Company and John R. Oatman,
a lawyer, appeared at the police station
about 8 o'clock last night and swore out
warrants for three men whom they
claimed insulted and afterwards assaulted
them while on the way to the Oaks
skating rink. Oatman has a black eye.
Captain Slover sent Sergeant Baty and
Acting Detective Kienlen to bring the
men in and found them without trouble.
The trio strenuously denied having as
saulted Velguth and Oatman, but sub
mitted quietly to arrest and accompanied
the officers to the etation. They gave
their names as Joseph Fay, W. A. Rey
nolds and Ben Henderson.
The prisoners charge the complainants
with addressing abusive remarks
toward them ail while riding to the Oaks
from the city. They say that wVen their
destination was reached they ordered the
two "dudes," as they referred to them,
to move along and not bother them any
more. They paid no heed to this warning
and when, the trio threatened them they
turned and ran, and in their haste to get
away, it is alleged that Oatman ran into
a fence blacking his eye. The trio ap
peared to have been drinking.
The man who gave his name as Fay
whs forced to admit that it was an alias
for when Clerk Hennessy secured bonds
lor their release his name on the docu
ment did not correspond with the one he
had given Captain Slover and he had to
rectify the mistake before he could be
released with his companions. His cor
rect name is Busby and he is a candidate
for a position on the police force.

MR. AND MRS. CALEB W. CCRT
ALBANY, Or., Dec. 12. (Special.) The death of Margaret E. Curl at
-Grass Valley, Sherman County, the first of this month removes another of the
early pioneers of Oregon from the roll. Mrs. Curl and her husband, Caleb
W. Curl, whose pictures appear herewith, were among those who crossed the
plains In an emigrant train in 1S47. They came in one of the very large
trains that crossed in those times, being In the party that Included the Ap
plegates, Hunfiakere, Millers and others who have been identified with the de
velopment of Oregon. Mr. Curl died in June, 1003, at Grass Valley.
Caleb W. Curl was a native ot Missouri, born in Carroll County, October
31, 1SJ0. Margaret E. Fulkerson was also born In Missouri, in Oddoway
County, June 4,' 1831. Both Mr. Curl and Miss Fulkerson were in the train
that crossed In 1S47, and during the hardships that were encountered in
the long trip which was begun In January, iu the height of the Winter sea
son, began a romantic acquaintance that culminated In their marriage in
Polk County, Oregon, in .March, 1850, three years later.
Mr. Curl located near Oregon City upon his- arrival in the Oregon Coun
try, but after spending a short time there came to Linn County, near Scio.
Mits Fulkerson, with her parents, went directly to Polk County, where
she resided until her marriage with Mr. Curl in 1S50. The couple then took
up a donation land claim near Sclo. in Linn County, where they lived until
: 1885, when they removed to Sherman County. They resided in Sherman
County the remainder of their days. Both were of the strong character
that marked the early pioneers, and were identified with the development
of the community in which they lived. They reared a large family, 11 children
hating been born of the union, seven of whom survive. Considerable prop
erty was amassed by the pioneer couple. The surviving members of this pio
neer family are: J. W. Curl, of Grass Valley; K. H. Curl, of Albany; Sarah
A. Lane, of Portland; D. H. Curl, of Lebanon; A. M. Curl, of Wetser, Idaho;
L. il. Curl, of Albany, and Maggie M. Heath, of Grass Valley.

Bonaparte, of Maryland, to be Attorney-General;
Victor H. Metcalf. of Cali
fornia, to be Secretary o,f the Navy,
and Oscar S. Straus, of New York, to
be Secretary of Commerce and Labor.
The opposition to Messrs. Moody and
Bonapare, which had been raised in
the Senate by a number of Democratic
Senators, "was not strongly pressed
at the session today, and no rollcall
was asked for. On j the viva voce vote
for Mr. Bonaparte, however, there were
a number of negative votes on the
minority side, estimated at about 15.
Culberson and Carmack led the dis
cussion against both Mr. Moody and
Mr. Bonaparte. There was no opposi
tion to either Mr. Metcalf or Mr. Straus.
Mr. Moody will be sworn in as Assoc!-'"
ate Justice of the Supreme Court on
December 24. The other Cabinet changes
consequent upon the retirement of Mr.
Moody will follow on the same day. Sec

"It is the present intention to have Mr.
Cortelyou take charge of the Treasury
Department on March 4." said Senator
Aldrich, who talked with the President
today about Mr. Cortelyou's nomination
to be Secretary of the Treasury, which
was held up by the Senate finance com
mittee yesterday, because no date was
specified as to when the appointment
would become effective.
It has been customary heretofore, the
Senator said, to specifically indicate the
date upon which such appointments are
to take effect, and its omission in the
present case apparently" was an over
sight. So far as he was aware, the Sen
ator said, there is no objection to Mr.
Cortelyou's confirmation nor to others
now pending.

Senator Aldrich and ilie President, the
nominations of Mr. Von L. Meyer to be

SHOULD BOLD OWN WARSHIPS
Admiral Capps Says Government Has
Proved Ability. , ,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. The ability ot
the Government Navy-yard to turn out
warships equal in all respects to those
built under contract, in the opinion of
Rear-Admiral Capps. of the Bureau ,of
Construction of the Navy, In his annual
report, has been fully demonstrated. He
urges that at least one yard on the Pa
cific Coast, and one on the Atlantic
Coast, when practicable should be given
a reasonable proportion of new construc
tion work in order that such yards may
always be available for any work the
Government may desire to undertake
therein.
Admiral Capps admits that it costs less
to build a warship by contract by reason
of the shorter hours ot labor, paid holi
days, vacations, etc., granted to Navy
yard employes, but he believes neverthe
less that the Government should be al
ways prepared to turn out its own ships
in times of emergency. The lack ot
suitable docking facilities at Norfolk and
Mare Island is commented upon as being
especially embarrassing to the bureau
as no battleships of any class can be
docked at either of those yards.
The appointment of a special board to
consider matters relating to the personnel
of the Corps of Naval Constructors, the
report says, is in contemplation.
The excessive amount of work devolv
ing upon the bureau. Admiral Capps adds,
combined with its limited number of of
ficers, has resulted in the gradual im
pairment of the vitality and in some in
stances, complete breakdown ot officers
whose services were especially valuable.
The report speaks at length of the
work on new and old vessels during the
past year, and states that preliminary
work has begun upon the designs of the
20.000-ton battleship authorized at the
last session of Congress.
Admiral Capps doubts the expediency
of repairs to warships on foreign stations
and says that both economy and effi
ciency will result from carrying out all
large repairs and overhaulings of naval
vessels in Navy-yards ,within the conti
nental limits of the United States where
ever practicable.

House Committee Will Draft
Leasing Bill.
COLLECT EVIDENCE FIRST
Form of Bill to Be Determined After
Hearings Critics of Coal Land
Withdrawal Answered
by Majority.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. -Wash
ington, Dec. 12. The House commit
tee on public lands will begin a series
of hearings next Monday on the propo
sition to repeal the coal-land law and
substitute a law along the lines sug
gested by the President in his message.
The committee is agreed that the pres
ent law must be changed, but it is not
satisfied as to the best form of sub
stitute. Representatives of the Geological
Survey and the Interior Department
will be heard, together with any one
else interested, and it is probable that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
will also make suggestions based upon
the investigations cacently made in
Utah. Wyoming and Colorado. The ex
pectation is that some bill will be
framed directing that title to coal land
shall rest in the Government, and that
coal be developed under the leasing or
royalty system.
There was some criticism today of
the extensive withdrawals of coal
lands, it being contended that there is
no law giving the President authority
to withdraw this land from entry. The
majority of the committee, however,
defended the action of the President
on the ground that . he had made
the withdrawals in order to prevent
monopoly of coal land in the West, and
was acting entirely in the public in
terest.
Strong efforts will be made to se
cure the enactment of coal land legis
lation this session.

An attack was also made on the grand

stantly' Stopped.
Sample Package Mailed Free.
Other people notice your bad breath
where you would not notice it at all.
It is nauseating to other people to
stand before them and while you are
talking, give them a whiff or two of
your bad breath. It usually comes from
food fermenting on your stomach.
Sometimes you have It in the morning
that awful our, bilious, bad breath.
You can stop that at once by swallow
ing one or two Stuart Charcoal Lozenges,
the most powerful gas and odor ab
sorbers ever prepared.

themselves in your breath to those who

fresh, and besides your food will taste

meal. Just try It.
Charcoal .does other wonderful
things, too. It carries away from your
stomach and intestines, all the impuri
ties there massed together and which
causes the bad breath. Charcoal is a
purifier as well as an absorber.
Charcoal is now by far the best, most
easy and mild laxative known. A
whole boxful will do no harm; in fact,
