WASHINGTON, Aug.- 29.-Special.)
Application for a receivership to prevent
the consummation of a merger of the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Rail
roads under the domination of one man
is a possibility in the legal campaign Attorney-General
Bonaparte is planning
against the railroad operations of E. H.
Harriman. Announcement of the Gov
ernment's purpose with regard to the
transportation combinations effected by
Mr. Harriman is expected- at an early
day.
Since the abrogation of the San Pedro
and Alton contracts, the control of the
8outhern Pacific by the Union Pacific has
been left the only favorable target of
attack.
LEGALIZE POOLS ON RAILROADS'
Shippers League Favors Amendment
to Sherman Law.
CHICAGO. Aug. 29. (Special.) Amend
ment of the Sherman anti-trust law so
as to permit associations of common car
riers in a given territory to effect agree
ments for the establishment of rates and
, classifications under the supervision of
the Interstate Commerce. Commission was
urged by the National industrial Traffic
League, representing 40.000 shippers, at its
meeting here today. The league also wentx
on record as favoring the addition to the
Interstate Commerce Commission of a
practical railroad man and a. member
p familiar with commercial affairs.
Suggestions for the modification of cer
tain rulings of the Commission, which
were declared to be prejudicial to the
Industrial Interests of the country, will be
presented to the Commission later by a
special committee. Among these was one
looking to relief of the shipper from re
sponsibility for the acceptance of illegal
rates.
The committee in presenting Its report
asking for the amendment of the Sher
man law, sanctioned its action by point
ing to press accounts of President Roose
velt's attitude, indicating that the Ad
ministration favors such modification as
will allow the railroads in a common ter
ritory to adjust rates and classifications
under supervision.

SAYS WEST NOT WORRYING
Does Not Know Wall Street, Says
Secretary Wilson.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 29. (Special.)
Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson
returned to Washington today after an
absence of several weeks In the West,
bringing glowing accounts from that
section of the country.
"The West is not worrying over future
panics or hard times. but Is sending
money to the East right now." he said.
"The people out there do not know Wajl
street exists except as they read about
It In the newspapprs. The grain crops
are generally good this year, and less
Western money is going into Canada
than last year. There Is some fear of
another coal famine during the coming
Winter."
Speaking of politics, Mr. Wilson said:
"Everybody 1 talked to out West was
favorable to Roosevelt, and will Insist
upon the nomination and election next
year of a man who will carry out his
policies."
MARRIAGES NOT ANNULLED
Archbishop Denies Sensational Ac
tion by Vatican Authorities.
MILWAUKEE. Wis.. Aug. 29. (Spe
cial.) Archbishop Mrssmer said to
day that he believed the dispatch
said to have been sent from Rome,
saying that under a new edict, to be
announced soon. all 'marriages of
American Catholics before a Justice of
the Peace or a Protestant minister
would be regarded by the church as
null and void, to be a fake.
"I believe It to be a fake dispatch,
because I have heard nothing of any
such contemplated action," said the
Archbishop. "On general principles I
do not believe that Rome would take
so radical a step without consulting
the Bishops in this country. It would
be most extraordinary. This rule holds
In countries where the provisions of
the Council of Trent have been pro
mulgated. This has not been done in
the United States, except in a few
rtlaces that were originally Catholic, as
St. Louis and some parts of California."
TACOMANS ARE UP IN ARMS
Feelings Hurt Because Navy Depart
ment Says Harbor Is Too Deep.
TACOMA. Wash., Aug. 29. Congress
man Francis W. Cushnian tdday sent ihe
following dispatch to the Secretary of the
Navy at Washington:
"A press dispatch purporting to come
from Washington City today states that
when the battleship fleet visits Puget
Sound it will anchor and make its head
quarters opposite Seattle. The dispatch
further states that naval officers study
ing charts of Tacoma harbor decided that
the water is too deep to permit a safe
anchorage for battleships, which carry
comparatively short cables.
"There is anchorage in Tacoma harbor
for at least 20 battleships from 15 to 23
fathoms. There is no (Objection by
Tacoma citizens to the fleet going to Scat
tie or any other place desired, but they
are greatly incensed at the purported
dispatch giving such a false and ma
licious statement regarding Tacoma har
bor. Would be grateful for a denial or
retraction of so much of the press dis
patch as states there is no suitable
anchorage in Tacoma harbor. This is
important. Please answer."
Tacomans are up In arms against the
Navy Department for rescinding its or
ders for battleships to visit Tacoma on
account of the depth of the liaroor, as
reported last night in a dispatch from
Washington.
Telegrams have been flying to Wash
ington City in rapid succession since
early morning. Congressman Cushman
sent the' first wire, directed to Victor H.
Metcalf, Secretary of the Navy, and ask
ing by whose authority the press dis
patch was sent this morning. The presi
dent of the Chamber of Commerce held a
lengthy consultation over the telephone
with some of the best informed water
front men. It was desired that a meet
ing with Congressman Cushman. Cap
tain Burley, Jr., and Harbormaster
Mountfort should be held and some de
cisive action taken, and that the Wash
ington authorities be furnished with sta
tistics and data giving concrete facts re
garding Tacoma's harbor.
Congressman Cushman believes that the
dispatch did not originate with anyone in
authority. In the War Department and
the Navy Department he says there are
vast numbers of minor officials, and it
is likely that one of these men gave out
the statement in regard to Tacoma har
bor. BUYING COAL FOR WARSHIPS
Government Needs 125,000 Tons
for Voyage to Pacific.
NEW YORK. Aug. 29. An order for
36.000 tons of coal, to be distributed along
the route of the battleship fleet from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Coast, was re
ported today to have tieen given to four
New York coal firms by the Government.
It was stated that 125,000 tons of coal
will be needed to carry the fleet to the
Pacific and five shipments to ports where
the warships will call are already under
way.
Make Arbitration Optional.
THE HAGUE. Aug. 29. The British

furnishes, as may arise between it
and such other nations as the signatory

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug;. 29. The task
of showing- that the Pacific States Tele
phone & Telegraph Company in 1D0S
sought to prevent the entrance into Oak
land of the Home Telephone Company
by organizing a "straw" Home Telephone
Company and obtaining for It a fran
chise was resumed at the continuation
of the Glass bribery trial today. William
A. Beasly, an attorney of San Jose, tes
tified that he had bid in the franchise
and furnished a surety bond of 12500 to
the Oakland Council, and . then had
signed and delivered through Haisey all
of his stock holdings in the "straw" com
pany to E. J. Zlmmer, who at that time
was auditor of the Pacific States Tele
phone & Telegraph Company. Subse
quently the scheme was abandoned and
Zlmmer went to the clerk of the Oak
land Council and caused the franchise to
be forfeited and the bond released. He
received for his services J1O0 a month
and about $11,000 for expenses.
Delmas Draws Out Contradiction.
Delmas elicited from the witness the
statement that the legal papers connected
with the attempts of the telephone com:
pany to suppress opposition had been
prepared by the legal department of the
company, presided over by Mr.' Pills
bury, who on the stand swore that this

HOUSE COMMITTEE HOSTILE
Cannon Would Appoint Standpatters
and Aldrlch Would Block Bill in
the Senate Only Pressure
Could Pass the Bill.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 29. In view of what has
been Bald by Secretary Taft and "by
other prominent Republicans, it may be
set down for a fact that tlpre will be no
serious attempt at tariff revision in the
coming Congress. Tariff bills may be In
troduced, but the men introducing thera
will have no expectation of seeing them
passed. There may be some tariff
speeches Intended for home consumption,
but the ways and means committee of
the House and finance committee of the
Senate will not give consideration to
tariff legislation.
It Is generally assumed that the Co
lumbus speech of Mr. Taft was In the
nature of an authorized declaration of
administration policies. The War Secre
tary conferred with the President and
prominent administration leaders prior to
delivering that speech, and it is gen
erally believed that the speech was gone
over in the presence of the President and
his closest advisers. That speech con
veyed the Impression that the adminis
tration would not undertake to , force
tariff legislation next Winter, but would'
bo content to let the subject rest until
the new administration, when a special
session of Congress could be called for
the express purpose of revising the tariff.
Reaonn for Postponement.
Experience has taught that it Is dan
gerous to the party in power to revise
the tariff Just before a Presidential cam
paign. A change In the tariff, no matter
how badly it may be needed, always upr
sets business, and when business is dis
turbed the party in power is held respon
sible and feels the effects at the polls.
So it would be with the Republican
party, if there should be a revision at the
session next Winter.
But there are other reasons why there
will be no tariff revision next Winter;
Tariff legislation must originate in the
House of Representatives, and before the
House can pass upon a tariff bill it must
be formulated and reported by the com
mittee on ways and means. That com
mittee, as now constituted, is opposed to
any modification In the Dingley law, and
Speaker Cannon, who will have the en
tire say in reorganizing the committee, if
he is re-elected Speaker, Is bitterly op
posed to revision at the present time. Mr.
Cannon is sure of re-election, therefore
there is sure to be a ways and means
committee that will not report a tariff
bill. Tariff legislation is therefore en
tirely in the hands of the 18 men com
prising this committee.
It is to be noted that this committee
in the last Congress consisted of 12 Re
publicans and six Democrats. The
Democrats were not in favor of
Joining the Republican tariff re
formers at the last session in
order to get a bill before tne House,
knowing that the credit for any reviBion,
could it have been brought about, would
have gone to the dominant party. It is
to be presumed that the Democratic
members of the new committee will take
the same position. But it is not likely
that the Democrats will be consulted, for
Mr. Cannon will have power so to re
organize the committee as to guarantee a
safe majority against revision something
hecan readily do so long as the Repub
licans have a majority of six on the com
mittee. "
House Committee Hostile.
If Mr. Cannon follows precedent he will
reappoint the old members of the ways
and means committee who are members
of tho new House. But even if he does
that he will have five Republican vacan
cies" to fill, and he will experience no
difficulty In finding five Republicans who
will stand with him on the tariff ques
tion. Messrs. Grosvenor of Ohio. Mc
Cleary of Minnesota. Babcock of Wis
consin. Curtis of Kansas and Smith of
Michigan, who held places on the ways
and means committee, will not be mem
bers of the next House, the two latter
having been promoted to the Senate the
others retired from Congress. Assuming
that Mr. Cannon fills these places with
Republicans opposed to revision, he can
bank on the hearty support of Chairman
Payne, of New York, Representative Dal
zell, the Steel Trust representative from
Pittsburg and the most pronounced op
ponent of tariff revision in the House, in
addition to Messrs. Watson of Indiana,
Boutell of Illinois and Hill of Connecti
cut. That would give him ten men surely
opposed to revision, and If ho deemed It
necessary he could replace Mr. McCall.
of Massachusetts, and Mr. Necdham, of
California, with men who agreed with
him on the tariff, though this will not
be necessary.
From this It is apparent that there is
little prospect of tariff legislation in the
next Congress, disregarding the attitude
of the Administration, assuming, of
course, that Mr. Cannon Is re-elected
Speaker.
Aldrlch Is Lion In Path.
But for purposes of speculation as
sume that a tariff bill should be reported
and pass the House. It would tie Imme
diately referred to the Senate committee
on finance. Who Is the chairman of
that committee? Mr. Aldrlch. of Rhode
Island, relative of John D. Rockefeller,
and generally looked upon as the leading
corporation representative In Congress.
Moreover, Mr. Aldrlch occupies the po
sition of "boss" of the Senate, notwith
standing revolts that have- been brought
about to unseat him, and experience has
demonstrated that Mr. Aldrlch usually
gets what he wants In the line of legis
lation In which his best friends arc in
terested. Associated with Mr. Aldrlch are Sena
tors Allison of Iowa, Burrows of Michi
gan, Piatt of New York, Hansbrough of
North Dakota, Penrose of Pennsylvania
and Hale of Maine. There is one Repub
lican vacancy caused by the retirement of
Senator Spooner, and the presumption is
that this vacancy will go to Senator
Crane, of Massachusetts, who will train
with Mr. Aldrich on tariff legislation,
f Out of this number Mr. Allison is the
only Senator who would consistently vote
for tariff revision, and he might vote for
revision at the next session, because of
the political effect It would have. Mr.
Hansbrough comes from a state that
wants the tariff revised, but his hearing
is not always the best, and at times he
has been unable to understand the pop
ular cry that has gone up In North Da
kota, The Republicans have a majority
of three on the finance committee, and
with a stand-patter in place of Mr.
Spooner. tariff revision would be out of
the question.
Might Force Revision Through.
If the Administration believed that
tariff revision should be undertaken next
Winter and should bring to bear the
same influence that forced through the
Hepburn rate law the outlook might be
different. To begin with, the President
might let It be known that the election
of a new Speaker was desirable. Ad
ministration influence might be brought
to bear to secure the election of Repre
sentative Burton, of Ohio, or Representa
tive Tawney, of Minnesota, or some other
strong man who believes in revision. That
Influence would be very apt to defeat
Mr. Cannon, and in that event the new
Speaker would . be privileged to recon
struct the ways and means committee
from top to bottom, ana insure an or
ganization that would not only report,
but pass a tariff bill through the House.
The real struggle, as with the rate hill,
would come In the Senate, and. In order
to secure favorable action, the Adminis
tration would have to get the coopera
tion of the entire Democratic member
ship of the finance committee and have
at least two Republican votes. The vote
of Mr. Allison would be forthcoming, and
the Administration would then have to
win over one more Senator, in which
event either Mr. Hansbrough or Mr. Bur
rows would be the man to yield. But a
tariff bill reported to the Senate Is a
long way from passed, and any measure
that could get through that body over
the protest of Mr. Aldrich and the
mighty body of Senators who are loyal
to him would be far from the kind of
legislation the country or the Adminis
tration would want.
However Mr. Taft" has Indicated that
the administration will not make a fight
for tariff revision In the coming session,
and it is therefore a certainty that the
Dingley law will stand for at least an
other year. Without Presidential inter
ference there will be no revision so long
as conditions in, Congress remain unchanged.

Machine School Superintendent

Pittsburg Institute.
PITTSBURG, Pa-. Aug. 29. (Special.)
United States Senator R. M. La Follette,
of Wisconsin, had a clash with the offi
cials of the Allegheny County TeacherB'
Institute here this afternoon. Mr.
La Follette was engaged to deliver an
address to the teachers on "Representa
tive Government." Prior to starting his
speech. County Superintendent Samuel
Hamilton told the Senator that he could
not discuss partisan politics. In opening
his speech Mr. La Follette said:
"I have been warned not to be partisan
in my speech here, but I want to say to
the Superintendent and tho county offi
cials Just what I think."
Mr. Hamilton here arose and told Mr.
La Follette that the institute was no
place for partisan politics and that he
would have to confine himself to a gen
eral discourse. For about an hour tho
Senator talked, ' and then he began to
tell the teachers about how the Pennsyl
vania Senators had voted on his amend
ments to the railroad rate bill. Mr.
Hamilton was on his feet In an instant
and declared that the Senator must cease.
"Go ahead," came cries from all over
the house. After order had teen restored,
Mr. La Follette informed tho audience
that he would have to comply with tho
wishes of the Superintendent, but, if
there were any persons present who .
wished to hear what h had to say, tm
was willing to talk. The audience of 1600
people then left tho hall, followed by Mr.
La Follette, who took up his position
on the steps of the Carnegie Music Hall,
where the institute was being held.
There for two hours, until almost 7
o'clock, Mr. La Follette talked as ho
pleased, amid tho wild shouts of approval
of the audience.
WHOLE WEST FOR ROOSEVELT
Warren Says It Would Nominate
Him With Whoop.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 29. (Special.)
"Sixty per cent of the voters of Wyoming
refuse to consider any other candidate
for the Presidency until they have been
forced to abandon all hope that President
Roosevelt will not accept the renomina
tion," said Senator Warren, of Wyoming,
who is in Washington on his way to New
York, whence he will sail Saturday fot
Europe.
"The President .is as popular in my
state and the West generally as he ever
was. Some have differed with his land
policies, but even they prefer him to any
one else. However, it is too early to talk
about what Wyoming will do in the next
Republican National convention. The
delegation is small and does not have to
answer until far down the roll call.
"If at the last minute any intimation
should come from the President that ho
would accept a renomination, the West
would fight to get under his standard,
and he would be renominated with a
whoop that would take the roof off the
convention hall. With the mass of peo
ple of the West, the farmers, tiaders and
working classes generally, the President's
popularity is greater than ever.
"In the financial district of New York,
and perhaps in the similar district of Chi
cago, the desire for the President's re
nomination may not be so great, but
nearly everywhere else throughout the
country his aggressive qualities meet
with the same approval as formerly. The
people approve of his policy toward tha
big corporations."
