HAS BOUT WITH ILLIN01SAN Informs Mann Washington Can Reg ulate Charges of Power Com panies Burleson Praises For aker Against Roosevelt. WASHINGTON, Jn. 10. The House of Representatives today resumed H9 activity and for over five hours trans acted business of a public nature. Ma terial progress was made with the bill to codify, revise and amend the criminal laws of the United States, which was taken up after some routine bills had been disposed of. The feature of the session was a brief address by Burleson, of Texas, who cred ited Senator Poraker and other Repub licans with having charged the President with the responeiblUty for the recent financial panic The House adjourned at 5:12 P. M. un til tomorrow, after an effort had been made by the Democrats for consideration of the code bill. Jones Becomes Storm Center. The House of Representatives took on its old-time form when Jones, of Wash ington, called up the bill authorizing; the Kenton Water Company to construct a dam across Snake River at Five-mile Rapids, Wash. The bill elicited a sharp debate and members crowded Into the center aisle anxious to be heard. The point of difference was whether the General Government has the right to fix the charges for electric light and power furnished by the company. The' contention that It has such power was ad vanced by Mnnn, of Illinois, and was vig orously assailed by Jones, who argued that it was not to be supposed that the State of Washington would not so regu late the charges made as to prevent ex tortion. After the House had divided several times, the bill was passed. Inquiry Into Bank Deposits. The House today adopted a resolution railing on the Secretary of the Treasury for information concerning the total num ber of National banks In operation August 22. 1907, and December S, 190?. the total amount of capital etock and unimpaired surplus of such banks at each of such dates: the total amount of public money In each on October 1, 1907.

Reorganizing the Militia. The Joint resolution extending to Jan uary 21. 1910, the time allowed militia companies In which to conform their or ganisation, armament and discipline to that prescribed for the regular forces of the United States, was adopted by the House today.

Until the conformation -of the mllltla t the regular Army system is completed more can oe no participation by the de linquent states in the increased FeiWui appropriation for military Improvement. j. ne report or tne committee recommend ing the adoption of the resolution, re cites that Idaho, Massachusetts and South Dakota already have conformed; that Arkansas. Indiana, Mississippi, New Mex ico, Oregon. Tennessee, Alaska and Lou isiana lack state legislation enabling them to conform; that Kentucky, Texas, Utah, and the District of Columbia report non eomformity, and that 22 states and terri tories have failed to take official notice of the opportunity to conform. The combined militia organizations of the United States now number 160,000 of ficers. Information in the hands of the committee is that the several states and territories appropriated for military pur poses In 1907 the sum of $4,991,899. Will Be Confirmed by Senate. WASHINGTON.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 10. Adjutant-General Flnzer, of the Oregon National Guard, had another conference at the War Department today and secured assur ances from Assistant Secretary Oliver that the entire Oregon National Guard should participate In Joint maneuvers at American . Lake the coming Summer. He told General Oliver there was no objection to Bend ing infantry companies to seacoast defenses every alternate year, but there was objection to giving them seacoast duty every Summer. The plan of alternating is perfectly ac ceptable to the Department. General Finzer spent some time at the capitol today conferring with Rep resentative Hawley regarding; the necessary appropriation for equipping militia companies which may here after be recruited for seacoast artillery service. Mr. Hawley la favorable to such legislation and promises to give it his support. General Finzer is also urging that Congress make an appropriation for the purchase of a rifle range near Portland for the use of the Oregon Na tional Guard. He says a suitable site can be found near Montavllla, which can be had for J50.000. ESTIMATE TOO L Canal Expected to Cost Near .ly $200,000,000. SOME EXPENSES OMITTED Sanitation, Zone Government, Wid ening of Locks and Higher Cost of Irftbor Cause Largo in crease in the Figures. WASHINGTON." Jan. 10. Because of changed conditions from those existing in 1905, when the minority of the board of consulting' engineers of the Panama Canal submitted its report, it is now ad mitted in responsible quarters that the estimate made by that report for build ing the canal was far too low and that the cost may approximate J200.000,000.' This Includes various Incidental items, such as administration, sanitation and im provements aggregating several millions of dollars In Panama and Colon, which, however, will be refunded by the Panama government, and the expenses of the zone government and various expenses inci dental to the relocation and acquisition of the Panama Railroad. The estimate of the board in 1905 Was that the cost of the canal would be $139, 765.200, but this estimate did not include expenses on account of Interest during construction, sanitation and zone gov ernment. Since last Spring, when the Commission, after some general esti mates, placed the probable' cost of the work at anywhere between $210,000,000 and $260,000,000, the more conservative mem bers have found that a considerable sav ing can be made, and they now feel war ranted in placing the estimated cost at nearer $200,000,000 than a higher figure. Various reasons are assigned for the Increased cost, including wider and longer locks than those proposed by the board of engineers, a greater quantity of ex cavation than that estimated by the board, an increase in unit prices and higher prices for labor than those thought adequate by the board. That board estimated the locks would cost less than $40,000,000, while the present Com mission thinks the cost will be between $50,000,000 and $90,000,00, with a still greater Increase of 10 per cent if the locks are farther widened, as proposed by the Navy Department. ATTACK FORESTRY POLICY Coming Dry Farming Congress Has Programme Outlined. SALT LAKE, Jan. 10.

EAGLES0N WILL NOT QUIT Request for Resignation From Gar field Will Be Ignored. BOISB. Idaho, Jan. 10. (Special.) Surveyor-General Eagleson today received a letter from Secretary Garfield requesting his resignation by order of the President. The letter is brief and shows apparently that the former charges of incompetency and of being a disturbing element have been withdrawn, and a new charge of criticising inspectors of his office was made and his resignation ordered on that ground. Mr. Eagleson states that he knows of no unjust criticism he made of the In spectors, and will therefore ' respectfully decline to hand in his resignation. In his reply to the former charges he sub mitted data relating to this oftice as com pared with others of its kind in the In terior Department, which showed that the output was twice as much per man as it had ever been before or is now being done in any other office in the country. The data submitted, he says, completely repudiate the allegations made by the Inspector relative to his incompetency and organizing ability. EUGENE SEMPLE SICK MAN Ex-Oregon Politician and Newspaper Man Not Expected to Live. SEATTLE!, Wash., Jan. 10. (Special.)

SPEAKS ON CREDIT PANIC Incidentally Grills the President as the Cause and Says His "Callow . Touthfulness of Development" Dangerous When Let Loose. , KINGSTON, N. T., Jan. 10. Before an assemblage of political associates of his home county of Ulster, ex-Chief Judge Alton B. Parker, of the Court of Ap peals, Democratic candidate for the Presi dency in 1904, spoke tonight of the causes of the recent "credit panic." and of what he considered the dangers of putting "un tutored idealism" in charge of the Na tion's affairs. The occasion was a din ner given by four score or piore of Ulster County Democrats at which Judge Parker was the guest of honor. Judge Parker spoke in part as follows: Judge Parker's Address. We are all members one of another. Oregon and Maine are linked together, if only by so humble a bond as the pine forests and great apple crops. Florida would be no stranger, whether she found herself seated under the sacred codfish that hangs , in the hall on Beacon street, or sat in a Califor nia orange grove. Pittsburg and St. Louis may interchangeably accept their respective symbolic "Roosevelt currency' emblems simultaneously Is sued under the stress of the great "credit" panic. And here. Incidentally, we can for at least one thing thank our present Chief Executive. He has bound us in dlssolubly together.- He has taught us that untutored idealism that ordi narily is not uninterrupted by experi ence, that callow youthfulness of de velopment, become dangerous when let loose on an entire community. .General Conditions Excellent. What is wrong with our financial condition? Can any one say that we are on an unsound financial basis? What Is at fault with general mercan tile conditions? They are excellent. What visible rdanger threatens our prosperity? None, so -far as we can determine. Whence, then, this ab normal situation, which has startled the world and reacted upon every European financial center? The answer is to be found in the simple fact .that there has been a determined attack upon property as such. Our actual wealth today staggers the belief of the world. Yet a great unknown, undefined, dreaded fear that we shell none of us be allowed to re tain the results of our toil, but that In a renewed exploitation of theories, theories financial, theories govern mental, theories economic, we shall see the wreck of industry, the paraly zatlon of fortune, the destruction of the value of the investment of our savings, has taken possession of the entire body politic. - Stop Trying Theories. To whom must we attribute this result? Now and In the future to any man possessed of power who advocates violent experiment with the existent adjustment of human relations, an ad justment which has been the slow out- growtn or all experience ana can only be modified carefully, slowly and judi cially. We fear mob rule, we fear revolu tionary methods. We fear the sudden application of new, untested, un- thought-out Ideas to the whole social fabric. Confidence is lost. Credit Is destroyed. Uncertainty and dread reign and this most extraordinary of panics has followed, as it would again from similar causes. If you ask how credit snail be re stored, I can give you but this nega tive answer: Not by a continuance of the nnsslhllitv of aDrjlicatlon to the whole of the country of still other new theories, nor by a continuance, t the will of our present ruler or of any like him, of sporadic spectacular attacks, one following another, upon the vari ous forms of Invested savings. SWALLOWS STOLEN COIN Seattle Girl Admits Theft, but Can't "Cough TJp" the "Dough." SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 10. (Special.) "Yes, I took it," tearfully admitted Pearl Myers today, when she was charged with stealing a $10 gold piece from a Japanese. "Where Is it?" demanded Patrolman Henry Hardin, who had arrested the girl for taking the money from the Japanese, whom, she says, she met on the street and engaged in conversation. The girl did not reply. Instead, she be gan to cry. After some effort the police man consoled the girl, and again asked her what she had done with the money. "I put it in my mouth to hide it," she said, "and then you arrested me and I was so frightened that I swallowed it." She made the declaration between sobs, and at the end of her confession cried as if her heart would break. The woman was charged with larceny and will be taken Into court on. that charge. There will be no money as evidence, however. FIVE KILLED IN COLLISION Passenger and Logging Trains Meet on Alabama Road. VINEGAR BEND, Ala.. Jan. 10.

At a meeting of the House hanking and currency com mittee today. Chairman Fowler explained at length the provisions of his currency reorganization bill as distinguished from the Aldrich bill In the Senate, arguing that while the former contemplates i e complete reorganization of National bank currency on the basis of lien credit guar anteed notes secured by National bank assets, the latter Is an emergency expan sion measure purely and provides for the issue of currency on such general security as the bonds of railroads, counties and municipalities, when approved by the Secretary of the Treasury. Numerous questions were asked, which trought out to some extent the varying attitude of members toward the Fowler bill. After the meeting Representative Hayes, of California, said: "While I am not committed to iir. Fowler's measure and shall not make up my mind until the subject has been more thoroughly gone Into, I am favorably ln ollned toward It. Between tt and the Aldrich 'bill there is no choice. The Aldrich hill, aside from -the serious o . jection that it merely temporary in scope and aims at emergency expansion, is In the nature of a stock gamming in strument pure, and simple. "Wall Street in its boldest moment could ask for nothing better fitted to Its own peculiar purposes." Valparaiso, Chile. The encounter three days agro between a party of Germans and the resi dents of a hamlet about midway between this city and Santiago, !n which one German was killed and live wounded, has been brought to tho attention of the German legation, and a thorough investigation will be -made. The Grip The I. ate Dr. Shrndy. One of Sew York's Most Successful Practitiom tn, Advised Getting Warm and Using a Cathartic at Once In Cases of Grip. . The firsi thing to do in an attack of the grip is to get warm, and be sure to move the bowels freely, preferably with Hood's Pills. Generally speaking If these simple directions are quickly followed, not more than a day or two need be lost. .. If the attack is severe time will be saved by remaining In bed two or three days. Be careful to avoid a re lapse. The grip is Invariably followed! by weakness. It lowers the health, tone and poisons the blood, hence the remedy clearly indicated Is Hood's Sarsaparllla, which creates an appetite, aids digestion, neutralizes the poison In the blood, which It purifies and re vitalizes, thereby giving renewed strength and ambition. No other medi cine will produce such quick and per manent results. No other is so economical. One - hundred doses one dollar. It Is wise to get a bottle and begin taking now.
