r REFER LA POIJLETTE HILL
Labor Interests Say It Is Better Than
Knox' on Employers' Liability.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2L. Senators
Brandagee and. Flint today sought to
have the Senate committee on education
and labor report back to the Senate the
La Follette employers' liability bill, with
a request that it be sent to the judiciary
committee, which has Jurisdiction of the
Knox hill on the same subject. The mo
tion was rejected and hearings on the
La Follette bill will be continued. Legis
lative agents of the railroad labor organ
izations announced that the La Follette
bill represented their views and that the
Knox bill is unsatisfactory to them, and
it Is due largely to their request that juris
diction was retained by the committee on
education and labor.
Interests favorable were to have been
heard today, but ex-Senator Faulkner,
of West Virginia, who represented sev
eral railroads, announced that he was
not ready to proceed, as he had not re
ceived notice. The hearing will be re
sumed February 27.
Oregon joined Salem in celebrating the
completion of the Oregon electric railroad
between Portland and Salem. At these
two meetings, great interest was aroused
and this third one was held for the pur
pose of getting tangible results.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE" FAILS
August Johnson, Albany Prisoner,
Opens Veins With Glass.
ALBANY, Or., Feb. 21. (Special.)
Pricking a vein in his left forearm with
a piece of glass, August Johnson, the
Swede hobo, confined in the County Jail
awaiting trial on a charge of burglary,
attempted, to kill himself last night. The
blood trickled so slowly from the small
aperture that the attempt was a failure,
but when Sheriff Smith entered the jail
this morning he found a great deal of
blood in the bathroom, where Johnson
had made the attempt on his life.
ONLY TO PROTECT COAST
WHY ELLIS TOTED FOR EIGHT
SUBMARINE BOATS.
ALDRICH BILL NEXT WEEK.
Bailey to OHer Substitute He Con
cedes Will Be Voted Down.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Senators Aid
rich and Bailey believe the Senate will
probably vote on the Aldrlch Currency
bill on Friday or Saturday of next
week. When half a dozen speeches have
been delivered, Senator Bailey will offer
his bill as a substitute for the Aldrlch
bill, and when It is voted down, as its
author concedes that it will be, the com
mittee itself will bring in some amend
ments. The bill will receive the almost unani
mous vote of the Republican Senators,
but it Is conceded that a few of those
from the Far West will cast their ballots
in the negative.
When the bill goes to the House there
will be an effort to have it accepted as
a substitute for any bill that may be
reported by the House Committee on
Banking and Currency.
Calls Lilley's Charge of Undue In
fluence Rot Did Not Even
Know Builders.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 21. Representative Ellis,
who is a member of the navy committee
and who voted for eight, instead of four,
submarine boats, and is therefore accused
by Representative Lilley of being un
duly influenced by the contractors, said
today that he acted in absolutely good
faith. He for one, and the committee as
a whole, as he understood, Increased the
number of submarines at the request of
the Pacifio Coast delegations, which ap
peared before the committee and insisted
on having an appropriation for this type
of boat for the better defense of Puget
Sound, Columbia River and San Fran
cisco Harbor.
In increasing the number of subma
rines, it was stated that the four
added to the number recommended by the
department would be built for Pacifio
Coast stations. In speaking of Mr.
Lilley's attack, Mr. Ellis said:
"The charges which Mr. Lilley makes
are the worst sort of rot. I never
heard the first suggestion of any In
timidation from any submarine boat
company being exercised upon the com
mittee, and if there has been any I
think I should have some knowledge
of It. As a matter of fact, I did not
know that there was such a company
as the Electric Boat Company. I knew
only that submarines had been recom
mended by the Navy Department and
that they had been tested and ap
proved by the Naval Board, to which
1 give credit for knowing more of the
subject than I. There is a demand for
torpedo craft in my section of the coun
try, and 1 voted fos the proposition. I
saw that it could not carry four bat
tleships through the House and I be
lieved that the next best way to in
crease the Navy was by authorizing
submarines. Lilley's charges are a
most unjust reflection upon every
member of the naval committee."
TAFT URGES ISLAND TRADE
Appears Before Senate Committee
on the Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Secretary
Taft today urged upon the Senate com
mittee on the Philippines the necessity of
removing the application of the coastwise
shipping laws from commerce between
the islands and the United States. He
argued that there are not enoush Ameri
can bottoms plying between the United
States and the Philippines to handle
trade that would come to this country if
it were not for the restriction in regard
to shipping. Senators Hale and Teller
produced figures in support of an argu
ment that the increase of trade with the
United States had been so limited that
it did not warrant the removal of the re
strictions. No action was taken on the
several bills before the committee to pro
mote commerce between the United
States and the Philippine Islands.
I'ORAKER'S AX IN RESERVE
Hints Will Oppose Salaries for Re
jected Ohio Postmasters.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. An amend
ment to tho Postofflce appropriation bill
was introduced by Foraker in the Senate
today. Culberson asked that it be read.
It proved to be a provision that railway
postal clerks shall be paid actual trav
eling expenses when away from the sta
tions at the rate of not more than $2 per
day.
The countenance of the Senator from
Texas showed disappointment.
"I thought," he said, "It was to pro
vide for the non-payment of salaries of
postmasters whose nominations have not
been confirmed by the Senate."
"Oh." retorted Foraker, "that will come
later."
SALEM'S BOOSTER FUND.
Capital City Plans to Raise $10,000
for Publicity.
. SA.LKM. Of., Feb. 21. (Special.) Two
hundred and fifty enthusiastic business
men of Salem gathered at a lunch given
t the v tllamette Hotel this evenlnpr un
iler the auspices of the Board of Trado
and after an extended discussion oi tho
need of providing an advertising fund
for balem, subscriptions were made ag
gregating nearly $7000 a year. It is be
lieved that this will be increased to Slo
000 tomorrow. Great Interest was mani
fested and confidence Is expressed that
Salem will yet surpass Astoria and Ku
gene in the effort to advertise her re
sources and advantages.
This was the third lare "booster" meet
ing held in Salem in eight days. The
first was held is the opera house, with
Tom Richardson, of Portland, as chief

LILLEY MUST MAKE GOOD
Naval Committee Will Inquire Boat
Company Lavish Entertainer.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21. Representa
tive Lilley, of Connecticut, who introduced
yesterday a resolution callhig for. an "in
vestigation of methods said to have been
employed by the Electric Boat Company
in endeavoring to have Its submarine
boats chosen by the House committee on
naval affairs, and caused a sensation, is
to be called before the committee on rules
to which the resolution was referred.
Speaker Cannon is chairman of that com
mittee. It Is unofficially understood if
Representative Lilley can show the com
mittee on rules that there is substantial
ground for his charges, his resolution of
investigation will be favorably reportea
to the House.
Chairman" Foss, of the committee on
Naval affairs, was unwilling today to
make for publication a formal state
ment with regard to Lilley's resolution
and the charges back of it. Personally,
he thought that a full investigation
ought to be made. provided Lilley
"could show that he has the hard
ground of facts under his feet." Foss
was on record for several years as an
uncompromising opponent of the tor
pedo boat as a fighting craft.
An examination of the charge that a
conspiracy existed among certain mem
bers of the naval committee to "turn
down President Roosevelt's naval con
struction programme," shows that I
majority of the committee expressed
themselves at the meeting on February
10 as strongly in favor of authorizing
the four battleships asked for by the
President, but that they adopt the view
of Foss that to report such a recom
mendation would Immediately cause the
committee to be reversed on the floor
of the House and they, therefore, voted
to recommend two battleships, the limit
of authorization that would be sup
ported by the House, in the opinion of
the chairman, who consulted House
leaders. Only five members of the
committee Lilley, of Connecticut;
Thomas, of Ohio; Meyer, of Louisiana
Talbot, of Maryland, and Hobson, of
Alabama, voted in favor of four battle
ships.
The vote to authorize eight subma
rines; instead of the four asked for
by the department and the President,
was ten to seven, the ayes being:
Loudenslager. of New Jersey; Butler
of Pennsylvania; Roberts, of Massa
chusetts; Loud, of Michigan; Bates, of
Pennsylvania; Thomas, of Ohio; Daw
son, of Iowa; Ellis, of Oregon, Gregg,
of Texas, and Talbot, of Maryland.
The noes were: Foss, of Illinois
Mudd, of Maryland; Lilley, of Connecti
cut; Elliott, of New York; Padgett, of
Tennessee; Lamar, of Missouri, and
Hobson, of Alabama.
The committe today decline to give
the name of the member on whose mo
tion the authorization was doubled.
Lpudwnslager, author of the commit
tee amendment making it obligatory on
the Navy Department to purchase
eight submarines of the Octopus type
unless a superior submarine should be
obtained by October 1, 1908, refused to
discuss the Lilley resolution or to re
ply publicly to Lilley's charge that this
amendment was in effect a delivery of
the prospective contract into the hands
of the Electrical Boat Company.
That the representatives of the
Electrical Boat Company have been
1 "lavish entertainers" In Washington
I appeared to be common knowledge, but
no one went so far as to Impute to
them the improper motives charged by
Lilley.
After Gallant Battle .With Disease,
He Passes Away at Pasadena.
One of America's Famous
Newspaper Editors.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 21. Crosby Stuart
Noyes, editor-in-chief of the Washington
Evening Star, died at S:30 this evening at
the Hotel Raymond at Pasadena after
an illness dating from his arrival here
three weeks ago. '
Complications which became pronounced
late in the afternoon exhausted the
strength and vitality which he had dis
played during the past fortnight, and
which, In spite of his 83 years, had as
tonished and encouraged the physicians
in charge. At his bedside when the end
came were all of the members of his
family, including his wife, three sons,
Theodore W. Noyes, associate editor of
the Chicago Record-Herald; Frank B.
Noyes, president of the Associated Press;
Thomas B. Noyes, manager of the
Washington ; Star, and his daughter,
Mrs. George Boyd, of Philadelphia. In
addition, Fred W. Hall, of San Francisco,
a son-ln-law,x was present.
Death Due to Grip.
The death of M-r. Noyes followed an
attack of grip contracted while travel
ing to California. Mrs. Noyes, the widow,
suffered an attack of grip at the same
time and is tonight somewhat ill as the
result of the shock.
Arrangements for the funeral are not
yet complete, but It has been determined
that the body will be interred In the
family vault at Rock Creek Cemetery,
Washington.
Mr. Noyes was a Maine man, having
been born at Minot, in that state, Febru
ary 16, 1825, and educated at Bowdoin
College. Finding farm life too hard for
his frail physique he went to Washington
in 1847, making the last stages of his Jour
ney on foot for lack of funds. He has
been an active newspaper man for over
60 years, beginning as Washington corre
spondent of several Eastern papers at a
time when Webster. Clay, Calhoun and
their contemporaries were the leaders In
public affairs. He became noted for his
witty and picturesque descriptive work.
In 1855, soon after the Star was ' estab
lished, he became a reporter op that paper
and during the war gained a reputation
for his tact and accuracy as a news gath
erer. ,
Won Stanton's Confidence.
He was one of the few newspaper men
who so far gained the confidence of Sec
retary Stanton that he gained news as
to the movements and operations of the
Army. He was soon promoted to be as
sistant editor and in 1S67 acquired an
interest in the paper and became its chief
editor.
Since that date the growth and pros
perity of the Star in the "graveyard"
of newspaper enterprise has been his
work. He was christened by a brother
editor "the editor-in-chief of the most in
fluential newspaper in Washington, of the
daily which shapes more legislation than
any other newspaper in the United
States."
Mr. Noyes labored unceasingly at his
ch'osen profession and set Uls stamp upon
Washington journalism as a purveyor or
clean, Bound, active facts. He contin
ually strove against sensational tenden
cies, his views on this subject being made
known to newspapermen generally through
special papers presented by him at the
world's press parliament at the St. Louis
Exposition, and again at the Jamestown
Exposition last year.
He was a potent factor in the develop
ment of modern Washington. He and A.
R. Shepherd together planned municipal
improvements when serving In the mu
nicipal Council in 1SC3. He was the fore
most advocate of tile assumption by the
Government of one-half of the debt and
expenses of the District of Columbia, of
the reclamation of the Potomac flats and
of the establishment of Rock Creek Park.
Family of Newspaper Men.
He married Elizabeth S., daughter of
Rev. Thomas Williams, of Maine, in ISM,
and had three sons and two daughters.
All the sons worked with him as news
paper men on the Star until Theodore
launched forth as associate editor of the
Chicago Record-Herald.
Mr. Noyes tramped' all over the United
States on foot In 1855 and described his
tour in a series of letters to the Portland,
Me., Transcript. In later years he trav
eled throughout the world, especial
ly In Oriental countries, writing to his
paper vivid descriptions of scenes and
life In other countries.
He was able to Impress his views upon
governmental policies in shaping the dip
lomatic relations of America with Japan
and China, while he was a potent force
in bringing about the annexation of Ha
waii. He was a member of several social so
cieties and sportsmen's clubs. He led in
movements for educational, charitable,
benevolent or reformatory work and was
a director of the District of Columbia Re
form School, the Board of Children's
Guardians, the Newsboys' Home and the
Foundling Asylum.

Schmitz' Reply to Appeal in Extor
tion Case.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 21 The brief
of Eugene Sehmitz in reply to the appeal
of the prosecution to the Supreme Court
for a review of the decision of the Court
of Appeals in the extortion cases, when
It was decided by the latter court that
the indictment of Schmitz was faulty,
waa filed by the attorneys for SchmiU
this afternoon.
The main point advaneed by Schmita'
attorneys is that the Indictments- charg
ing Schmitz with extortion do not con
stitute a public offense, that the threats
which caused the French restaurant
keepers to pay tribute were not unlaw
ful. The attacks made in me prosecu
tion'a petition against the Court of Ap
peals are commented on in Schmitz brief.
but no attempt is made to answer the
outside attacks on the decision.
The Supreme Court has until March 8
to grant or deny the prosecution's plea
for a rehearing. If the plea is denied.

Lack of thought causes more ill
health than lack of knowledge;
many people who know Government-Inspected
Meats are the only
safe meats to be taken into the
system, don't THINK to demand
them. It is only common-sense
judgment to demand pure meats
for your table.
It Costs But a Thought
To put Government-Inspected
Meat on your table refuse any
other; the Government and the
packers pay the cost.
