Frye Resolution Subject of
Much Debate in the
Senate Session.
PLEADS FOR NORTHWEST
Fnlton f-peaks In Favor of Amend
ment Offered Bailey Makes a
Brilliant Speech Opposing
the Aldrich BUI.
WASHINGTON, March 9. Senator Jo
sph M. Falley, of Texas, a member of
the finance committee, which reported
the Aldrich currency bill today, held the
attention of his colleague and visitors
who crowded the galleries of the Senate
for over two hours with a speech In oppo
sition to that measure. When he con
cluded his address he was greeted with
n storm of applause, and Senators from
both sides of the chamber, as well as
many members of the House, who
crowded about him to extend their con
gratulations. The Senate discussed at length Senator
Frye's Joint resolution providing for the
carrying of materials for the Panama
Canal in American bottoms only. Frye
advocated the adoption of the resolution,
saying that at least 5.000.000 barrels of ce
ment would be required In the work, and
that so long as foreign vessels were per
mitted to compete, it would be Impos
sible for the domestic ships to participate
in the transportation because of the dif
ference both in construction and opera
tion. He said that In tooth these re
spects British built ships had an advan
tage of at least one-third.
An amendment by Foster, of Virginia,
providing that the restriction should not
apply to the Gulf ports or any part of
the United States from which vessels of
the United States could not be secured
for the trade was accepted by Frye.
Fulton, of Oregon, and Bacon, of Geor
gia, sought to have the amendment ex
tended to the North Pacific and Southern
Atlantic coasts respectively, but were un
successful. Kulton contended that the proposed
legislation would practically bar lumber
men and other Pacific Coast producers
from furnishing the canal -with supplies,
and offered an amendment excepting Pa
cific Coast ports from the provision of
the resolution. The entire matter went
over until Wednesday.
Resolutions of sorrow upon the an
nouncement of the death of Representa
tive Adolph Meyer, of Louisiana, were
adopted, and at 4:20 P. M. the Senate ad
journed as a further mark of .respect to
his memory.
The 'House was In session but a few
minutes, adjourning at 12:13 o'clock upon
announcement of Mr. Meyer's death.
REPORT AGAINST FOWLER BILL
Minority Charges Creation of Mo
nopoly and I'rgca Williams Bill.
. WASHINGTON, March 9. The Dem
ocratic members of the House com
mittee on banking and currency today
agreed to report to the House the
minority currency bill, introduced by
John Sharp Williams, as a substitute
for the Fowler bill.
In the course of ther report the
minority says:
We oppose the hill hecauna It virtually
takes from the Government power to regu
late and safeguard the National banks of
the country and wholly gives over the con
trol of such institutions to a board of
managers which is selected by the banks
themselves.
The minority takes exception to the
provisions of the bill requiring the
retirement of greenbacks: complains
that It makes banks the agents of the
Government for the transaction of all
its business, and urges the Inadequacy
of the Interest charged. It Is also
charged that under action of the pro
posed law all state banks and savings
Vnd trust companies would inevitably
be driven out of business. The report
continues:
With the banks a'll organised under ons
t-vptem enjoying sole and complete power to
iHBue all moneys as they deem proper, will
there not be great danger either from con
traction or Inflation of the amount of money
in circulation?
Will It not he in the absolute power of
these banks or their board of managers, to
make money scarce or to make It plentiful;
to make the rate of intereat high or to
make it cheap: to cause a depression or
produce a relaxation? Surely congress is
being asked to delegate to the banks a most
dangerous and wonderful power in giving
them absolute control of the medium of all
alues. money, and in conferring on them
the sole power to issue money in auch
quantities as they think wise. Without doubt
the most serious proposition with which
Congress has had to deal in many yeara la
the regulation and control of the great cor
relations that have grown overpowerrul and
beyond tha control of the Government, yet
while we are planning waya whereby we
may wisely and justly subject these great
interests to Government regulation we are
asked bv the Fowler bill to create a bank
ins svstem all powerful, with complete and
undisputed authority to regulate the circu
lating medium of the country in quantity,
in manner, and at times to please those
fortunate enough to enjoy this great pe
tlal privilege.
The minority concludes by urging
the acceptance of the Williams bill as
a substitute for the Fowler bill.
ALDRICH BILL DENOVNCED
New York Merchants Ask President
to Favor Fowler Bill.
WASHINGTON. March 9. A commit
tee of the Merchants' Association of
New York, introduced to the President
by Representative Fowler, of New Jer
sey, protested against the Aldrich cur
rency bill and Indorsed the Fowler
measure. The committee submitted a
statement declaring that the Aldrich
bill "proposes to fasten upon us an ex
tension of the vicious principles now
inherent In our present currency sys
tem, with Its legal tenders in large
measure the fiat money of the Govern
ment and Its National bank notes based
on Government debt as security."
It was assorted that such a system
is an inheritance from the crude and
hasty financing imposed by the neces
sities of the Civil War.
The President refrained from an ex
pression of his opinion.

cities to Oppose It.
BRUSSELS, March 9. Minister of State
Beerneart, who was at first disposed to
favor the treaty providing for the annex
ation of the Congo" Independent State to
Belgium, has' now decided to oppose it
because of the clauses granting recogni
tion to private concessions and providing
for a grant of $10,000,000 to King Leopold.
The defection of M. Beerneart and his
followers will mean the further modifica
tion or possibly the defeat of the treaty.

EVELYN WANTS DIVORCE
Violent Scene With Harry Thaw Is
Denied. However.
NEW YORK, March 9. Franklin Bart
lett, the lawyer who has been engaged
b- Mrs. "William Thaw to assist in
straightening out the troubles of her son,
Harry K. Thaw, is quoted as making the
following statement tonight regarding the
reported break in the relations between
Thaw and his wife:
'The reports that have been printed to
the effect that Mrs. Evelyn Thaw has
been shadowed for evidence in a divorce
proceeding are without truth.
"Mrs. William Thaw is inclined to be
fair with her son's wife. Insofar as I am
concerned, as counsel for the mother, I
would not use any such means as are
suggested in these frequently printed
stories. I believe that Mrs. Evelyn Nesbtt
Thaw has every reason to expect consid
eration in her treatment by myself and
counsel. Mrs. Evelyn Nesblt Thaw de
sires a separation from her husband, and
her husband hopes that there will be a
reconciliation. There has been -an
estrangement, but there has not been any
such outbreak on the part of the husband
as has been described."
The story said there had been a violent
scene between Thaw and his wife.
CHINESE HOLD MEETINGS

on board were, intended for Chinese rev
olutionists, has not yet been fully settled.
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Minister to
China, had a conference today with Yuan
Shi Kai, Grand Councillor of the Em
pire, but they failed to reach an under
standing on the question of the release of
the steamer, which is still held by China,
and with regard to the indemnity. China
has, however, given satisfaction regard
ing the hauling down the Japanese flag
on the Tatsu Maru by Chinese officers,
and Baron Hayashi today assured China
that Japan would meet her desires re
garding supervision of traffic of arms to
Chinese territory- He agreed also to the
Chinese proposal for the ultimate disposi
tion of the cargo or the latsu Maru,
after which he again set forth the final
demands of his government.
Influence had to be exerted on Yuan
Shi Kai to get him to act in the matter.
The Foreign Board reiterates Its. pre
vious statement that the case cannot
be settled without a thorough investiga
tion. The Viceroy of Canton is opposing
the punishment of the Chinese naval
commander who boarded the Tatsu
Maru and lowered the Japanese flag.
In view of the present status of the
negotiations, final action by Japan will
of itecessity have to be deferred for at
least two days.

ment today of Sheng Kung Pao as Vice

Communications brings again into public

FINED FOR SAYING HURRAH
German Equal Suffragists Given a
Lesson in "Free Speech.
BERLIN. March 9. A minor court in
Berlin has just decided that It is a gross
misdemeanor to shout on the open streets
"Hurrah for universal suffrage."
The case came out for appeal from a
police order of arrest on the part of three
Socialists who took part in street demon
strations on January 1. The offenders
asked that Chancellor von Buelow be
called as, a witness as to the harmless
ness of street demonstrations, since the
Chancellor had made speeches to noisy
crowds on election night.
The court rejected the motion on the
ground that "the - great difference is
whether fanatical masses on the streets
give expression to dissatisfaction with the
existing laws or whether a patriotic peo
ple pay a Joyful homage to statesmen."
Further It was charged that the defend
ants were singing the workingman's
"Marseillaise." The court Imposed fines
ranging from J5 to $8.75.
HEARING IS BEGUN
Committee on Lilley's Charges",
Takes Up Work.
CONGRESSMAN TO TESTIFY
Will Be First Witness Called Thurs
day Wants Time to Procure At
torney and Requests Other
Witnesses Be Called First.
WASHINGTON. March 9. The spe
cial committee of the House appointed
by Speaker Cannon, at the request of
Representative Lllley, of Connecticut,
"to Investigate the conduct of the Elec
tric Boat Company of New Jersey and
its predecessor, the Holland Boat
Company. respecting: methods em
ployed ty said companies in connection
with past or proposed legislation be
fore Congresss," began its Investiga
tion today.
The committee, which is composed of
Representatives Boutell of Illinois
(chairman), Stephens of Minnesota,
Olmstead of Pennsylvania, Broussard
of Louisiana and Howard of Georgia,
met in a room at the House office
building at 10:30 clock. Before the
committee had been called to order
Chairman Boutell stated that no wit
nesses had been summoned, but that
Representative Lllley had been re
quested to appear before the commit
tee; that as yet the committee has
nothing' before it, and will not be in
position to summon witnesses until Mr.
Lilley lays the facts before them.
Report of Committee on Rules.
After the committee had been called to
order, the clerk was directed by Chairman
Boutell to read the report of the commit
tee on rules, pursuant to which the inves
tigating committee was appointed. When
the clerk reached the portion of the re
port which said that Mr. Lilley, at his
own instance, appeared before the com
mittee on rules in connection with these
charges, Mr. Lilley interrupted to say
that he had received a written notice from
the clerk of that committee to appear be
fore it.
When the reading of the report had
been concluded. Chairman Boutell called
on Representative Lilley and asked him
Sf he was prepared to go ahead and
' state the facts in his possession. Mr.
Lilley said tie was not prepared to be
examined at this time; that he desired
to be represented by an attorney, and had
not yet secured one. He, however, sub
mitted a number of ' documents to the
committee. He stated that he had been
shadowed by detectives, and said that In
order that this shadowing be stopped,
he would ask to have summoned as wit
nesses, three operatives connected with a
local detective agency. He also sub
mitted a list of witnesses that he desired
to be summoned. Mr. Lilley asked that
he be allowed to name the manner in
which the witnesses be called. He did not
wish, he said, to be the first witness.
Iiilley Must Tell What He Knows.
Mr. Boutell stated that it was the in
tention of the committee to have Mr. Lll
ley first state what he knows of his own
knowledge concerning these charges and,
in order to allow him to procure an at
torney, adjournment was taken until
Thusrday morning.
At an executive session of the commit
tee, it was decided that Mr. Lilley be the
first witness called Thursday, and action
on his request that other witnesses be
called be deferred until an investigation
discloses that the persons named are con
nected in some way within the scope of
the inquiry. His request that his attorney
be allowed to examine and cross-examine
witnesses was denied.
Regarding the charge that Lilley made
that he was being shadowed by detectives,
the chairman of the committee was au
thorised to inquire whether Mr. Lilley
was being impeded in bringing before the
committee anything within the scope of
his authority by the alleged detectives,
and If. In his opinion, he was being o
impeded, that the committee would use
every effort within its power to protect
him as a member of the House and as a
witness. In addition to the request of Mr.
Lilley that his attorney be allowed to ex
amine witnesses, the Electric Boat Com
pany submitted a -similar request.
REBUKE KAISER -BAITERS
(Continued Prom First Pace.)
made an .attack upon the "yellow"
Journalism of England, with special
reference to the inferences drawn by
the London Times from the letters. He
said: I
Calls Haters of Germany Insane.
We have witnessed the whole world drawing:
the absolutely Inaane Inference that -the Ger
man Emperor waa attempting: to Influence
Lord Tweedraouth with a view of cutting
down the naval estimates and cheeking the
Increase of British armament. This country
has been placed in an unseemly and ridiculous
position and I am quite sure the idea men
tioned never entered Emperor William's head
or the head of any educated person entitled
to remain outside of a lunatic asylum.
There Is a section of the press which seems
anxious to create bad feeling; between these
two countries and there ia an impression
abroad that, because Great Britain has ar
rived at a friendly feeling for France, she
should be hostile to Germany. This section
of the press took up this trivial Incident to
excite morbid suspicions between the two
countries, suspicions which, in my opinion,
gradually are developing into danger for the
peace of Europe.
Continuing, Lord Rosebery reminded
the country that its friends of today
might be the enemies of tomorrow and
vice versa. He drew the lesson from
the present excitement that neither
the English nor the German press
should do anything that might endan
ger the1 peace of Europe. Thoughtful
observers, he said, should not overlook
the fact that the German army of
4.000. 000 men represented practically
the German Nation. Before any Ger
man government, however powerful,
would be able to declare war. on any
country, it most have the support' of
this Nation behind It and it could only
have the support of the German nation
in a war against Great Britain when
the feeling of the nation had been so
exasperated as to render a continuance
of peaceful conditions, impracticable.
Royal Visit to Kaiser.
So far as the British government is
concerned, the statements made this
afternoon in the House of Commons
and the House of Lords are regarded
as closing the incident of Emperor
William's letter to Lord Tweedmouth.
There Is no truth in the report that
an exchange of views is going on be
tween the two governments concern
ing this - correspondence or dealing
with . a possible reduction . in , naval
armaments. The suggestion which has
been advanced in several quarters
that the incident has had a prejudicial
effect on the relations between Great
Britain and Germany was warmly re
pudiated at the British Foreign Office
today.
In view of the anti-German excite
ment prevalent at the present time,
political interest attaches to the of
ficial announcement made this after
noon that the Prince and Princess of
"Wales are going to Germany at the
end of this month to visit Emperor
William and the Empress.
RELATIONS ARE UNDISTURBED
Tweedmonth Affair Said Not to Have
Any Bad Effect.
'BKRLIN. March 9 "The relations
between Germany and Great Britain
are absolutely undisturbed in conse
quence of the Tweedmouth affair."
This was the assurance given the
Associated Press at the German For
eign Office this afternoon, and the
statement is borne out by dispatches
sent by Count " Mettcrnich, German
Ambassador to Great Britain, to Chan
cellor von Buelow. and by other fncs
sages from Sir Frederick Lascelles.
the British Ambassador at Berlin, to
the Foreign -Of flee at London. These
communications contained similar
declarations.
A prominent German official asserted
the opinion today that the agitation,
which Is one-sided, soon would cease,
and if Emperor William's letter was
made public the London Times, would
be the onjy sufferer. The desire of
the Times, this official continued, was
first to obtain notoriety, second to
bring about the downfall of the Lib
eral government, and . third to em
barrass Germany; but even the oppo
sition .party in England did not sup
port the Times' method of agitation.

(Special.) Walter . McCredie's- Portland
team, reinforced by Shortstop Cooney
and Pitchers Lakaff and Groom, who
arrived today, defeated the Santa Bar
bara High School team today by the'
score of 12 to 1. Portland scored freely
in the early innings and let up toward
the latter part of the game. Ote John
son is getting his batting eye early. . He
secured three hits Sunday and as many
more today. Two of today's swats were
doubles to the fence and the other was
a clean home-run.
Catcher West has been found to be a
gold brick, and ' has been released.
Walsh seems to be all the goods behind
the bat. He. is rather small, but has the
whip and can bat with, almost any of
them. Whaling is- a bustler, but shows
promise of future development, and Mc
Credie will probably hold him. Cooney
is .a Jew, and resembles Abe- Attell to
a jnarked degree. He is rather small,
but speedy and fast. He has a fine arm
ana while he did not cut loose very
strong today, he showed that he knows
the game. He comes frorn . the - Johns.
-.;n team of the Tri-State League and
lives in New York City. Lakaff. the De
troit pitcher, is a big. husky chap and
flings the sphere from the south side.
If in shape he will pitch Wednesday
against the Chicago Americans. He lost
a 2-to-l game to that team while with
Detroit last year. Groom was with Port
land last year, and the Oregon fans da
not need an introduction to this tall,

Santa Barbara may lose the Portland
team, for Manager McCredie Is disgust
ed with the actions of Manager Chavez,
of the Santa Barbara team, who, Mc
Credie claims, is making demands in ex
cess of terms arranged previous to the
coming of the Portland team. Accord
ing to McCredie. Chavez signed the fol
lowing agreement: Portland to have free
use of ball grounds for training and
practice purposes: split TO and 30 on all
games with the Santa Barbara club: pro
ceeds of the Portland-Chicago White
Socks games, to be left any way McCre
die saw fit; and to guarantee Portland
Sunday games during the time that club
is here.
It is said that Chavez now demands 50
per cent of all Sunday games, 5 per cent
of McCredie's cut of 30 per cent in the
Chicago games, and refuses to guarantee
to bill Portland on Sundays.
McCredie announces that he is well
pleased with the advantages of Santa
Barbara as a. training ground, and that
he likes the place very well, but will
transfer his team to Salinas, should Cha
vez continue his present demands.
