tenant of police, who cut off with a
pair of shears those construed as trea
sonable. Red ribbons predominated on the
wreaths and showed through the thick
layers of nnw, which was falling

to prohibit the issuance of injunctions

give rise to complications and perhaps
prevent agreement on any of the sub

of prosperity into a commercial turn
table." In these words, Hull, of Tennessee,
expressed his opinion of the Republi
can party.

"our Republican friends should cheer

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey Cofman, died at 11:80 this
morning of accidental' poisoning. The child obtained the poison while
her parents were out of the house, and. thinking it was good to drink,
took a portion of it. She died in a half hour, before medical assist

had taken the poison they did everything in their power to save her,
but in vain. Mr. Coffman is a forest ranger in the Government serv
ice. He lives about 10 miles east of hero. He Is a member of the
First Presbyterian Church of Portland. The funeral will be held at 2

of the Portland Y. M. C. A.-
of the American Federation of Labor,
today, termed the "protest committee,"
which was directed to frame an address
to be presented to those responsible for
legislation in Congress. It was also de
cided to ask the leaders in Congress to
fix upon a time when a committee from
the labor conference can confer with
them. It is understood the memorial will
call attention to the recent injunctions
by the Supreme Court against the Hat
ters' Union and ask that the Sherman
anti-trust law be eo amended as to afford
relief.
A feature of the gathering was the
presence, for the first timet In the history
of labor gatherings, of delegates repre
senting the Farmers' National Union and
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin
eers, which two bodies have never affil
iated with the American Federation of
Labor except in a fraternal way.
Mr. Gompers pointed out that court rul
ings were binding upon all labor organi
zations until changed or modified by
Congressional action.
Tho object of the conference was to
consider the proper amendments to the
Sherman anti-trust act, which are being
drafted, with a view not of exempting
labor organizations from their obligations
to the public, but rather to prevent any
Injustice being done through the opera
tion of law lo organizations of laboring
men. particularly through Injunctions.
The proposed amendments are the result
or recent conferences at the White House
between President Roosevelt and others.
There are 117 'National and interna
tional trade unions in America, and
practically all of them 'were represented
by one or more delegates.

mineowner. He became interested In a
mine in connection with H. Seamon. of
Goldfleld and Rwio. and visited this city
frequently in company with Mx. Seamon,
when the two occupied apartments to
gether at the Ramona Hotel.
On two occasions Mr. Seam on reported

Arrival of Foreign Warships Wards
Off Trouble. .
PARIS, March 18. Official advices re
ceived here from Haytl indicate that the
arrival at Port au Prince of foreign war
ships has produced the desired effect upon
President Nord Alexis. M. Caateron, the

refugees has been authorized, and safe
conducts have been granted for the de
parture of General Firmin and the other
revolutionary agitators, who had taken
asylum at the legations and consulates at
Port au Prince and Bonaives. M. Carte
ron gives much credit for this improved
state of affairs to the active intervention
of M. Borno and the Minister of State,
who were the first to counsel this course
of action. AU danger of an attack on the
legations or consulates is now considered
at an end.
The report that the diplomatic repre
sentatives at Port au Prince had pre

involving his resignation, is declared here
to be without foundation.

GRAND OPERA ON
TALKING MACHINE
Extraordinary Concert to Be Given
by Eilers Piano House To
morrow Evening.
What promises to be the most notable
Talking Machine concert ever given in
this city will take place in Eilers Re
cital Hall tomorrow evening.
Ltoncavallos famous two-act musical
drama, as especially recorded for the
Victor Talking Machine by the La Scala
Orchestra ana Chorus, of Milan. Italy,
under the personal direction of the
composer; will be reproduced.
The records are the finest ever made
by the great Victor Co. In fact, it
would be hard to conceive of a more
perfect rendition, and to listen to the
reproduction of this beautiful opera
no great imagination is required to
picture the play and the players.
The artists selected by Leoncavallo
to interpret his great work are well
known and most competent ones. Mme.
Huguct, one of Italy's most beloved
prima donnas, has a voice of ample
range and power, and sings the music
of Kedda most beautifully. Clgada's
Tonie is a remarkable performance, the
richness and beauty of his voice being
especially noticeable in the prologue
and the duet with Nedda. As Canto
a choice of tenors Is offered, the more
delicate voice of Barbaini being con
trasted with the splendid fire and in
tensity of Paoli's singing. Badlnl., as
Silvio, is fully adequate, while the
smaller parts are well filled. Nothing
need be said about the orchestra and
chorus of La Scala, as their reputation
is world wide. The theme will be
briefly and interestingly explained by
L. P. Bruce.
While there will be no charge, ad
mission will be by ticket only. Re
served seats can be procured upon ap
plication at Eilers Piano House, 363
Washington St. Only the seating
capacity of the hall will be given out,
and it will be prudent to secure tickets
at once.
John COara. Mr. Ach's 334 objections
to Mr. Heney affidavit and 114 to Mr.
Burns' were taken up seriatim. The
court sustained some of the objections,
dented many and reserved ruling on many
others. When court adjourned, only
about half the objections had been dis
posed of.

USEFUL HINTS TO HOUSE
KEEPERS. A COAT of Natural Jap-a-lao ap
plied over old or new linoleum or oil
cloth will double its life, by preserving
the priginal coat of varnish, which
would otherwise soon . be washed or
worn off.
WEATHER-BEATEN front doors
are revived and beautified when coat
ed with Jap-a-lac, and "newness fol
lows the brush." It is best to use the
color nearest that of the old finish.
WINDOW AND . DOOR screens
should be coated with Jap-a-lac each
Spring, using the brilliant Black on
the wire, and the Mahogany, Oak,
Cherry or Walnut on the frames. It
gives them new life and the wire cloth
is protected from rust.
PORCH FURNITURE should be
protected and beautified each Spring
with Jap-a-lac. It is best to use the
color of the old finish; but If you wish
to change the color, use Red or Green
Jap-a-lac.
WICKER FURNITURE coated with
Mahogany, Ox-Blood Red, Malachite
Green or Gloss White Jap-a-lac looks
better than new.
WATER PIPES, furnace fronts, ra
diators, hot-water tanks and Iron
fences are preserved and beautified
with the use of Jap-a-lac. Use the
Gold, Aluminum, Dead Black or Bril
liant Black.
PICTURE FRAMES, candelabra,
gas fixtures, lamps, etc., given a coat
of Gold, Aluminum or Dead Black
Jap-a-lac are renewed almost beyond
belief; the Dead Black produces
that beautiful wrought-iron effect.
OLD AUTOMOBILES, carriages,
wagons, agricultural implements, etc.,
Jap-alac-ed with either Brilliant
Black, Red, Green or Empire Blue,
look 100 per cent better and are given
new life. The cost . is nominal, and
the work can be done by an inexperi
enced person.
JAP-A-LAC is -a household neces
sity, and can be used in a hundred
and one ways, from "cellar to garret,"
and is especially adapted for finishing
old or new floors and woodwork. Ask
your paint dealer.
