KIXO MAXUEL IlEGOMMEXDS REFORMS FXR PORTUGAL. Address Opening Cortes a Vigorous and Practical Document Peo ple Cheer New Ruler. LISBON. April 2fc The Portuguese Cortes reassembled today, the eighty- second anniversary of the establishment of constitutional government in Portu gal. The royal mourning for the late King Carlos and his son ms suspended for the occasion. King Manuel was re spectfully greeted by the people. King Manuel proceeded to ttie Cortes, accompanied by many dignitaries of the state and escorted by a strong guard of troops. The floor of the chamber was filled with Deputies and the galleries were crowded with a brilliant audience. His Majesty slowly mounted the tribune that had been erected for bis use. His address, which he read in strong and full tones, was a most pathetic and at the same time a practical and vigorous discourse, calculated to win the sympa thy of the people. H touched upon the tragedy of February 1. when his father and his brother were shot down as "the cruel disappearance of my father and brother." He begged the country to concentrate all its energies in a supreme effort to at tain the realization of the destinies of Portugal. "I hope to work with you." the King said, "In order to bring about the happi ness of our country to which I hence forth dedicate my life and activities." Continuing. King Manuel recommended a revision of the Constitution and estab lishment of individual rights, a new elec toral law fixing the rights of suffrage, the revision of the decrees promulgated by ex-Premier Franco and more rigid and careful methods of finance whereby the country could be placed, on a more economical footing. At the conclusion of the King's speech the members of the Cortes broke out Into cries of "Long live the King," which were taken up and re-echoed by the people. BUILDS UP OLIGARCHY Johnson Wars Against Centraliza tion of Power In America. DETROIT. Mich., April 29. Two evils menace America today, said Governor John A, Johnson, of Minnesota, in a lec ture tonight on "The Majesty of the Law." before the Alumni Association of the Western High School. They are, he said, the centralization of power In the Federal Government and the centraliza tion of business power in the hands of a few men. 'Executives, too, are frequently gov erned by expediency." he said. "Expe diency Is always fraught with danger. The political organization which disre gards expediency and sticks to a prin ciple is the one which accomplishes re sults. America has now a system of centralization. Instead of a government by the people and for the people it seems to be becoming a government by people and for people who have been en franchised by the people to do a quasi public business. "Some things have happened in the last few years which seem to Indicate that a few men are trying to control everything. We have now in this coun try an oligarchy as great as was the oligarchy of Rome. It is the oligarchy of business. The men who are respon sible are making a mistake. And I think they will be called to account soon. We are told that the Declaration of In dependence has no particular foroe nor effect and that the Constitution Is a flexible document, also that we may be come a great world power. "I cannot make myself believe tbat they have ceased to be living, breathing forces." Kentucky Bank Assigns. OWENSBORO. Ky., April 29.

MANN DEEPLY IMPRESSED Chairman of House Committer Says He Will Probe Discrepancy to Bottom Arbitrary Meth ods of Trust Revealed. WASHINGTON, April 29 More evi dence tending to show there is a com bination of paper manufacturers to fix the price of white paper in the United States was adduced today before the spe cial committee of the House, which is Investigating the subject of duty on wood pulp and print paper as affecting the price In the United States. John H. Norris, chairman of the paper committee of the Newspaper Publishers' Association, presented numerous letters and documents to bear out this conten tion. Apparently the committee was particu larly Impressed with the annual state ment of the International Paper Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1907, showing an Increased cost of production of 60 cents a ton as against the raise of the price of paper of $12 a ton. Chair man Mann, appreciating the importance of this testimony, announced that he would go to the bottom to ascertain the cause of bo large an increase in the price of paper. Questions for Trust. During the day Mr. Norris formulated a number of questions which he wished the committee to propound at once to the International Paper Company, and oth ers, and also submitted the names of a dozen persons identified with the paper business whom he desired subpenaed. Resuming his testimony today before the select committee of the House on wood pulp and print paper, Mr. Norris furnished the committee with data show ing that H. G. Craig & Co. controlled the output of seven independent mills. Until these mills were combined Into one selling agency, Mr. Norris said, there was no concentration or control or news print paper mills. Responding to a series of questions from Chairman Mann, Mr. Nor ris said that the mills controlled by Craig & Co. did not undertake to make sales independently. "Is It your claim. Mr. Mann asked, "that all these mills agree upon a price wh ioh Craig & Co. ca rry out, or a f ter conference they decide upon the price which they carry out. so that there is no variation In price no competition? 'The claim of the publishers," the wit ness replied, "is that In some way, either by direction of Craig & Co., or by ar rangement with them, a common price is agreed on among the mills. Several original letters from publishers were put In evidence, giving Indications of the existence of a paper trust. By way of fixing the date when the paper companies refused to make quota tions, Mr. Norris produced in evidence a number of letters from paper manufac turers In response to requests for prices. Stafford Grows Curious. 'Was that because they did not have any paper on hand to meet the demand of the newspapers?" Mr. Stafford in quired. "It shows," replied Mr. Norris. "that in some way which we have not yet un covered It was a part of the programme by which they would not make quota tions." Most of the letters were dated June or July, 1907. As a part of the formulation of the testimony with respect to combina tions of the various groups of paper com panies. Mr. Norris at this point put In evidence a list of officers and by-laws of the new sulphHe pulp association, which was published November 23. 1907. These by-laws provided for the tabula tion of a monthly confidential report on tonnage, agreed prices, names of buyers. terms of contracts, etc The association, he said, bad been in the lutbit of holding meetings at the Hotel Astor, New York, at which prices were fixed. "The new by-laws," said Mr. Norris, 'were devised, so we change and expect to prove. Immediately following the com plaints of the publishers, and in order that this association might be 'within the Federal statutes. Responding to a question by Mr. Mann. Mr. Norris said he did not know In what proportion sulphite pulp was made by news print paper manufacturers for them selves. He thought, however, that most of the newspaper print paper manufac turers did make their own sulphite pulp. Did Not Affect Cost. 'Our contention Is," saJd be. "that to the extent that the Sulphite Pulp Asso ciation fixed the price for the market it did affect the cost of material entering into news print paper." The witness was unable to state the amount of sulphite pulp manufactured in Canada. When, at 11:30 o'clock, the bells an nounced tbat there was no quorum In the House, Mr. Mann remarked: Well, Mr. Norris, you may suspend. We are again interrupted In the midst of the bearing by the demand In the House for senseless rollcall. We are required to go over to the Capitol, all of us, in order to make a quorum. SUICIDE'S FIRM SUSPENDS Notice Follows Tragic Ieath of Charles1 Coster, Broker. NEW YORK. April 29. Following the suicide last night of Charles Coster, a prominent broker and society man. the stock exchange firm of Coster, Knapp & Co., of which Mr. Coster was a member, announced Its suspension today on the floor of the New York Stock ISxchange. The firm was a prominent one and had done an extensive business. Mr. Coster, who was rated as a million aire, had prepared for his voluntary death with a coolness and thoroughness which proved beyond any doubt that the act was premeditated. He selected a time when Mrs. Coster was at a reception, and after preparing himself for bed telephoned to his family physician that Mrs. Coster had a tee v ere cold and asked him to come to the house at once. Soon after the doctor arrived Coster retired to his room and sent a bullet through his head. The shot rang through the house just as Mrs. Coster entered, returning from the recep tion and she rushed to her husband's room. At the door of the room Bhe met the family physician, who had found her husband dead, with the smoking revolver in his hand. The relative of Coster last night were at a loss to account for his' act. Today, however, J. M. Knapp, of the failed firm, INCREAS issued a formal statement in which he declared that Coster had been speculat ing heavily and that this speculation brought about the suspension of the firm. WILL FIGHT APPROPRIATION Cyras II. 'Walker Explains Why He Can't Recede From Hfs Position. ALBANY. Or.. April 27. To the Edi tor.) Your vigorous editorials not long since, getting after me, figuratively speak ing, so set me "on the run'' that I had to take time to get my breath. Now that I have recovered my "wind" again. I renew the race. Although It may seem irreverent. I fain would quote the language addressed to Jonah: "Doest thou well to be angry?" Jonah rv:4- In your editorial criticising my state ment that "After nearly TO years in Ore gon. I surely know as well as any one can what are her needs along every line of earnest endeavor." you say "that there are certain people here before him some of whom still linger on the stage, whose judgment in regard to matters educational, industrial and political would not be confidently put forward as the es sence of true wisdom." Your reference is evidently to the In dians, for they are the only people who were here before I was; now living. If I remember aright it Was the vote (as was claimed) of these same people on the Silet and Grand Ronde reserva tions who sent one of our Congressmen to Washington by a small margin some years ago. If they were Intelligent enough to vote for a Republican Congressman as against a Populist, why are they not competent to express an opinion as to the needs of Oregon, or even to pass resolutions la voring the University of Oregon? It is amusing to note the various reasons given for the calling of the referendum upon House bill No. 37, that amends section 3o29, Bellinger and Cot ton's code, which gave the University of Oregon H7.5U0 annually and increases the sum to $125,000 annually and continuously and no reverting of funds to the State Treasury. One reason given was that It was "the outcome of the actions of some dis gruntled politicians." An Eastern paper had it brought by "some farmers in the Willamette Valley who had conscientious scruples against higher education." and who are denounced as "mossbacks." Lastly come the Manufacturers Associa tion of the Northwest who the other day stated in the resolutions passed favoring the University that it was caused by "Jealousies." All wrong, as I will briefly show. In the five minutes' talk I gave at the Y. M. C. A. parlors In Portland, the other evening, during the discussion of the appropriation measure, between Eu gene Palmer and J. Keaney. I explained the matter and will now do so again. The Legislature of Oregon, In 1905, passed what is known as the "omnibus appro priation bill," A referendum was in voked upon the same. It failed in the June election of 1906. mainly as there is good reason to believe because, thousands of votes were cast Just contrary to what was Intended. A prominent lawyer in Albany says he would have so voted had he not taken the second look at the ballot title, and my skeleton ballot now before me shows that I voted "yes" when I meant to vote "no," and I was nardly then in my dotage, though I may be so now. The failure of this referendum was a disappointment to many people, particu larly the farmers, but they "nursed their wrath" until Governor Chamberlain's veto of the University measure so brought that Institution Into the limelight that It gave them another occasion to referend. I was one of the Prohibitionists that did not vote for George Chamberlain for Governor, as Is claimed many did. I believe in sustaining an official who stands by the Interests of the common people, no matter what his politics, so I wrote a resolution commending the Governor for his exercise of the veto power and also one favoring a referen dum upon the J125.O00 appropriation for the State University. This was seconded by Kugene Palmer ' and unanimously passed by the Linn County council. After several weeks' delay, and at the Instance of some Marlon County grangers, a coun cil committee of three was selected, one a .Republican, one a Democrat and one a Prohibitionist a nonpartisan committee, and not "disgruntled politicians." With no means at hand save that se cured by voluntary contributions. we circulated our petitions, securing nearly 2000 names more than was necessary; iougnt tne opposition to our tiling our pe titions and won out in the Supreme Court. but failed In the Circuit Court for Mar lon county In getting a clear and leiral wording of the ballot title; as submit ted by Attorney-General Crawford, who gave it as embodied In the statute books: amending the section I have above given. wmcn increasea tne annual appropria tion for the University from J47.50O to JIS.OOO. Judge Galloway jrave the Unlversltv alumni more than they asked, for the ballot title names no sum, either past or present, and voters will be "all In the dark" when they go into the polling booth unless they post themselves beforehand. This is the massive wall we are "un against" and to this add the lack of the "sinews of war," while our odoo- nents have means to flood the state with their literature and take the stump In favor of the University. Under such conditions we mav lose the fight, but we will keep pegging away. I read with Interest the letter of Hon John Mlnto, of Salem. 'ip The Oregonian ""i wn-re ne expresses the hope that I will reconsider my action regard ing the- referendum. I have great re spect for that aged pioneer and other pioneers of like age who have written to me, but believing we are In the right in seeking to check the tendency toward extravagant legislation and to down the machine and the "boss" as has nnhlv been done by our referendum's twin There For Results Is a Reason RECOGNIZING that the per sonal and painstaking care of its officers Is essen tial, those in charge of this Institution keep themselves In close touch with every detail of ' our business, and this Is bringing us a generous and steadily Increasing patronage.
