Body Recovered by Watchman. Opening of the draw of the Burn-slde-strect bridge while a pedestrian was on the point of passing caused the death of a man not yet positively identified, shortly after 2 o'clock this morning.

MAY PREVENT ITS PASSAGE Heyhurn and Flint Both Given Basis for Further Opposition Addi tional Homestead Clanse Speci fies "Contiguous Land.,' ALLOWS ONE ADDITIONAL HOMESTEAD. PORTLAND, May 8. (To the Edi tor.) Does the dry homestead act, which recently passed the Senate, per mit one who has used his rlsht under the old homestead law, to take 160 acres more? L.F. Tea. The bill contains a clause giving; that right. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, May 6. If the 320-acre dry farm homestead bill passes the House this session, it 'will be necessary to secure a prompt agreement upon the bill in conference, in the event the Senate does not accept the House amendments, or the few enemies of the bill will be able to prevent Its final enactment. The bill as reported to the House differs somewhat from the Senate bill, and on some of, the House amendments there is sure to be a fight if the bill goes back to the Senate. For Instance, Senator Heyburn had Idaho eliminated from the Senate bill, and Senator Flint had California left off; the House committee restored both states, but cut out North Dakota. Ore gon, Washington, Montana, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona and New Mexico are in both bills, and will therefore, be included in whatever bill may ultimately be agreed upon. Heyburn May Object. While the Smoot bill was pending In the Senate, Senator Heyburn declared that Irrigable lands might be taken up under its provisions, notwithstanding the bill specifically stated that . it would apply only to "non-mineral, non-irrigable" lands, so, out of defer ence to his wishes, the Senate inserted the words, "arid and semi-arid," and then added a clause defining arid and semi-arid lands. The House commit tee regarded these provisions as superfluous and cut them out- It is presumed, therefore, that Senator Hey burn -will object to the House bill. In another important particular the two bills differ. As passed by the Sen ate, the bill contained a section waiv ing the residence requirement where lands do not contain a sufficient sup ply of water suitable for domestic purposes,- to permit of continuous resi dence. The House struck out this sec tion, and reported the bill requiring residence on all 320-acre homesteads. Additional Homestead Clause. There was also a difference of opin ion between the Senate and the House committee over that feature of the bill permitting present homesteaders to take up additional lands, until their aggregate holding amounts to 320 acres. This clause, which is not well understood in the West, reads as fol lows In the bill as it now stands: That any homestead entryman of lands of the character herein described (non mlneral, non-irrigable, unreserved and un appropriated surveyed public lands which do not contain .merchantable timber) upon which flnal proof has not been made, shall have the right to enter public lands subject to the provisions of this act, contiguous to his former entry, which shall not, together with the original entry, exceed 320 acres, and residence upon and cultivation of the original entry shall be deemed as residence upon and cultivation of the additional entry. CAKE AT GRANTS PASS Is Enthusiastically Received and Greeted as Next Senator. GRANTS PASS, Or., May 7. (Spe cial.)

Hough, who announced that Mr. Cake would be the next United States Senator. Mr. Hough assured him of the loyalty of Josephine County. Mr. Cake was en thusiastically received and was fre quently interrupted by aplause. This county presents an Interesting feature of the campaign, L. L. Jewel, Republican nominee for State Senator, and Dr. J. C. Smith, for the Lower House, are practically without opposi tion. They are opposed, as far as op position goes, by no Democrat, but by two Independents and Socialists. Those who have watched the political situation predlot a majority of between 400 and 600 for Mr. Cake. The com mittee, though decidedly pro-Fulton, will be unlnstrncted.

RAILWAY MAGNATES MEET PRESIDENTS OF EASTERN LINES DISCUSS RATES. Favor General Advance in Freight Tariffs, but Reach No Defi nite Conclusion. NEW YORK. May 7. Presidents, of practically all the leading railways east of the Mississippi River were in con ference at the Trunk Line Association office today, considering the question of a general advance in freight rates. The scale now prevailing with New Tork to Chicago as a basis divides rates into six classes at from 75 cents to 25 cents per ton. No conclusion was reached today, but the advance most favored calls for an increase to 85 cents as the maximum and 20 cents as the minimum. The en tire matter will be left to the traffic of ficials of the roads Interested for solution. They are likely ' to submit their reports by July 1, but such advances as may be recommended will hardly go into effect before November 7. The importance of the meeting may be Judged from the fact that those in at tendance include E. H. Harriman, Presi dent McCrea, of the Pennsylvania; Presi dent Newman, of the New York Central; President Underwood, of the Erie; Presi dent Murray, of the Baltimore & Ohio, and President Thomas, of the Lehigh Val ley. MAY OPEN' PORTLAND GATEWAY Interstate Commission Will .Investi gate Clash Over Rates. CHICAGO. May 7. The Interstate Commerce Commission has decided to make an inquiry into passenger rates to the Northwest over the Harriman lines. The inquiry will be directed to the reasons for the Hill lines keeping the Portland gateway closed. The Hill management has always refused to Join the Harriman roads in putting in Joint tariffs to the Far Northwest through Portland. Accordingly, the Harriman lines have been compelled to resort to the. practice of canvassing trains before reaching Portland for the purpose of as certaining who desired to go beyond, and then give such passengers free tickets over the Hill lines. This is regarded by the Commission as an unsatisfactory con dition, and there is a suspicion that It will compel the opening of that gateway is possible. DISCUSS PRESIDENT'S POWERS Senators Worry Over Order Allow ing Railroads to Raise Rates. WASHINGTON, May 7. Senator Cul berson, of Texas, called attention of the Senate to the newspaper publications to the effect that the President and the In terstate Commerce Commission had agreed to allow the railroad to Increase freight rates. This suggestion precipi tated a discussion to the powers of the President of the Commission to make such agreement. The Senate passed a bill appropriating $5000 toward the erection of a monument at Pocahontas at Jamestown, Va. Show How They Got Lands. WASHINGTON. May 7.

Chair man Vreeland does not expect the com mittee to perfect the bill earlier than Monday. Representative Prince, of Illinois, of the banking and currency committee and one of the leaders of the Republican in surgency on the currency question, today in an interview said : "If the conference committee presents to the conference next Monday night a genuine bill and the conference adopts it and orders It referred to the banking and currency committee with instruc tions to report it to the house, that Instruction will be promptly obeyed by the banking committee, irrespective of the Incorporation in the measure of com mercial paper on a basis for currency circulation. "If, however, the conference merely reports as a bill the title of the Aldrlch bill that is to say, reports Senate bill 23 with ail after the enacting clause stricken out, and it Is adopted by the conference and sent to the banking and currency committee with instructions to report that instruction will not be obeyed. The Republicans do not want the Aldrich bill; the Democrats do not want It; the people do not want it, and the banking and currency committee will be party to no attempt, open or covert, on the part of the Republican leaders to put that bill through the House by whip and spur or slip It through by trick.

Then the City of Breslau, regretting that It had parted with the ox below its price, demanded Its return from Herr Drey. The-city fathers claim that, without their permission, no one had the right to sell the "Golden Ox." Should Herr Guttman refuse to return the object, Herr Drey is to be prose cuted and called upon to pay to the guild the real value of the work of art $8000. Herr Guttmann, on his part, stoutly refuses to give it up. The first legal steps have already been taken, and It remains to be seen whether the upper court agrees to try the case. Herr Drey certainly bought the "Golden Ox" from the head of the guild and made payment In cash. Herr Guttmann also acquired the ox in a perfectly legal way, and, as a connois seur very appreciative of his treasure, he wishes to keep It.
