TEST STRENGTH
ON VREELAND BILL
House Leaders Expect Victory
by Small Majority
Today.
SET TRAP, FOR' WILLIAMS
Democratic Leader Sees It and Will
OflVr Fowler Hill to Win Over
1 Insurgents, but Bosses May
Block His Scheme.
"WASHINGTON", May IS. At 4:30 o'clock
tomorrow the House will vote on the
Vreeland currency bill. The best in
formation Indicates that the bill will be
passed by a small majority.
When the House- meets tomorrow at
11:30 A. M.. a resolution or order will be
reported from the committee on rules, in
substance as follows:
That the bill be taken ur for con
sideration and passage; that amendments
be limited in number to one; that gen
eral debate proceed until 4:30 P. M.. the
time being evenly divided- between the
two sides of the House; that at 4:30 the
bill be voted on.
This resolution will be adopted under
suspension of rules by a rollcall vote,
which Is not expected to disclose the real
strength of the Republican insurgency,
for, while several of the insurgents un
doubtedly will vote against the rule in
order to give consistency to their past at
titude and subsequent action, others of
them will vote for the rule out of party
npirit and a desire to bring the whole
controversy to an Issue. It is to be ex
pected that the Democrats will vote solid
ly In the negative.
Trap to Catch William.
The purpose, of the regular Republican
leaders In allowing one amendment to be
offered to. the bill is to give the Demo
crats an opportunity to move the sub
stitution of "Williams' currency bill for
the Vreeland bill, the idea being that
some Democrats, after casting a com
plimentary vote for the Williams bill,
will, on the second and deciding vote,
support the Vreeland bill. But Williams,
the minority leader, declared today in
an Interview that he does not
propose "to walk into any such
trap." He said that, if the order
of the rules committee allows only
one amendment to be offered and the
choice of that amendment is given to
the Democrats, he will offer, not the
"Williams bill, but the Fowler bill.
Dodge Issue With Insurgents.
The backers of the Vreeland bill,
however, are of no mind to let Williams
do this. Their attitude is that" they
have work enough cut out for the mor
row without counting on a fight with
the Fowler bill. Hard feeling has been
already caused by the Ignoring of the
. reported Fowler bill, and the virtual
discharging of the banking and cur
rency committee from any further con
sideration of currency measures facts
which the insurgents, though only one
of their number Is positively committed
to the Fowler bill, have not been slow
to take advantage of In developing
their dissensions within the party
ranks. In view of all these circum
stances. It may be that the order to be
brought In tomorrow by the rules com
mittee will designate definitely the Wil
liams bill as the one amendment which
will be entertained.
Compromise Is Rejected.
Word got abroad today that some of
the Insurgents were willing to cast
their votes for the- Vreeland bill if
there should be eliminated from It the
Government-guaranty clause. A ten
tative compromise was thereupon of
fered, to the effect that those in charge
of the bill would consent to the in
sertion of the words, "or other securi
les approved by the Secretary of the
Treasury," as an alternative guaranty
basis for emergency currency. This
proffer was rejected.
As the leaders have issued strict cau
tions for all members to be in their
seats tomorrow at noon, it is expected
that the heaviest vote of the session
will be cast on the Vreeland bill.

RUEF CASE NEARS CLOSE
Prosecution to Complete Evidence
Tonight Grafters' Memories Fail.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 13. Assistant
District Attorney Heney. announced in
court at the trial of Ruef tonight that the
prosecution will close its testimony to
morrow night. Whether the defense will
put on any witnesses or not Is not known.
Mr. Ach and Mr. Murphy declined -tonight
to say what determination on this mat
ter they have arrived at. It is quite prob
able that the end of the taking of testi
mony will come on Friday, however, and
adjournment to Monday be taken, at
which time the arguments will be heard.
Following the testimony of ex-Super-vlsor
Charles Boxton, this afternoon, ex
Supervisor Max Memlock was put on the
stand tonight. The prosecution tried, on
cross-examination, to connect Ruef di
rectly with the bribery- of the ex-Supervisors
In the Parkside franchise matter,
and also brought up the telephone fran
chise matter, in an attempt to connect
the former boss with the payment of $3000
as a bribe.
Both Boxton and Memlock refused to
be drawn into direct admissions in re
gard to Ruef's connection with yie hand
ing of the money, although they rec
ognized ex-Supervisor Gallagher as -Ruef's
mouthpiece in those matters.
Mr. Heney attempted to have Coleman
testify the same as he had before the
grand jury relative to the Parkside brib
ery deal, at which time he - declared, ac
cording to the stenographic report of the
proceedings, that he had talked with
Ruef about the Parkside matter and de
manded the payment of the promised
bribes, but Coleman said he could not re
member. Coleman, in answer to Ach, conveyed
an impression that the Supervisors
Initiated graft Jobs ,and sent Gallagher
out to ascertain how much they could
get- He said his grand Jury testimony
was only explanatory.

ELECTRIC WXE TO HILLSBORO
Franchise Granted I'nlKMi Railways
Company by the Council.
The City Council, yesterday afternoon,
by unanimous vote, granted to the United
Railways Company a franchise for Its
interurban line from Portland to Hills
boro, by way of Mount Calvary Ceme
tery. The terms of the grant having been
thoroughly gone over by the Council and
Executive Board, and having been duly
fiubllshed, there was nothing 0ut of the
I ' - - 'X
ordinary ' in its passage. A simple roll
call settled the whole affair. All mem
bers were present but Kellaher, who is in
the East.
H. Wittenberg, one of the chief pro
moters, and Lawyer Emmons, were pres
ent, representing the company, but all
the preliminaries had been completed and
nothing remained out to cast the ballot.
The franchise has 25 years of life, and its
terms are very strict. It is said to toe the
best franchise 4n its terms of protection
to the city ever passed by a Portland
Council. One section makes it impos
sible for the company to operate any cars
on the system until the, lines are com
pleted between this city, Hillsboro and
Mount Calvary Cemetery. This was put
in to insure -the rapid completion of the
road.
BIDS ON CITY PRINTING
New Paper Attemps to Get Contract
From Abstract.
Bids for city printing were opened yes
terday afternoon by the ways and means
committee of the City Council, and imme-
ately efter they were read it became ap
parent that a fight will be made by the
publishers of the Dally Guide to wrest the
work from the Portland Daily Abstract,
the present official paper. The bid of the
Guide was the lowest, being 18 cents per
agate inch, as against 22 cents per agate
Inch bid by the Abstract publishers. A
bid from the Evening Telegram at 2 cents
per agate line was received, but no certi
fied cheek accompanied It, and it was not
considered. The whole matter was re
ferred to City Attorney Kavanaugh for
an opinion as to whether the Guide is a
newspaper of general circulation.
The publishers of the Abstract, the city
official paper, declared to the members of
the ways and means committee that the
bid of the Guide is not properly to be con
sidered, alleging that the paper has Just
been started within the past few days for
the express purpose of capturing the city
printing, and that it is not a newspaper of
general circulation.
Mr. Kavanaugh will have a task to de
termine the question referred to him, as
the late Judge Frazer, in a decision along
similar lines in the case of the Abstract,
held that a class publication such as the
Abstract is a newspaper of general circu
lation, and upon his decision the Council
based its award for the official printing.
There has been constant complaint in offi
cial circles that the claee publications do
not reach enough people to be effeotlve.
CAR SEIZED BY POLICE
Improper Precautions After Case of
Smallpox Cause Action.
Seizure of a Sixteenth-stret car by the
police at Sixth and Washington streets
at 12:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon fol
lowed failure of the streetcar company
to call the car in for fumigation, as or
dered by the health authorities.
The fact that the motorman, R. W.
Mills, residing at Twenty-second and
Thurman streets, has a case of smallpox
at his home occasioned the seizure of
the car, for Mills went to work without
properly fumigating himself, the health
authorities say, and in consequence
scores of people were exposed to possible
contagion.
Deputy City Health Officer Parker first
learned that Mills was at work, and on
confirming the report, secured the num
ber of the car and notified the carbarn to
have car No. 100 called in at once for
fumigation.
The order was not obeyed, and when
shortly before noon Dr. Parker saw the
car still in commission, he decided to call
on the police. Detective Tlchenor was
sent out to get the car and he located it
at Sixth and Washington streets en
route through the city to the First-street
terminus. He at once boarded the oir.
excluded all passengers, locked the doors
and directed the motorman to drive the
car at . once to the carbarns. At that
place both car and motorman were thor
oughly fumigated.

evening, June 3. and will play a Thurs
day matinee and Thursday evening per

so tremendous an organization is the most
pretentious of their musical undertakings.
Damrosch brings his full complement of
men, his fine instrumentalists, Saslavsky,
concertmeister; Bramsen, the 'cello solo
ist; Leroy and Mme. De Moss, and the
programmes he is arranging for his three
Portland concerts are examples of his

BANK MEDIUMS
City May Stop Practice of
Crystal Gazing.
ORDINANCE IS INTRODUCED
New Edict "Would Exorcise Spirits
and Drive Clairvoyants Away
From Portland Would Slake
Secret Arts a Crime.
An ordinance forbidding any person to
engage in the practice of clairvoyancy,
the business of a spirit medium or any
of the many branches of the art of pry
ing Into the future, was introduced into
the City Council yesterday afternoon by
Councilman Cottel. The measure also
carries a provision, making it a misde
meanor for anyone to publish the adver
tisement of anyone who may undertake
to carry on any such line of work. It was
referred to the committee on health and
police, and will be considered at the next
committee meeting.
The section making It a misdemeanor
for any newspaper to publish the adver
tisement of any person engaged in any
of the branches of "the mystic art" wiil
probably be eliminated, as Dr.- Cottei be
lieves it to be unnecessary. Inasmuch as
the first section forbids the practice by
all persons of any such business.
If the Cottel ordinance is passed and
becomes a law, it will drive a horde of
so-called clairvoyants, spirit-mediums,
trance-mediums, second-sight artists and
such out of business in Portland. And
If it does this, it will accomplish more
than any man or organization has yet
been able to do. It will undoubtedly
make plenty of work for the police, as it
will be Incumbent upon the members of
the department to enforce the terms of
the law.
Councilman Cottel explained that he in
troduced the ordinance by request, but
failed to say who requested it, and even
when pressed for a statement as to its
origin, declined to make it public. There
fore, this part of the measure is en
shrouded in mystery that probably no
psychic artist could reveal without the as
sistance of Dr. Cottel.
It has, however, all the earmarks of
persons connected with a recent com
mittee, which held a few meetings and
was lost sight of. The committee con
sisted of ministers of the gospel, doctors
of medicine, and it sought representation
from various newspaper offices. Its ob
ject was to drive out all such persons as
carry on alleged illegitimate business,
included among which were those who
pretend to be able to see into the future,
and certain persons who were conducting
"quack" medical establishments. The
whole matter was brought on by the
death of a young woman, who is said to
have lost her life as a result of an illegal
operation.
ADVERTISING HAS SHRUNK
Jforris Tells Committee How Panic
Affected Xewspapers.
, , WASHINGTON, May IS. The select
committee of the House, which is in
vestigating the wood pulp and print
paper trust, is working hard to con
clude its work in time to make a re
port at this session of Congress. To
further this end, Chairman Mann today
announced that the committee proba
bly will hold night sessions. John
Norris. representing the American
Newspaper Publishers' Associat!6n,
was on the stand during the entire
day answering questions as to state
ments he had made during the inves
tigation. Mr. Norris said that there had been
a material decrease in the demand for
paper since December. He said that
a shrinkage in advertising began in
New York City about November 10th
last and that it averaged about 10 col
umns per day for each paper.
One paper, a Sunday issue, shrunk
130 columns as compared with the
corresponding Sunday of the previous
year. The average advertising In the
Sunday paper, he said, had shrunk
about 30 columns.
"What was the character of the ad
vertising that shrunk?" asked Mr.
Mann.
"It was largely of the luxuries, like
automobiles. There also was a shrink
age in real estate advertising."
"For what period of time did that
shrinkage continue?" asked Mr. Staf
ford. "It is still on," replied Mr. Norris.
Mr. Norris stated that, while there
SIMPLE! WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itchlnsr. Burnlnit Skin Disease Routed
Without Lite of Injurious Drugs.
Great inventors often have ISeen
praised for surrendering the secrets of
their discoveries. Practically the same
thing happened in the medical world in
the case of Dr. Decatur D. Dennis, the
eminent skin specialist of Chicago.
Dr. Dennis, in his own office practice,
discovered that pure vegetable oil of
wlntergreen, properly mixed with other
simple remedies was practically a sure
specific for Eczema, psoriasis, barber's
itch, salt rheum, and other itching skin
diseases. But the oil of wlntergreen
alone was found ineffective. It re
quired other mild ingredients such as
glycerine and thymol compounded with
the wlntergreen, to produce the real
eczema cure.
This compounded D. D. D. Prescrip
tion positively takes away the itch at
once the instant it is applied to the
skin. This vegetable liquid does away
with deleterious drugs so long used in
an attempt to doctor the blood, whereas
modern science has determined that
eczema is first and all the time a skin
disease.
If you want to know more about the
merits of D. D. D. Prescription, call at
our store. We vouch for this remedy,
