THE MORXING OIJEGOXIAX, THURSDAY, MARCH 11,.1909. CANNON CAUSES ENEMIES WORRY If He Wins May Ilame Minor ' ity Members of. House ; Committees. IGNORE CLARK AS LEADER Slay Also Include Insurgents as Part of Minority Democrats Plan Fig; lit on Rules on Floor of House. : WASHIXGTON". March 10. Insurgent .and Democrats were indulging In much speculation at the Capitol today as to what would bo the policy of Speaker Cannon In selecting the committees of the next Hou.se if lie is successful in the present tight. The Democrats are ap prehensive that the Speaker will as- Fume the right to fill the minority as IXiell as the majority places on the com Vrnittees. Several Democrats have ap pealed to the Speaker directly for ap pointment on certain committees. Cannon May Ignore Clark. AVhen John Sharp Williams was mi nority leader Mr. Cannon referred all such applications to the minority leacjer. He has taken no such action this time. Kricnds of Champ Clark, the minority loader, say he can interpret this course in but one way. There have been no conferences between the minority leader and the Speaker, and It is understood none is scheduled. The Democrats will make political cap ital out of the failure to recognize the minority leader. They will argue that this is another illustration of the des potic power of, the Speaker. Another Cause of "Worry. Anothrr possibility worrying both the Democrats and the insurgents is that the Speaker may classify the insurgents as minority members of the House and make tip committees on that basis. That would reduce the Democratic representation on the committees and might prove embar rassing to the insurgents. Clark and Insurgents Confer. ' Mr. Clark conferred today with Repre sentatives Xelson and Gardner of the In surgents. All said afterward that the .fight on rules was not to be abandoned, and it was denied that the Democrats and Insurgents had entered into an agreement as to voting for any .sj2cific rule. , The Democratic caucus probably will be held next Monday, before the House con venes, and will adopt a resolution in favor of carrying out the pledge of the Denver platform to reduce the power of the Speaker. Democratic Fig-lit on Utiles. On the floor of the House the Democrats will attempt to lead in the opposition to adoption of the rules. They will not allow that honor to go to the insurgents. The opposition of a large number of Demo- I'm t to the election of a rnmmittpft to "Beject the House committees probably will 'UtrtcuL nidi jj ; liii v 1113 JuouigiiM. n ail opportunity arises to consider that arnend "nient on the floor. The proposition to have the committee on rules elected by the 'House and to -bar the Speaker from the . 'committee will have more support from ! lie- Democratic sile. ' ! As an evidence of their desire not to In terfere with the tariff, the insurgent lead ens announced today that they were will ing for tlie Ppeakor to appoint the com luiltee on rules and committees. A con f mthc? of insurgents will be held Thurs day niyht. It is said by the insurgents that the attitude of President Taft will not affect their members in the least. A N T I -1 X J CXCTI OX IT AGAIX CuiIifyinR of Court Laws May Start Debate in Congress. " WASHINGTON, March 10. Through an attempt to codify and revise the laws affecting the Jurisdiction and practices of the Federal Courts, Congress may be brought face to face during" the special session with the necessity of consider ing tlie proposed anti-injunction hills and the equally troublesome questions if conflict with Federal and state courts. Within a week after the 61st Con gress convenes the joint committee on revision -of the laws will bo prepared to report on the revision and codification of the laws concerning the jurisdiction and practice of the Federal Courts. It is an ticipated that advocates of anti-injunction legislation will attempt to graft their hill on the judiciary codification. Kfforts will be made to have the Senate consider the codification before the tariff bill gets over from the House. When the Senate is considering the tariff measure, nn attempt will be made to bring the "codification bill before the House. The committee proposes to take, away from the Circuit Court all original juris diction, giving it to the District Courts and to change the name of the "Circuit Court of Appeals ' to "Circuit Court" and give all their appellate Jurisdiction to the present Circuit Courts. MAIUXES MAY XOT TIESIIIP Xew Xaval Secretary Inquiring as to Constitutionality of Provisions. WASHINGTON, March 10.

Sec retary of tlie Navy Meyer has asked the opinion of the Attorney-General regard ing tho constitutionality of the restora tion provision. 11AILEY CALLS OX PRESIDENT Visits Wliite House First Time in Years Likes Taft., Vi'A SH 1 NGTON.

LOUIS, March 10. A conference of the executive traffic officials of the Mis souri lines has been called here for to , morrow, to consider the action to ba taken In the restoration of passenger rates. TJe general passenger agents have decided to recommend full restora tion of rates t5 the chief traffic execu tives as early as possible. Iocal tariffs can be restored on ten days' notice, and all lines have made the necessary preparations in detail for tariff posting and distribution as soon as authority is given by the higher offi cials to put in the old rates. While it Is believed that action In that regard will be unanimous, some of the lines are favoring a rate of 214 cents per mile for the main lines' and 3 cents for the branches. They contend that If such a policy should be adopted the state au thorities would abandon all steps for an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States and all further rate liti gation will be dropped.

Dimock ran down the steamer Horatio Hall today after which the Dim lck went ashore a half mile south of the Orleans lifesaving station.

There is an unconfirmed report that the lifesavers- boat, which went to the assistance of the steamers, was swamped. The weather Is very thick with a strong Southwest wind. ' Conflicting reports were received here, one stating that the H. F. Dimock backed off in about 10 minutes and another stat ing that she was still aground at 2:15 P. M. It is believed she was southbound. The Orleans and Nuset lifesavers were taking off those on board the Di mock at 3:30 P. M as the sea was growing rough. It was believed that everyone would be landed before dark. Steamer Aground in Fog. VINEYARD HAVEN. Mass., March 10.

Western Men at Head of Movement to Center Wool Trade at Chicago in Hands of Flock Owners Themselves. CHICAGO. March 10. The election of officers of the Warehouse & Storage Company, and the laying of the corner stone of an immense warehouse, which, when completed, will accommodate 25. OCO.OOO pounds of wool, were -two steps taken today In a movement to make this city the wool center of the world. J. E. Cosgriff. of Rawlins. Wyo., was chosen president; A. G. Leonard, Chi cago, vice-president; R. B. Thompson, Chicago, secretary and treasurer. Western Men at Head. The executive committee is- composed of John F. Spoor. Chicago; W. Good ing, Shoshone, Idaho; T. XV. Boyer, Rock Springs. Wyo.; A. G. Leonard, Chicago, and J. F. Cosgriff, Rawlins, Wyo. The directors include beside the offi cers, L. L. Ormsby, Boise. Idaho; E. A. VanSlcklen. Welser, Idaho; W. Scott Anderson. Boise; Lewis Penwell, Helena; J. A. Delaflelder. Wolton, Wyo.; Thomas .Austin, Salt Lake City; Mark T. Cox, New York; J. W. Scott and . W. P. Hyples. Chicago. The building will occupy nearly two acres of ground. It likely wlil be ready for occupancy May 15 In ample time to take care of this year's clip of wool. It Is proposed to store at least 25.000.000 pounds of wool each season, and ar rangements are under way to increase the amount to . 50,000.000 the second year. The erection of this warehouse is one of the steps undertaken by the wool men of the West to handle their own crop each year, instead of selling the clip to Boston brokers. The success will mean that Boston will cease to be the prin cipal wool-handling city of the Nation. Agents PELLARD Tailor-made Suits For Women of Fashion AGENTS Robinson &WelI London Tailored Hats Entirely Exclusive w si " f: t &ab the Ad-Man Sees Around the Store ff THIS advertisement of Lipman, Wolfe & Company is written in an entirely dif ferent way from any others no department managers nor merchandise men have been consulted. These shopping suggestions are such as the advertising manager of Lipman, Wolfe & Company would give to his per sonal friends. T I would advise a woman to buy her tail ored suit today, because assortments tire now quite complete, the styles are fixed, and the time to wear the new styles is at th beginning of the season, before everybody else is doing so. fT I would advise every woman who can -1 pay $50.00 to $200.00 for a suit to buy a PELLARD suit, because it is a satisfaction to buy a suit bearing the stamp of a maker famous for his styles. The extreme models accurately forecast the effects of next Fall. Do not fail to see Lipman-Wolfe's show ing of the new wide barrettes and other novelties in hair ornaments and jewelry. Lipman - Wolfe's millinery section is three times its size of last year. Why? J Many new hats are shown today. We have never sold so many thousands of yards of pretty wash goods so early in the season. We not only have the fabrics and exclusive styles but everyone will be wearing the pretty, simple wash frocks of. the season. My word of advice is buy while the assemblage of patterns is still complete. Q It is really a fact that Lipman, Wolfe & Company show more exclusive patterns in new silks than all other Portland stores combined. Notice the genuine metalized rose hat 2:4 pins that the jewelry stores sell for $1.25 to $2.50. Our sale prices 29c. 48c, 69c. fj I notice today the new Automobile Handkerchiefs prettily embroidered on pongee. Not only novel, but stylish in a subdued way. 65c. fl The three-piece tailor-made suits are the real suit novelties of the season differ ent from the suits of last year and likely to become the Spring's recognized distinctive fashion. I noticed some handsome suits in this style in our Suit Section at $32.50. The department buyer tells me they are one of the best values he ever had at the price. The new Dutch collars that are going to be the season's fad are made of lawn, edged with lace. Irish lace neckwear is go ing to be very popular with women who can afford to pay $1.00 to $5.00. A full showing of all the new styles is shown at Lipman-Wolfe's. fl Among the distinctly fashionable novel ties for Spring I notice our showing of veils in two-toned effects, the new tailored, short gloves of kid and chamois, the Helen Taft sash pins, the new crepe materials in wool and cotton, the new satin-finish silks, a cotton rough pongee at 16 cents a yard, the new Rajahine waists, and many others. These are worth seeing at Lipman-Wolfe's today. (J If I were a shopper I would go down town today to see the new things, so as not to jostle with the end-of-the-week bargain crowds. And I would buy now at the opening of the season, when the fashions are really new. J I notice some exquisite etchings in the picture department framed in heavy mission hardwood frames. They ought to bring $3.50. The manager says that they were bought special and will go for 98c, just to get people talking about his picture bargains. There, are always odd lots about, ths - store. I noticed a hundred price placards on different counters announcing special sales. Shoppers today will find some good values. I visit from time to time all the book stores in Portland. Nowhere have I seen so many good special values in books of all kinds many well-known books that you jnight expect to pay double the marked prices for.

Sheldon, general agent for the Wisconsin Central lines. Mr. Sheldon states that Eastern buy ers have already contracted for 14.000.000 pounds, cr about 40 per cent of the en tire clip. The clip this year is estimated at 36.000,000 pounds, an increase over last year of about 2.000,000 pounds. Open Dry Kami Headquarters. DEXVER, March 10. John T.

NO POLITICAL INFLUENCE of the Supreme Court of the United States, has just come to light the fact that President Taft's lips fell upon a very significant passage in the Bible when, after taking the oath of office, he kissed the scred volume. Mr. McKen ney held for the Chief Justice the book used in connection with the administer ing of the oath. He presented It to Mr. Taft end after the latter had aworn to bear truth, faith and allegiance, he rev erently leaned over and touched. his lips to the open face of the book. They fell upon the third chapter of First Kfogs at the point of beginning: "Give, there fore, thy servant an understanding heart to Judge thy people, that I may discern between good and evil: for -who la able to Judge this, thy so great people?" Thla was the. prayer of Solomon at the beginning of hla reign, and, the pas sage closes with, the statement that the prayer was answered because of Us vn. selfish, character. rri j . -J r.TT I r. . , H W 1 I J fS JJi 'II f S-w ' ZI.

I "u oy . iiairman Knapp. conferred to day with President Taft and announced that they were to have another confer ence, but they would not dlecuss the mat ters under consideration. It is understood that the President droired to be fully In formed as to the afTuIrs of the Commis sion and devoted much of the time to these inquiries. The President Instructed Attorney-General Wlcken-ham to choose his assistants without consideration of political influ ence or political services rendered. Tills policy was derided upon by the President after a conference with Secretary Knox and Mr. Wlckersham. One cause of friction at the Department of Justice which M. Wiekersham will en deavor to smooth over Is the appointment of attorneys by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Cnder the policy laid down by Mr. Taft. It is tfr.ired to have the Commission, on the completion of inves tigations, turn the results over to the De partment of Justice Instead of having the attorneys try to carry their own cases to the courts.
