MAY-CHANGE CHIEF
OF RECLAMATION
Ballinger Considers Putting
Business Man in Place
of Newell.
RETAIN HIM AS ENGINEER
Secretary Will Investigate on West
ern Trip and Then Decide De
termined to Be Boss of
Every Bureau.
- OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAV. Wash
ington. June 7. Unless there is a
-mnSe..0f Prsramme. F. H. Xewell
Z. L ,-re. from the offlce of Director
-t the Lnlted States Reclamation Ser
vice some time during the coming- Fall
probably to be succeeded by someone
nJLv ln the Government service.
Vho that man will be has not yet been
determined, but the indications are
that he will. In addition to an engi
neering education, have a comprehen
sive knowledge of the law. Mr.' Newell
unless he so desires, will not sever his
connection with the Reclamation Ser
vice, but will be retained as an engi
neer probably a general consulting
engineer.
About the time there was a change
or administration it was learned that
certain Western Senators were anx
ious to secure the removal of Mr. New
ell from offlce. That effort failed. The
agitation those Senators started was
of short duration. In time it completely
died out.
But it develops that Secretary Ball
inger Is not altogether satisfied with
the way the Reclamation Service has
been conducted. While he finds no evi
dence of corruption or crookedness, no
yielding to political influence, no flag
rant mal-admihlstration. he finds more
or less dissatisfaction, some little fric
tion, and what he is inclined to regard
as looseness.
Defects ln Administration.
Th situation, In brief. Is this: While
Mr. Ballinger finds no fault with the
engineering work of Mr. Newell, but
ha respect for his ability as an en
gineer, he Inclines strongly to the opin
ion that he can And a more satisfact
ory administrative officer to take gen
eral supervision of the Reclamation
Service to become Its business mana
ger, bo to speak. He recognizes that
Mr. Newell's abilities lie along the
lines of engineering rather than ad
ministration, and that fact inclines him
to the opinion that a change should
be made. By retaining Mr. Newell as
an engineer officer, he can save to the
Reclamation Sen-ice the valuable ad
vice of the present director on all prob
lems affecting construction, while by
appointing a new director he believes
he can overcome those unsatisfactory
features of administration which he
disapproves.
Mr. Ballinger is not ready to recom
mend a change at the present time, for
he desires to get more detailed Infor
mation before taking such a radical
step. rurlng the Summer the Secre
tary will go personally upon a number
of Government irrigation projects, es
pecially those that have given rise to
trouble. On the ground he will find
out for himself what has led to unsat
isfactory conditions and who is to
Maine. If Ms investigation fails to
bear out ills present impressions and if
he tliuls that no fault attaches to Mr.
Newell as director, he may alter his
plans, and Mr. Newell may remain at
the head of the Reclamation Service,
cm the other hand, if Investigation sus
tains the Secretary in the impressions
he now holds, he will recommend a
change on his return to Washington ln
the Fall.
The inclination of Mr. Ballinger to
urge a change is not due to the activity
of politicians- who have quarreled with
Mr. Newell; it is not due to the recom
mendation of any one. It is based on
l.is own experiences with the Reclama
tion Service since he became Secretary
of the Interior. As a Government ma
chine, that service is not running as
smoothly as might be desired: there
Is not entire harmony between the serv
ice and the present head of the Interior
department. On many details of ad
ministration the Reclamation Service,
under previous secretaries, has followed
a policy that does not meet with the
approval of Mr. Ballinger. He insists
that his ideas be followed by all
branches of his department.
Ballinger Boss Over Bureau.
Mr. Newell has not worked at cross
purposes with Mr. Ballinger, but rather
at his direction. Nevertheless there is
not that same bond between the serv
ice and the present Secretary that was
noted between the service and Secre
tary Oarllcld. t'nder Mr. Garfield the
Reclamation Service took the lead, and
the Secretary approved: now the Secre
tary takes the load, and the service
must follow his directions. Gifford
IMnchot, head of the Forest Service
through his intimate relations with
President Roosevelt, was able to assist
Mr. Newell in the old days. President
Roosevelt was an enthusiast over irri
gation; he had confidence in Mr. Newell,
doubly so because Mr. Pinchot vouched
for Mr. Newell. It was in a large de
gree because of this fact that the Re
clamation Service was an almost Inde
pendent bureau up to the time the Taft
Administration opened.
But President Taft is not a believer ln
Independent bureaus. He holds each
Cabinet officer responsiMe for the con
duct of all bureaus in his department.
It was so ln the Department of Com
merce and Labor, when he forced the
director of the census to resign because
that director was not working along
lines satisfactory to his superior, the
Secretary. So it will be ln the Recla
mation Service if Mr. Ballinger recom
mends a change.
Heretofore a thorough and practical
knowledge of engineering was consid
ered the first requirement of the head
of the Reclamation Service. But from
present indications it would seem that
business and e'xecutive ability, com
mingled with a practical knowledge of
the law. is regarded as more important
than capacity as an engineer.

Hopes Go Down.

is prohibitive and also said it made no
difference whether the rate recommended
by the committee originally or the rate
finally fixed by the Senate was adopted,
as both were prohibitive.
Amendment Is Lost.
About the middle of the afternoon the
Senate reached Its second vote, which
was on an amendment by Senator Dolli
ver to strike out fhe committee provi
sion fixing a duty of 1 cent a square yard
for the process of mercerization. The
amendment was lost by the unsually
close vote of 32 to 3S. The narrowing
of the margin was. however, due to the
absence of Senators rather than to the
conversion of the progressives to the
Aldrich standard.
Eleven Republicans voted with the
Democrats for the amendment, Senator
Jones of Washington, who has almost
uniformly voted to uphold the committee
on finance, voting with Messrs. Bever
idge, Bristow. Brown. Burkett, Clapp,
Cummins, Dolliver, Gamble. La Follette
and Nelson. One Democrat, Mr. Mc
Enery, voted with the Republican ma
jority. When Senator Dolliver offered an
amendment removing rubber goods from
the cotton schedule, under -which rubber
goods having any cotton in them, such
as lining, are required to pay a double
duty of 50 per cent ad valorem and 15
cents a pound, Senator Aldrich announced
that he would accept it for the commit
tee, and it was accepted by the Senate
without division.
It was after this vote that Aldrich
took occasion again to challenge the
attitude of some of the Republican
Senators who were contending for low
er duties. He charged them with play
ing the part of brigadier for the Demo
crats, and speaking of Beveridge de
clared he had associated with Demo
crats so long that he was adopting their
ideas. He characterized Beveridge as
the leader of the opposition.
Aldrich Asks Questions.
Both Beveridge and Cummins replied,
the former asserting that he was stand
ing on the Republican platform, while
the latter stated that he had so often
been charged with being a Democrat
that the charge did not worry him.
Launching into a discussion of the pro
tective system and its relation to "the
Republican party, Aldrich referring to
Beveridge, asked:
"By whose votes does he expect to
defeat the Republican party? Who is
marshaling the forces and shall it be
upon the platform of the Democratic
party."
He referred to the coalition of Dem
ocrats and progressive Republicans as
an "unholy alliance."
"I have respect for the Senators on
the other side of the chamber," he said.
"I have respect for some of the Sen
ators on this side," replied Beveridge,
"who believe that the rates of the ex
isting law' are too high, have always
believed it, and have always said it."
He referred to those Senators as be
ing consistent, but said a new propo
sition had been introduced which had
been taken up by the Democratic Sen
ators, and a few Republicans voting
with them.
"Their self-imposed mission of sav
ing the Republican party will not be
accomplished in that manner," he said.
Mr. Aldrich asserted that the Repub
lican majority could not be deflected
from its views by a combination that
said the party was to meet a Lexington.
Predicting Democratic advantage by the
division in the Republican party. Bailey
declared that Democratic votes for cus
toms duties could not be interpreted as
in favor of protection.
Dolliver Enters Fray.
Defending his own actions- in relation
to tariff revision. Dolliver said he was
not without company in high official cir
cles, and read a portion of Secretary
MacVeagh's speech delivered Sunday
night.
Smith of Michigan interrupted to say
that ' the Secretary entertained the same
views now that he did ln 1894, when he
was classed as a Democrat.
"Does the Senator suggest that the Sec
retary of the Treasury is wanting in Re
publicanism?" inquired Dolliver.
"He is in closest possible relation with
the President," he added.
"I cannot forget," retorted Smith, "that
while Benjamin Harrison was upholding
the banner of protection, the present Sec
retary of the Treasury left his party and
Joined the party of Mr. Cleveland for a
downward revision of the tariff."
Beveridge to Rescue.
"Does the Senator object to hundreds
of thousands of such men coming to our
party, especially when they include such
splendid men as the Secretary of the
Treasury?" inquired Beveridge.
"No." replied Smith, "but I decline to
hand them the banner under which I
have marched."
"When the Senator shows that the Sec
retary of the Treasury is not a proper
political associate for the President," in
terposed Mr. Dolliver. "I will admit that
I am not a fit assistant for the Repub
lican party as represented iri this cham
ber." In a defense of his position as a tar
iff revisionist Cummins said:
"I want the competition of the United
States, but I want the competition of
the world if necessary. The producer
is as much entitled to competition as the
manufacturer is entitled to protection."
Referring to a statement by Aldrich
concerning Senators who had shown "loy
alty" to the party by upholding the com
mittee on finance. Mr. Cummins declared
there was no man in rhe Senate who
could put him out of the Republican
party.
Aldrich as Peacemaker.
Mr. Aldrich disavowed any intention to
reflect upon the Republicanism of the
Senator from Iowa.
- "Unless you want to disintegrate the
Republican party." said Cummins, "there
should be an end here to direct or in
direct challenges of party faith "
Hteyburn declared that he was not
ready to admit that foreign competition

the night session. The Dingier rates
were restored on hosiery, making a re
duction of about 20 cents a dozen pairs
from the rates of the House bilL
Tomorrow the woolen schedule will be

Dolliver Champion of Poor.
At the night session Dolliver argued
against a duty of 50 per cent ad valorem
on cotton tapestry and jacquard figured
goods as affording too much protection
to American manufacturers. Smoot of
fered in evidence several samples of tap
estry and figured upholstery goods to
show that their value was a great deal
higher than the tapestry which Dolliver
exhibited. The latter said his was the
poor man's tapestry, which was valued
at from 80 cents to tl.
Mr. Aldrich said it would be impossible
to provide a separate clause for each
class of goods of the same character.
Dolliver suggested that the rate on tap
estry valued at not more than tl should
be 35 per cent.
Aldrich then offered an amendment
making the rate of 40 per 1 cent ad
valorem ' on goods valued at more than
$1. These rates were adopted.
Hosiery Matter Again.
Speaking on the hosiery schedule, Dol
liver said he wanted to know how
earnest and enthusiastic was the effort
in the Senate to restore the Dingley rates
on stockings. Speaking of the large dele
gations of women which protested against
raising the rates on stockings, Dolliver
told how they had descended upon the
finance committee' after having called on
the Speaker of the House.
"Most of these women wore silk hose,
too. I suppose." observed Mr. Galllnger.
"I have not investigated as to that,"
replied Dolliver, amid laughter.
The Senate rates re-enacting the Ding
ley rates were adopted, the members of
the finance committee having promised
further consideration of the subject in
conference.
In contending that the industry would
suffer if the duties on cotton knit gloves
were not increased. Lodge offered an
amendment for the finance committee,
making the duty 50 cents a dozen pair
and 46 per cent ad valorem on knit or
woven cotton gloves valued at more than
1.20 and less than $6 a dozen pairs, 55
per cent advalorem. Bacon demanded a.
roll call and the amendment carried 41
to 24.

EX-DEPUTY KILLS PRISONER AT
COURTROOM DOOR.
Political Quarrel ln St. Louis Leads
to Three Deaths; News of Last
Causes Cheering.
ST. LOUIS. June 7. Fred Meherle, on
trial for murder here, was assassinated in
the corridor of the Four Courts by Wil
liam Kane, an ex-deputy constable, to
day. Meherle killed Constable Sam Toung ln
North St. Louis several weeks ago. Wil
liam Kane, who shot Meherle today, was a
former deputy under Young. The shoot
ing occurred as Meherle was being taken
to court to stand trial for the death of
Young, and is the culmination of a bitter
political feud. Meherle had asserted short
ly after the Young shooting 'that th
"gang" had threatened to "get him," but,
following the ethics of the "gang." he re
fused to reveal the identity of the men
who had threatened him, saying that he
could take care of himself.
Kane used Young's revolver in killing
Meherle. When the shot Jang through
the building, William Wright, a co-defendant
with Meherle, became hysterical.
He begged to be placed In Jail. Judge
Fisher ordered him locked up.
Only a few nights ago Wright became
frenzied on the street and began shoot
ing wildly, under the impression that the
"gang" was after him. Alfred Nllson,
who was passing, was mortally wounded.
Wr right is also under arrest for this death.
Meherle killed Young April 4.
News or Meherle's death was received
with cheers at a nearby political meeting
a few minutes after the tragedy.

Mrs. Taffs Plea Induces President
to Commute Alaskan's Sentence.
WASHINGTON, June 7. Mrs. Taft has
saved the life of a man named Perovich.
convicted of murder in the first degree
at Fairbanks, Alaska, and sentenced to
be hanged.
President Taft was not Inclined to. in

not submitted the papers to Mrs. Taft.
She read them and, touched by their
contents, added her plea for commuta

Perovich had been tried and convicted
while Delegare Wickersham was United
States Judge in Alaska and the appeal
for commutation was recommended by
him. It was also recommended by Attorney-General
Wrickersham, but the inter
vention of Mrs. Taft completely swayed
the President's mind ln favor of mercy,
and he commuted Perovich's sentence to
imprisonment for life.

DO YOU KNOW WHY?
Do vou know whv the!
White Sale goes on prodig
iously without much advertis
ing by us? Not hard to un
derstand. WE DID THE
ADVERTISING LAST
WEEK. Did you ever be
fore, see such varieties and
qualities quoted? No? Wo
men who bought them are
telling their friends and, bet
'ter than that, are SHOW
ING their friends. This is
the very best advertising
any store can get, and we
are pretty sure that Lipman,
Wolfe & Co. gets more of it
than any store in the city.
This is simply to supple
ment what thousands of wo
men are saying to thousands
of other women :
For the best values extant in Muslin Under
wear, Waists, Blouses, Kimonos, Silk and Cot
ton Petticoats, Sacques, Negligees, Wrappers,
and the like, you should go visit Lipman, Wolfe
& Co. Original White Sale assortments are
practically unbroken.
