TAFT'S SOLE CRITICISM
Opposes Taxation of Holding Com

May Be Revised Demo
crats Bluntly Ignored.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The House and
Senate conferees on the tariff bill this
afternoon mapped out the programme for
the many sessions they must hold to
make the final draft of the measure. An
agreement may be reached In 10 days,
though the. House conferees are expected
bitterly to contest many of the Senate
amendments.
Senator Aldrlch and Representative
Payne are fearful lest the final action on
the onference report In the two houses
be delayed, and an effort Is being made
to have President Taft take part in the
threatened controversy.
Will Agree on Senate Lines.
According to report. Mr. Payne sought
to have the Republican conferees named
In order of their seniority on the ways
and means committee. The Speaker
rhose the conferee himself. ignoring
Representative Hill of Connecticut and
Representative Nedham of California
Friends of Chairman Payne are authority
for the statement that he made a vigor
ous protest. Mr. Payne Is said to have
told his friends that he believed the con
ferees had been chosen with a view to
putting the tariff bill through as speedily
as possible along Senate lines. By this
was meant that the House conferees
were expected to acquiesce In- the princi
pal increases that have been made by the
Senate.
Taft' 8 Only Criticism.
The President this morning questioned
Mr. Aldrlch concerning many of the
amendments made by the Senate, but it
la said he did not critic! any of the pro
ceedings in that body except the accept
ance of an amendment to the corporation
tax provision, making It applicable to
holding companies. The inference gained
by Mr. Taffa callers today Is that he
would not sanction the adoption of an
amendment taxing the net earnings of
corporations unless the utmost caution Is
taken to prevent double taxation. After
th conference with the President, Mr.
Aldrlch said that It might be necessary
to redraft the corporation tax provision.
Aldrlch Snubs Democrats.
All of the conferees met in the Senate
office building at 6 o'clock. They were In
session about an hour, when the Demo
cratic members were dismissed. Mr.
Aldrlch frankly told the minority that the
majority would prepare Its report without
assistance. No protest was made by the
Democrats.
STORM IS RAISED IX HOUSE
Insurgents and Democrats Denounce
Senate Amendments.
WASHINGTON. July 9. The tariff bill
is now in the hands of the conference
committee. After an hour and a half of
debate the House today, by a vote of 178
to 161. disagreed to ;the Senate amend
ments. Eighteen Republicans voted
against sending the bill to conference,
and one Democrat voted with the Repub
lican majority.
When the House met at 12 o'clock in
terest was at fever heat. The leaders on
both sides had notified their forces to be
on hand. In anticipation that the tariff
bill would come over from the Senate.
In answer to the summons nearly every
member was present. The debate at
times waxed warm and disclosed the fact
that there were some Republicans, in ad
dition to the "Insurgents" who were yet
t be pacified before they would vote
for the final passage of the bill. The
Democrats held up the majority party to
scorn for having, as they charged, vior
lated its ante-election pledges.
Will Make Senate Explain.
A feature of the discussion was an
appeal by Chairman Payne to his col
leagues to send the conferees to the
'Senate unhampered by instructions.
Ka promised to exact an explanation of
every amendment made by the Senate,
in order that the House - conferees
might report back a bill that would
meet the approval of the country. His
appeal was granted.
At 3:26 P. M. adjournment was taken
until Monday noon, when the Joint res
olution providing for the submission to
the several states of the Income tax
amendment to the constitution will be
considered.
The committee on rules met after
the House took a recess of an hour
and decided to bring In an order for
the reference of the . bill 'to a commit
tee on conference as requested by the
Senate, the House meantime disagree
ing to the Senate amendments. When

Rockefeller Also Releases Trustees
of Foundation Fund From
Holding Principal Intact.
NEW YORK, July 9. John D. Rocke
feller today Increased his donations to
the General Education Board by a gift
of $10,000,000, and also released the
board from the obligation to hold In
perpetuity the funds contributed by
him. The gift brings Mr. Rockefeller's
donations to the Education Board to
$52,000,000. It was contributed, ac
cording to Chairman F. T. Gates, of the
board, because the Income available for
appropriation had been exhausted, and
a large income to meet important edu
cational needs had become necessary.
Mr. Rockefeller's action empowering
the board and its successors to distrib
ute the principal of funds contributed
by him upon the affirmative vote of
two-thirds of Its membership. Is said
to have been taken in consideration of
the possibility, now remote, that at
some future time the purpose of the
Rockefeller foundation might become
obsolete.
Since the inception of its foundation
for higher education in 1905, the Gen
eral Education Board has subscribed to
the colleges of this country $3,937,000.
The colleges to which the subscriptions
have been made are to raise supple
mental sums amounting to $14,037,500.
Thus far but one institution has failed
to raine the supplemental fund required
by the terms of the board's pledge.

SEATTLE, Wash., July 9. (Staff Cor
respondencesThis was Oregon's day to
shine, and if the grand free distribution
of Oregon enthusiasm does not pay divi
dends, then there Is no such thing as the
gift of prophecy.
The brilliant observance of Oregon day
culminated tonight in a blaze of musical
glory, when the Portland Festival Chorus,
300 count 'em, 800 strong, under the di
rection of William H. Boyer, gave a mag
nificent concert at the Auditorium. Even
people who are not particularly fond of
our town admitted that it was the big
event musically of the Fair to date.
The soloists were Rose Bloch-Bauer,'
Mrs. May Dearborn Schwab. W. A. Mont
gomery and4 W. T. Bowman. Each was
in fine voice.
Tremendous Ovation Given.
The tremendous auditorium, which
must seat 4000 people, was well filled
and the work of Portland's talented
musicians was received in the most
cordial possible manner. Mrs. Bauer,
after her singing of the "Stabat Mater"
group, was given such an ovation as
I have seldom seen accorded a singer.
The audience literally dtormino- th.
place. And that audience had a fairish
sprinKiing or Seattle folk In It, too.
Naturally we were all very much In
terested in the rendition of Father
Dominic's cantata "Beautiful Willam
ette.". It was lnspiringly done, . and
when the composer was discovered in
the house there was another wild burst
of! applause, led by Director Boyer and
the chorus.
Fair Oregon's for Day.
Mrs. Schwab and Mr.' Montgomery
made a splendid impression in the solo
roles of Sullivan's "Golden Legend."
Altogether it was a big night for our
state and a genuine inspiration.

the streets of Cairo were put to bed for

"Most People's Brains Are Cracked"
Is Another Assertion Made
Before Portland Club.
That modesty with which it has been
the custom to believe the fair sex is
enshrined is a misnomer, if the state
ments of Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman
are to be accepted as correct. Lectur
ing yesterday afternoon at the Women
of Woodcraft Hall. Mrs. Gilman de
clared woman's modesty was doubtful.
"She will expose two square feet of
snow white bosom," she said, "and then
shudder at exposing two feet."
But women were not alone in coming
in for censure. Everyone did. That is,
everyone who has a brain, or who
chooses to believe he has. The person
with a brain was told that In reality
the brain was hopelessly damaged.
"Cracked" was what Mrs. Gilman called
It. "That people's brains are generally
more or less cracked is shown by their
inability to accept new ideas, and the
disconnection between what they know
and how they behave," was one of her
expressions.
Then Mrs. Gilman told the women
that the instinct of a mother was only
an animal Instinct. She said that, ac
cordingly, only one women in 20 knows
how to take care of her Infants. "Tak
ing care of children cannot be done by
instinct." she added, and recommended
the foundlrrg of popular nurseries.
Instead of reproving children when
they ask questions, you must answer
every "Why?" said Mrs. Gilman. "A
child's behavior is like the measles
you must not strike it in. The princi
pal thing we teach children is how not
to do things."
Mrs. Gilman will speak at the public
library tomorrow on "Should Women
Work?"

Chosen Bride Stepdaughter of
"Silent Smith."
WILL INHERIT FORTUNE
Prince of Braganza, Son of Pre
tender, Known as Perpetual Fi
ance, Met Gfrl at Swell Ball
in New York.
CHICAGO, July 9. (Special.) Miss
Anita Stewart, stepdaughter of the late
James Henry Smith, of Evanston, who
was known throughout the country as
"Silent" Smith and who left an estate of
$30,000,000. is to be married to Prince
Miguel of Braganza, eldest son of Duke
Michael, pretender to the Portuguese
throne, according to a dispatch received
today from London. The cable says that
announcement of the betrothal was made
at the Austrian Embassy in the British
capital.
This news recalls the untimely death of
"Silent" Smith two years ago yhile he
was in Japan with his bride on their
honeymoon. He had married Annie Arm
strong Stewart, divorced wife of William
Rhinelander Stewart. Miss Anita Stew
art was the daughter of his bride by the
latters former husband.
Heiress of Large Fortune.
Anita Stewart was given a life inter
est in $402,904, with an additional $97,235
for her children, if she should have any.
The widow was given $3,000,000, but she
already had a large fortune in her own
right.
Prince Miguel ' is the grandson of ex
King Miguel of Portugal, and an officer
in the Austrian army. His name has
been mentioned -in connection with no
less than three other American heiresses
in the last few months. He was born
September 22, 1878. He Is the son of Duke
Michael by his first wife. Princess Eliza
beth of Thurn and Taxis, whom he mar
ried In 1877.
Prince Is Perpetual Fiance.
The prince has figured nearly a dozen
times within the last two years in re
ported international engagements and has
become known to American readers as
the "perpetual fiance." Miss Mary Full
man, of Chicago, Mrs. Samuel Sloane
Chauncey, of St. Louis, and an unidenti
fied "Miss Vanderbilt," of New Tork, are
among those who have been reported as
won by the son of the pretender.
His attentions to Miss Stewart have
been marked since she was presented to
King Edward by Ambassador Reld in

A
Kossuth Party In Better Shape to
Insist Upon Its Concessions
Front Government.
VIENNA. Austria, July 9. (Special.)
The postponing of a settlement of the
Hungarian crisis until Autumn is regarded
here as a serious tactical blunder, which
will only make the conflict between the
two halves of the monarchy more acute
later on. The Kossuth party dally is
growing in strength and popularity, so
that Hungary may be In a stronger posi
tion In the Fall to enforce its request for
the use of the Hungarian language in
the Army and to other national conces
sions long demanded. ,
The Imperial government then will be
in a tight place, because without the sup
port of the Kossuth party it will be Im
possible to persuade delegations to vote
the $100,000,000 required to cover military
expenditures in Bosnia and Herzego
vina last Winter.
The Emperor recognized this and
wanted to placate the coalition Cabinet
and give it a new lease of power, but
it seems that he was persuaded by Baron
von Aehrenthal, Minister of. Foreign Af
fairs, to change his mind. The Baron
now la savagely attacked by politicians
and newspapers for muddling up the
whole affair.
