HOLE PUNCHED .IN BILL
(Continued from First Page.)
lngton members were Insulted. On the
entrance of one Tacoma Senator, we were
turned down cold. This bill you are now
considering Is the one presented under
the Instructions of the Honorable Execu
tive to one Senator from the Second Con
gressional District. We. who live in the
district, believe we are the most vitally
Interested and that we should have had
the right to be consulted and put our
views on record."
Threats Made to Get Even.
For the purpose, he said, of "showing
how the fathers of this movement are
handing out the dope to those who oppose
It," Mr. Beach read a letter from Chris
topher W. Horr, president of the Direct
Primary League, addressed to a member
who opposed the judgeship primary bill
In which letter Mr. Horr threatened the
member with defeat if he ever came up
for office again. Beach closed by call
ing Horr a "political mountebank."
Shutt and Bell of Pierce, and Jackson
of King, spoke for the bill.
"The- member from Mason bas simply
appealed to prejudice against the Gover
nor and Senator Ralph Metcalf." de
clared Shutt. "I would like to see the
bill argued 'on Its merits."
Bell declared that It had been urged
to him that Taooma. could control the
nomination without a doubt if left to the
convention method. "But I am not In
favor of snap Judgment," said he.
Factional Lines Are Drawn.
The vote on final passage stood: Ayes,
50; noes. 14; and was very closely along
administration and antl-admlnistratlon
Unas.
A bill. In the drawing of which It was
announced Representative Weir, a liquor
dealer, and Senator Cotterill, prohibition
lecturer, had collaborated, passed the
House. Yesterday Web- offered a bill de
signed to permit women to patronise
rathskellers, but It was amended so that
the ournose of the bill was lost, al
though the bill Dassed.
Weir got Cotterill today to help him
draw a new one that would be satisfac
tory to all sides.
The House defeated the repeal of the
Wenatchee bridge appropriation, although
Bradsberry. the author, announced to the
House that the Governor had said he
"wished the Legislature had never
passed the damned thing."
The vote was 28 to 34.
Money Bills Are Passed.
Appropriations originating in the House
and aggregating more than J66.000, were
also passed. These Included J36.6S0 for
maintenance for the National Guard; $10.
000 for printing; $3800 for salary of an
Assistant State Auditor, whose office is
created by the bill; and $16,000 for cruis
ing State Capitol lands.
ONLY fiEEDSflFTER-CORE
HARRIMAN PULLED DOWN BY
BAD GASTEIJr WATERS.
Ocean Voyage and Country Life Ex
pected to Build Him Cp to '
Former Vigor.
PARIS, Aug. 20. Despite many alarming
reports that have been cabled from this
side about the -physical condition of E. H.
Harriman, It Is now stated by the highest
authority that Mr. Harrlman's condition
is by no means critical.
His physicians think his "after-cure"
on ship board and at his country home
will restore him to better health than he
enjoyed before he left America.
The cure at Bad Gasteln is most ener
vating, and it Is an invariable rule to send
patients of advanced years to some quiet
mountain resort, to take what is known
as an "after cure."
Mr. Harrlman's active temperament
made it impossible for him to settle down
to the humdrum existence, and his phy
sicians thought it best to let him have his
way and go home.
COMIXG HOME TO SECURE REST
Harrlman's Health Will Prevent
Business Activity for Weeks.
NEW YORK. Aug. 20. E. H. Harrl
man's return from his European trip
earlier than expected, is simply to ad
mit of his being in his home and to
obtain the rest he needs after his
treatment abroad, according to Alex
ander Millar, secretary of the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads,
who has been abroad with the railroad
magnate. Mr. Millar arrlye4 today on
the Mauretania.
"Mr. Harrlman's health la by no
means as bad as supposed on this side,"
said Mr. Millar.
"I do not think he will take any
prominent part in public matters for. a
few weeks after his arrival here." .
MAY PREVENT WEDDING
YOVSG EDWARD CCDAHT HAS
MARRIAGE POSTPONED.
Diseased Bone Examined by Experts,
on Whose Verdict Match
Depends.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) Owing to the alarming symp
toms of tuberculosis developed by Ed
ward I. Cudahy. Jr., son of the mil
lionaire packer of Omaha, bis ap
proaching marriage to Miss Nora
Brower has been postponed, while he
has been hurried to a ranch near San
Diego, where he Is now awaiting the
decision of a circle of physicians.
The young man's ailment was never
suspected until recently, when, after
a Jaunt with his fiancee and a party
of friends, he felt a severe pain in his
foot. He at first attributed it to the
effort of the walk, but later it became
so aggravated that a physician was
called and suggested that the trouble
was due to a tubercular bone in the
heel.
When Cudahy senior heard of the
nature of the ailment he Immediately
ordered the youth to San Diego for an
exhaustive examination by experts and,
if their decision Is adverse, the mar
riage may never take place, although
the engagement is not yet broken off.
LANDSLIDE IN STOCKS
Wall Street Throws Over Everything
in Selling Fit.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20. Another
spasm of liquidation came over the
stock market in the first hour this
morning on enormous dealings. Prices
of the more active Issues, suoh as the
Harriman stocks, Reading, United
States Steel and American Smelting,
declined two to three points. Excite
ment on the floor was Intense and the
stocks were thrown over at whatever
prices they would bring.
Aside from further rumors regarding
the health of E. H. Harriman no news
was offered to account for the sensa
tional decline.
During the day Union Pacific was
driven down to 20314, a decline of 34
since the close of the market last even
ing, but a short time before the close
support came to the Union Pacific and
other stocks that had been hammered
down and the .close saw all of them
Blightly above yesterday's close, the
recovery coming with a rush during
the last half hour of the day. It was
when the shorts undertook to cover,
and it was partially their own frantic
action that drove prices up on them.

DEBUTE REVOLVES
AROUND
PINCHOT
Denver Congress Commends
Forest Policy, but Asks .
Some Changes.
WANTS LAND SEGREGATED
Critics and Snpportera of Finch ot
Get Together Income Tax Sup
ported Hadley Speaks on
Railroad Rates.
DENVER, Colo., Aug. 20. The agita
tion over the Colorado forest reserves and
the activities of Glfford Pinchot broke
Into open fire before the Trans-Mlssis-sippl
Congress this afternoon, and after
a hot debate a resolution calling upon
Congress for a law declaring for a di
vision of the agricultural, mineral and
forest lands was passed.
The resolution was the one presented
by ex-Senator Patterson, of Colorado. The
feeling was abroad that It was an overt
attack on Mr. Pinchot, and this assertion
was made on the floor by Frank Gowdy,
of Denver.
Both Factions of One illnd.
Mr. Patterson said he had no Intention
of attacking Mr. Pinchot, and wanted
merely a settlement, once for all, of the
charge that Mr. Pinchot had overlooked
technicalities In reserving forest land.
The floor was alive with prospective
speakers until Mr. Gowdy offered an
amendement commending the forestry
policies of the Administration. This was
accepted by Mr. Patterson, and In turn
Mr. Gowdy accepted the Patterson reso
lution. Both were passed, and this ef
fectively, it is believed, stopped the for
estry dispute.
Many Resolutions Adopted. .
Resolutions to the following effect were
adopted:
That' the income tax measure become a
law.
That the tariff commission of experts
be placed in service.
That Congress pass a law regulating
the use of grazing lands.
That Alaska be given a Territorial Leg
islature. That Congress pass a law preventing
the collecting of Federal liquor license In
prohibition territory.
That aid be extended American ship
ping. Hadley Speaks on Rates.
The principal speaker of the afternoon
was Governor Hadley, of Missouri, who
dealt with the rate question In his State.
He declared that the railway rebate and
not the tariff was the mother of trusts.
He said that one man was responsible for
placing the blame where It belongs, and
for putting a quietus on the rate evil
with such force that it has not shown its
head since, and that man was Roosevelt.
He said he was not In favor of the Gov
ernment ownership of railroads any more
than the Government owned by the rail
roads. He closed bis address by declaring that
he believed the answer to the rate ques
tion was in making the. great Inland
waters navigable.
Unkind Words on "Uncle Joe."
Uncle Joe Cannon and his political
household came in for a scoring when ex
Judge J. B. Belford, of Colorado, sought
to show that the Commercial Congress la
dominated by "special Interests." Judge
Belford charged that delegates each year
are made to "listen to essays" carefully
prepared for the "Infantile mind," and
then to be explained by a few leaders.
"What's the use of millions of people
west of the Mississippi being represented
here If they have to sit still and be In
jected with a few spoonfuls of rhetoric?"
be asked.
"If this Is going to continue, we may
as well quit. If we are going to pattern
this congress after the fashion of our
illustrious National House and Its politi
cal czar, let somebody say so and lay
down the rules in black and white."
BALLINGER NOT CONCERNED
Has Had Nothing to Do With Alaska
Coal Land Cases.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. Acting Secre
tary Pierce, of the Interior Department,
today broke the silence hitherto main
tained regarding the part taken by Sec
retary Ballinger in the case of the Cun
ningham coal entries in Alaska. Mr.
Pierce said:
. "Soon after Secretary Ballinger as
sumed office some phases of those cases
came up officially before the Treasury
Department. The Secretary called me
and stated that he had been called Into
consultation about the cases before bis
appointment, and that he would have
nothing whatever to do with them, and
directed that all matters relating to them
should be handled entirely by myself and
the Commissioner of the General Land
Office. Since the Secretary assumed of
fice he has had nothing whatever to do
with these cases, and all matters relating
to them have been handled either direct
ly by myself or through the General
Land Office."
