' ' U ' , - ' 1 n STRIVE TO DEFEAT OH 111 HOUSE : Insurgents Sharpen Knives to ' Get Speaker's Scalp at I Next Session. : MAY JOIN WITH DEMOCRATS 1'owlcr, Parsons and Others Are Willing to Let Them Elect House Rather Than Submit to Cannon's Rule. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash . teuton. Oct. 23. The Insurgent element In the House of Representatives prom ' Ises to make all sorts of trouble for th ' House leaders during the regular -! sion of Congress which opens in Le i cember. Representative Fowler, of ' New Jersey, angry because he was de prived of the chairmanship of the com i mittee on banking and currency, some ' time ago announced his Intention of antagonizing and denouncing the ! Speaker. More recently Representative Herbert Parsons, of New York, because h was denied membership on the In terstate commerce committee, threat ened to Join hands with Mr. Fowler. : And from time to time Was vociferous " Republican of insurgent tendencies have announced their unwillingness to rest un der Cannon domination. So It la fair to conclude that the Insurgents will do as much damage aa possible during the com ing session. Just as they had the aid and co-operation of a vast majority of the Rwnocrau in their fight last Mrch, so they count on Democratic support next Winter. The Democrats are only too- willing to Join In the tight to kep alive the Issue of t'annonlsm, for on the . issued formed during the next session they hope to make enough votes at the Congressional election In the ensuing Fall to gain con trol of the House ft Representatives. By this coalition they have nolhlng to lone and everything to gain. Beat Cannon at Any Price. Messrs. Fowler, Parsons et al. are not In the least concerned over the effect . of their fight against Mr. Cannon. pro Tided at hey ran ith rone the Speaker. -flint u their chief aim and ambition. " They are willing to go to fhe xtent of electing a Democratio House, if need '. be. in order to accomplish their purpose. "With them it la anything to beat Cannon. " They are not content to confine their fight within the Republican party; in . fact they will not consent to do thin. . . rThey prefer to make the fight In the ', House, where they can have tha needed ' co-operatlc(i of the Democrats. And In ! all this they are receiving the most cor- dial encouragement from the Democratio J leaders. Just what willVome of a prolongation 1 of the insurgent fight against Mr. Can non cannot be foreseen. Mr. Cannon un questionably is losing ground before the country. Cannonism promises, to become i a bigger issue in the next campaign than : it was In the last, and the cause of the : insurgents, regardless of its merit or lack of merit, is meeting with popular ap proval. Fear Democratic House, But it Is a!o true that in Republican .circles throughout the country there Is a ' profound fear that the tariff bill. If noth I ing else be considered. Is likely to bring about the election of a Democratic House in November. 1911. The keeping alive of j the Insurgent fight on Ir. Cannon most 'certainly will contribute to this end and i make It even more probable tha the Re ; publicans will lose the House. There is nothing on which to base a prediction i that this fear will temporaxllyjulet the I Insurgents: quite the contrary is more i likely true, for most of the Insurgents" ; would be willing to me a Democratic ! House In order to get Mr. Cannon out of the way. In the fight last March the Insurgents, with their Democratio allies, were not strong enough to overthrow Mr. Can non: they lacked 23 or 24 votes of enough to control. It will be Interesting to find out whether the opposition to Mr. Can non In the public mind has so Increased in nine months as to change enough votes In the House to make possible his overthrow or at least the overthrow of the House rules which make Cannonism povne. Tne insurgents believe they will have enough recruits to win: they also believe that some of the Democrats who .voted with the Republicans last ', March and who made possible the con ' 'nuance of the old House rules' with the ! Fitigerald amendments, wfll not. ..dare ' again vote with the Republicans, when : they themselves must soon go before their people for re-election. Can Only Change Roles. There may be something in this reckon ing, it may be possible for the insurgents, supported by the Democrats, to mate further changes In the House rules and curtail the power of the Speaker. There Is no possibility, however, that the In surgents can muster enough vote to take Mr. Cannon out of the Speaker's chair in the midst of his term. That is out of the question. The best they can possibly hope for is a further amendment of the Housw rules, and there Is considerable doubt If that can be brought about prior . to the organization of the House at the beginning of the 62d Congress, two years hence. By that time it is quite proba ble that the rules will have to be fur ther changed. regardless of the com-, flexion of that House. FIGHT LOOMS FOR FUNDS (Continued From First Pe.) and more apparent that some of the Western delegations will have no direct Interest, In It, for It Is a foregone con clusion that quite a number of states cannot hope to share In the distribu tion of such a fund particularly states that have already been over-allotted, or states that have no feasible projects to present. . It seems reasonably certain that the Fenate will pass the bond-Issue bill; there are enough WesWrn Senators In terested to push It through if they make the fight. But in the House the number of members directly concerned Is numerically weak, as compared to the whole membership, and there the Tight will be made against great odds. -' Personal Politics Suspected. While there is no doubt that the bond 4sue would be a sensible and business like move looking" to the early com pletion of works that ordinarily wll drag out for a number of years, the suspicion is growing that there Is con siderable personal politics In the move ment. Pome of the men who are most loudlv advocating the bond Issue are doing so In the hope of strengthening themselves politically. This is particu larly true of Senators and Representa tires who are soon to come up for re election. ,' notable Instance of this kind is Senator Carter, of Montana. Carter's term Is about to expire, and a fight, is to be made upon him. He needs all the help he car. get, and he looks to the transcontinental railroads that cross his state to help him In his time of trouble. The Great Northern has long been prodding Carter because it believed that not enough government Irrigation work was being done along .its line of road in Montana, and notice has been served on the Senator that ne must get busy. Carter, therefore, is strongly in favor of .the bond Issue", for he believes that out of the $10. 000.000 he ought to get not less thon $3,000,000 or $4,000,000 for the Milk River project in Montana. The Great Northern has put It up to him to have this project rushed to completion, and this Is the most feasible plan that has yet present Itself to him. Senator Warren, of Wyoming, is an other strong advocate of the bond issue and has been Interviewed recently as favoring the immediate Irrigation of a big tract of land in what is known as the Goshen Hole country in Wyoming. The big Pathfinder dam in Wyoming 1 storing an enormous quantity of water, but the only diversion is being made In Nebraska, and thus the water of Wvomlng is beln utilized to Irri gate lands wholly within a neighboring state. The Pathfinder dam is storing more than enough water to irrigate the Nebraska land: enough, it Is said, to irrigate the Goshen Hole country as well, thus giving Wyoming at least a fair share of the benefits frpm a big storage system lying entirely wltnin that state.' Naturally. Senator Warren, who is soon coming up for re-election, wants this Goshen Hole project started, and started at once. He cannot get along with less than $4,000,000 of the $10,000,000 to be raised by bond issue. Three States Want Recognition. Senator Borah, of Idaho, was the man first to propose the bond Issue, and as the originator of the scheme he natur ally will insist that his state should be liberally recognized In the appor tionment. The Payette-Boise project needs about $10,000,000 to bring 1t to completion: it is an expensive under taking at best, and from the Idaho standpoint at least $4,000,000 should be allotted to the Payette-Boise project in order to hurry the work along. Over in Washington a Vast and com prehensive Irrigation system has been undertaken a work estimated at the outset to require 15 years for completion. Senator Jones has always been .a staunch friend of all Irrigation move ments: the Yakima Valley has "demon strated the value of Irrigation, and good men are waiting on the sagebrush desert of that region for water from the , Government project. Certainly where water, will make almost value less land worth $2000, $3000 and $4000 an acre, as it does in the Yakima country, a paltry $4,000,000 or $3,000,000 ought to be diverted to the Yakima project. Good business demands that it be done. The state of California has never re reived Its full share of benefits under the reclamation act. The Saqramento Valley is demanding a Government project, and a mighty big and mighty expensive project at that. If $10,000,000 is to be made available Immediately for Irrigation, the California delegation will insist, as the price of Its support of the bonding legislation, that $4,000. 000 or $5,000,000 be set apart for the Sacramento Valley project. And so It goes thtough the list of states. But up to the present time It has not become apparent that Oregon, away behind in its benefits under the reclamation law Is being figured upon aa one of the possible beaeftclarles under the bonding plan. The Malheur project is at a standstill. and appar ently likely to remain in a chaotic state for some time. Central Oregon has no Government project, and no im mediate prospect of getting one. Yet It noon Is to have Its first railroad, which would doubly Justify a Govern ment enterprise In the midst of the arid 'section. If California Is entitled to a share of the $10,000,000 for a new project, why not Oregon T And If Cali fornia and Oregon, why not some of the other states that have never been bene fited in proportion to the amounts they have contributed to the reclama tion fund? Evidently $10,000,000 is far from suf ficient to satisfy the demands that will Lbe made if a bond Issue Is authorized; r . , - i ,a nnn AnI enw a It. TOUia IBKQ .lv.vvv.vvv " ... . . ,. considerable period of years to satisfy everybody. And such a proposition as that, notwithstanding it makes no tax whatever upon the Federal treasury, would be extremely difficult to -slide through Congress. The only way trouble can be avoided will be through an apportionment made In the legislation authorizing the Issue of bonds, and If that apportionment Is not very general, the legislation will have little active support. SAIV BODY FLUNG AWAY FRITCH'S CnAUFFETR TELLS OF SCEXE AT CREEK. HOURS' STRETCHED TO BEAT NEW LI Customs Officials Must Work Overtime on Saturday to Save Duties. SHIP RACES WITH TARIFF Three Sacks Containing Girl's Body i Tossed From. Bridge fcy Detroit Doctor. ' DETROIT. Mich.. Oct. IS. Dr. George A. Frltch today was heldfor trial In the Recorder's Court on the "charge of man slaughter in connection with the death of Miss Maybelle Mlllraan, of Ann Arbor. Miss MUlman's body was found In three sections la sacks in Ecorse Creek and lower Detroit River early In September. The police decided the body showed evi dence of an operation. The "sensation of the hearing was a dec laration by Joseph W. Leach, a chauffeur, that on August 27 he drove Dr. Frltch to Ecorse Creek, where he threw three mys terious sacks into the water. ' "Have you been killing someone?" the chauffeur testified he asked Dr. Fritch, when the latter asked him to call with his automobile and told him ho was in trouble. "You are not supposed to know any thing." wasthe response Leach said ha received. "When I called for the doctor about 9 o'clock," Leach testified, "he brought out a newspaper package, perhaps 18 inches long and said for me to drive to his house.. We drove into the alley behind the doctor's house and under the doctor's direction I took half a dozen bricks from a pile in the alley and put them In the automobile. While I was doing this the doctor went into the yard. He returned without the package and we drove "back to his office. Tlie doctor brought out a sack that was heavy enough to require him to carry it with both hands. Then he returned and brought out two more sacks, one in each hand. He put a re volver In his pocket. -. - "We drove with the packages a little distance beyond the bridge that crosses Ecorse Creek and the doctor got out and tpld me to turn around. Then he stood on the side step of the machine while we rode back to the bridge. On the bridge he opened the door and threw the sacks Into the creek. Then he rode back to the city on the front seat with me. "H,e ' said If anyone asked me where I had been I was to say I had taken a party to a roadhouse. He gave me $36 1 and told me not to worry about a cm I owedt lilm. When he'told me he had another package' to dispose of I said I could not get away to attend to It. "Since then 'I have seen the doctor several times, once by appointment. At his office he told me that 'her chum' was nosing around and he had told her he sent llaybelle to some other doctor. "I told the doctor I would not say any thing to anybody because I was too scared." Atlantic Liner Hurrying to Land Cargo From France Retaliation War Unlikely M. Jusserand Is in Compromise Role. WASHINGTON, Oct 25. What Is re garded as a distinct concessloif to Import ing Interests and to France was made by the Treasury Department today In . di recting the Collectors of Customs at the various United States ports to keep Custom-Houses open until 4:30 P. M. next Saturday, October 30, on which date the commercial agreements . with France, Switzerland and Bulgaria will expire. The purpose is to give every facility to Importers to enter goods at the reduced rates of the expiring treaties, and applies particularly to New York and a few other cities where the Custom-Houses close ordinarily at 1 P. M. on Saturday, in deference to local law or customs. - The decision fixed October SO as the date of the expiration of the agreements Instead of the 31pt, because of the latter date falling on Sunday. Holiday 'ot Recog-nlaed. The acts of Congress do not recognfze Saturday afternoon as half holidays and the executive department's of the Govern ment at Washington therefore remain open until 4:30 every Saturday, the same as other week days, except during the Summer. A French trans-Atlantic liner is making a race against time In order to get fi. cargo of goods In under the lower rates provided by the present agreement. The steamer Is scheduled to arrive early Satur day afternoon and today's extension of the hours probably will permit the en trance of the goods under the- expiring agreement. . With the return to-Waahington of Am bassador Jusserand the negotiations be tween France and America regarding ap plication of the new tariff act to French imports were resumed. Tariff War Unlikely. There is little danger of a tariff war. Neither country, it is pointed out. can afford to embark on such a suicidal policy as wholesale retaliation, nor is there any .necessity for it. It is true France must submit to higher duties upon exports to the United States, but so long as It does not discriminate against her, she can have no serious ob jection. v While M. Jusserand Is diplomatically silent as, to the course he is under in struction's to follow, there is reason to believe that his purpose is to make th best of thesltuation and to secure the minimum tariff rate for French prod ucts entering the United States in re turn for the smallest possible amount of concessions of similar reduced rates on American imports into France. France May Shade Duties. The Ambassador has this considerable advantage: That France can shade her concessions, while the United States must grant the minimum rates on all or none of the French products. If Senator Aldrich, In his address in France, correctly represented the Admin istration, It would not be necessary for France to aocord the minimum rates on United State Imports in order to secure the resubmission of the maximum rates on all of her imports into the United States. All that would be necessary for her to do would be to satisfy the Presi dent that she is practicing no Improper discrimination against the United States and that might be done even by the re tention of maximum rates, of tariff on a considerable . number of articles which now enter France from this country. American Prodncts Favored. If the President can be convinced that such is the- fact.' there, can be no doubt he will be willing to Issue the proclama tion required to admit French goods and products to the advantages of the mini mum schedules of our new tariff act and that is believed to -be the present pur pose of the French Ambassador. American products now enjoy the mini mum French tariff rates, such as canned meats, fruits, pork, coal oil and Porto Rican coffee, so that the French gov ernment has much to offer for the con cession she asks and It will be the busi ness of the Ambassador to get the most he can for what he can offer.

Gaston Tompln, of Paris, said to be a member of the "Apaches" and for whose appre hension a reward has been offered by the Parisian police, was shot and killed tonight in a revolver duel with Jean Picard,' foreman of a local dye works.
