Twentieth Century's Members
in Chicago Invite Satirist
to Address Them.
BUT SOME MAY WALK OUT
l.o Gallieune Called Charlatan by
President, Who Also Assails
His Opponent Some Would
Hare Foot Explain.
CHICAGO, Dec. 5. (Special.) If
"William Watson, the British poet who
included among the verses In his re
cently published volume a bitter lam
poon on Mrs. Margot Asouith. wife of
Great Britain's Prime Minister, and her
step-daughter, Violet. entitled "The
Woman With the Serpent's Tongue,"
should come to Chicago to speak be
fore the Twentieth Century Club, he
will not find all of the members pres
ent. Some of them hold that Mr. Watson's
reputation as a poet a recent critic
placed htm before Rudyard Kipling as
the present-day mouthpiece of the
Knujlish people should not carry suf
ficient weight with the club to cause
its members to overlook the offense of
this verse. Accordingly they will not
be among those present.
Some Withhold Judgment.
Other members, who do not condone
the offense, say that so far Mr. Watson
has had an ex-parte hearing only and
they are suspending judgment until
his version of the controversy has been
given to the public. Even the most lib
eral affirm that discretion would seem
to be the better part of candor in talk
ing with the author, and declare that
all private matters will be left at home
when Mr. Watson comes to town.
On the other hand. Mr. Watson's en
emy. Richard le Galliene, who in this
Instance has constituted himself the
defender of women in the abstract nd
has taken up the cudgels against his
brother versifier, received short shrift.
r was dubbed "a charlatan" and a
"man who lived for advertising only"
by one of the members.
Confidence Violated Alleged.
"If the reports from New Tork are
true," said Franklin H. Head, president
of the club, "it would seem that Mr.
Watson has been talking pretty freely
about matters confided to him in pri
vate. In other words, he would seem
to have violated a confidence. Of
course we should not judge until we
have heard the facts, but I dare say
none of us would say anything In his
presence that we desired to have kept
secret. It may be that -someone wished
a little advertising."
At this juncture Le Calliene's name
was mentioned.
"O. he lives only to advertise him
self," said Mr. Head. "He is a charla
tan, pure and simple. I thought him the
most transparent sort of fraud.'
Secretary Invites Poet.
William Morton Payne, the club's
secretary, who invited Mr. Watson,. said
he did not know whether the poet
would accept.
"I invited him as a matter of course,"
he said. "The club invariably seeks to
entertain men of his distinction when
they visit Chicago. As far as I am
concerned. I know nothing of the mer
its of this squabble. I find it difficult
to reconcile what has been said with
my notion of" the poet. If he accepts
the invitation I shall be his official
host, so, of course, I should be excused
from saying."
Le Verne W. Noyes said that he, at
least, would remain away should Mr.
Watson speak.
"If the published accounts of the
matter are to be credited," he said,
"the offense was Inexcusable. No man
should treat a woman In that way, and
his act. If he does so, should not be
condoned on account of his promi
nence." "Will you protest against his ap
pearance?" was asked.
-Why. no," was the reply. "I should
not think of doing that, but of course,
I can stay away."
CALL FOR GOLD STIFFENS
Speculative Sentiment in Stock Mar
ket Again Disturbed.
NEW TORK. Dec. 6. Various factors
srved to disturb speculative sentiment In
the stock wnarket last week. Ever since
the Bank of England began to assert its
opposition to the extensive employment
of credit In speculation, and to force up
the London money market, evidences of a
scaling down of commitments in the New
York stock market have been observed.
The political crisis in England, which
culminated in the rejection of the budget
last week by the House of Lords, con
strains the Bank of England to maintain
its extraordinary proportion of reserves
and continue London's control of New
York gold supply. Gold went to South
.America last week on London orders in
an undiminished stream, . and combined
with the special requirements of the De
cember requirements and some large syn
dicate transactions, this made the call
loan money market subject to some flur
ries. The 6 per cent maximum rate of the
year was touched again and the calling
of loans by the banks restricted the sup
plies available for operations In the stock
market.
The drooping tendency after prices thus
Inaugurated gave weight to the misgiv
ings which arose over the anti-trust agi
tation and the prospect that it would
grow and intensify.
LUMBER STEAMER ASHORE
Crcvr Escapes Injury Off California
Coast, Moss Landing.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 6 The lumber
steamer Excelsior was driven ashore at
Moss Landing, SO miles south of this
city, during the storm last night. All tho

before it broke. The revenue cutter Mc
culloch has gone, to aid the Excelsior.

Conference to Decide.
A committee representing the East

from Buffalo to take part in the -conference
with the general managers,
which, it is expected will be held
Wednesday. 1 the managers take the
same position here they did In St. Paul,
and refuse to make any concessions, it
is probable that negotiations will ter

strike be Immediately ordered here and
In all centers between this city and

Traffic Delayed by Weather on AH
- Northern Lines.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 5. The switch
men's strike situation has been compli
cated by cold and snowy weather, which
has seriously affected traffic on the
Northern Pacific and some parts of the
Great Northern, according to reports is
sued by the general managers of those
roads tonight.
General Manager Slade, of the Northern
Pacific, said freight was more or less
tied up along the system on account of
the' snow, especially so in Northern Min
nesota and North Dakota.
Passenger trains are being run with
two engines. All trains from the North
and West arrived from one to four hours
late In St. Paul tonight.
It is said the Northern Pacific has all
the men here that it-needs and that new
arrivals are being shipped West. Thir
teen engines were working at Tacoma and
work is being opened up at Seattle, ac-
corain 10 Air. oiaoe.
General Manager G ruber, of the Great
Northern, said that his road had moved
between SO and 100 cars of wheat into
Minneapolis today and that freight was
handled at the Minnesota transfer today
for the first time since the strike began.
He said heavy .snow storms at Sioux City,
Grand Forks and Devils Lake are inter
fering with traffic, and that the work of
switching is necessarily slow. ; Snow de
layed traffic in Montana, he said. One
hundred and fifty men arrived today
from Chicago and St. Louis, most of them
being sent to Western points.
President Hawley, of tho Switchmen's
Union, said he had received word from
several Eastern points today that switch
men there are ready to strike on a mo
ment's notice.
EASTERN MEN HAVE DEMANDS
Committee Has Power to Call Strike
If Refused.
BUFFALO, Dec. 5. Authority to call
a strike of all union switchmen be
tween Buffalo and Chicago, if such a
course is deemed necessary, is vested
in a committee of the union which will
go to Chicago tomorrow to negotiate
with the general managers of 18 rail
roads for a settlement of certain de
mands. A referendum vote - to obtain the
sentiment of the organization and to
give the committee a free hand was
was taken . some time ago. according
to Grand Vice-President Burt. The dis
trict east of Chicago includes not only
Toledo, Fort Wayne, Detroit and other
important centers, but also takes in
points as far south as Pittsburg, so the
ranks of the strikers will be increased
by between , 12,000 and 15.000 men if
negotiations at Chicago fail.
The demands to be submitted at Chi-

cago will be for an average increase
in wages of 6 cents an hour, time and
a half for overtime, exceeding a 10
hour day. double time for Sundays and
holidays and a modification of the phy
sical test. Notices of these demands
were sent to general managers ofthe
lines in Chicago November 6, so that
the 30-day limit In which a reply must
be made expires tomorrow.'
Vice-President Burt today received a
telegram from , President Hawley that
the situation in the Northwest is satis
factory to union officials.

er the men shall go out or remain at

soon will present to 52 Eastern rail
roads for a 10-per cent increase in pay
is refused. It is expected the' final
schedule of advances - will be in the
hands of the railroad managers Thurs
day or Friday. The following state
ment was issued at the close of the
conference:
"The movement planned will have
nothing in common with the general
strike being conducted at present by
the Switchmen's Union of North Amer
ica, which is distinctly a rival and an
enemy of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen.
"This statement represents 101,000
switchmen and trainmen."

BONO ISSUE JOLTED
Wilson May Be Asked to Ex
plain His Attack.
DANGER OF OVERBUILDING
Western Senators, Advocates of Big
Bond. Issue, May Call Official
to Substantiate Statement.
Did Wilson Make It?
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Dec. 5. Tucked away in the
annual report of Secretary James Wil
son, of the Department of Agriculture,
Is one brief chapter that will do more
than anything else to block the passage
of an irrigation bond issue bill at the
present session of Congress. It is the
chapter on irrigation, wherein the Sec
retary says that new works "are built
at a constantly increasing cost, re
quiring more capital in the hands of
settlers, . . . and there is great
danger of overbuilding." And much
more to the same end.
The main argument in favor of a
bond issue is the necessity for com
pleting in the near future half a dozen
or more great projects which, without
this additional financial aid, cannot
be completed for many years. The ad
vocates of the bond Issue maintain that
there is demand for this land at the
price which has been or will be fixed
for Its irrigation, but along comes the
Secretary of Agriculture with a decla
ration that there is dagger of over
building, and a warning" that the in
creasing cost ls going to retard settle
ment and development In the irrigated
country.
Whether this paragraph was insert
ed in the Secretary's report with his
full knowledge and understanding, or
whether it was slipped In by some
minor official, the fact remains that it
must now be vouched for by the Secre
tary himself, and in that report he is
arraying himself and his Judgment
against Secretary Ballinger, the Recla
mation Service and the overwhelming
majority of Senators and Representa
tives from the West. He has provided
the opponents of the bond issue with
their very best argument, and the argu
ment thus supplied will be used freely
during the debates this Winter.
It is impossible to get at the facts in
Rheumatic, Kidney,
And Bladder Victims Should
Try German's Method
Gaut. the celebrated German special
ist, asserts that seven-tenths of the
feeble-minded and insane are the vic
tims of kidney diseases.
Nervousness, excitability, restless
ness, melancholia, pains in the back
and head, neuralgia and rheumatic
pains, fevers, chills, scanty urine,
highly colored and acid urine, burning
pains, fullness and soreness in the re
gion of the bladder, all indicate that
the kidneys are affected and "weak
ened, needing tonic treatment.
Tho very best physician should be
consulted at once, or let the following
simple, inexpensive, but reliable pre
scription be used for several weeks:
Mix one-half ounce fluid extract
Buchu with one ounce compound fluid
Balmwort and two ounces compound
syrup Sarsaparllla. Then take a tea
spoonful after each meal and one at
retiring, drinking plenty of good, pure
water between meals. This mixture
makes a splendid tonic and blood puri
fier. connection with Secretary Wilson's re
port, but it is a matter of common
knowledge that the irrigation division
of the Department of Agriculture is in
tensely Jealous of the growing prestige
of the Reclamation Service.
When the National reclamation act
was passed efforts were put forth to
have the construction of Government
works placed under direction of this
division in the Department of Agri
culture, and the failure of Congress to
do so made a number of soreheads.
They have, to some extent, been knock
ing ever since.
A thorough sifting would probably
show that someone in the irrigation di
vision had prevailed upon Secretary
Wilson to insert the above-quoted
statement in his report, as It would
have a tendency to block an Important
plan of legislation favored by the
reclamation Service: legislation which
would greatly enhance the strength and
importance of that bureau.
Perhaps the facts will be brought out
during the session, for advocates of a
bond issue are not willing to concede
the accuracy of Secretary Wilson's re
port, nor are they prepared to let that
statement go unchallenged.
