ACTIVITY URGED ON LEADERS
Spite of Senatorial Opposition,
Postal Banks Sure.
MUST MAKE GOOD PLEDGE
Executive Opines Regular Savings
Institutions "Will Not Be Affected
and Lawmakers See It Is to f
Their Fences' Interest.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ZL- President Taf t
read in the papers today that the Senate
was marking time while the House Is
struggling with the various appropriation
bills. So he sent for Senators Penrose
of Pennsylvania, Crane of Massachusetts
and Carter of "Montana, and asked why it
would not be a good thing for the Senate
to "get busy" on some of the measures
he has recommended.
Senator Aldcich, being- absent from the
city, was not included in the summons.
The President broached the subject of
the postal savings bank bill. The Sena
tors summoned are members of the com
mittee on postof flees and postroads. Mr.
Penrose is chairman. ' Senator Carter is
sponsor for the measure.
Oposition Is Encountered.
Some Senators, it was suggested, in
reply to the President, are not warni
advocates of the postal banks. In fact,
it was said that such states as Massa
chusetts and Pennsylvania great strong
holds of saving institutions are not at
all In favor of the scheme. But. the
President argued, the Republican plat
form called for postal savings banks and
surely the Senators were going to re
deem the party pledges.... But what about j
the House? This was propounded .as a
poser.
President Taft is said to have assured
the Senators that they need not worry
about the House. It Is said that there
is every reason, to believe the House is
coming aotiund all right; that its members
are coming to the President for the good
reason that they have no other place
to go.
Taft Is Become Magnet.
"It's a case of water running down hill,"
said one of the President's callers todayC
"He does not have to go to the regulars
or the insurgents either. They have got
to come to blm. Every man on Capitol
Hill is looking for another term and he's
got to" have something to go before the
public on. Congress has got to do some
thing and all the Republicans, regardless
of the fight against Cannon or the Houm
committee, are going to vote for Taft's
measures."
So it happened when Senators Penrose,"
Crane and Carter left the "White House,
. the latter, acting as spokesman for the
trio, declared:
"The postal savings bank proposition
will become a law at this session."
Other Taft Measures Sure.
The postal banks, however, will not
be the finat of the Taft measures con
sidered. The President ranks' his rec
ommendations for changes in the inter
state commerce law as of first importance
and he so indicated his position to the
Senators this afternoon.
The President told his callers also that
he regarded at least one of the conserva
tion bills he has recommended to Con
gress as of prime importance. This is the
bill to validate the withdrawal of lands
containing water power sites, coal and.
phosphates. The laws as to -the disposi
tion of these lands can be worked out and
threshed over at the convenience of Con
gress. Alaska Coal Lands Included.
The important thing, the President be
lieves, is to validate withdrawals made
under the former adnllnlstration and in
the 10 months of the present Administra
tion under the shadowy power of discre
tion of the Secretary of the Interior. The
President wants this power made unques
tionable. The valuable Alaska coal lands are
Included in the withdrawals which Mr.
Taft Is anxious to have validated. Sen
ators Penrose. Carter and Crane took
back this word to the Capitol late to
day and passed it along the line. Mr.
Taft believes the Senate should go
ahead with these measures at once, and
then, he said, the House can get them
In some sort of shape, can have the
benefit of the Senate discussion and can
put the measures through in short time
once the Senate bills are disposed of.
The President Is confident that Senator
Aldrich will do all he can to further
the passage of the postal savings bank
bill. t -
Postal Banks Must Be Formed.
This bill, it Is argued, will give the
leader of the Senate an opportunity to
' show the people that they are to get
their share of benefits of forthcoming
financial legislation. Mr. Aldrich ts
anxious to obtain the support of the
country for the new currency laws, and
the President believes the best way to
get this support is first to provide the
postal banks.
The President believes, first of all,
that the postal banks -will not interfere
to any appreciable extent with. the reg-

Young "Women in Vermont Town
Seize at Chance, and Letters Pour
In a Dozen a Bay.
DAYTOX, Wash.. Jan. 21. (Special.)
It will be the fault of the sturdy
young bachelors of this place If they
do not find the amiable wives they
eeek. The news of the formation of a
bachelors' club here recently has gone
abroad and letters pour in at the rate
of a dozen a day telling about young
women who are willing to come to Day
ton to become the wives of prosperous
young men. Parenthetically it ought
to be observed that no untruth was told
when the announcement of the forma
tion of the club was coupled with the
statement that young men hereabouts
are prosperous.
The only states In the union that
have not responded to the news that
Dayton' has a bachelors' club are Ari
zona and New Mexico and it has been
suggested to your correspondent that
he Is premature in classing them as
states. The club has a bushel basket
full of replies and more come In with
every mall.
The most Impressive of them all is a
letter mailed by a school teacher in a
small town In Vermont, containing a
sort of round robin, with forty-seven
signatures.- The letter does ndt say
whether the letter was voted upon in
mass meeting or circulated from house
to house.
All of the forty-seven Vermont girls
unless they are joking the Dayton
boys are willing t become Blue
Mountain wives. But the bachelors
hereabouts will make no answer until
all the returns are in.
BILLBOARD FIRM LOSES
Paint-Daubed Fences in Tacoma
Limited to Six Feet in Height.
TACOMA. Wash., Jan. 21. Special.)
Superior Judge Shackleford today denied
the petition of Foster & Klelser for a
writ of mandamus to compel City Build
ing Inspector Trust to grant a permit for
the erection of a bill board on Puyallup
avenue.
The court sustained the demurrer of
the City Attorney sustaining the validity
of the new six-foot bill board ordinance.
The petitioners contended that the city
ordinance limiting the height of bill
boards to six feet was Invalid, being, it
was argued, an unreasonable exercise of
police power.
It was argued that if the ordinance
was enforced it would put bill boards out
of business, which is what the City Coun
cil has. been aiming to do.

.Withdraw on Demand.
' WASHINGTON, Jan. Confirming the
story of his readiness to retire from Con
gress in favor of Theodore Roosevelt.
Representative Cocks, of New, York, who
represents the Oyster Bay district where
the Roosevelt home is located, added to
day that he had informally talked the
subject over with Mr. Roosevelt.
The talk was entirely informal," said
Mr. Cocks, "and the President's ex

subsequent to his Presidential term was
brought up." . .
SLIVER INJURY SERIOUS
Woman Gravely Hurt Putting Stick
of Wood In Stove.
EUGENE, Or.. Jan. 21. (Special.)
When Mrs. John West, residing at 257
West Ninth street, was putting a stick
of wood In a stove yesterday morning
a sliver entered one of the fingers of
her right hand and although the sliver
was removed promptly the lacerated
finger continued to give her so 'much
pain that a physician was called.
Both Civil and Criminal
Action May Follow.
DISSOLUTION SUIT LIKELY
Proceedings to Be Begun Be
fore Chicago Grand Jury.
BLAMED FOR .HIGH PRICES
Swift, Morris and Armour Concerns
Believed to " Control ' National
Packing Company, Which Reg
ulates Prices on Fresh Meats.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. The "beef
trust." so-called. Is to be prosecuted by
the National Government. The Depart
ment of Justice evidently believes its
existence is a leading factor in main
taining the present high prices of fresh
meats.
The contemplated action of the de
partment follows an investigation that
has been conducted by special agents
for several months. Initial proceedings
will begin before the grand jury at Chi
cago, and may Include both civil and
criminal actions.
The firms mentioned in connection
with the subject include Swift & Co.,
Morris & Co. and Armour & Co., all of
which firms, it Is said, are Interested
in the National Packing Company. The
three first-named concerns are com
monly reported to control the National
corporation.
-Dissolution Suit Possible." '
The aim of the department has been
to ascertain the relations between the
several firms, individually and with f.he
National . Packing Company, to deter
mine whether they have-control in the
prices of fresh meats.
One possible method of action may
be a suit to dissolve the company, un
der the Sherman anti-trust law operat
ing in restraint of Interstate trade.
Proceedings against Individuals also
may result.
In the Investigations the department
had its agents inquire into the practice
of .a Western railroad in making ship
ments for Morris & Co. These prac
tices, Jt was charged, amounted to re
bating.y It was decided that, though
the practices were Improper, they did
not amount to rebating. They were
discontinued.
i
Counsel Hastens to Chicago.
Upon learning of the intended action
of the Department of Justice, Alfred
Urlon, head of the legal department of
Armour & Co., hurriedly left for Chi
cago. Mr. Urlon had been in Washing
ton more than a week, watching the
developments In the proposed action,
and it,,is understood he had some con
ferences with the Attorney-General.
Patrick Keeps Up Fight.
NEW YORK. Jan. 21. Albert T. Pat
rick, who is serving a life term for the
murder of William Marsh Rice, applied
today to the appellate division of the
Supreme Court for a writ of habeas
corpus allowing him to appear and re
sist the action for his disbarment which
the Bar Association has brought. In
this way Patrick, it Is said, expects to
get his case again before the courts
and secure another chance for freedom.
PEACE
Herders' Unable to 'Drive Off Wild
Animals, Wire Fences Are Put
Around Feed Stacks.
SHERIDAN, Wyo., Jan. 21. Stock
men In this section are still alarmed
over the shortage of feed due to the
prolonged unfavorable weather.
Heavy losses are reported in some
districts,' many sheep having died be
cause the owners' could not get food
for them. Losses aggregatiing 20,000
head have been reported.
An additional cause for apprehension
is felt among ;the flockmasters of the
Powder River country, about ninety
miles southeast of Sheridan, where 200
head of antelopes suddenly appeared
this morning and took possession of
the ranch of John Cooper on the mid
dle fork of Powder River, between
Kaycee and Sussex.
The antelope appeared nearly starved
and ate ravenously the feed that had
been sparingly provided for sheep.
Cooper and a number of men sought
to drive the antelope away, but the
hungry animals refused to leave.
Fearing their stacks of hay "might be
badly depleted before additional feed
could be secured for the sheep, the
stockmen are busily engaged in build
ing wire fences around hay stacks.
Meantime the antelope are eagerly de
vouring all feed within reach.
FLEET MOVEMENT CHANGED

SNOW BANK SAVES TRAIN
Oriental Limited Jumps Track, but
No One Is Injured.
EVERETT, Wash., Jan. 21. Although
the engine and five coaches of the Great
Northern's east-bound ' Oriental Limited
left the track at Drury, a small station
on the east side of the Cascade tunnel,
early this morning, no one was injured
and the damage -was slight.
The fact that so little damage resulted
is credited to the large snow banks,
which acted as a buffer to the derailed
train. The accident is said to have been
caused by a snowslide.
MOVEMENT THAT WOULD. HELP SOME.
Boycott Against High
Prices Growing.
HOTEL MEN JOIN MOVEMENT
Many Cities Report That Plan
Is Finding Favor.
THOUSANDS SIGN PLEDGES
Ministers, Labor Unions and Plain
Citizens Enroll Names In New
Cause Quotations Drop
at Some Points.
CHICAGO, Jan. 21. (Special.) West
ward the meat boycott makes its way,
gathering momentum as It passes. The
"no meat" propaganda started in Cleve
land has spread as far west as Den
ver and promises to project its in
fluence to the Pacific Coast.
Labor unions' and federations, church
organizations, women's clubs. City
Councils and even state departments of
justice in the West are lined up in the
fight against what is generally believed
to be an intolerably high plane of
prices for table foods. The feeling
was intensified tonight when the an
nouncement "came from Washington
that the Federal Department of Justice
was planning to proceed against the
'beef packers.
Observers Differ as to Blame.
Although there Is agreement that
prices are unwarrantedly high, there
is a difference of opinion as to where
the blame should be lodged. There Is
a large element which holds the pack
ers responsible. Others voice the opin
ion that the burden of the people's
woes must be placed at the doors of
the farmers and cattle and hog pro
ducers. Still another body of house
holders holds to the view that the
wholesalers and retailers are gouging
their customers beyond the limit of
endurance.
Dispatches tonight from Kansas City,
St. Louis. Pittsburg, Mil-waukie, St.
Joseph, Memphis, Omaha, Mpntgomery,
Detroit and other cities tell of the
spread of the anti-meat campaign and
of the pitch, of Indignation to which
the masses are aroused.
Million Expected to Join.
If the prospects painted today in
telegraphic dispatches are borne out by
facts later, next week will see at least
a million persons between the Alle
gheny and Rocky mountains pledged
to abstain from meat.
Advices from Kansas City are spe
cific. The prediction is made there that
80,000 persons will join the eat-no-meat
movement. Labor leaders are active,
enthusiastic and effective in their ef
forts. The Carmen's Union, with 300
members, voted today to abstain from
flesh food for a month. The Allied
Printing Trades Council, representing
5500, the Building Trades Council, and
the Industrial Trades Council, repre
senting 13,000 members of 99 crafts,
have called meetings with the avowed
purpose of advancing the boycott cause.

BAD CHECKS BRING CASH

SAN PEDRO, Cal., Jan. 21. (Spe

swindlers who has operated in this

various real estate - agents, giving
checks as deposits. He would then
draw a check for from $10 to $50 for
himself personally and receive the cash,

Sunday afternoon, when he entered a
Front-street restaurant and negotiated
with the proprietor for its purchase,
paying a deposit on the business with

vanced him $10 On a second check.
