President Taft and Senator Tillman clashed last night In good-natured, discussion of the merits of the personnel of the Army In Cuba and in the Philippines at the annual banquet of .the International Order of the Caribou. The dinner was a private affair and the Army men and their guests were loath to disclose Just what was said, but It was learned the South Carolina Sena tor spoke in a characteristic vein .and made some pointed criticisms of the realized, as he told the President afterwards, that ho was touching Mr. Taft on a sore spot and the President seemed to understand that he was just doing it for the purpose of "stirring him up." for he said so In his reply, and while vigorously defending the Army he passed off the whole matter as a joke. Tillman Extends Congratulations. When the President concluded his speech, which those present declared was a 'rattling good one." Mr. Till man was the first to extend his hand in congratulation and the pair chatted amiablyfor several minutes. Since Mr. Taft has occupied the White House, Mr. Tillman has been persona grata there, although he had not entered its portals previously for nearly seven years. Tonight's Incident was therefore regarded as merely good natured banter between two friends and as neither participant howed any feeling it was treated lightly by the Caribouans and their quests. Speaker Cannon and Representative Hull of Iowa, chairman of the House committee on military affairs, also were present and made brief speeches. President Taft in his address said: Tillman Oets Eulogy. "My friend, the distinguished Sena tor from South Carolina, I have known well, have been glad to know him, have been honored by his friendship, and I want to assure you that he is a good deal better a fellow than you some times think from what he says. He Is not always one who sits and talks, thinking about the. race question and miscegenation and that sort of thing. He does have other thoughts, but when he gets on his feet and starts on that slippery subject it requires a good deal of force or a good deal of poise to keep him-from going further than he really wanted to go himself. "He says we are going to annex Cuba. Well, I don't think so. He thinks that because Cuba has a race question we have got to mix their race questloit and our race question have a sort of result with sulphur rising from it that is going to consume the world. I don't believe that. I ddn't believe the Senator does, except as the words roll from his lips and as they have rolled from his lips now since '99 on the Senate floor."

JURY CAN'T AGREE l r ' i i t t Liquor oase Agamsi ta jonn sen Fails to Hold. PLAN RETRIAL . AT ONCE Though Convicted and Fined In Mu nicipal Court, Jury rn Circuit . Court, After Deliberating Seven. Hours, ' Can't Convict. Failing to agree on a verdict after de liberating for over seven hours, the jury in the case of the state against Ed John son, charged with selling liquor without a license, was discharged by Judge Morrow late Saturday night. Johnson, formerly proprietor of the Dragon Restaurant, had been convicted of the offense In the Mu nicipal Court, where he was fined $100. From this sentence he appealed his case to the Circuit Court. Deputy District At torney Sullivan, who conducted the prose cution, said last night that the case would be retried immediately. This is the second of four cases of the same kind against Johnson for alleged violation of the liquor law! all of which have been appealed from the Municipal Court to be heard on appeal. Two of these cases are still pending in the Circuit Court, In one of which Johnson was not only fined, but was also sentenced to serve 60 days on the rockpile. The first case in the Circuit Court re sulted in favor of Johnson, the jury re versing the decision of the trial court and exonerating him of the charge. The second case was concluded shortly before noon yesterday, after Seneca Fouts, one of Johnson's attorneys,- had declared to the jury that the cases against Johnson had resulted, from the latter ceasing to pay tribute to the police for protection from arrest. Mr. Sullivan made a strenuous objection to Fouts' accusation, but as the same thing had been asserted previously In evidence, the court ruled that the at torney had a right to review it. While on the witness stand yesterday Sergeant Klenlen was asked if it were true that he had told Captain Slover that he would "get" Johnson yet, and he re plied that it ' was true, for he was de termined to bring the man to Justice for having violated the law, and not from any personal matter of revenge. PARIS AND LONDON WAIT RXOX' ' MANCHURIAX ' PLAN FAILS OF INDORSEMENT. Report Reaches Washington That Britain and France Withhold Move on Proposition. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. The report from Paris that both Great Britain and France will withhold indorsement of Sec retary Knox' plan for neutralizing the Manchurian roads was received at the State Department with much surprise and regret. No official announcement of such con templated action has been received here and the hope was1 expressed that the dec lination may yet be found to be at least conditional. The strongest hope was expressed that In any event the powers would give their assent to Mr. Knox' alternative proposi tion for the neutralization of the proposed Chin Chow Fu-Tsitsihar Agun Railroad. The construction of this road is deemed of the highest , importance In the scheme of developing the Western part of Man churia and Eastern. Mongolia, and from the American standpoint, it was said, there could be no valid objection either to its construction or its neutralization. DISPUTES DELAY SETTLEMENT French Declare Unfair Treatment In China Road Loan Deal. PARIS, Jan. 23.

After exchanges be tween the two Cabinets, both France and Great Britain have decided to conform their answers to Secretary Knox's Man churian proposition to those of Russia and Japan, which have declined the pro posal for the neutralization of the Man churian railways. "Whether the replies of France and Great Britain have been forwarded as yet to "Washington, however, is not disclosed. Although both Russia and Japan make reservations' regarding the Aigun-Tsitsi-kar proposition, the Temps today insists that the concession would be a violation of the Anglo-Russian convention of 1S99 and the Chino-Japan-ese conventions of 1905 and 1909 and consequently is certain of ultimate rejection.

BAD ROADS FILL CITIES Knox Draws Lesson From Experi ence or French Farmers. Yt-ASHINGTON, Jan. 2S. Secretary Knox believes that the congestion of pop- ulation In great cities is caused in large part by the lack of good roads In this country. He told the House committee on foreign affairs today that the rea son France was the best agricultural country in the world was because she had had good roads so long. "The agricultural population of France does not have to spend its money in re pairing vehicles and harness every Win ter. I think good roads have Improved the advantages of rural life. I think thej have caused the population to remain on the soil more than in any other coun try. You do not find that tendency to urban population in France and England that you do in this country," said Mr. Knox. ' ' The subject came- up in connection with the consideration of an appropri ation for the participation of the Uni ted States in the "permanent Associ ation of Road Congresses," an Interna tional affair. The Secretary also stated that auto mobiles were working havoc with roads. He got the appropriation. Council May Boss Alaska. . WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.

MASONS HOLD BANQUET WILLAMETTE LODGE, NO. 2, CEL EBRATES IN STRONG FORCE. Masonry Extolled as Making Good Men More Good Done by Assem bly Than Recluse. One hundred and eighty-one lodge mem bers, and invited guests were present at the annual banquet of Willamette Lodge, No. 2, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, held Saturday night at the Commercial Club. The occasion was marked with that good fellowship and good cheer for which all the social events of "Old Wil lamette" are noted. The officers of Willamette Lodge, No. 2, are: Worshipful Master, F. B. Mallory; senior warden, H. H. Parker; junior warden, "W. Russell Mackenzie; treasurer, Adrian McCalman; secretary, William S. Weeks; senior deacon, Edward J. Failing; Junior deacon, N. Paulsen; senior stew ard, William C. Saunders; junior stew ard, Albert E. King; chaplain, Rev. H. D. Chambers; tyler, George Hunt, It was 9:45 o'clock when Toastmaster H. H. Notrhup was Introduced and at his request Mr. Weeks read the list of those seven members of the lodge who have died during th year: 'Tonnis Tolli son, Robert L. Carroll. B. F. Clayton, Jacob Spiegel, Franci V. Drake, F. M. Arnold and George H. Andrews. Of these three were sojourning In other jurisdic tions at the time of their death, and four died in this vicinity. A silent toast was drunk to their memory. "The Grand Lodge" was the subject as signed to Grand Master Norris R. Cox and he changed It to an address on "Ma sonlo Symbols and Ideals." He recalled that it was in Willamette, No. 2, that he first saw Masonic light and experienced true fellowship. Briefly he emphasized the lessons taught by Masonry in . its character-building . and the duty of the Mason to the state and to his. fellowman. Past Master Knapp spoke for "Wil lamette Lodge" and said that, although in Masonic ritual it was No. 2 in thte state, it was No. 1 in the hearts of all present. "The more Masons we make, the better men we create," he went on, "and better for the community at large. What is a Mason? I believe it is best explained by the apprentice degree, which taches us our duty to God, to our neigh bor and to ourselves. I have known men who were good Masols .yet they IVid never been inside a Masonic lodge. If you ask me: Is there danger in making too many Masons? I answer: 'Be careful in accepting members.' Masonry Itself will do the rest." In the unavoidable absence of Judge Robert G. Morrow, Junior Grand Warden Burnett, of Salem, replied to the toast ,"The Blue. Lodge," and voiced the thought of the catholicity of Masonry In its members standing on a common plat form without being bound by any one creed. "It is good for Masons to got to gether," he proceeded. "No hermit or recluse ever reformed his fellowman. In the solitary silences. Get together. Hold an 'assembly of Masons.' (Applause and laughter.) No man can lie down on Ma sonry and expect it to do everything for him he must do everything for it." Grand Orator Beekman responded for "The State of Oregon" and referred to the lessons taught in Sam L. Simpson's poetry and the heritage that has been left us by the old pioneers. Past Grand Master Williamson spoke of "The Craft Wherever Dispersed" and Past Master Boyd responded to "From- Labor to Re freshment." At intervals during the progress of the banquet a woman's instrumental , quartet played patriotic and popular music, with excellent effect.

Oldtlme Oregonlan Built First Dalles Bakery, Returning to Iowa In 1868. Robert A. Nlccolls, an Oregon pioneer of 1S62 to 1S68, is the guest of his son. who has been a resident of Portland for the last six years. Mr. Niccolls was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsyl vania, August 25, 1834, and removed to Iowa with his parents in 1S42, settling near Burlington. A few years later he removed to Wapello County, whence, in 1802, with nine other persons, he started for Oregon May 26. The company had both horses and oxteams, and arrived at The Dalles September 25, remaining there until the following Spring. Mr. Niccolls recalls French Brothers, Handley & Sinnott, W. H. Newell, Will iam Laughlin and others who weue in business at The Dalles at that time. In the Spring of 1SS3 he went to Umatilla, and, being a carpenter, built a few of the first business houses there, including the first bakery. The next Spring he acquired 320 acres of land near S-ummerville in Grand Ronde Valley, and soon after engaged in freighting to Umatilla. In connection with that-business he recalls an experi ence which came near costing him heav ily. Having been intrusted by a man named Rinehart, at Summerville, with a large sum of money to pay to a man in Umatilla, upon paying it over he re quested a receipt. The man replied, "I will just put it down on the books that will be all right. See, here is the entry crediting the amount." "No, that will not do," said Mr. Niccolls; "I must have a receipt. I want something to show that I have paid the money to you." Mr. Niccolls had to repeat the demand sev eral times before a receipt was written on a dirty sprap of brown paper. The actions of the man aroused his suspicions, and he was careful not to mislay the re ceipt. Upon his return to La Grande he found the Umatilla man had failed and his books did not show that the money in question had been received. His credi tors were endeavoring to show that Rine hart had not paid the money and were preparing to sue him for It. Mr. Niccolls left Grand Ronde Valley in 1S68 for Iowa, and two years later BRIGHT'S DISEASE Report Case of Mr. B.
